@@ariachanson01oh, concerning your questions on Death at the end: You should read Reaper Man by Sir Terry Pratchett. (maybe Mort first). You'll love it!
Aria, I'm loving your reactions to Python. You get it. You get the silliness, the stupidity, the absurdist part of their humour, and the genius of their humour. Watching you doubled over with laughter is infectious. You really should check out the Flying Circus in it's entirety. Something tells me you will love it. ❤
"Is it a boy or a girl?" "I think it's a bit early to start imposing roles on it, don't you?" A lot of people don't like this movie. I'm not one of them. Fun Fact: Nikki Diamond is one of the topless running girls. What Script Fact: Sir Michael Palin's "Hey, but I didn't eat the mousse!" line was not in the script. Music Enthusiast Fact: Terry Jones spent most of the budget on the "Every Sperm Is Sacred (1983) sequence. The rest of the team found out later. The kids who sang in the sketch later said they had no idea what they were singing about. The Prologue Fact: "The Crimson Permanent Assurance" segment was filmed as if it were a completely separate project. Terry Gilliam got his own soundstage, crew, and cast. This segment continued to expand because, according to Gilliam, nobody told him to stop. This is honestly my favorite segment of the movie and I love that it does connect to the rest of the movie later on.
Another fact about the sperm song scene. Palin actually said "sock" instead of "cock" so as not to offend the parents of the children in the scene, and then dubbed in the word "cock" afterward.
I'm sitting here eating green beans and chuckling at your subtitles. Thanks for making me laugh. I haven't seen anybody else on RUclips copy that kind of Python gag.
Your look of shock at the tribesman turning out to be a guy in a costume and saying "Welcome to the middle of the film". I couldn't have said it better myself LOL
I really enjoyed this reaction. You really brought a lot of creativity and intelligence to your video. This movie was released in 1983. I'd like to call your attention to a "completely different" film that was released in 1985, called "Brazil." A reaction to Brazil has never come up on my RUclips recommendations. Brazil was written and directed by Terry Gilliam, who was the only American-born member of the Monty Python cast. Gilliam did all the animations for Monty Python, and he wrote and directed the opening sequence for this film. Brazil has a lot of the surrealism that Gilliam brought to his earlier work, but it is much more serious. Technically, it's still a comedy ... romance ... political commentary... but the surrealism sort of breaks the categories so much that you could call it an experimental film as well. Despite a modest budget, Brazil lost money at the box office, but I personally loved it. To this day, it's one of my favorite underrated movies, and I enjoy it more every time I re-watch it. I've talked to several people who absolutely hated it, though. Brazil stars Jonathan Pryce, who has an IMDB page a mile long, although I'm not sure if I can name a role you will recognize. He played Governor Swann in the Pirates of the Carribean series, High Sparrow in HBO's Game of Thrones, Prince Phillip in Netflix's The Crown, and many other roles. Kim Greist, the female lead, has also had a long career, but with only a few major roles, Throw Momma from the Train being her biggest film. Robert DeNiro also has an important supporting role, which was a surprise since he was such a huge star at the time, like he is today.
You got me with the subtitles, Aria! 😂 Well done! 🙂👍😂 There's also another Python movie which is kinda like a compilation of their well known sketches called And Now For Something Completely Different. Highly recommend 🙂 Would love to see you sing the "Every sperm is sacred" song in public just to see if anyone would react to it! 😉😂🤣😜
Your awkwardness during the sex education class was a delight to behold! Having watched the film numerous times I know exactly which lines you have edited out but we can still see your reaction to them with your hands over your face! "What's wrong with a kiss, boy?"
"Run boy run..." 😱 The cut to the rugby match against the masters is so funny. Just a hilarious montage of violence against children 😅 That they transition it immediately to Fighting Each Other is brilliant.
The intro subtitles made me check dodgy captioning was on lol Congrats on getting sunk in British humour : ) If you are a Michael Palin fangirl, he did a number of travel seasons for the BBC which were pretty good. Was years after the Python scene. "Around the World in 80 Days" and "Pole to Pole" were quite interesting as I remember. Not seen them in decades : ) Not sure they are reaction worthy, but you'll probably like 'em with hours of Palin stuff.
