The legos in the set design at the end indicates this is all Kevin playing with toys. A boy playing with his toys often ends in a big battle, so Elliot brings all his toys - cowboys, space ship, etc - to fight evil.
The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen is just as crazy.
This is part of what is considered the Gilliam trilogy.
* Time Bandits - Childhood
* Brazil - Adulthood
* Baron Munchausen - Golden Years
Gilliam became known for fantastical movies and so he made "The Fisher King" and got carried away with the fiery knight.
You had to see it as an 11 year old kid, god I loved this movie. Imagine being a kid and get to go on that adventure.
As an adult, I dunno, it’s weird but in a way I can’t stop returning to it. It’s SO brilliantly trippy.
As a 5-year old kid, this movie was absolutely fascinating to me. Also, that ending... Kid says "Don't touch it, it's Evil." And the first thing the parents do, *TOUCH*. It's just absolutely nuts.
Terry Gilliam's modus operandi for this movie was to make a kid's movie FOR kids: no morals, no hidden messages, just have absolute hilarious chaos going on. And in the original DVD commentary for the film, he points out that the ending is one that parents kind of freak out about, but little kids think is just hilarious.
Well, I wouldn't exactly call THIS a "kid's" movie. It had some pretty adult oriented humor. And some pretty gross scenes too.
@@IanFindly-iv1nl That's an adult problem.
Kids just tend to vibe on it.
Yeah, this flick is pretty broad and gnarly to be a kiddie flick. I guess it's similar to how Ralph Bakshi claims he made Wizards "for children" even though that movie features violence, profanity, and themes like Nazism, prostitution, and nuclear devastation.
@@IanFindly-iv1nlas an 11 year old that saw it originally, yea, it’s a kids movie but times were a LOT different than.
I watched it as a kid also and it did not feel like a "kids' movie. I guess that was part of the attraction to me. It felt very adult. Especially the ending. The ending gave me anxiety about being abandoned. His parents were gone and he was alone. lol I quickly learned the difference between darker. British/European endings verses happy endings of American movies. 😁
This made perfect sense to everyone in the 80's.
A crazy inventive movie, Terry Gilliam's best. Love the song at the end, too. RIP George Harrison.
YES! Love this movie! Now The Adventures of Baron Munchausen? (And yes growing up watching movies like this would have made you even more weird. I should know..)
Another movie with "people" in it.
Don't forget "Brazil"
Ahhhhhhhh, excuse me for saying so, but the giant in THIS flick makes quite a bit more sense than the aliens in Life of Brian. Firstly, THIS one's already FANTASY to start with. It's not like something from a sci fi flick making an appearance in a Biblical epic. Second, THAT scene took place in what was supposed to be a "Time of Legends" (the characters even said that), hence the reason for the giant and the ogre and so forth during THAT particular segment.
Several of the Little People in this were also involved in the Star Wars movies. Fidgit (who got crushed by the column) played R2-D2. A few of the others played Jawas and/or Ewoks. Mike Edmonds, who played Og, was the puppeteer for Jabba the Hutt's tail.
Forget Casablanca, forget Citizen Kane, forget The Godfather...Time Bandits IS the greatest film ever made.
🥰🥰🥰
Straight FACT!!!
"If you're not Sean Connery you're not people."
I need that on a shirt!
Cool. More Terry Gilliam. Brazil next?
Definitely Brazil!
Not enough people react to Fisher King, feels like a movie that needs to be rediscovered. Hits a lot harder than most TG films too.
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Let's get weird
Honestly, I think Brazil is overrated. Great elements but real pacing problems. Instead I'd recommend Jabberwocky, Baron Munchausen, The Fisher King, and of course 12 Monkeys.
“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.” That’s the reaction I’d like to see.
Not one of his more famous rolls but David Warner, the actor who played Evil, said that he had the most fun playing his character in this movie. It was a real joy.
He nailed the role
I can't even count the amount of times I watched this on cable as a little kid! I was obsessed with trying to draw/create my own map with all the accurate portals, and I loved the George Harrison song at the end ("Dream Away"). Weirdly enough, I wasn't even phased by the "dark-ish" ending, despite Kevin effectively becoming an orphan. You momentarily think that the whole adventure was in Kevin's head, but Gilliam subverts that by including the polaroids, etc. Such a unique, iconic film. So glad you decided to check this one out!
