Time Bandits/YMMV


  • Crowning Music of Awesome: The opening and closing theme, as well as George Harrison's song "Dream Away" during the end credits. (Harrison produced the film.)
  • Esoteric Happy Ending: Judging by the very negative portrayal of consumerism and mundane thinking that Kevin's parents represent, the filmmakers might see their total destruction to be a good thing for Kevin in the long run.
  • Genius Bonus: The unspoken tension between Agamemnon and his wife foreshadows the end of their relationship and his kingship.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Evil's army. As if a hoard of screeching, 8 ft. tall creatures with hook hands and cow skull heads weren't scary enough, they can also shoot missiles out of their eyes.
  • Unfortunate Implications: The Time Bandits were written as little people so that audiences would accept a child as their equal. Thus, the filmmakers were planning on audiences seeing little people as less than full adults.