The way that you utilized jokes from Holy Grail into "The Life of Brian" and this video is phenomenal. Big kudos on that one! Oh, and if you want another view of how heaven could be... maybe consider watching "This is the End" 😁
Loved it! Please watch "Jabberwocky": “Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!” directed by Terry Gilliam with Michael Palin as lead character.
The opening subtitle gag was great. As good as many of the skits are, The Crimson Permanent Assurance is one of my favorites. And the salmon mousse bit.
i cant believe it. someone finally reacted to this movie. after holy grail, this is my second favorite monty python movie. and yes. as you now new. this one is also INSANE
After completing the Monty Python entries, you should dig into Terry Gilliam's filmography. Time Bandits, Brazil, Baron Munchausen, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, 12 Monkeys... his whole catalog is freaking brilliant!
Absolutely loved the subtitles Aria!! I had forgotten a lot of this film (other than The Crimson Assurance segment) so it was so much fun rewatching it with you. If you want an obscure Monty Pythonesque movie that is stupidly funny try The High Crusade (1994) with John Rys Davies (Sallah in Raiders of the Lost Ark).
Just wanna tell you a bit. I love you're reactions, they make me smile. Every time I wanna comment I feel a bit wierd of what people will think. Feel a bit shy how honest I can be? Anyway keep up the smile, will you? Pls smile more, it's contagious
Back in the 1980s this was the funniest movie ever for me, and I watched it over and over again. It gets a lot of different reactions from different people, some people absolutely hating it, so I'm glad you liked it. My favorite scene was Mr. Creosote, but I can understand why you found it difficult to watch. I think you will come to enjoy it more on repeated watchings. The scene in the middle with the business meeting was wear they really started to discuss the meaning of life, with the caveat that we are often distracted by other things. They were first distracted by the statement that people need to wear more hats, but then came back to the meaning of life, but then they were distracted again by the attacking building. Ah, yes... war and conflict often distract us from more loftier thoughts. I enjoyed your discussion afterwards very much. You went into it more than other reviewers have.
NO ONE reacts to this Monty Python film, and I think it is WAY MORE funny than "Life of Brian" so kudos there plus the joke with subtitles at the beginning referencing "Holy Grail" was freaking brilliant!...😂😅😊 I get why you would like this film as it is more like the show as it is a series of seperate skits connected by a common theme unlike the previous films I referenced have a coherent plot structure.
Firstly, dear Aria, I have to say I love your subtitle idea. You've caught the Python spirit perfectly. Now you've seen three of the five movies. The first one, And Now For Something Completely Different, is a reworking of a number of the sketches from the TV show, though done with a higher budget. The other you've not seen is Live At The Hollywood Bowl - basically a live stage show of them performing some of their most famous skits. Of the three you've seen now, I've caught them all on opening night in the theatre and have different views on each. The Holy Grail is the funniest. Life Of Brian is the most cohesive story. Meaning Of Life is the best in the way of film technique and the highest budget. Unfortunately, Meaning Of Life is also the weirdest and didn't do all that well at the box office.
This may not be the funniest or smartest Python film, but it is definitely my favorite of the films becauae it's basically a feature length episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Those guys were the best ❤
there is a great movie called time bandits, not by monty python, but (correct me if im wrong) at least directed, maybe written by Terry Gilliam, and starring Cleese and Palin in small roles
That restaurant scene with the exploding guy and the liver being taken scared the absolute crap out of me when I first watched this as a kid 🤣 still loved the movie though 😄
I loved this reaction from the subtitles to the announcement of a review of Life of Brian. And to give something back, I have to recommend a few movies, that often fly under the radar for the admirers of Monty Python. 1. "Clockwise" (1986). "It's not the despair, Laura! I can stand the despair! It's the hope!" - you miss out something, if you haven't seen the chaos climax of this epic road movie with John Cleese as a headmaster of an English public school. So good. Unfortunately often flying under the radar, as far as recommendations go. 2. "Yellowbeard" with John Cleese, Eric Idle and Graham Chapman (as well as guest appearances of other widely known comedy heroes, like Cheech&Chong). First, it is a pirate movie. And pirate movies are good. Second, it does entertain and is very funny. All stereotypes in pirate movies included. I am sure you like it very much. Great movie, also often flying under the radar. 3. "Brazil". Terry Gilliam is a genius. He made many respected movies after his work in the Monty Python group. But this movie is probably THE saddest dark dystopian comedy you might ever watch. Seriously - it is funny, but also VERY dystopian. Like "1984" if it was written by the Monty Pythons. Enough said. Watch, please! Have a great weekend. And don't get sacked. You know why... the Llamas are jealous of the moose story. And camels??? I mean: WTF! Best regarrds. 🙂
I recommend checking out some of Terry Gilliam's movies next, especially Brazil (1985). As the only American member of Monty Python he didn't have many speaking roles in sketches, but he did all the animations and some of the directing for Python.
