Well Done. The ending was,literally, a "Cop Out" 😀
They used coconuts due to lack of finance and it was only the intervention of one of The Beatkes:Geotge Harrison that got this made...
Now that you saw this masterpiece, you have to watch "Life of Brian"! Or the Judean Peoples Front might hunt you! Or the Peoples Front of Judea... Its a 50/50 chance!
Monty Python and The Life Of Brian
Maybe a little easier to follow the story, just remember, "he's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!"😂
So you don‘t just do it for the fun but for money? doooh.
Life of Brian is next!
I was so relieved that Sir Lancelot succeeded in rescuing Sir Galahad just in time at the Castle Anthrax. He was so terribly outnumbered. What a tense scene.
Yes, Sir Galahad became the Chased, rather than the Chaste.
Fact: Lancelot is the father of Galahad. This is basically a father cockblocking his son 😂
The peril was too perilous.
Too much peril is unhealthy.
Oh, just a little more peril, please. Not perilous enough.
Over the years I have come to appreciate the ending as the best joke of the whole movie. The look on peoples faces as they realized that is truly the end, is priceless! Also, it has been adapted for the stage. See Spamalot!
That's probably my favorite part of reactions to this movie. The look of the reactor waiting...waiting... confused. Huh? LOL
The difference here, though, was that the streaming service gave away the fact that the movie was over. I've seen people just staring at the black screen, listening to the music, baffled.
@@Billinois78 The music and black screen really are the cherry on top. No credits, nothing (they already sacked all the credits people 😆)...just the open question, 'Is...is that it? Is there more?' Love it.
@@Billinois78 Originally, the film _did_ finish abruptly after the film burn. The lights would go up or they'd switch to another film. They added the play-out at the end when it was released on home media because people thought there was a problem with their copy.
Yes it has; way back in the early 2000s, I took my nephew to see it. In the cast were Tim Curry, David Hyde Pierce and Sara Ramirez.
Behold: ruclips.net/video/fstHSW9_zMs/видео.html
Literal cop-out.
Fun fact: in the scene where the villagers are debating about how to tell if the woman is a witch, John Cleese prolonged the beat before he answers to try to make his costars laugh. You can see Eric Idle, standing next to him, bite his scythe in an effort to not break character!
I remember him biting the scythe but I thought it was just a weird quirk.
Thanks, I never knew that. 😄
I had been a fan of the Monty Python TV series when brought to the US so I was prepared for the movie, knowing it would not make a lick of sense. The movie didn’t have an end, it just stopped, which was typical of the pythons sketches.
@@denvan3143 The ending was, quite literally, a cop-out. lol
it's one big troll movie. And basically any questions you may have regarding any decisions made in the movie can be explained by one simple sentence.
"They ran out of money."
Also King Arthur and his men were set up for the murder by someone because the killer knight had a horse. And nobody else in the story did.
Ran out of money? So that's why the Castle Anthrax scene was cut short.
@@henrytjernlundExactly. They actually had a discussion right before the final battle and realized they couldn't afford to pay each extra 15 pounds each (I think) for another full day of shooting. (That's also the reason why they used the coconuts instead of actual horses.) So someone suggested that they just have the police end the movie. (The total budget was $319,000 which came from several famous rockers including Pink Floyd, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin and Elton John - George Harrison put up $5 million to finance Life of Brian).
As an actress you'd appreciate the talent displayed. The main actors play a minimum of 3 characters. For example, the same actor who played sir Lancelot also played Tim, the black night, and the French taunter, and a few other roles. These guys are absolute geniuses
Was he also the guy that was turned into a newt?
John Cleese, as far as I can tell, was Sir Lancelot, the French Taunter, the guy carrying the "dead guy", the guy who was turned into a newt (but got better), probably one of the Knights who say Ni, he was one of the heads on the three headed knight, Tim, and I can't tell who else
@@skyraider87 The Black Knight was also Cleese.
Grail is a brilliant deconstruction of movies, and it was their first movie. The end is literally a cop-out.
If you grew up with their TV show (4 series) called "Monty Python's Flying Circus", you would know their humour well and the "cop out" ending would not have been such a surprise. Although there were many extras, the Monty Python team is 5 people and 1 animator and they all play multiple roles in the film.
