Random Imdb trivia items:

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.

Time Bandits 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!"

"To show her disgust with the amount of alcohol that John Huston and Humphrey Bogart consumed 
during filming of the African Queen, Katharine Hepburn drank only water. 
As a result, she suffered a severe bout of dysentery."

Trivia from the classic 1995 film "12 Monkeys".
A tagline originally suggested for this film was: "The future is in the hands of a man who has none." 
This was considered to be a confusing tagline, as it made it sound as though he had no hands,
as opposed to having no future.

Original ITV Woman in Black TV movie reviews (which was petrifying to me and my brother as kids on Christmas eve):

Several other reviews mention The Woman's biggest appearance, and I can only repeat the other comments. One of the most frightening, shocking, unexpected, sudden moments that telly has ever produced. I found myself pushing further and further back into my chair, trying to get away from the television screen.

The impact of her totally unexpected third appearance was such that the marks of my fingernails can still be seen in the ceiling! Even now I feel cold down the back of my neck when I think of it.

There is a moment in the movie that was so unexpected and scary that red wine ended up on the walls and ceiling of my home during that first viewing back in Christmas 1989. My father just so much that the wine flew out of his glass and we all screamed together in unison.
