CLIP DESCRIPTION:
As the Baron (John Neville) and his men come under attack for taking all of the Sultan's (Peter Jeffrey) treasure, the line between theater and reality begins to blur.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Director Terry Gilliam adroitly applies his Monty Python sensibilities upon the "career" of famed German prevaricator Baron von Munchausen. Played herein by John Neville, the baron is seen quelling a war that he himself started, flying into the stratosphere on the back of a cannonball, ballooning to the moon, exploring the innards of a volcano, being swallowed by a whale....In short, all of Munchausen's fabulous lies are here presented as "truth," played out in full view of nonplussed witnesses Eric Idle, Charles McKeown, Jack Purvis, and Sarah Polley. Fringe benefits include several loving medium shots of jaybird-naked Uma Thurman as Boticelli's Venus and an extended unbilled cameo by Robin Williams -- that is, by the head of Robin Williams -- as the King of the Moon. Filmed under considerable duress on a budget eventually exceeding 45 million dollars, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen never quite caught on with moviegoers, though it has enjoyed a lucrative afterlife on videocassette.

Probably the best whimsical movie ever made.
Well,you *did* say he could take from the treasury as much as the strongest man could carry!
snarkus63 he didn’t expect one to literally carry the entire treasury all by himself.
@@Crusader-Ramos45 well, they gave the guy the gold coin.
This movie's has some of the neatest visuals. Like how the sultan's palace is candy-striped.
The original Avengers
And so, as you can see, the Sultan is still after my head!
I had the absolute pleasure of watching this in the movie theater with my father.. many many years later, still a huge fan thank you👍
First 80’s movie I’ve ever seen, and I’m proud it’s the first
Words can't describe how much I love the scene at 0:31, baron and his gang marching victoriously with all the treasure and heading into a new adventure! According to the original novel by Rudolf Raspe baron escaped successfully the Sultan's army with a ship but later on all the treasure was stolen by thieves!
This movie was based upon a book?
@@bravosierra2447 An 18th century book full of tall tales as told by the Baron himself. A lot of elements from those stories makes it into the movie. For a time, so it is said, it was the best selling book in the entire world, second only to the Bible. Pretty crazy how something that popular just completely died out. Gilliam hunted down the book and wanted to revive it after hearing about it.
It's ENCHANTING!!!!
@@dunetiger *Whoa.* That's _colossal_ for how popular it was, but I suppose a lot of things just come and go. Like how Charlie Chan was a long lasting series, of 44 movies from 1931 - 1949 (40 which survive today,) but no one seems to be trying to make it a continuing series again.
@@101Volts I think the deal with Charlie Chan is that it has a history of enforcing (arguably negative) stereotypes despite the intention of painting then-villainized Asian people in a good light. Absolutely the character could be revived in a good way, but I think - like the Baron's stories - the detective mystery in general just isn't marketable these days, at least not in a major way. A TV series might work, but only if you trust modern writers to come up with good cases (and I don't; today's shows are awful). But yeah, we see the same kind of thing happening these days, but on a smaller scale and a much faster pace. There was a time when EVERYONE was talking about GoT and now nobody even cares to remember it fondly. haha
The ultimate period superhero flick. It's like if The Flash, Hawkeye, Hulk and Havok help out an elderly Jacques Duquesne.
god, i loved that movie as a kid!
didn't even understand half of it, but still loved it ^^
The cut here, or rather: the many cuts, from one scenery to the other, from the imaginary Sultan's palace to the real theater, is nothing short of marvelous! An absolute masterclass in shifting realities.
Some of the Baron's memory episodes are based on the Grimm fairy-tale called "How Six Made Their Way In The World", a childhood favourite of mine. Gilliam put a brilliant spin on them all.
Yes, the Baron's friends that appear in this movie were inspired on the characters from that Grimm tale! I didn't know that, but i just looked it up!❤️
All of the Baron's tall tales (riding a cannonball, travelling to the Moon, being swallowed by a giant fish in the Mediterranean Sea, saving himself from drowning by pulling on his own hair, etc) featured in this movie are in Rudolf Erich Raspe's (German writer) novel "Baron Munchausen's Narrative of his Marvellous Travels and Campaigns in Russia", which was published in 1785. This novel was the basis of this Gilliam movie.
I use to watch this movie all the time as a kid. It was so fantastical and Gilliam has such an amazing style. This and Brazil I absolutely loved.
An Excellent set of lungs. I wish I could do that.
I got so fucking engrossed in this I forgot I was just watching a clip, which came as a rather rude disappointment. Quick, to Amazon!
Same here! I probably watched this when I was 6 or something. No idea what was happening in my 6 year old mind it was all random and crazy haha. Dreamt about it too and scared the crap outta me. But I love this movie. It's my childhood. I trully enjoyed this movie. One of the best!
Sultan: What is it?
Servant: Excellency, they’ve taken everything!
Sultan: WHAT?! 😡 *off with the treasurer’s head*
I want to be Baron Munchausen!!
I want to go on fantastic and impossible adventures, I want to sail to the moon, get swallowed up by a giant whale, and save the day with a sword and a smile!!
Thomas B. Munchausen not to mention, taking a fat sultan’s treasure, trolling him!!
Basically a live action version of One Piece...loved this movie as a kid
Yes, actually... 😄 Van augur, tenryuubito and many is come from this movie
Finaly got around to order this great & hillarious movie ^^
Olle Fjällström me too!
Bravo barone
0:58 since when one of Blackbeard's crew was here?
Actually Van Augur is inspired from Adolphus of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
The strong man could be Jesus Burguess, and the Baron itself can also be Doc Q. Also the canon ball travelling and the ship to the moon are also a thing in both stories
The true prequel to X-Men: Acropolis
A legendary film with legendary actors and fantastic practical effects. and a overall touching tale nonetheless
I knew there was a character that did super breath, I spent so long trying to find out the name of this movie and all i could remember was someone had powerful lungs to do super breaths, My search for this movie is over and i can now finally watch it again.
0:42
Super Sonic Van Auger
that guy with super strength too, looks like jesus burgues with devil fruit of force.
Van Augur?
The original Jack Sparrow..
Great example of the Absurd Comedy!
Jean Image's Baron movies are better. I cant believe they combined the blower and the big-eared listener altogether to make one dwarf.
Haha! I don't think that's the case. I mean this movie is pretty messed up. But when you're a kid eveything just seem so interesting i guess. I said that its my childhood because i clearly remember this when I was young. But maybe i was drugged. Haha. Joking.
Manches sollte man NICHT vefilmen, sondern der
Fantasie des Lesers ueberlassen !!
Dieses gehoert dazu !!
Someone’s salty
Being high is a prerequisite for this film