Animators are also people.
He meant 5 main actors + the animator
Well, they gotta find a new animator after this movie.
Grew up with Monty Python's Flying Circus. Love it and them!
If y’all didn’t know: the answer to the murder mystery is:
None of the round-table knights nor Arthur killed the historian which resulted in a manhunt, for the Knight that did was riding on horseback. So much debate over coconuts and it still flies overheads.
It flies over heads? Maybe in your circle of friends, perhaps.
@@waynemarvin5661 alright Wayne go get a high five from Alfred if you really need the gratification
@@waynemarvin5661 hey dumbass, the flies overheads was a joke, cuz he just mentioned coconuts like 5 words before.
Dude you don’t have to type like you’re in old England
@@natesprague3804 amazing how I’m not living in the 16th century and you still understood what was written.
I have to read research papers and historic scientific journals for a living nearly all languages are ruined for me and especially American-English along with those documents, most historic events, and most manufactured products/mining or farming strategies.
Big Benny-Franklin might have helped print shit after Gutenberg but he also had a lot of random skeletons literally buried in his basement due to random medical students not being able to exam or study cadavers due to the Catholic Church of the time and burial rights . Does ben Franklins perception as a person change after like a dozen skeletons are found under the floorboards or does it just show his discontent for the church and a prioritization on industrialization/growth of technology and medical fields and a disregard for the church having say over laws?
Knowing history is weird and fun little old timey but you’ll always learn stuff you never knew and everything will make a lot of sense as you see the build up to historic events.
If you liked this you should watch their next film The Life of Brian, its even funnier and with a bigger budget they nail one of the best comedies of all time, a masterpiece.
Great reaction!!
It also has an actual ending. Lol
It's also more traditionally framed instead of being linked skits.
LoB has, in my humble opinion, some of the most brilliant satire that I have ever seen put on film. It is one of my favorite comedies and I would recommend it to ANYONE who wants to watch a Python movie.
Life Of Brian was what got me into Monty Python when I was younger and dam did it have me crying with laughter. Brilliant film, now I'm off to follow the shoe and see if I can find an ex-leper on the way
@@amandacogger3075 At 5:30, waking up, and without my glasses, I read Life of Brian got you into "Mary Poppins". Lol
Imagine being in the theatre for that ending back in the early 70s. Strangers were forming groups to work it out as they walked out to their cars.
My late mother took me, aged 10 (I was 10, not her). She never went to the cinema again.
This was unexpected, like the Spanish Inquisition.
*"NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!"*
Our chief weapon is surprise, surprise and fear...
Fear and surprise, and ruthless efficiency.
@@stephenkehl7158 And an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.
A funny bit about the witch scene. When she balances out to the duck, she whispers "Well that's a fair Cop". That's a piece of english slang that's meant as an admission of guilt when your caught red handed, which means that she actually WAS a witch! Which is even more hilarious.
GM Starson On one of the audio commentary tracks they said the idea was she rejected their advances, so they set her up as a witch out of revenge.
The guy hanging on the wall clapping his hands, kills me every time.
Reminds me of the "You lucky bastard" guy from _Life of Brian._
@@rickardroach9075 "YOU'VE HAD A HARD TIME?!?!?!!? I'VE BEEN HERE FIVE YEARS! THEY ONLY HUNG ME THE RIGHT WAY UP YESTERDAY!!!!"
8:15 Turns out she may have actually been a witch. Her saying "It's a fair cop" is effectively "yeah, you got me"
Also, there IS a stage version of this, called "Spamalot"!
Just saw that in Stratford this week!
On thing I'll say about British justice, you always get a fair trial👨⚖️
"One day, my son, all this shall be yours." *points to kingdom through window*
"What, the curtains?"
I can't remember laughing so much during a reaction than when I saw the look of shock on your face at the ending. 😀😀😀
They actually set up that ending right from the opening credits. As they progressed through the movie, the "offscreen" crew were brought in more and more as characters who caused trouble with the film.
AS a proud owner of "The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, executive edition" I can still quote this movie word for word.
