Time Bandits

Contains mild violence, threat and language

violence
The strongest example of violence is a fight between King Agamemnon and the Minotaur, during which the Minotaur's chest is hit with a spear tip, producing a small bloody cut. The spear is then hurled into the creature's side. A little more blood is visible but there is no discernible injury detail. In another scene, during the aftermath of a Napoleonic battle, several prisoners are shot by firing squad. However, on this occasion there is neither blood nor injury detail.
threat and horror
There are some scenes of mild threat, including one scene in which the boy and the dwarves are chased by strange creatures with ram skull heads.
language
There are four uses of the word 'bloody', as well as uses of the terms 'damn', 'God' and 'hell'.
additional issues
In one scene some of the dwarves smoke cigars on the deck of the Titanic. However, the film as a whole neither glamorises nor promotes the practice of smoking.
