Directed by: Terry Gilliam

Trivia: Tuttle's comment about needing to fill out a '27B/6' form, just to turn on a kitchen faucet, is a subtle reference to author George Orwell, writer of '1984' (which Brazil is a blatant parody of). While working on his novels, Orwell lived in flat 6 at 27B Canonbury Square.
Trivia: The "smoking man" at the Shangri-La tower who bumps into Sam is the film's director, Terry Gilliam.
Trivia: Robert De Niro insisted on 25 to 30 takes for his character.
Continuity mistake: When Sam first enters Jack Lint's office, Jack is at the sink massaging his scalp. There is blood in the water in the sink. After Sam says "Excuse me!" a couple of times, Jack turns around, revealing that the front of his white jacket is clean. The camera cuts to Sam, who exclaims: "Jack!", whereupon there is a cut back to Jack. The front of his jacket is now torn and bloody.
Harry Tuttle: ...well, that's a pipe of a different color.

Answer: I don't think the time is particularly relevant, except that its exactness is in stark contrast to the temporal and locational vagueness of the next statement which is "...Somewhere in the 20th century".