Thank you for catching the Swallow and coconut experiment, so many people skip past it. With a lot of rewatching, there a just tons of little things. The extra making splashes as they cross a stream. Random woman failing a cat into a wall at several points in the film.
Some personal favorite quotes;
in regards to what else floats, "very small rocks"
The iconic "just a flesh wound".
"Let me face a little peril!" No no, too perilous"
"lets not bicker and argue about who killed who"
In the first conversation, with the Knights of Ni, they say "it" 5 times.
I could go on, but those still show up in my conversation from time to time.
One of the bits that makes me laugh everytime is: what the hell the anarco syndicalists are doing with the mud??? This and the fact that the French soldiers don't understand French hahaha
My brothers had the LP and I knew every word of it as a kid many years before I even saw the movie😊
@YT I never looked at the record platter that closely... maybe it did!
One of my favorites is them all shouting "Run away!", because "Retreat" is a French word and the Norman Invasion hadn't happened yet by the year the film takes place in, so the English language hadn't had the blending of words yet.
@@IceMaverick13 Wow that's deep😀
The reason for the intermission in the middle of the bridge scene was that Graham Chapman froze while crossing over.
Funny you should have mentioned it being good for a stage production. Eric Idle (Sir Robin) made it into a musical called Spamalot...
Hey, no fair! We couldn't stop the movie in the theater to read the subtitles!! Also, RIP Terry Jones, Graham Chapman, and Neil Innes. Okay, so, I'm sitting here with a mug on my desk that has quotes from this film; a piece of needlepoint on the wall to my left with the rabbit dripping blood from his fangs and a quote from Tim the Enchanter; a framed piece of art to my left with the Holy Hand Grenade scripture that was read out loud which is illustrated in hand drawn text to resemble the time period; and four Funko POP figures of King Arthur, the Black Knight, Tim the Enchanter, and Sir Bedevere. So, I'm a big fan, to say the least. This was the first feature film the Pythons did after the success of their TV show, and it was super low budget, One castle in Scotland stood in for a lot of the locations, and the chain mail the knights wear is actually knitted wool. There was no budget for any kind of improvisation so the script was completed before filming with almost no changes, and they couldn't afford real horses, so ... they went for the gag with coconuts since those had long been used as sound effects for horses. And, for as silly and stupid as their humor is, the Pythons were all very educated lads and much of the film strived to be historically accurate (up to a point, obviously). One of the films that changed my life as a teenager seeing it in the theater when it first came out, and not knowing anything about Monty Python. And, if you ever get the chance, go see the Broadway musical (well, the touring company now, I guess) of "Spamalot" which was written by Eric Idle and is hilarious.
Whilst it was their first feature film, they had previously released a film "And Now For Something Completely Different" which was a film version of several sketches from their TV shows.
“I don’t know what to do with what I’ve just seen.” Sums up Monty python perfectly.
Monty Python started as a sketch TV show. But unlike shows before it (and usually after it), one sketch would often bleed into another, or even show up in a far later sketch. And they often didn't end with the cliche joke but could just...end.
And these sketches were often bridged/linked with cartoons done by Terry Gilliam (yes, *that* Terry Gilliam).
The TV series is well worth the watch.
The end of the movie is a literal "cop-out..."
I love how the cop at the end takes the shield away from that one soldier saying that it's an "offensive weapon".
The Pythons were the most brilliantly silly troupe ever. Life of Brian is my favorite comedy.
It was great to see you react to this and Road to El Dorado on Timothee's channel in the same day (probably not filmed at the same time but still)! Many of the animations in this film are inspired by the marginalia doodles often left by monks in medieval texts; without the printing press they must have been extremely bored because those drawings are even stranger than what the film depicts IMO.
They pretty much all started on stage while at university doing comedy acts and other stage productions, and some of this carries over to when they created Monty Python together.
When I first saw this movie as an American kid, I was unfamiliar with the term used in the opening credits: "sacked", so I thought being the goofballs they were, they just meant they were put in sacks. Later, I learned it means to be "fired", or "terminated" (weird terms on their own).
That'd work too.
