In the original script, King Agamemnon was introduced as: "The warrior took off his helmet, revealing someone that looks exactly like Sean Connery, or an actor of equal but cheaper stature." To writer, producer, and director Terry Gilliam's surprise, the script ended up in Connery's hands. He expressed interest in the part, and his agent approached them for the role.

It;s so bad Terry Gilliam didn't even know they were doing it and when he found out and called them up, they didn't want to talk to him (I wonder why).

[@garki1369]

I have seen this movie a few times when I was younger, and never noticed the connection between the parents covering their couches in thick plastic, and the "evil one" covering everything, including his chairs, in thick plastic. Many people, including my great grandma, used to cover their couches in thick plastic in order to preserve them. I think it was her reaction to the great depression, and compulsively trying to make everything last as long as possible for financial reasons. Maybe Gilliam is commenting on the fact that life is short, and that enjoying the simple things, like comfortable furniture, is more valuable than worrying over the state of one's material belongings. I think my great grandma and Gilliam make good points.

[@Dularr]

Also a commentary on the living room/sitting room. The room not to be used, so everything is covered in plastics.

[@jollyrodgers7272]

This was great in the theater. Went to the video store and rented the tape several times after. There are several definitions of a ship vs a boat (depending on era and source), and none of them regard the number of sails --> a ship leans out of a turn and a boat leans into a turn (according to British Royal Navy); a boat can be loaded onto a ship (as cargo); a ship must be at least 100 gross tons of permanently enclosed cargo space; etc., etc. ... Casting Sir Ralph Richardson as The Supreme Being was a touch of class.

[@menotyou8369]

Napoleon had two hands. He wasn't unusually short for the time - that idea is partly the result of a misunderstanding about units and partly British propaganda. The Middle Ages is roughly 500-1500 (the first few hundred years are usually called the Early Middle Ages, because they're early)

[@0okamino]

After the Early Middle Ages, came the Middle Middle Ages, and then the Late Middle Ages, which took a while to arrive, what with being late and all.

[@captmurdock]

Personally, I think of the period from the fall of Rome (450 CE) till just after the Norman conquest of Britain (1066 CE) as the Dark Ages; then from there to the Renaissance and the discovery of the New World (approx. 1500 CE) as the Middle Ages. YMMV.

[@Micah_4D]

The bandits are from the "Beginning". Randall talks about how it took them 7 days to make everything.

[@jimclayson]

Which is canonically incorrect. It took six days. The seventh day was a day off from work.

[@Micah_4D]

@@jimclayson I always assumed the joke was that the Supreme Being took the day off, but not the bandits.

[@Swonder1972]

@@jimclayson Well, "canon" is from the Catholic edit. It has nothing to do with the Hebrew Torah. The 7th period refers to the 7th dimension or the bridge between the spiritual and physical. The period of retraction back into pure spirit but translated as "rest". The creator allowed creation to unfold after initial design by removing origin back into the un-manifested. That is the esoteric truth of the Torah taught by the Kabbalistic Rabbis. The English canonical version is the exoteric cover story for the masses...

[@uncommon_niagara1581]

Russell said "we only had seven days", he didn't say it actually took them seven. They cut corners, finished it in six, took the seventh off: hence all of the holes.

(46:30) 'Subscriber Trunk Dialing' was the machinery by which one could dial a telephone number _anywhere_ in the UK. Before 'STD', you'd have to phone the operator to connect you to someone in a city other than where you lived. The 'trunk' was the telephone wiring between cities which 'STD' make accessible to direct subscriber dialing. Hilariously, 'STD' from the swinging sixties onwards, became the acronym for 'Sexually Transmitted Disease', so the British Post & Telecommunications Office's great innovation and flagship product, was quickly forgotten about out of embarrassment.

You have a knack for reacting to all of my childhood favorites. Thanks! Please react to The Adventures of Baron Munchausen which is also done by Terry Gilliam of Time Bandits and Monty Python. It's an incredibly underrated film starring Robin Williams, Uma Thurman, and Eric Idle that should be a classic but isn't for some reason. It very much feels like a successor to Time Bandits and I learned in chat it's actually the third part of a trilogy that includes Time Bandits. Now you almost have to finish the trilogy by reacting to The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Hope you do because it has next to no reactions to it on YT.

Mycenae is the ancient city, Greece. However as the place is now a ruin the locations were filmed in Morocco and Spain. The old city and the palace were mainly filmed at Ait Benhaddou in Morocco, with some filming at La Alhambra Palace, Granada in Spain.

David Rappaport (1951-1990) who plays Randall, the bandits leader, had a good career in Hollywood. He appeared on three episodes on the TV series L.A.