I feel you on this. When I was 8 we stayed at my Grandma's house in like 1982 for a summer and she had the most wonderful invention for tv watchers at the time - premium cable [that she got for free 'cos her son was selling pot to the cable installer -(never paid a bill for like 20 years!]. It came on every day that summer on HBO in the early afternoon and so I literally watched it 5-6 days a week for a season. The movie, the characters, and their antics consumed our play and fantasy worlds that entire summer and both started and fostered my love of history and zaniness. Thank you, thank you, thank you Terry Gilliam and crew for being such an important part of my childhood!
A British perspective - when I was about 12 my father hired this on VHS from the local village post office, and I had that tape ALL weekend! Anyway, i managed to watch it five times across the Saturday and Sunday. This is without a doubt one of my top five all time movies! Actually, haven't watched it for a while, must go find the disk...
The Ogre, named "Winston" always gets me in this movie!
One of my MOST favorite films! Everything about it and everyone in and connected with it are simply perfect. Exciting, quirky, wild, and funny as hell. In particular, David Warner and Sir Ralph Richardson are pure bliss. Richardson's voice is truly one of the great joys of cinema. I highly recommend him in the brilliant "Dragonslayer".
I first saw this as a young kid back in the 80's, and it's the only film that I remember giving me nightmares without me knowing quite why.
Although between this and CS Lewis I had quite an issue with wardrobes for a few years.
For more insanity from Gilliam, I highly recommend The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and Brazil. For something more down to Earth, I suggest The Fisher King starring Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams. Excellent film.
I agree with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen as a watch.
Fisher King is an allegorical MASTERPIECE! It’s certainly one of the most earnest films in the Gilliam roster and near cinematic perfection IMO.
@@DanielOrion74 One of my favs, I wonder why there's no proper reaction video to it; could only be the way the transgender person is displayed & that doesnt run nowadays anymore;
but they existed , had the exact bearded skirtclad attention seeker in my town before the movie was made! ;P
"You are so mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence" What a line!
Harrison not only (co)produced the film, but he also provided the final credits tune, "Dream Away."
You guys should watch 'The Adventures of Baron Munchausen'. Another Terry Gilliam movie with a surprising cast...and also equally wild like this movie.
Holy shite, this is another 80's fantasy / adventure classic for the top shelf. What's crazy is that I grew up on a VHS copy of this but I honestly don't think I've watched it since the friggin 80's! I'm having all kinds of warm fuzzy childhood memories flooding back as I watch this recap. Nobody does fantasy like the 80's🤘😎
I have not seen this movie in years and forgotten how hysterical it is. Thank you for this and all the wonderful reactions
Regarding George Harrison, I have always heard that it was Life Of Brian that was financed by George Harrison because he wanted to see it made after reading the script. This led to the creation of Handmade Films.
A short excerpt from the Wikipedia article about Handmade Films:
When the original financiers of Brian, EMI Films, pulled out of the project less than a week before filming was to commence, the creators had to find other financing.[3][4] Harrison, a friend and fan of the Pythons, mortgaged his home in order to finance the feature.[1] Eric Idle of the Pythons later called it "the most anybody's ever paid for a cinema ticket in history".[5] Life of Brian grossed $21 million at the box office in the US.[2
Maybe the third Vincent and Pansy bit was that they were the skeletons in the other cage. They just didn't have any lines.
"THEY CALL ME BRUCE" is an absolute MUST, please chat help make that happen, one of the weirdest 80s ridiculous comedy movies from that decade, and those who know just know
The film remained number one for 4 weeks and grossed $36 million in the United States and Canada on a budget of $5 million (£2.2 million), and was the 13th highest-grossing film of the year in North America.
The way Emily laughs and talks when she's laughing is exactly how my youngest sister laughs and talks
Brazil is next in the Trilogy of Imagination. But I recommend reading Nineteen Eighty-Four, first.
