David Warner plays a great comedy villain, John Cleese plays Robin Hood as a condescending Royal, Ian Holm's Napoleon is inspired and Sean Connery adds his unique presence as Agamemnon.
As Gilliam explains in his DVD commentary, by casting small people as the bandits, led by the delightfully arrogant David Rappaport, he hoodwinks the audience into swallowing their extreme cupidity.
At this stage we are introduced to David Warner's deliciously over-acted 'evil genius'; a Satan obsessed with modern technology (but, ironically, surrounded by decay and incompetence), who plots to entrap the time travellers.

David Rappaport's great as "leader" Randall, and be sure to note Kenny "R2-D2" Baker as Fidgit (that's what I meant by the "prop" crack).

Evil (David Warner) is obsessed with computers and the Supreme Being (Ralph Richardson) turns out to be a rather vague old gent somewhat lacking in boundless love for his creation - it's just a job to him.
The Bandits, led by David Rappaport, are Kenny Baker, Jack Purvis, Malcolm Dixon, Mike Edmonds and Tiny Ross.

 Classic Science Fiction Reviews
Each of the Bandits develops his own personality, with that of Randall, their leader (David Rappaport) being the sharpest.
John Cleese as a smarmy Robin Hood; Katherine Helmond as a kind of evil Blondie to her Dagwoodish ogre husband (Peter Vaughan); Ralph Richardson as a fussy, schoolmasterish God; David Warner's proto-Bill Gates turn as the Evil One—all these characterizations delight.
Culminating in a manner identical to The Wizard of Oz (and after all, what has the aggressive floating head of the Supreme Being been but a kind of Oz Himself?), the film saves its ultimate kick for the end, asserting that independent orphanhood is better than a stultifying family life.

It's a poignant tale of friendship between the Frankenstein monster, Clancy Brown, and an adventurous dwarf, David Rappaport, a la OF MICE AND MEN.
Whenever the scenes between Brown and Rappaport get into high gear, the audience is subjected to more of the unwanted Beals-Sting story.
Its saving grace is Rappaport (previously seen in TIME BANDITS [1981]), who brings in his relationship with Brown the film's only touch of humanity and warmth.
