When monty python showed the studios the script they outright refused to fund it. Just so happened george Harrison was a massive fan of the holly grail and wanted to read the script and agreed to fund the whole movie the rest is history we have so much to thanks that man for!
The launch of Handmade Films
I think EMI actually commissioned it but their chief ordered them to be dropped because he didn’t like them.
George actually remortgaged his house to fund it.
Possibly apocryphal story: When asked why he put up the money George replied "I wanted to see the movie." If only more films were made like this.
@@BenGendersonit was going to go ahead but the studio head pulled out when he read the script and realised what the subject matter was.
The guy in the crucifixion scene who just mumbles and then wanders away, is the Big Daddy of all British comedy, Spike Miĺigan. Without him, there'd probably be none of the comedy you react to. He was a WW2 vet, and a radio comedy writer in the post war years. A lot of his work is surreal as well as very funny. Try reading his war memoirs, which had me crying with laughter. The epitaph on his grave says it all. "I TOLD YOU IWAS ILL"
The godfather of silliness.
Spike, the daddy of Brit humour. I started listening to the Goons, Spike, Peter and Harry .
Spikes Pakistani Dalek scene is comedy chaos. As was all his Q series programme's.
Very strongly suggest you check out the Goon Show, a 1950's radio series, written by Spike Milligan and performed by Spike, Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe, this is what gave the Monty Python Team their inspiration.
A Good short to get you started would be "What Time is it Eccles?"
I think one of the best Goon Show episodes is "Six Charlies in search of an Author". As well as being funny, it's also bizarre, as the characters, often protesting loudly, have to do what the man in possession of the typewriter types out for their character..
The final song "Always look on the bright side of life" is a popular UK funeral song....my dad wanted it played at his funeral ...and we did
It was played at my brother's funeral too.
I’m pretty sure they sung it at Graham Chapman’s funeral as well.
@SukiLondon sorry to hear about your brother Suki....but if he chose it, then he must have been like my dad....just a great bloke with a real sense of humour
@@dscott1392 Thank you. Same as your dad.
@@MsBlackdeath13Chapman's funeral, including the hilarious eulogy, is almost certainly on YT somewhere and worth reacting to 🤔
Judith was played by Sue Jones-Davies. In 2008 she became mayor of Aberystwyth. For the previous 30 years the movie hadn't been shown there because it was believed to be banned. (Actually town councillors just thought it unacceptable to show due to the supposed blasphemy and nudity but didn't actually ban it). When she found out she managed to arrange a charity screening of it for the first time in decades attended by Michael Palin and Terry Jones.
I always imagine Sue Jones Davies and family at the premiere screening.
Oh look kids, here's your grandmothers nude scene.
Her wife was my Welsh teacher!
Fantastic ❤
OMG :)
This film was banned in a Welsh town until decades later when their new mayor reversed the ban. That mayor was the actress who played Judith in this movie.
I was at uni in Aberystwyth when the ban was lifted and went to see the town premier at the Commodore cinema (in 2006 if I recall correctly). It was brilliant. The whole audience went along with all the iconic lines and at the end, everyone sang along to "Always look on the bright side of life" and everyone stayed until the credits ended. Best cinema experience of my life.
Banned in whole countries for many years. Norway was one I think.
Sue Jones Davies, Mayor of Aberystwyth at one stage.
@@MikePhillips-pl6ovSouth Africa as well.
The Roman soldiers invented Lasagne! It was convenient for them to carry the cheese and bolognaise everywhere they went!
In 1982, when the HMS Sheffield was sunk in the Falklands War, the crew sang, "Always look on the bright side of life" while waiting to be rescued.
That's the spirit right there
Such a fabulous film, that so nearly didn't happen. Thank you George Harrison, and the MP crew!
The hilarious thing about the film at the time was that, having satirised large fractions of human behaviour and made them look ridiculous, certain factions in contemporary society entirely lived up to the billing by their ridiculous reactions to it.
you don't beat around the bush, straight to the point, do you! :D lol :D
Ya they knew absolutely nothing about the film except is was made by Monty Python and something, something, Jesus so they immediately kicked off and made tremendous fools out of themselves. One or two of the Python members went on some talk or news show and went head to head with some Church of England dickheads and debated them on the movie that they knew nothing about and completely undressed them. Of course they were too proud to admit they were wrong but anyone watching that had one eye and half an arsehole knew that they had been totally discredited.