"What's wrong with a kiss boy?" ... My thoughts exactly. This film covers all the sins in life. Particularly with greed. This movie has improved with age. The Galaxy Song and Every Sperm is Scared are simply brilliant.
ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF RUclips!!! 👸🏻 👸🏻 👸🏻 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You got us again, Aria. Omg, thank you for the subtitles. If you don’t wind up reacting to individual episodes of Flying Circus, their fourth movie And Now For Something Completely Different is a compilation of movie versions of sketches from Flying Circus. It’s great. Thank you, Aria. Merci, chère.
Mikael Palin is my favorite Monty Python comedian too. His facial features in so many of his characters has made me laugh the hardest. I suppose if heaven gets too boring we just come back here onto earth to remember what hell is like again.
I'm so glad to see you going through all the monty python stuff! I dont' remember this one as well as Holy Grail and Life of Bryan but I will relive it with and through you! You're looking cute and I hope you are doing great!
This was the Pythons showing that they had got to the point where they could do whatever they liked and get away with it. After the success of "Brian" despite so many attempts to get it banned they could put in any disgusting and contraversial ideas that they could come up with. Their process was, "if it's funny, put it in."
You got me with the subtitles. The opening minimovie won over Cannes for the group. This is still my favorite that they made, I even bought the music CD back in the day. They blew a large portion of the budget on the Every Sperm is Sacred music number.
You'll find that if you watch their TV show, that this movie is much more similiar to their TV show. Also, you most likely will not realize this as it was before your time but, the guy who jumps out the window at the end of the Crimson Pernament Assurance sketch was a very young Matt Frewer. After this movie, he became a early 80's icon with "The Max Headroom Show".
Watching this one makes me realize how often my brother and I quote this movie. "THE SALMON MOUSSE!" "What do you mean, lock the door?" "It's too good a cake, not to eat" and on and on.
The insurance company pirates scene serves well as an introduction to Gilliamverse movies and their unique style, starting with Time Bandits (although it was two years earlier, 1981).
Fun Fact: Terry Gilliam worked on the Crimson Permanent Assurance without the other Pythons knowing. Terry Jones stumbled onto the set one day, and was amazed at how Gilliam's set was the largest. It was then Gilliam told Jones about his idea of having the short film try to take over the movie. Two of their TV show sketches I recommend are Cheese Shop, and Spam.
Awesome! Everyone does The Holy Grail and Life Of Brian (which I always watch, because they're both brilliant) but I don't know if I've seen anyone react to this Classic. 👍 Cheers and Happy Weekend from Canada. 🥃☮❤ And of course..."Morniiing". 😁🐟
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition ... and little can prepare one for that projectile vomiting scene. I love the effort you put into the pitch-perfect intro and the reaction/review overall was excellent. It's good you watched this after their other films, because you came somewhat prepared. It's such a shame they didn't make another film after this one.
I snuck into the theater with a buddy to see this when it was new because we weren't yet seventeen. We laughed so hard during the Creosote scene we nearly puked as well. The Crimson Permanent Assurance echoes Time Bandits, the film directed by Terry Gilliam prior to The Meaning of Life. Time Bandits has been adapted to a television series that is currently showing. I haven't watched that, but the film from back when is a lot of fun, starring John Cleese, Sean Connery, Shelley Duvall.
Aria, you have embraced the spirit of Monty P beautifully with those subtitles. The Crimson Permanent Assurance Company was Terry Gilliam's first outing as a Director, but even here you can see the talent. Now, would you like a wafer-thin mint?
My father took me to the Circus when I was eight years old and a clown killed him. (Nice subtitles. You should get an "Official Pythoner" badge for doing those.)
Aaah...Mr Creosote. Beautiful. This film was more like Flying Circus (which they showed the intro of on the TV at the end) but they sort of tied the skits together as a philosophy of Life.
