FROM THE DEAD FILM ARCHIVE: TIME BANDITS II:
This inspired but ill-starred film, the follow-up to quirky wunderkind director Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits, met with production difficulties and never achieved completion. Here you can see the set staged for a reprisal of the awesome giant-with-boat-hat scene from the first film, wherein the frisky midgets were meant to conquer a whole new set of pernicious uglies. Featuring an airplane instead of a boat, and Tony Danza as an Ogre King, the airplane proved too unwieldy for the prop crane, and was left adrift in the Pacific for months. So it goes, brave filmlovers. So it goes.