George was one of 3 celebrity naames who funded it. Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin also chipped in
So far ahead of its time a genuine classic
THE most complete comedy film ever made. Not a single wasted gag and every one is spot on.
Will never be a comedy film like it again.
The actors in the Biggus Dickus scene were told not to laugh and to be serious, but they weren't told what the jokes would be. So these are genuine reactions.
Cleese supposedly told them they wouldn't be paid if they laughed but they did after anyway.
@@MrGabb61 They had to laugh, and do so on cue, because that was the entire point of the scene. I'd be very wary about Cleese's anecdote, as he wasn't the director; that was Terry Jones's job, and he never said anything about telling the supporting actors not to laugh.
@@ftumschk of couse they did I get it. I've read many books over the years. Cleese actually told the story on a tv programme that they were told if they laughed before the cue they wouldn't be paid. The actors didn't know the script before hand and Palin was doing everything to make them laugh most of it was adlibbing on his part. They were were going to be paid anyway they just wanted the reaction. I get it for christ sake.
@@MrGabb61 Actors are notorious for telling dodgy anecdotes. The scene is tightly camera-scripted, so that the bulky 1970s cameras would be in the right place at the right time; it was therefore imperative that the actors knew what to do, and to do so whenever the camera was on them, especially given the number of tight close-ups.
It's quite obvious to me that the supporting actors are clearly over-acting the "sucking-in-the-cheeks" and "biting the lip/tongue" to Pilate's not particularly hilarious lines. The actors have to convey an exaggerated impression of increasingly suppressed laughter, because it's necessary to get maximum payoff when they finally act "losing it" and roll around on the floor.
They must have known that all this was going to happen, and I don't think much, if anything, would have been left to chance. I wouldn't be surprised if the centurions had read the script, and/or rehearsed the scene before the cameras rolled.
I wish people would stop telling this absolute bullshit, none of this is true and has been debunked many times. Originally the story was "the extras wouldn't be paid" then it was pointed out you cannot see any extras in this scene other than the blurred ones in the background. Then they changed their story to "the actors" which again makes 0 sense when you realize the main soldier in this scene is ESTABLISHED comedy actor (and sadly now disgraced) Chris Langham. It's literally his job to act the scene this way. Seriously a 30 second fact checking exercise would benefit most people greatly as this falsehood is peddled out every time this film is discussed.
"... I'm a Red Sea pedestrian!" 😂That bit gets me every time 😂
So so far ahead of their time. British humour at its absolute best. There will never be anything like them again, ever.
Fun fact: when I graduated from uni Terry Jones was getting an honorary degree (for his work with medieval literature) and when we paraded out we did so to “always look on the bright side of life” playing on the organ. Helped make the day that much more special for me, especially considering I actually referenced the song in my interview to attend uni!
Wonderful anecdote. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Amricans think it"s a docmentury. OH dear.
Love the “For Copright Reasons” joke you’ve done. Feels very fitting with Python, hahaha!
THE funniest film ever made. Also the most truthful about how religions begin, have schisms into different varieties and have various, often painful and fatal, methods of dealing with heretics to their beliefs. There is a documentary out there on YT about the debate that John Cleese and Michael Palin had with some archbishop and a born-again chap about the film. PS Nice touch with your 'For copyright reasons' banner!
That grammar scene is just pure class. Dative / verb conjugation / motion towards / imperatives - reminds me of my time learning Russian when these concepts drove me mad.
Saw a documentary and they talked about this scene and how they were amazed it worked, even though most people never had classical Latin classes in the old public school manner like this
You didn't study Latin at school, did you?
It was a perfect parody of the English Grammar School teaching approach. I had a teacher just like the Centurion even down to the ear pulling.
At the time it was considered blasphemous & some local councils banned it from cinemas...which made it a bigger success. The Pythons big screen masterpiece.
We did such here in Sweden. It was banned in Norway and we used that. "A movie so fun it was banned in Norway". John Cleese quite recently heard of it and Loved it.
@@Stetch42 The hit comedy show in the UK 'Not the Nine O'clock News' at the time also did a sketch on it getting banned in areas of the UK. It did, of course, make it more successful!.