I've heard that at the meeting where the Pythons decided to make this movie, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam yelled, 'Everybody named Terry gets to direct!'. And so it was decided. It's worth checking out 'The Ministry of Silly Walks' from their television show, which was on the BBC in the 60's. Pardon if you already knew that!
27:52 Well...as luck would have it, Eric Idle (Sir Robin) adapted this film to the stage as a comedy musical called 'Spamalot' (the title is a play on words relating to the Monty Python sketch about "Spam") and it is still perfomed on London's West End/Broadway to this day (Tim Curry was the first actor in it to play Kng Arthur). So keep a lookout for the next time it is on :)
I’m glad someone mentioned this in light of her comment. The title might have at least some reference to the Spam sketch from the Flying Circus show, but I imagine it’s also a reference to the lyrics of the Camelot song itself (“We eat ham and jam and Spam a lot”).
On second thought, let’s not go there. It is a silly place. 😉
Apparently they WERE supposed to have horses for the movie, but they were too expensive. So they came up with the whole coconut bit for the entire cast.
Regarding the wish for a stage production: There is a musical based on this movie called Spamalot.
Also that feeling mostly originates from their origin as a sketch comedy group. Check out Monty Pythons Flying Circus for their sketches
It was ok that you didn't commentate so much in this one; your laughs are all the reaction that's needed in a movie like this! I hope you do their NEXT movie, "Life Of Brian", which Python themselves consider their greatest achievement (I do, too!).
The knight who killed the professor was riding a horse. The only horse in the movie, indicating that our boys were innocent.
Love watching you check out a classic like this one; I love their next movie "Life Of Brian" even more. As an actress, I think you'll appreciate the performances even more. One of them, Michael Palin, does a huge amount of characters, all different in "LIfe Of Brian".
The ending is a classic cop out. It was a way they use to end sketches semi-randomly with having the police bust in and break up the set/stop the filming.
Also they couldn't afford to pay all of the extras one more day to film the big battle.
Long been one of my favourite movies. I hope one day you will do another though much older one. The Ealing film Kind Hearts and Coronets. The first really dark comedy, it stars Dennis Price, Valerie Hobson, Joan Greenwood with the great Alec Guinness who is playing no less than 8 different roles. The American censors were so outraged by the film that they insisted on half of Greenwoods lines being cut and the ending of the movie being changed for the American release. The original British version is a must watch for a film buff and yet no one seems to have done a reaction to it. In June 2019, a new 4k restoration scanned from the 35 mm nitrate original negative was released by Studiocanal in UK cinemas, along with DVD and Blu-Ray versions. So it is out there to watch and react to....please, please, consider doing so..
Yes, I saw Kind Hearts and Coronets at a big screen theatre in France. It was superb. You need to mention such films as most reactors are kids who understandably have never heard of them.
The Ladykillers (original ) is another must see.
My friend and I performed bits from this for our Drama class in high school. We had to submit a script for what we were going to do and so it was just me pausing and rewinding this VHS to get the Cocoanut Scene, the Black Knight Scene, etc. Good stuff.
The last scene is a literal "cop out" was so good
There is SO MUCH to this in Pop Culture. Monty Python is pretty much the FIRST TV comedy troupe. SNL, Kids in the Hall, etc... They would have never existed without Monty Python.
All of the actors have gone on to lead VERY successful careers in their fields. Monty Python as a group have won so many awards it's not even fair. 😂 A really cool part about the animations is that the animator (which was ONE guy btw went on to do a TON of popular 80's and 90's music videos and also did a number of things for VH1 and MTV.
A few of the members are still alive luckily, but sadly Graham Chapman (King Arthur) passed away from throat cancer not long after this movie was completed. Terry Jones also passed away in 2019 I think? RIP. Michael Palin was also Knighted by the Queen as well.
Such amazingly talented gentlemen. ❤️❤️❤️
"Monty Python and the Holy Grail": An uproarious romp around King Arthur's 10th century Btitain on "Coconut horses." Otherwise a ROTFLMAO movie, delighting/puzzling viewers ever since. No Swallows were harmed during the production of this movie.;) Historians, however, are fair game. Beware the Master of Insults/French Knight!