You noticed that the disjointed structure of this film is kind of like their "Flying Circus" TV program. That's what I always tell people when they're considering watching this film.
3:47 "It's a ship, not a plane" - yes, and it's sailing on... a fantasy! (No, I will not apologize for that pun) P.S. explanation: fantasy sounds a bit like fanta-sea. Please, dear whoever reads this, don't be offended, I've had people miss my silly little joke.
6:17 The frustrated jumper is Matt Frewer. He played a wild character in the 1980s; Max Headroom. Maybe you will react to Max some time. Terry Gilliam is the only American member of Monty Python. He did all of the cut-out animations. He directed the Crimson Permanent Assurance short. He later directed some great films: Time Bandits, Brazil, 12 Monkeys, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
"it's only wafer thin". yeah, and the straw that broke the camel's back was just a piece of hay (sorry to bring up camels, i know they're a touchy subject for you).
>> The comedy troupe's last film together offers the blackest British humor in the usual episodic form - and with no regard for the boundaries of good taste. The viewer suffers physical pain at the sight of a fat restaurant guest's binge, and the organ harvesting in the home of a still-living donor demands stamina.
As I am sure you know they started out as a troop of comedians performing short sketches on their own show on the BBC. The did another film, which was then on stage performing their most famous sketches. It is on RUclips and is named Monty Python - Live at the Hollywood Bowl. Many of the team were involved in other films, such as Jabberwocky, which I think you would love and also Baron Munchausen and even the original Time Bandits and even the movie Brazil.
You can REALLY see the influence of Terry Gilliam's visual designs in this Monty Python film. Aria, I highly suggest another Python-like movie... "Brazil" Director's Cut. It's one of Terry Gilliam's finest films. It's largely a dystopian dark comedy mixed with science fiction and fantasy that was heavily influenced by George Orwell's iconic novel, "1984."
@@Urizen777 And it shows. Frankly, the intro was the best, most creative part of the movie, aside from the musical numbers. The rest, I feel, was lesser Python and they were definitely pushing a point with the vomit and blood and guts.
@@dan_hitchman007 Yeah, I never understood Cleese's problem with it. Especially since intro scene and the later one that return to it perfectly rounded out the movie, but Gilliam always said that Cleese rarely got his animations and was not a very "visual person" in that sense. In case you think I am pulling this from my ass (this is the internet after all :)), I got this info mostly from a very interesting book I would recommend to any Python fan - "Monty Python Speaks", by David Morgan. And yeah, the movie itself was not the Python at their best. Nevertheless, I like and appreciate this film for what it is.
A quick way to see many of the best sketches from the TV series is to watch the movie "And Now For Something Completely Different" which is a collection of sketches redone for the big screen.
😄👍 This was the first of three major motion pictures of the 1980s to contain an extended vomit scene, the other two being "Stand By Me" (1986) and "The Witches Of Eastwick" (1987). 🤮 If you're that enamored of Michael Palin, then I can't wait to see your reaction to his scene in the movie "Time Bandits" (1981). 😉👍
Yellow Beard is a pirate movie that predates Pirates of the Caribbean. Some of the Monty Phythons' cast, Cheech and Chong plus Marty Feldman in his last movie appearance.
The Crimson Permanent Assurance is always in my top five Terry Gilliam movies. Apparently he used most of the budget for the film because "nobody told me to stop." And it has Canadian actor Matt Frewer in a central role, so great film! And yes, the ending is perfect--and perfectly Gilliam.
Madame, you have murdered me with the subtitles... Holy hell! 😂
Mission accomplished😁

If you don’t wind up reacting to individual episodes of Flying Circus, their fourth movie And Now For Something Completely Different is a compilation of movie versions of sketches from Flying Circus. It’s great. Thank you, Aria. Merci, chère.
thankyou ♥♥♥
Mikael Palin is my favorite Monty Python comedian too. His facial features in so many of his characters has made me laugh the hardest. I suppose if heaven gets too boring we just come back here onto earth to remember what hell is like again.
I'm so glad to see you going through all the monty python stuff! I dont' remember this one as well as Holy Grail and Life of Bryan but I will relive it with and through you! You're looking cute and I hope you are doing great!
i was laughing to death back in the day, especially by the "throw up"-scene 🤣 never saw those nonsense before
Brilliant subtitles! Happy your mom survived the camel. Way to go as always! LOL! Really enjoyed watching the movie with you.
