The Blackadder Says:
My favorite part of Time Bandits is when the Evil character is going on and on about how he is all-powerful, the real creator of the universe, etc., when one of his lackeys says something like "if you're all-powerful, why are you trapped in this place?" (which looks like a Time Bandits version of Hell). Evil instantly vaporizes the guy, then after a pause says "That's a good question."
I love that film; my favorite Gilliam movie. And I am totally with you about that line.
