Time Bandits (1981) Review

Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits owes a little to J R R Tolkein and a lot to Gilliam's own unconvential imagination.

80's Fantasy month :Time Bandits

Welcome to 80's Fantasy month where I shall look at classics of 80's fantasy ,starting with a personal childhood favorite

A young boy named Kevin(Craig Warnock ) is whisked away by the Time Bandits (David Rappaport ,Kenny Baker,Jack Purvis ,Malcolm Dixon ,Mike Edmonds and Tiny Ross ) ,servents of the Supreme Being (Ralph Richardson)who have decided to use a map to various holes in time to get stinking rich ,unfortunately they are being watched by Evil (David Warner )who wants to use the map to take over the universe

This is a film that feels diffrent watching as a kid then as adult .As a kid the creativity and imganitive visuals are what stood out to me ,but as an adult its the cynical humor . I love the tactile look of the world,you feel the grime and dirt ,and I adore the costume design from the Bandits whose costumes are made of bits and bobs from diffrent eras to Evil who has a biomechanical look fitting his obseeion with technology .CErtain visuals have stuck with me since I was a kid like the giant with a ship as a hat ,or the minotaur who I cant tell is just a guy wearing a dead bull head or is a legit minotaur .The cynical humor really stands out to me as an adult from the fact the great figures,mythical and historical tend to not be as great as youd expect them to be ,to God being less this wise beneovlent being and more a grumpy kind of distracted guy ,to the Bandits not really being heroes but just a bunch of guys trying to make a quick buck to the ending which didnt work for me as a kid but works now for me

The film is full of guest stars who do their small parts really well with IAn Holm as a height obsessed Napoleon, John Cleese as a faux friendly Robin Hood ,Michael Palin and Shelley Duvall as starcrossed lovers ,Peter Vaughn as an Ogre with a bad back,Katherine Helmond as his wife (Apparently it was her idea for her to be human while he is an ogre,and that makes it even funnier that they are just so lovey dovey ) ,legendary Shakesperian actor Ralph Richardson appears as the Supreme Being ,and even Sean Connery appears perfectly cast as Kevins pseudo father figure Aggamenon (If I have a complaint with the film I do wish they were able to do the finale as originally intended with him coming to aid Kevin in the final battle but cest la vie )

David Warner is scene stealing as Evil.Warner is perfectly cast being both sinister but really funny as he discusses how understanding digital watches ,Car telephones and VCR's will help rule the universe .He balances the comedy well while still being a classic fantasy bad guy .I love the final battle where he is just easilly taking down every attack thrown at him

Kevin is a solid lead,a kid interested in history who is the voice of reason among chaos.The Bandits themselves are great,all 6 actors are wonderful,though I think the standouts have to be David Rappaport as the egotistical Randall ,Jack Purvis as the tough Wally and Kenny Bakker as the friendkly Fidget

Overall this is a funny and wonderfully creative movie and if you havent seen it give it a watch

The Laken Riley Law erodes the rights of undocumented immigrants. Mandatory detention for an accusation of a crime (not a conviction, just suspicion counts) is an erosion of rights.

And we have now seen the same erosion of rights extended to non citizens with documents and even US citizens. While this extension is illegal, let's remember that it started with a lot of politicians supporting the erosion of rights for undocumented immigrants. AND let's remember that a bunch of Dems voted for the Laken Riley Act, names and details are below.

in case you haven't heard of it, the Laken Riley Law is anti-immigrant and makes everybody less safe. it deprives people of basic rights. The Laken Riley Act was signed by Trump on January 29 2025, as his first piece of legislation. So it is now a Law.

(The Republicans didn't need the Dem votes to pass it, so the Dems who voted for this really wanted to. It's not like they bargained and got something for their vote.)

I couldn't find a list that included both the Dem Senators (12) and the Dem House (46) reps, so I wrote it out below. Senators rep the whole state and each House member reps a Congressional District (CD).

Again, this list is only the Dems because that is who I think might have some sliver of guilt about what is going on right now. And might be persuaded to do better. As opposed to the Republicans who are happy about the destruction of our country.

A few highlights of the issues with the Laken Riley Law: "[it] require the mandatory detention of undocumented immigrants who have been charged with theft in the United States - even without a conviction." (x) It also has impacts on legal immigration, meaning some "with a valid visa could be removed without a chance to defend themselves." (x)

It was opposed by many groups, including the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP), the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

A better Democratic party would have immediately stripped the above Dems of funding and power, and basically kicked them out of the party. This should have been a hard line that no Dem crossed.

Young history buff Kevin can scarcely believe it when six dwarfs emerge from his closet one night. Former employees of the Supreme Being, they’ve purloined a map charting all of the holes in the fabric of time and are using it to steal treasures from different historical eras. Taking Kevin with them, they variously drop in on Napoleon, Robin Hood and King Agamemnon before the Supreme Being catches up with them. Credits: TheMovieDb.

‘Time Bandits’ – Terry Gilliam’s fractured fairy tale on HBO Max and Criterion Channel

Time Bandits (1981) is a fractured fairy tale from the cracked imagination of Terry Gilliam, who wrote the warped adventure with fellow Monty Python alum Michael Palin. It’s a strange and weird and wonderful mix of boy’s own adventure, Python-esque humor, and grim irony, all wrapped in tall tales, ancient myths, and historical figures. British schoolboy Kevin (Craig Warnock) is pulled through a…

Time Bandits

Written by Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin Directed by Terry Gilliam

As I wrote back in April, for most of my life I’ve been intrigued by stories involving Time Travel. And I believe that I can trace this interest to two events from my childhood, one was the TV series VOYAGERS! and the other was this film, Time Bandits. I don’t know which came first for me. Time Bandits was originally released in…
