    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Fulton and Pepe intended to make a television documentary about the development and pre-production of Terry Gilliam's long-awaited passion project. They had no idea that the story would develop into its own quixotic tragedy. After the project failed, Fulton and Pepe were wary of finishing their film until Gilliam said "someone has to get a film out of this. I guess it's going to be you."
    • Quotes
      • Terry Gilliam: I want to know when we're fucked in advance, not in the middle of a shoot.
    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the credits we see the footage of the giants running menacingly towards the screen (which Gilliam admitted would make a great trailer). Just before it fades to black, the words "COMING SOON" are emblazoned across the screen. At the fadeout, we hear Gilliam's distinctive laugh.
    • Alternate versions
      Although the U.S. home video version has a listed running time of 93 minutes, the version on the tape runs only 89 minutes.