My favourite line of the whole film is the guy who says to Brian at the crucifixion, "I like orders". It's not a line that makes me laugh but is, I think, the most profound line in a comedy with a lot of serious messaging going on. There are plenty of people who just prefer being told what to do rather than think too much or fight against injustice, and if they're told what to do by evil/amoral leaders, they'll do evil/amoral things. Probably because their own lives are hard enough that they don't have the strength/stamina/time to be a rebel. Millions of words have been written about how ordinary people can commit horrible acts, and Python summed it up in three words. "I like orders"
Some people like orders because they like order.
Humans, as a social animal, are good at being told what to do. It's part of the human condition
"Those who can make people believe absurdities, can make them commit atrocities".
"oh that's nice, I'm glad they get something, they've had hell of a time" 😂 i dunno why it makes me laugh so much
The whole fistfight during the Sermon on the Mount scene is hilarious.
That line and the delivery is one of my favourite lines of all time😊
@@christopherrmcarter1809 That and "I'm not."
@@christopherrmcarter1809 you're right, it's her delivery 😂
Simply the funniest film EVER made !! Makes me proud to be British !!
When this came out I saw it 3 times in one week. It is my favourite film of all time (along with Hobson's Choice). It still makes me laugh even though I can recite whole chunks of it. I love watching people find it for the first time. xxxx
Hobson's Choice 🤩
Same here,do you occasionally,like me spout out random parts of the film because it somehow fits the situation at the time😂😂
@@martindunstan8043 What you mean like "He's not the Messiah he's a very naughty boy"? at any time it might tenuously fit? Of course not! xxx
@sharonbunn2363 no,I didn't so,just me then 😉When going to the kitchen for snacks I've often said on return to the wife and son(he's grown up and moved out now) wolves nipple chips get 'em while they're 'ot,otters spleens,wren livers etc whilst walking round with a packet of whatever I plundered. Completely childish but it keeps me amused at least🤣
@@martindunstan8043 That is next level hahahaha xxx
15 minutes in & im laughing so hard my ribs are hurting..!😂 - loved that you did this!
Great reaction guys. I think the fact that you understood the basics of the story ( un like quite a few reactors I've seen doing this), is that you picked up the actual brilliance of the writing involved.
Can you imagine how much FUN they had filming this.....
Brilliant review, I saw this at a cinema in Enfield when it came out and it was shown with Blazing Saddles and I don't think I laughed so much in my life
Judean People's Front... at the time there were a lot of socialist splinter groups. The UK socialist Party, The Workers Party, The Socialist Workers Party, the Socialist Party of Great Britain, etc etc. If this joke has a specific target, that might be it!!
Yeah, as much as it’s a swipe at religion/organised religion it’s also a comment on left wing political movements - I think they may have been more inspired by their student days.
The religion forms & splinters due to the followers’ interpretations.
The various Judean peoples organisations all have the same aims but spend more time fighting each other that their actual oppressors - as explicitly shown the the scene breaking into the palace.
Rather more likely a swipe at the multitude of Palestinian groups in the 1970's ( Palestinian Liberation Organization, Fatah, Abu Nidal, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, etc etc ) who often seemed more involved in fighting each other / Jordanian government / Lebanese government than fighting the -Romans- Israel. Google Jordanian civil war & Lebanon civil war. A similar situation in Angola in the 1970's - MPLA, UNITA, FNLA
It is also a fairly accurate depiction of how Jewish anti-Roman resistance groups behaved at the time.
There's a fun song called Bill Bailey (The Ultimate Sectarian), which opens with:
"Bill Bailey belonged to every radical party that ever came to be,
Till he finally decided to start his own party so he wouldn't disagree"
(of which he was the only member)
And speaking from my own insider experience, it's still true today of many leftist movements.
Which is reasonable, because all the leftist groups except mine are a bunch of splitters.
My old friend, Joe when that film came out..."fkn hell, did I have a lucky escape 😳 "they" (his parents, Mary and Joseph) were gonna call me Brian" 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome reaction, guys! Makes me remember years ago when I had my girlfriend and her kids over and bought pizzas for all. We were down to one pizza and her oldest said that all are still hungry and asked if there will be enough for everyone. I ensured that there is enough and explained by reciting the parable of the loaves and the fishes as I prepared the pizza. As I finished, I revealed enough pizza for all...as I cut the slices to smaller yet triple the amount of slices. He just stood there and stared at the 'Messiah Pizza' in deepest confusion.
