     ITEM 1.          SECURITY AND ISSUER.



     This statement relates to the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Common Stock"), of GIANT GROUP, LTD., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
the principal executive offices of which are located at 9000 Sunset Boulevard,
16th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90069. This statement is the 17th amendment
to a Schedule 13D initially filed by Burt Sugarman on January 13, 1982. Except
to the extent amended herein, the information as set forth in his Schedule 13D,
as amended, remains in effect.

Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     Item 4 of the Schedule is hereby amended by adding the following:

     Mr. Sugarman decided to serve as Trustee of the Agreement described in Item
6 which is incorporated herein by this reference, to provide for a more orderly
and unified shareholder voting process. Except to the extent indicated above,
Mr. Sugarman presently has no plans or proposals which relate to or would result
in any of the events described in Item 4 (a)-(j) of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         Item 5 of the Schedule is hereby amended to read as follows:

         As of August 10, 1999, Mr. Sugarman beneficially owns 2,988,672 shares
of Common Stock, including 1,189,470 shares which are directly owned, and
1,799,202 shares which are the subject of exercisable options within 60 days
(constituting 52.2% of the outstanding shares computed on the basis of 3,927,148
shares outstanding as of March 7, 1999). Mr. Sugarman has sole voting and
dispositive power with respect to such 2,988,672 shares. Mr. Sugarman is also
the Trustee of the Agreement described in Item 6 and as such, may be deemed to
be the beneficial owner of 721,386 shares of Common Stock subject to the
Agreement. The 721,386 shares held under the Agreement, to which Mr. Sugarman
has only sole voting power as Trustee, are to be voted in accordance with the
terms of the Agreement. Mr. Sugarman is not entitled to receive any of the
economic benefits from the shares subject to the Agreement. Such amounts also do
not include 20,500 shares of the Common Stock owned by Mr. Sugarman's wife. Mr.
Sugarman disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held under the Agreement
and the shares owned by his wife.

         The only transaction in the Common Stock effected by Mr. Sugarman in
the last 60 days was the Agreement described in Item 6 which is incorporated
herein by this reference.

Item 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS
WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         Item 6 of the Schedule is hereby amended by adding the following:

         Effective August 10, 1999 Mr. Sugarman, in his capacity as Chairman of
the Board of the Company entered into a Voting Trust Agreement (the "Agreement")
with the Company and Glenn Sands whereby Mr. Sugarman agreed to act as trustee
(the "Trustee") in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The Agreement
provides for the Trustee to vote 721,386 shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by Glenn Sands. The Trustee's discretion in voting such shares is limited
in that he may only vote such shares (i) for the management slate of nominees in
an election for directors of the Company and (ii) in any other maters, in
accordance with the recommendations of the Company's Board of Directors,
provided that, in the event the Board of


                                        3

<PAGE>   4


Directors makes no recommendation, the Trustee shall vote such shares in the
same manner and in the same proportion as all other shares of Common Stock not
subject to the Agreement.

Item 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

Exhibit 1 -  Voting Trust Agreement as amended, by and among the Company, Burt
             Sugarman, acting in his capacity as Chairman of the Board of the
             Company as Trustee, and Glenn Sands.

         6.       Transfer Restrictions.

                  (a) The Shares or Trust Certificates may not be sold,
assigned, hypothecated, transferred, pledged, encumbered, gifted, attached,
levied, or otherwise disposed of or alienated, voluntarily or involuntarily by
the Holder, except in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

                  (b) The provisions of Section 6(a) hereof shall not apply to
transfers of the Trust Certificates and the corresponding interests in the
Voting Trust, provided that any Holder of Trust Certificates and the
corresponding interests in the Voting Trust shall hold such certificates and
interests subject to this Agreement and further provided such transfers are
limited to the following:

                           (i)  Transfers by operation of law, descent or
                  succession;

                           (ii) Transfers by pledge or hypothecation to a
                  financial institution or broker, provided that the terms of
                  such pledge or hypothecation shall not prohibit the Trustee
                  from exercising his rights pursuant to this Agreement; and

                           (iii) Transfers with the written consent of the
                  Board, which may be granted or withheld by the Board in its
                  sole discretion.

                  (c) The provisions of Section 6(a) hereof shall not apply to
the sale of Shares if the Holder delivers to the Trustee evidence satisfactory
to the Trustee, in his exercise of reasonable judgment, that the Holder has
disposed of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or its


                                        3



<PAGE>   4

then equivalent promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Sold Shares"). Upon receipt of such satisfactory evidence, the Trustee shall
deliver to the Holder or Holder's designee, certificates representing the Sold
Shares, duly endorsed for transfer, in exchange for Trust Certificates
representing the Sold Shares, duly endorsed for transfer. Upon delivery by the
Trustee of the Sold Shares to the Holder or Holder's designee, the Sold Shares
shall no longer be subject to this Agreement.

         7. Dividends. If the Company shall pay or issue dividends or make other
contributions with respect to the Shares, the Trustee shall accept and receive
such dividends and distributions. Any such dividends or distributions will be
distributed immediately to the Holder; provided, however, that if such dividend
or distribution is in shares of Common Stock or other voting securities of the
Company, such shares or other securities shall be held by the Trustee pursuant
to this Agreement and the Trustee shall issue an additional Trust Certificate or
Certificates to the Holder. The Trustee may, if required by applicable law,
require an IRS Form W-9 or other appropriate form from the Holder as a condition
to making any payment or distribution to the Holder without deduction.

         8. Adjustment in Shares. In the event there is an increase in the
number of Shares by reason of a stock split or dividend or a decrease in the
number of Shares because of a contraction of Shares or a change in the number of
outstanding Shares as a result of some other recapitalization in which the
Company receives no consideration for the issuance of the additional or reduced
number of Shares, the new additional or adjusted number of Shares shall be held
by the Trustee and a new Trust Certificate representing the appropriate changed
number of Shares shall be issued to the Holder upon surrender of the then
existing Trust Certificates.

         9. Merger, etc. If the Company shall (i) merge, (ii) consolidate or
(iii) dissolve following the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company, and shares of capital stock or other voting securities of another
corporation are issued in payment or exchange for Shares and if following any
such transaction the stockholders of the Company hold a majority of the voting
power of the surviving corporation or the directors of the Company constitute a
majority of the directors of the surviving corporation, the shares or other
securities of the surviving corporation held by the Holder shall automatically
be and become subject to the terms of this Agreement and be held by the Trustee
hereunder in the same manner and upon the same terms as the Shares, and in such
event the Trustee shall issue to the Holder new Trust Certificates in lieu of
the old Trust Certificates for the appropriate number of shares and other voting
securities of such other corporation.

         10. Successor Trustee. There shall initially be one Trustee, who shall
be Burt Sugarman. Upon the then Trustee ceasing to be the Chairman of the Board
(a "Substitution Event"), the Board shall appoint the then Chairman of the Board
to act as successor Trustee. In the event a successor Trustee shall not have
been appointed within 30 days of the Substitution Event, the Company or Holder
may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a


                                        4

<PAGE>   5

successor, who shall be a member of the Board (other than Sands, or any other
Holder if he or such Holder is at that time a member of the Board).

         11. Acceptance of Trustee; Trustee May Own Shares. The Trustee hereby
accepts the trust created hereby and agrees to carry out the terms and
provisions hereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Trustee from
owning shares of Common Stock, options to purchase shares of Common Stock or
other securities of the Company in his individual capacity or in any capacity
other than as Trustee hereunder.

         12. Expenses. Reasonable expenses lawfully incurred in the