This was the Pythons showing that they had got to the point where they could do whatever they liked and get away with it. After the success of "Brian" despite so many attempts to get it banned they could put in any disgusting and contraversial ideas that they could come up with. Their process was, "if it's funny, put it in."
"Waiter? This conversation isn't very good..."
You got me with the subtitles. The opening minimovie won over Cannes for the group. This is still my favorite that they made, I even bought the music CD back in the day. They blew a large portion of the budget on the Every Sperm is Sacred music number.
You'll find that if you watch their TV show, that this movie is much more similiar to their TV show. Also, you most likely will not realize this as it was before your time but, the guy who jumps out the window at the end of the Crimson Pernament Assurance sketch was a very young Matt Frewer. After this movie, he became a early 80's icon with "The Max Headroom Show".
Watching this one makes me realize how often my brother and I quote this movie. "THE SALMON MOUSSE!" "What do you mean, lock the door?" "It's too good a cake, not to eat" and on and on.
The insurance company pirates scene serves well as an introduction to Gilliamverse movies and their unique style, starting with Time Bandits (although it was two years earlier, 1981).
Fun Fact: Terry Gilliam worked on the Crimson Permanent Assurance without the other Pythons knowing. Terry Jones stumbled onto the set one day, and was amazed at how Gilliam's set was the largest. It was then Gilliam told Jones about his idea of having the short film try to take over the movie.
Two of their TV show sketches I recommend are Cheese Shop, and Spam.
Awesome! Everyone does The Holy Grail and Life Of Brian (which I always watch, because they're both brilliant) but I don't know if I've seen anyone react to this Classic. 👍
Cheers and Happy Weekend from Canada. 🥃☮❤
And of course..."Morniiing". 😁🐟
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition ... and little can prepare one for that projectile vomiting scene. I love the effort you put into the pitch-perfect intro and the reaction/review overall was excellent. It's good you watched this after their other films, because you came somewhat prepared. It's such a shame they didn't make another film after this one.
It is so fun watching Aria laugh!
now you are ready. it was especially funny to see you flinch when mr creosote exploded
Thank you Aria, wonderful sharp reaction!😊
Thank you for the subtitles. You are an angel.
Just randomly stopping by to say you have a lovely laugh!
The Galaxy Song, which was released as a single in 1983 (the B-side was "Every Sperm is Sacred.") actually made into the Pop 100!
I snuck into the theater with a buddy to see this when it was new because we weren't yet seventeen. We laughed so hard during the Creosote scene we nearly puked as well. The Crimson Permanent Assurance echoes Time Bandits, the film directed by Terry Gilliam prior to The Meaning of Life. Time Bandits has been adapted to a television series that is currently showing. I haven't watched that, but the film from back when is a lot of fun, starring John Cleese, Sean Connery, Shelley Duvall.
Aria, you have embraced the spirit of Monty P beautifully with those subtitles.
The Crimson Permanent Assurance Company was Terry Gilliam's first outing as a Director, but even here you can see the talent.
Now, would you like a wafer-thin mint?
Ahaha, love these subs
Your face was a picture during the “Sacred” musical number 😂😂😂
My father took me to the Circus when I was eight years old and a clown killed him. (Nice subtitles. You should get an "Official Pythoner" badge for doing those.)
I agree with all the comments below applauding your subtitles. Well done!
Aria if you do bet not to laugh you lose 100% greetings from the Netherlands
I laugh for no reason if someone tells me not to laugh
So I would never try to hold back on anything monty python😄
Fantastic subtitles Aria.
You got us there with the subtitles 😂
Great Reaction and at 13:09 wait until you hear the Spam song
*And the clown got bit by the MOOSE!*
My favorite scene in the movie. 😀
Aaah...Mr Creosote. Beautiful. This film was more like Flying Circus (which they showed the intro of on the TV at the end) but they sort of tied the skits together as a philosophy of Life.
Usually I decide at the end of a video wether I give a thumbs up or not. But you deserved the Like early on just by the subtitles reference.
You noticed that the disjointed structure of this film is kind of like their "Flying Circus" TV program. That's what I always tell people when they're considering watching this film.