I like how you brought out your inner Monty Python with the 'For Copyright Reasons' xD
funny boys funny 🤣having watched a lot of americans react to this you two are the best .many reactions have been about 30 minutes and they have sat there with straight facies at the funniest bits .i do think that due to you guys having watched a lot of british comedy you got it .we played always look on the bright side of life at my dads funeral and he would have laughed his head off
Monty python were on a talk show with people who were high up in the church as they said it was blasphemy but to quote john cleese its about Brian who is mistaken for the messiah who was born at the same time. There were protests outside cinemas but all that did was make the movie even more famous as it was excellent free advertising as was all over the news and the papers worldwide.
I have watched this so many times since i was 10 or 11 and know it word for word.
They were told to write their will before going to the us to promote it
@@markbarker6739 omg I didn't know that.
Hello guys, I'm glad that you got to check out Monty Python and the life of Brian. I hope you two had a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year. And it's good to be back, take care chaps.
Laughter is the best medicine & this film cures me everytime. British humour at its best.
Like most fans, i can remember & recite most of this during most daily situations ( if needed)
My family watches this movie every christmas eve, as a nice holiday spirited tradition.
The Stan/Loretta scene. In every reaction video, the looks on the reactors' faces are priceless! 😮😧😱😆
Yeah, none of the guys reacting know whether to laugh or hide during that scene. Spencer here with trepidation and Daniel a bit nervous😊😊.
I've always wondered if Loretta was a reference to Sweet Loretta Martin in The Beatles song, Get Back, who "thought she was a woman but she was another man".
@@dougiemilnephotography756 ...... That's quite possible. It makes perfect sense!
God knows why. Unless they're virtue signalling .Most sane people know that men can't have babies so the scene will always be funny.
@@dougiemilnephotography756George Harrison did remortgage his house to fund the production of the film, as well as playing an extra. A subtle nod to his contribution?
I've watched this countless times, often due to my high school Latin teacher. Great movie and worth rewatching time again/
Getting stoned 2000 years ago was a horrific experience 😮
These days you just get the munchies 😂😂
Watching Spencer get angry at jokes is half the entertainment here
I remember a trip overseas where someone told my mum she had to haggle when buying things. She had that and the price she'd pay so solidly in mind she ignored me, my dad and the shopkeeps effort to tell her she was haggling the price upwards. Poor storekeep was so confused.
LOL i love that copyright box text
The initial credits song is a mock of Shirley Bassey who was a very famous singer in the UK at that time, she also sung James Bond's Goldfinger theme tune. This singers lyrics (I unfortunately don't know her name) is amazing and most people miss them as they're too busy watching the title artistry by Terry Gilliam. But the lyrics are hilarious.
It was filmed in Tunisia, using a number of the sets which had been built for the 8 hour Jesus of Nazareth movie/ TV series which I'm sure made it a lot cheaper to film than if they had to build their own sets.
You mean Franco Zeffirelli's Life of Jesus, right?
@@gabrielesolletico6542 Yes Indeed. Python used some of the sets which were still in place from that series.
Well, that's a film, not a tv serie. I love that film. Anyway, thank you for the information.@@petertimoney3436
George Harrison set up Handmade Films, which involved him mortgaging several of his properties including his home, to raise the money to finance the film. Because he wanted to see the film. £3 million - the most anyone has ever paid for a cinema ticket :D
The film was originally supposed to be financed by EMI, but only a few months before filming was due to start the Chairman of EMI read the script and threw a fit. Harrison mortgaged his home to finance Brian but it did so well his production company ended up making a number of films throughout the 80s.
The most expensive ticket for sure, but about average if you get popcorn too
"To get stoned", a different meaning then. 😂
I got to 3.40 before I noticed the graphics. Nicely played Editor person, nicely played.
There was a BBC comedy show called Not the Nine O'clock News. Which did a parody of the churches reaction to this film. Rowan Atkinson first TV work. Also Pamela Stephenson starred, who met Billy Connelly a guest star, and later married him.
Oh I loved that show! The Made In Wales skit especially🤣
The scene with the popular front of Judea, the people's front of Judea and the Judean people's front is actually a good reflection of the time's. The people of Judea were never united making it easy for the Romans to conquer them
It's meant to be a reflection on how movements against oppressors or a disliked government often fail due to all the infighting between subdivisions.
