Two bits of Imdb Time Bandits Trivia: While filming the sequence in Sherwood Forest, in which the Time Bandits inadvertently crash into Vincent and Pansy's carriage, Terry Gilliam had scaffolding built for the actors to jump off. When directing the scene, Gilliam instructed them to jump in such a way as to land around Michael Palin and Shelley Duvall without actually falling on them. To better illustrate what he meant, Gilliam climbed to the top of the scaffolding and jumped off, landing directly on top of Duvall. and Executive producer Denis O'Brien was against the ending of Kevin's parents blowing up, and director Terry Gilliam had to fight to keep it in the movie. O'Brien was only convinced that the violent ending could stay, after an advance screening of the movie was held for an audience full of children. The first child who was asked what his favorite moment of the movie was, excitedly proclaimed, "The parents being blown up!"
