There were also technical glitches with the futuristic mechanical props. Because the film has a nonlinear storyline, continuity errors occurred, and some scenes had to be reshot. Gilliam also injured himself when he went horseback riding. Despite setbacks, the director managed to stay within the budget and was only a week behind his [[shooting schedule]]. "It was a tough shoot", acknowledged [[Jeffrey Beecroft]], the film's [[production designer]]. "There wasn't a lot of money or enough time. Terry is a perfectionist, but he was really adamant about not going over budget. He got crucified for ''[[The Adventures of Baron Munchausen|Munchausen]]'', and that still haunts him."<ref name="nytimes" />
