TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

This was Uma Thurman's first acting job, although because of the inordinate production delays for this movie, was not her debut. She also belongs to the very short list of actors who were hired on their very first audition.

Forms an informal trilogy with director Terry Gilliam's previous films, Time Bandits (1981) and Brazil (1985). The three movies represent the three stages of Man (youth, middle age, and elderly) and the impact of imagination on each. Jack Purvis and Winston Dennis appear in all three films. Of the three, this is the only one is which Dennis has speaking lines and his face is seen.

Robin Williams was a last-minute casting after the budget had run out, and performed his role uncredited and unpaid.

A moon city set was to have been built at Pinewood. However, since there was no money left to do this, Terry Gilliam took the sketches of the designs, and stuck them to a board. The 2D buildings were then moved forwards/backwards and left/right. The result is bizarre and effective.

John Neville was not a film actor at the time, preferring the theater. However, he was also a big Monty Python fan so he readily agreed to take the lead.

Popular Dialogues

"Sultan: Have you any famous last words? Baron Munchausen: Not yet. Sultan: "Not yet"? Is that famous?"

"Baron Munchausen: Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash and I'm delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever."
