Time Bandits:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Bandits
Released in 1981, Time Bandits was directed by Terry Gilliam and had fellow Python John Cleese playing Robin Hood(!) in one scene.
Gilliam has referred to Time Bandits as the first in his Trilogy of Imagination followed by Brazil (1985) & The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1989).
Time Bandits has 11 year old Kevin who suddenly time travels along with six dwarves and the adventures they had was quirky and fun to look at and an excellent villain in David Warner playing Evil.
For a time travel movie, it fittingly includes in its cast two actors who would later play time traveller Doctor Who, albeit unofficially with Warner and Jim Broadbent.
In fact in one scene, the Broadbent character transformed into Evil played by Warner. One could easily say that this was like a regeneration!
Time Bandits with what was presented has aspects that also turned up in Doctor Who apart from the time travelling and that includes:
- Robin Hood and he already had a cameo in the Doctor Who spin-off K9 episode The Last Oak Tree and is said to turn up in upcoming Doctor Who episode Robots of Sherwood.
- The appearance of King Agamemnon and in Doctor Who he turned up in The Myth Makers
- The appearance of a minotaur and minotaurs have turned up in a few Doctor Who stories in The Mind Robber, The Time Monster, The Creature from the Pit, The Horns of Nimon, Caerdroia & The God Complex.
- While Time Bandits have depicted the ill-fated Titanic, the ship’s spaceship namesake in Doctor Who in Voyage of the Damned.
