[edit] Anonymous edit.. is it correct?

I have removed an edit by someone that has contradicted some of the info in the article. I haven't seen the movie so I don't want to erase it permanently. See here for more info. The information I have removed is:

Horseflesh is not dead, the above information is incorrect; he is actually one of "Evil's" henchmen -you can seem him in the "Fortress of Ultimate Darkness", he's the shortest one in the plastic suit. He is the 7th Dwarf who turned bad, it's just not spelled out in the film.

• If I recall (and its been a while) Horseflesh was formerly the leader of the group; and at one point one of the bandits says to Randall, "well if Horseflesh was here" to which Randall replies, "Horseflesh is dead." I don't know if there is special plot significance to the fact that the actor cast to play Horseflesh appears in the Evil One's castle or if Gilliam wanted to do something since his part had been written out. Only gilliam knows for sure, I guess. Thatcher131 21:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] time bandits the music group

there is no disambiguation for time bandits? they were also a band with a cool song, "I'm specialized in you". came to wiki to find out about them, but i only found this movie.

[edit] Hare Krishna In Joke?

An explanation of this line would be nice:

Hare Krishna viewers: See if you can find Lord Jagannatha's face early in the film. Thanks, no doubt, to George Harrison for that little gem."

[edit] Cast

Do we really need the exhaustive, complete cast list? I'm for leaving it as is in the infobox and deleting the "Cast" subsection. As a compromise, I'd suggest adding the actors who played the bandits themselves to the infobox. PacificBoy 21:13, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Producers

I tried adding in Denis O'Brien and George Harrison as credited producers, but the info-box wouldn't accept them. Maybe the HTML is just set up for a single name?--Shtove 23:37, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

It is, I've put it back to Producer as that's all it will accept. Fortunately it adds "Produced by" to the article covering all eventualities. Mallanox 01:53, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted scenes

Can someone with access to the published screenplay check the veracity of that last addition to the deleted scenes section? It was added by an anonymous user on 11 September (long after the rest of that section was created), and I would like to see that double-checked. Thanks. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 18:17, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Craig Warnock

I removed the following sentence from the opening:

Craig Warnock later went on to play keyboards in These Animal Men in the late 1990's, appearing on their final album Accident and Emergency.

This would certainly be appropriate for an article about Craig Warnock (I'm not certain that one exists at this point), and might even be said to be appropriate in this article in a section about the cast, but it is certainly not appropriate in the opening section which should contain only an overview of the film. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 17:24, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Time bandits.jpg

Image:Time bandits.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
