Über dieses Produkt

Product Information

Plunging headfirst into history, director Terry Gilliam fearlessly brings the logic of children's fairy tales to bear as he navigates through myth and legend in a bizarre, ingenious retelling of THE WIZARD OF OZ. A boy and six good-natured little persons careen through time-twisting interactions with Napoleon, Robin Hood, and Agamemnon, among others, with a map the little people stole from their employer, the Supreme Being. But their intention is to rob their way through the past, which does not make their boss happy. Meanwhile, Evil is after the map in order to become the Supreme Being himself. The result is an extraordinarily visual extravaganza that overflows with Gilliam's ecstatic vision. The film is shot from a child's viewpoint, both through the character of Kevin and the placement of the camera. One of the morals of this thoroughly enjoyable, charming fantasy is that heroes aren't always all they're cracked up to be. Fun special effects and great supporting performances abound, including terrific turns by Ian Holm, John Cleese, Ralph Richardson, and especially David Warner as Evil.

  • Once again, I would seem to differ with the majority on this one.

    I am surprised whenever I am reminded that this has been Terry Gilliam's best-selling, and most highly praised movie, up to the present day. Simply because I have to disagree. (As I implied in the title, my tastes often differ from the mainstream's.) It is a Terry Gilliam movie, yes, so it is better than most other movies. It is well-directed, and has a great story. Stuff we can expect from Gilliam. But in my opinion it moves "slower" than his other films, and is one of my least favorite, if not my very least favorite, of all of his films. Is it worth watching? Of course. But re-watching? I must say I've seen it 3 or 4 times, and tend to forget most of the action after a while. It is not, in my opinion, as memorable as his other films. My own Terry Gilliam favorites: 12 MONKEYS, ZERO THEOREM, and THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS. I tend to prefer his more recent works. But even the much-maligned ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN I have found to be more entertaining and compelling than this one. Maybe my opinion will change over time, but somehow I think not. (I WILL say this for TIME BANDITS: As a Christian, I appreciate the fair representation of God / The Supreme Being, in this film, especially as revealed in its great ending.)

  • Great Film For a Few Laughs

    Basically the Monty Python version of The Wizard of Oz. Entertaining, good for a few laughs. Although there's History included it's not historially accurate. The little people actors do an excellent job and the appearance of Sir Ralph Richardson at the end make it worthwhile to watch.

  • Great movie and saved money with an excellent quality used DVD.

    I last watched the movie about 15-20 years ago and enjoyed it very much. Since I never see it on TV and it's not available on YouTube, I decided to buy it. Buying an excellent quality used DVD made more sense than buying a new one. I still enjoyed the movie, maybe not as much as before since I'm older (70) with different comedic tastes, but I'm still glad I purchased it. I also enjoyed saving about $10 on the purchase.

  • Fun Flick

    Always has been an interesting, oddball flick. The story is easy to follow and holds the attention. Many of the interactions within the various timelines are funny, as it the reveal at the end. The shopping, ordering and early delivery made for an excellent shopping experience.

  • Strange and funny fantasy movie. Return what you have stolen from me.

    This movie is really strange. About some dwarf time travelers with the map. and the overseer the supreme being is trying to recover the map. and a gostface spirit wants the map as well. Let me say this movie again is strange. Something like one of a kind. Entertaining and funny.

  • A fun fantasy movie

    A fun Fantasy movie that makes you think about why, and how come? I like the part the young boy plays. Hes the only one that gets it. An UN-jaded character. The heart of the child.

  • A timeless classic.

    I first saw this movie when it was in theaters, back in 1981. 36 years later I needed to find and purchase it on DVD. A highly entertaining, if not, slightly dark movie, that will move you, one way, or the other. Sean Connery , John Cleese and Shelley Duvall are amazing.
