Huh, the actress playing the dream girl is the hero’s wife in Manhunter. She’s not really that great in that movie either, though.

Reading up some more on this whole thing, I didn’t know that Gilliam hated De Niro too. Apparently De Niro wanted 25-30 takes per scene? What a weird thing to do for such a small role.

I’ve never been crazy for Time Bandits the way most people are.
