 In Anne Rices third novel in her Vampire Chronicles, “The Queen of  the Damned”, Daniel (the interviewer from the first novel/film) and  vampire Amadeo see Time Bandits in the cinema together. Amadeo finds  the scene where the Time Bandits sing for Napoleon in the battle  ravaged theatre so funny that he laughs uncontrollably every time he  sees it and goes back repeatedly to rewatch it.
