Time Bandits: Punching the Poor

  

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.