3:47 "It's a ship, not a plane" - yes, and it's sailing on... a fantasy!
(No, I will not apologize for that pun)
P.S. explanation: fantasy sounds a bit like fanta-sea.
Please, dear whoever reads this, don't be offended, I've had people miss my silly little joke.
".... take a ride in the sky.... on a ship Fantasi....."
Earth Wind and Fire
6:17 The frustrated jumper is Matt Frewer. He played a wild character in the 1980s; Max Headroom. Maybe you will react to Max some time.
Terry Gilliam is the only American member of Monty Python. He did all of the cut-out animations. He directed the Crimson Permanent Assurance short. He later directed some great films: Time Bandits, Brazil, 12 Monkeys, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
..."& Bring the Machine that goes Ping!"...😂🎉
"Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl" is a remarkable live performance of their greatest hits. You will love it!.
Aria C: Queen of Subtitles! (Well . . . all around Queen, actually)
😅
"it's only wafer thin". yeah, and the straw that broke the camel's back was just a piece of hay (sorry to bring up camels, i know they're a touchy subject for you).
please refrain from talking about camels
thankyou
Ixnay on the amelcay!
>> The comedy troupe's last film together offers the blackest British humor in the usual episodic form - and with no regard for the boundaries of good taste.
The viewer suffers physical pain at the sight of a fat restaurant guest's binge, and the organ harvesting in the home of a still-living donor demands stamina.
Ah, another reaction for ms Aria, and perhaps... a like.
As I am sure you know they started out as a troop of comedians performing short sketches on their own show on the BBC. The did another film, which was then on stage performing their most famous sketches. It is on RUclips and is named Monty Python - Live at the Hollywood Bowl. Many of the team were involved in other films, such as Jabberwocky, which I think you would love and also Baron Munchausen and even the original Time Bandits and even the movie Brazil.
If you're wondering, Eric Idle wrote most of the music.
You can REALLY see the influence of Terry Gilliam's visual designs in this Monty Python film. Aria, I highly suggest another Python-like movie... "Brazil" Director's Cut. It's one of Terry Gilliam's finest films. It's largely a dystopian dark comedy mixed with science fiction and fantasy that was heavily influenced by George Orwell's iconic novel, "1984."
John Cleese was pretty pissed when he saw that Gilliam spent a big part of the film budget for this intro.
@@Urizen777 And it shows. Frankly, the intro was the best, most creative part of the movie, aside from the musical numbers. The rest, I feel, was lesser Python and they were definitely pushing a point with the vomit and blood and guts.
His best movie, in my opinion, and one of the top 10 of all time best movies in my list.
@@dan_hitchman007 Yeah, I never understood Cleese's problem with it. Especially since intro scene and the later one that return to it perfectly rounded out the movie, but Gilliam always said that Cleese rarely got his animations and was not a very "visual person" in that sense.
In case you think I am pulling this from my ass (this is the internet after all :)), I got this info mostly from a very interesting book I would recommend to any Python fan - "Monty Python Speaks", by David Morgan.
And yeah, the movie itself was not the Python at their best. Nevertheless, I like and appreciate this film for what it is.
A quick way to see many of the best sketches from the TV series is to watch the movie "And Now For Something Completely Different" which is a collection of sketches redone for the big screen.
😄👍 This was the first of three major motion pictures of the 1980s to contain an extended vomit scene, the other two being "Stand By Me" (1986) and "The Witches Of Eastwick" (1987). 🤮 If you're that enamored of Michael Palin, then I can't wait to see your reaction to his scene in the movie "Time Bandits" (1981). 😉👍
18:39 The Duke of Welllington is supposed to have said that "the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton"
Your intro.... Lmao!! 🤣🤣
YOU got me th subtitltes bit genius. i had to check the video to see if it was youtube as in the film.
Yellow Beard is a pirate movie that predates Pirates of the Caribbean. Some of the Monty Phythons' cast, Cheech and Chong plus Marty Feldman in his last movie appearance.
The Crimson Permanent Assurance is always in my top five Terry Gilliam movies. Apparently he used most of the budget for the film because "nobody told me to stop." And it has Canadian actor Matt Frewer in a central role, so great film! And yes, the ending is perfect--and perfectly Gilliam.
The final movie for Monty Python era.
Kudos for the Subtitles hehe love it
