The ending traumatised me as a kid


Just rewatched Time Bandits - and the ending traumatised me as a kid - still freaks me out a bit, haha (25 yr old).

It was one film ending that always stuck with me.

What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!

Glad someone mentioned this. I really felt much of the film, particularly the ending, was far too violent and disturbing for the children it seems to be aimed at...many children anyway. Any child who found nothing to be disturbed about here is...disturbed.

I just saw it for the first time in 4k. I was quiet shocked by the tone of the ending for a family movie. I thought the parents were going to get brought back.
