* AndIMustScream: Literally. To impress the princess, Simon brings a stone bird-thing statue to life. It doesn't seem to have legs or working wings: all it ''can'' do is scream miserably. Making it worse, Simon is called away and leaves the thing crying. The princess unsympathetically tells it to shut up.

Now Roger had done a lot of sword-and-sorcery films, and so he told a couple of the editors to pull all they could from them and edit that footage in. So now the finished movie has a 15 or 20-minute prologue that has nothing to do with rest of the film!"''
