Advantages: Gritty storytelling Disadvantages: Possibly excessive sexual violence
girl by her 30 something husband, to the forced sexual violation by a line of men and scenes of extreme humiliation in front of a whole village and scenes of violence when our ?heroine? exacts her brutal revenge with her gang of bandits on those she felt wronged her. I was shocked into silence when watching this on DVD and my husband who had previously seen this film told me of some of the things that took place in India when the film was first made and released in 1994. The film is FULL of extremely foul language and I MEAN extremely foul - I found myself cringeing often at the swearing and from the first scenes in the film when we see Phoolan bathing in the river when she?s told her husband to be has arrived; we hear the most shocking expletives which would make the average grown up cringe! I have to say this is THE most shocking Hindi ...

Advantages: Sit back take a nostalgic journey back to the 80's -remeber your old bmx (if you had one) Disadvantages: very dated ,and some people may not be able to take it as it is ....
Baby faced Nicole Kidman was just 17 years old when she played the role of JUDY in BMX Bandits.
BMX Bandits was released in 1983 and seeing as I was a child of the 80's Bmx's were a part of my very own childhood as was probably true for most kids growing up in the 80's.
So the main reason for me buying this movie ,now, 26 years on from its release, was to take myself back to my childhood and then see if it was as good as I could remember!
There was something new for me personally first off, because, I actually got to see the opening credits for the first time ever! when I watched the DVD . I mention this because, way back when, in the 80's or early 90's my brother videoed BMX BANDITS off the telly,and he managed to miss the opening credits !
So the opening credits show bmx ers PJ and Goose riding around in all the BMX ...
The Time Bandits.

~Introduction~
Please don't laugh but this was the first 'Video' I ever saw and so holds a special fondness for me.
The movie actually comes from a script originally co written by Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam.
Terry Gilliam was to follow this film up with equally whimsical fantasies such as Brazil and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
~Synopsis~
Kevin is a bored young lad with overbearing parents until one night a group of thieving dwarves magically appear in his bedroom. They have stolen a map which shows all the holes in time, the creation of everything being a rush job, left gap that one could sneak through. Oh and they are being pursued by 'The Supreme Being'.
The dwarves, now accompanied by Kevin, go on a riotous adventure through time stealing as much as they can carry ...