I get a Krull reference while watching Time Bandits? Two of my favorite movies as a kid. I’m so happy!
I had a reoccurring nightmare for years that only stopped after I rewatched this movie at 19 and realized that the dream was the scene at the beginning where the room pushes out into a long dark hallway. I remember being chased down the hall and ending up in a forest. My dad was a huge Monty Python nerd, so I must have seen Time Bandits when I was super young.
I cannot begin to count the number of times I watched this movie as a kid. It wasn't mentioned but Fidgit is Kenny Baker aka R2D2. Also, This is the first movie in what Terry Gilliam called his "Trilogy of Imagination", the other two are Brazil and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, I do hope you watch those as well.
Hahaha on another note I was looking at the cast and the ogre with the ship on his head played Maester Aemon in Game of Thrones.
Time Bandits, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Yellowbeard, and Erik the Viking (in no particular order are my all time favorite movies throughout my childhood as well as adult life.
I own them on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray. 😁
Never knew about Brazil. I must find and watch that now.
Kevin was lovely. I've been out for meals with him & his son. I've also been to the pub with several other Time Bandits. Top times. They get mildly irked with the amount of people who ask them if Michael Palin is as nice in real life. Apparently he really is. 😂
@@shanem4703Brazil would be my favourite one in your collection list , hope you had fun with it! 😀
A classic fro m my youth. I was 8 when this came out. Watched it multiple times when it hit HBO.
For more quirky/campy british movie action check out "Bed Knobs and Broomsticks"
I saw this in a theater when I was 11 years old. It's a favorite, along with Brazil.
I love that I can google "Time Bandits" and your reaction comes up 1st. What can I say - it knows me! 🤔🤔
One of the most enjoyable movies you could watch as a kid because watching the movie first time it was fantastically unpredictable and let your imagination take you to places well outside of the initial story.
Don't touch it! It's evil!!
I was a child when this film came out and I loved it. A great line from Matthew in the Titanic scene 'see they're sharing a door!'
Thanks for another fun reaction and I hope that Emily has a great birthday.
When the knife-o-matic came up out of his head, all I could think of is Beetlejuice “attention K-Mart shoppers!”
But they were smaller than Jack and Rose.
This movie is etched in my heart. It makes me happy just knowing someone else has now seen it. Everyone should watch it with the eyes of a 9 year old.
"if I had seen these (movies like this and Flash Gordon) when I was younger, I'd be so much weirder than I already am"
Emily is the best! ❤
This movie absolutely blew my mind as a little kid.
Don't know why/how it took so long to find you guys but you are fast becoming my favourite film reactors (I watch quite a few). I'm a little surprised by the 7.5 because you seemed to be having a really good time watching it. I can't imagine the Supreme Being as anyone else but Sir Ralph (up there with Lawrence Olivier as a Shakespearean actor) his bumbling rather uncertain performance was perfect for a representation of 'God'. Great movie, great reaction, great fun. Looking forward to more reactions - I highly recommend the wonderfully bizarre 'Withnail & I'
I was lucky enough to see this age 11 at the cinema. Absolutely blew me away.
The look on Ian Holm's face as Napoleon during the Me And My Shadow number is priceless.
Well that's a great start into the "Trilogy of Imagination".
Now you could do the two following movies "Brazil" and "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen".
This was Terry Gilliam at his finest. :)
When I realised he had a photo of the Map it made it all make sense.
This came out when I was one, so by tthe time it was in regular tv circulation, I was 3-5. So this was a real fever dream movie for me, where I had vague memories, but no idea what it was for years.
Same with Rock n' Rule (a definite weird 80's recommend)
"This one was wierd y'all". That really sums up this movie.
I’ve loved this since I was a kid and I was thrilled to see it pop up on my recommended. There was about 1 second from me seeing the title and clicking it.
Ooo! How exciting! What a great choice. This will be fun. Thanks! :)
Saw this in the theater when I was 20, have watched it over n over, keep seeing things I missed. Anything made by MPFC and especially George Harrison I'm in.
Such a great cult classic. Spend a day watching this movie with MP and the Holy Grail, and The Jabberwocky. And yes maybe be a little elevated in the brain pan will help lol.