You'd be surprised at the amount of requests for 'always look on tbe bright side of life' at Funerals by Brits. (2 of my family alone). ❤ our capacity for humour knows no bounds. Thanks for reviewing and 'getting it' 🇬🇧
That part about Loretta is hysterical and ahead of time
Gender blurring wasn't unusual in popular culture back then. It wasn't as politicized and used to drum up hatred to the extent we're seeing now.
Except that it was a joke back then to "have the right to have babies". Nowadays you have the police come round if you say someone who was born male doesn't have the right to have babies.
Oh and before you ask the spaceship scene is to do with Enoch from the bible, who says he was taken to heaven by beings,shown around and returned
As a UK guy.... We can quote this film verbatim 😂😂😂
At our local pub we once played this after England lost in the quarter Finals of the world Cup about 17 yrs ago. All i can say it lightened everyone's mood and the place was rockin.
In the Biggus Dikus scene (deliberately spelt wrong) all of the extras playing guards were told they weren't allowed to laugh or they wouldn't be paid. They weren't given any warning about what was happening and simply told not to laugh. That is why he was deliberately getting in their faces to make them crack.
This has been disproven so is a bit of a myth that gets quoted whenever a new reaction to the film appears. It had nothing to do with their pay.
@@MikePhillips-pl6ov I am probably wrong but I know the guys were challenged to not laugh and weren't pre-warned about what would happen. Maybe it wasn't pay that was involved but I know they were not in on the joke.
Completely false, stop peddling this crap as fact.
@@darrenpayne150 100% were in on the joke, look at the actor in this scene its Chris Langham (the roman guard) his entire career is as a comedy actor. The director of the film has also stated this was a complete lie (possibly started by John Cleese as a joke) but completely false.
@@Lones555 I think you need to calm down a bit. I am not in any way trying to deliberately spread lies. From what I have heard over several years, that was what happened and I thought it had been confirmed. Having looked around I can see that it has never been either confirmed or denied by anyone directly involved so maybe it is false but it could also be true. It was never my intention to spread a lie and I am so sorry that you were offended by something so trivial. Rest assured I placed myself in time out for the relevant amount of time.
Every time you watch it you find something hilarious you haven’t seen before 👏👏👏
this takes me back to the army when on parade, the sgt major had a lisp and the oc of the squadron had a stutter, it was so funny watching some one getting a bollocking on parade having to bit your lip biggus diccus
😂😂😂 The "typos" in the tiles card!!!! Copywight, Reasons, Reathons, full Weaction, Wink in the Descwiption😂😂😂
for some weason i stumbled across your channel!
and i got to say it... you guys are pure and awesome and remind me so much to Tucker and Dale^^
In the Biggus Dickus scene, to get the reactions they did, they told the actors playing the soldiers that they had to keep straight faces, and wouldn't get paid if they laughed.
This movie is a classic. But it's so good, like watching the first time enjoyable while watching your reactions to this gem. The quip about "mothers have the ability to humble you" during the scene when Brian's mom is going off on the crowd.💀
Imagine just how much fun did they have writing this.
The only American in the team,Terry gilliam,did all the animation
They are the BEST! My generation was lucky to have them 😂 Enjoy!
My question is why the leader of the Campaign for Free Galilee sounds like he's from Pontypridd
'Transitions through time'... frekin classic !
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bizarrely, this movie gets more relevant as the years go by and the jokes seem funnier. :)
‘Symbolic of his struggle against reality’
- isn’t that the truth of that whole debate!
Absolutely .
FYI: John Cleese was actually a Latin teacher.
"You'll probably get away with crucifition, first offense" 😂
The song "Always look on the bright side of life" is a popular funeral song.
Just absolutely love this movie, Thank you for your reaction.🇬🇧🇺🇸
The fantastic thing about Python generally is that they remind us to get off our moral pedestals and not take ourselves so seriously. That kind of comedy is timeless. Big nose.
Who you calling big nose?
@@sidsuspicious I'll take you to the fuckin cleaners
Wink in the descwiption 🤣🤣🤣l love you guys! Happy New Yeaw!🤣❤️
The depiction of early law enforcement and judicial process is amazing. Historical imaging of a people rarely depicted as on the street level is genius. Things relating still decades later.
