I loved that movie! In fact when I got hooked on the British series Robin of Sherwood in the 1980's I thought it tied in rather nicely with this film (not just because the Robin in the last episode was Sean Connery's sone either).
As to the aging question? It depends I suppose. Not too many old age homes for heroes or superheroes either. With Buffy there are lots of fics that explore different possibilites about a Slayer and aging. I have always thought the Cruciamentum was a way for the Council to be rid of troublesome maturing Slayers to replace them with more pliant youngsters (for whatever reason...maybe there is a natural attraction to vampires that could prove pesky if unchecked in a sexually mature and "independent and consentual aged" Slayer *G*).
Good question though.