There’s something Very ‘Pythonesque’ about this movie even though it was Directed by Terry Gilliam , and I think it’s because of John Cleese and Michael Palin are in it. Great reaction. 😌
Half a Python movie.
@@DodgerFanAD_23 that makes no sense
This is my favorite movie of all time. I was absolutely infatuated with it as a kid, and I still very much love it as an adult. This was one of the very first films I saw when I was in childhood that had a “dark” ending, too-and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED it.
Time Bandits and Ice Pirates, my goto childhood combo.
Yes!!!! Ice Pirates was a big favorite for me, as was this one...
People who have never seen this movie before will never know what an invisible barrel looks like😊
One of my all-time favorite movies! When I watched this way back in the 80s, I spent weeks wandering around the house and pushing on random walls. You know: just in case.
Good reaction. Emily, this is a movie where you just enjoy the ride. Don't think too much. It's a fun ride.
You need to watch Yellowbeard. Some Pythons and some Mel Brooks company got together to make a pirate movie. You'll love it.
And I love the ogre's wife, Katherine Helmund. So funny and sexy.
"see? they're sharing a door." made me laugh out loud. thnx!
I wished my cat behaved that well. He just wants attention all the time, the bastard 🤣 No, I love him
You just made my night. One of my all time favorite movies since seeing it as a kid in the movies before I even knew who Terry Gilliam was.
Deeper meaning? Nope. I really liked Monte Python and really enjoyed this. I wasn't a kid when I saw it. That would have made it perfect. Good reaction. Thanks.
This was our jam back in the day. And after having kids, we corrupted them too. Love this movie, worship Gilliam. Glad you had a good time with it.
Ralph Richardson who plays the Surpeme Being was a reknowned classical actor, and he was most associated with Shakespeare and prestigious theatre roles, so for audiences in the '80s his presence in this film would have been a point of irony where chaotic low-comedy collides with high-art.
Time Bandits was directed by the great Terry Gilliam! I am sure a lot of people will tell you to watch his movie Brazil next, but I will recommend some other titles instead: *Jabberwocky* (1977) set in a very filthy Middle Ages, *The Adventures of Baron Munchausen* (1988) even wilder than Time Bandits, *The Fisher King* (1991) a very dark rom-com, and *12 Monkeys* (1995) a time-travel thriller, arguably his last great film. (12 Monkeys was later remade as a surprisingly good TV show on Syfy.)
Ohhhh I've been waiting a looooooonnnnnggg time for this one! An absolute classic film. Before I die, Emily NEEDS to watch Jabberwocky.
I was three years old when this first came out, but it was on cable (HBO etc) all the time in the late 80s, early 90s...I graduated 1996 🙂
So much fond memories.
Saw this over 30 years ago late night by sheer chance. After that i lay in bed thinking 'wtf did i just watch' ?
Surely, Pippin should have awarded the film 10 Supreme BEANS!
This movie came to mind with this whole Time Traveler in the shed all over the internet right now. ❤
My bestest favorite movie. 1st movie i saw when i got cable tv.
Fidgit is played by Kenny Baker, perhaps best known as R2D2. A movie can't get more chaotic than this. Or can it? Off to 'Brazil' you go :)
"Brazil" also directed by Terry Gilliam, is my favourite film of all time!
Brazil sucks!
I absolutely loved this movie when I was a kid. I don't know how many times I saw it on came on on cable TV and then later on VHS and still will watch it anytime I see it on. I think it was my gateway to Monty Python. Such a wonderful gem of a movie and YES despite the fact that nowadays people would probably shudder to think that this was made for kids. Have to remember us kids from that decade saw movies that parents probably would not show their kids today. We were made of sterner stuff.
If you grew up watching 1970s kids TV in Britain then this movie is kinda normal :)
This is one of the first movies I remember my parents renting on video. I was five (it was 1982). I guess they thought it would be fine for me to watch, because it was the Monty Python guys, but it *scared the absolute shit out of me* and traumatized me for years. Oops. 🤣
I watched it again as an adult, and it was funny af, but I still had the little kid in the back of my head who remembered the nightmares.