Love the way the Roman soldier corrected his work. Latin was taught like this.
you can see why the church tried to ban it, many people got the wrong idea as to why it was. it showed the gullibility of people to believe what they preach, rather then being blasphemous as such
"He's not a YT sensation... he's a very naughty boy!"
Went to the cinema to watch a Clint Eastwood film, went into the wrong screen and this started. I was sitting there at the start thinking what the feck is this, having seen it all the way through I didn't regret having missed the Eastwood film at all.
I went see Escape From Alcratraz and they showed the Life of Brian trailer.
@@gregmitchell5594 I went to watch every which way but loose. That confuses me a bit as that film came out a year earlier in 1978, however that was the film I went to see.
@@AnglOsAxOn2It often took months for US films to be screened here.
The Rutles were exec produced by Lorne Michaels of Saturday Night Live, who played the first sketch on air.
Another strong recommend: "Britannia" - a Rock & roll re-imagining of the Roman Invasion of Druidic Britain. Unfortunately Sky bought the rights. Series 1-3.
The most perfect movie
I love Spencer's bemused expression through most of the film!
He’s got a great laugh
The hassling thing, it happened to me in Turkey when going through the Bazaars, you're meant to say "No Hassle" and they're meant to leave you alone, did it f*ck 😂😂
Haggling?
In my home town of Derry, when it came out, majority of Protestants and Unionists were against and boycotted it. The Catholics on the other hand, were queueing round the block.
This is one of my most favourite movies of all time. Really enjoyed the reactions 😂 My parents took me to see this in the cinema as a child. It was different back in the day!
First time I watched this with my wife she fell asleep for 5 mins right before the chase and alien bit.
She woke, asked me what she missed I explain about Brian being chased through town and then escaping thanks to falling into an alien spaceship.
What would you know she didn't believe me; the look on her face when she saw exactly what I'd said was priceless! 😂
When it comes to throwing things out if left-field, you can't go wrong with Monty Python!
Did you know that in Fallout New Vegas you can find "Romanes eunt domus" written on a wall.
One running joke that almost everybody misses is that there are people from countries that didn't even exist back then..... Swedish, Welsh and the most obvious one is the American woman saying "follow the gourd".
✌️❤️🇬🇧
YES LADS! Should look to watch Monty Python Live (mostly): One down, five to go. The last hurrah of the Pythons.
The old guy playing Matthius was John Young, who was the Historian in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. He played the Rev Iain MacPherson in the soap opera Take The High Road for many years. He is the father of the actor Paul Young, who plays Shug in Still Game, which is another comedy which you should check out.
Also, the skinney guy who ran away from the gladiator in the Coluseum was Neil Innes - Ron Nasty in The Rutles.
The actress who played Judith went on to be a politician in Wales
I'd love to see you guys react to Monty Python's stage show from this time period; 'Live at the Hollywood Bowl'
Classic! Never equaled in cinematography
Subbed for the sheer lenght of your reaction videos :) Awesome job guys :)
My favourite film of all time seen it many many times,saw it in 79 when is came out.
For anybody that doesn't know 2 biblical films were parodied.
The ' wealease woderwick' scene with the crowd was a parody of a movie starring Anthony Quinn called Barrabas (1962) .The custom was to release a prisoner on a Roman holiday.
The end scene was a parody of a Kirk Douglas movie called Spartacus ( 1960) when the prisoners about to be crucified claimed to be Spartacus .They all claimed to be Brian in the life of Brian.
1:06:30 That's not the emperor; it's Pontius Pilate.
I saw this in a double bill with airplane when I was 14 life changing comedy .
When my friend went to the theater to see Life of Brian It was being picketed and a lady asked him if he was going to see it, when he said "yes" she said "that's blasphemy" and He said "that means it will be a blast for me". She hit him with her purse.
Glad to see you understood the movie as also having a cautionary tale to tell- many watch this right after Holy Grail and immediately begin the "debate" about which movie is funnier. By the way, a general rule in Monty Python movies is, if you see one of the guys leave a scene before it's over, he is very likely to be who they will encounter in the following scene.
So many memorable lines in this classic, hilarious from start to end. One of my favourites is when they go to welease Bwian, "I'm Brian and so is my wife!" So glad you guys appreciate the intelligence of Monty Python 😊
