I recently watched Time Bandits on HBO and it still holds up. One of the best jokes in the movie is the punching of the poor folks. I just love how Robin Hood pretty much steals the treasure from the bandits right in front of them. The lead bandit reacts wonderfully with a delayed response.
Then, the best part is that goon punches everyone that gets a piece of treasure. Right in the face. Take a look at the goon before he punches each one. Plus, we also have the rule of three here to because we only see three people getting punched. I just love how mean-spirited the scene is.
Note: The Time Bandits don’t even pretend to laugh during the ending of the scene because they realized they’re stolen treasure just got stolen again.
Note II: John Cleese is brilliant as an asshole Robin Hood.
