Bruce is excellent in this film, as are all the cast, particularly a suitably bonkers - and very scary - Brad Pitt. Whatever the truth of the rumour above, Gilliam also manages to get a first rate (and very atypical) performance out of the bald one. Style, substance and form seem to merge in a way not usually seen from the ex-Python. I still maintain that Brazil is Gilliam's tour de force, but there's no denying that The Twelve Monkey's is a breath of fresh air in the tight-plotting department. He seems to have so many ideas, and so much enthusiasm, that his films almost invariably end up as a tangled mess (Brazil, in particular). But they do all tend to suffer from the same weakness. I love Gilliam films (Brazil, in particular). It is this journey, and the character developments they undergo, which unsettles. Although the ending of the Twelve Monkeys will surprise no one who has sat through the first real, Gilliam borrows heavily from Kafka in the clockwork, bureaucratic relentless movement of the characters towards their fate. Gilliam delights in wrong-footing his audience.

It is also full of Gilliamesque surrealism and general (but magnificent) strangeness. Visually, the Twelve Monkeys is all that we have rightly come to expect from a Gilliam film. I would contend that these two factors played a huge role in creating the extraordinary (if not commercial) success that is The Twelve Monkeys. Gilliam didn't have a hand in the writing.

There is a fact about this movie (definitely true). It ended with a simple message saying: "please don't do any of the above in my movie". It was entitled "Things Bruce Willis Does When He Acts". Gilliam (allegedly) produced a long list (think about the aircraft one from the Fifth Element) and handed it to Butch Bruce. There is a story (possibly apocryphal) about an exchange between Bruce Willis and Terry Gilliam at the start of Twelve Monkeys. Sorry for the inconvenience, we look forward to resolving this for you soon." Please hold on to your copy and we will follow up with further information as soon as possible. We are continuing to review our workflow processes to prevent these issues from happening in the future. The fault was traced to the initial 4K data when one of the scanned reels contained some overlap in content and this wasn't flagged in the initial conform. This error was not spotted by the producers, the facility that carried out the work or the filmmaker who approved the restoration. "Sadly, we have identified a fault on our 12 Monkeys UHD disc (FCD2191/AV380), where at approximately 41 minutes some footage is briefly repeated with no interruption to the soundtrack.

Arrow admitted the misprint, vowing to correct it (a similar problem was discovered in Arrow's 4K release of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer). This error was spotted by fans, who contacted Arrow Video to point it out. Bruce Willis's character is interrogated and the tracking shots and close-ups of the researchers questioning him are duplicated.
The Arrow release of this film contained a mistake in a scene about 40 minutes in. There are two releases of the film, by different companies, one from Arrow Video (released both in the US and UK) and the US Blu-ray by Universal.
