 Shot by Ian Holm as Napoleon, the poor Puppeteer cut off mid-show is the UK's famous John Styles.

"Time Bandits" is also directed by Terry Gilliam and was written by Gilliam 
and Michael Palin. It features a brief scene that includes a street theatre 
puppet booth. It's been some time since I've seen the movie, but as I recall, 
the 
scene is in the part where the Time Bandits find themselves in the midst of 
the French revolution (Time travel is the premise of the movie.) The puppet 
show is going on in the background and is annoying the character trying to talk 
in the foreground (maybe it was Napoleon?). So the character pulls out his 
firearm and shoots the puppet! It was kind of funny in a Monty Pythonish kind of 

way.