Loved this film when it first came out.
Sat in the front row with my 4yr-old son, but the film was just too intense for him. When that horse and rider crashed out of the wardrobe, he jumped under his coat. Poor thing spent most of the film under the coat.
The film was fun enough, but the reaction was a whole extra level! So enjoyed this!!! ❣💥
You should move on to "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" (1988), another extravaganza film with big name actors, written and directed by Terry Gilliam. That would be a wonderful reaction film!
Seasonal reaction suggestion:
"Bell, Book and Candle" (1958)
Big name actors, Christmas, witchcraft, Beatniks, publishing, New York City, and a cat named Pyewacket.
This is my favorite Christmas movie!
My memory of this movie from when I was a kid. I remember confusing it with Ice Pirates. I remember I liked both movies. I vaguely remember the beginning and the end, but otherwise I have no recollection of anything I saw in this reaction.
I remember watching this in theatres back in the days. ⌚️
I love this film made by George Harrison's Handmade Films company
The closing credits features Harrison's song "Dream Away" which is off his album "Gone Tropo"
The ogre with the bad back is played by Peter Vaughn - Maester Aemon of the Night's Watch (Game of Thrones)
Ralph Richardson was the original Cryptkeeper. Went on to be the Supreme Being here, and the memorable Wizard from Dragonslayer in the same year, then died two years later.
I saw this as a child, and for YEARS I imagined various secret walls and stuff could be pushed and become portals.
For those of us in Britain of a certain age, I remember David Rappapport as Shades in Tiswas. A tragic but amazing guy.
He starred in a TV series here in the states called The Wizard around 1987 produced by the same two guys who went on to produce the iconic series Baywatch just a few years later.
Hi you two, first time watcher of one of my favourite films starring my favourite actor, David Warner. Great watch! I'm based in UK near Southend and Mike Edmonds once deejayed at our local golf club when I was about 10, got a signed photo! I'm 55 now and still use the Supreme Beings line, 'yes,well,i am the nice one' to this day! Best wishes!
With the death of Malcolm Dixon (Strutter) in 2020, the only Bandit left is Mike Edmonds (Og). I'm surprised you didn't note that Kenny Baker (Fidgit) was also R2-D2. I was fortunate enough to meet him at the San Diego Comic-con at some point ('96 or '97 sounds right). I actually rode an elevator with him, Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) and Jeremy Bulloch (the original Boba Fett). Loved your reaction.
FUN FACT: the bandit Fidget was played by Kenny Baker. He also played R2D2 in the original STAR WARS.
As I heard it, the script called for someone with a build like Sean Connery. When he showed up, he said (insert Connery accent) "I assume I have the proper build for the role."
I loved this movie as a kid and I still do!
One of my favorite movies as a kid, partially due to the Monty Python connection which is your typical English type humor but I always liked the underlying clever questioning about the universe and why things are what they are...good vs evil and is god fallible or is it just a master plan. Thought that was always meant to leave the viewers with questions aside from a good laugh or two
One of my favorite childhood movies.
The Evil one with the knife-O-matic made me think of Beetlejuice.
You missed the fact that Kenny Baker (Fidgit) is better known for R2-D2. Also the ogre on the boat played by Peter Vaughn, was Maester Aemon in GoT.
I saw this as a kid that scene at the end with the parents is all I remember these many years later.
I saw it in the theater when I was 6 or 7. To answer your question about how well it did, the movie did very well. It was a relatively low budget movie (5 million) and made approximately 30 million in the box office. I think it did well because it pulls off the shrek gambit. I definitely didn’t catch all the stuff about consumerism and the reasons for evil, etc., but I did enjoy watching a movie with funny dwarfs and a cool kid having adventures through time. Add in a cool George Harrison song at the end and the boomers are going to have fun with it too.
The bullhead mask worn by the dude fighting Agamemnon was reused in GLADIATOR.
So inventive from start to finish - imagine being inside of Terry Gilliam's head lol.
one of my favorite movies as a kid. it was movies like this that got me restricted from picking out movies when we rented movies to watch