*A moose bit my sister once*
Comentary and reactions are entirely different affairs. Some reactors seem to think that we want them to be jabering away non-stop.
That's the quickest way to lose me.
Trampling on the script with incessant blather just obscures the storyline.
We can read body language and facial expressions. Laughter, smiles, tears are all reactions.
Save the commentary for after the movie, please.
Good job, that was fun. Thanks -
Our HS political science teacher showed the scene that describes the us constitutional republic. It's the only scene we were allowed to watch and he had to have it specifically to that part.
The monks hitting themselves has a basic in history, I forget what it was called, but they did it to repent for their sins and become stronger in their faith.
Saw a literary scholar say that this is actually one of the movies that holds to the story of king author and the holy grail. One of the members of python was a teacher of lit and this was a story he knew well.
I'm a huge fan of the Python films. I've written some papers about their comedy. They were geniuses of their time and we need people like them now more than ever
Spamalot was a big hit on the stage. It was an adaptation of many Month Python's famous skits.
Ending aside, This is easily without a doubt one of the funniest comedies of all time and from Monty Python in general.
Thanks for the reaction Clariss.
One of the important things about any Monty Python thing is that they have no idea how to end anything. Most of their stuff just abruptly ends and that just part of the joke
I think the most recent reference to this film was actually in Deadpool. When Deadpool got his leg chopped, he started bouncing and said; "You ever heard of the one legged man in the ass kicking contest?" That was a reference to the "flesh wound" scene.
It's probably already been said but the ending is a literal cop out.
Great reaction by the way.
Many blessings to you and yours.
Probably the best introduction to the Pythons' particular brand of absurdist/surrealist humor is their first film, _And Now for Something Completely Different_ (1972). It is a compilation of some of the best sketches from the first two seasons of their TV series, _Monty Python's Flying Circus._ The sketches were edited down to only the funniest bits and were re-filmed. The movie was made especially to introduce America to Monty Python, which had not yet been seen in the States. As a result of the film's success this side of the pond PBS began airing _Flying Circus_ in 1974.
As far as this humor transferring to the stage, they did do that. They made this movie into a play, It was called Spamalot. I never saw it myself but heard only good things from my friends who had seen it.
This is one of the funniest movies with the most unsatisfying ending but it's done in tune with the whole movie which makes it hilarious
Unsatisfying? I mean I guess. The ending of the movie is a cop-out, both literally and figuratively.
@@davidblauyoutube Lol it just abruptly ends with filming getting shut down. There's no conclusion to the silly plot because they literally ran out of money to film the rest but it works with the 4th wall breaking and the film was great so you just shake your head and laugh
I saw this with my friend when we were 8 and we watched it so much we knew every line lol I'm 45 now good memories
This movie is one of my favorites and has been since I was a kid. It’s the type of movie where you always learn or figure out something new every time you watch it.
Like, for instance, I just realized a few weeks ago that Sir Lancelot charging through the wedding is, in itself, a joke.
He’s Sir Lancelot. He lances, a lot.
The realization of that "cop out" ending was hilarious! There you have it,.,.. the 70s.
You commented about that bridge being very shoddy and you're right but the actor, Graham Chapman, who played King Arthur, had often bragged to his fellow Monty Python actors that he was a mountain climber and had lots of experience but when it came to him crossing that bridge he was shaking like a leaf. Some claim it was because he was an avid alcoholic and that's why he shook so much, but it was funny to see the others laughing at him none the less. The animator was none other than Terry Gilliam, (now a well known movie director), who played the old man at the bridge and many other small parts such as Patsy, King Arthur's side kick sherpa and coconut banging horse.
Fun fact: they ran out of money fast, and had next to nothing to begin with. Then, George Harrison (the Beatle) paid out of pocket to get the rest of the movie made. He was a fan.
All of the real credits were mixed in with the joke credits at the beginning. Which allowed them to end the movie suddenly with no further credits legally required at the end.
Terry Gilliam was was very rarely seen as an actor in the troupe, but did all the animations himself. He was the only American Python member.
I appreciate your approach of "I need to see this because I know it's the basis of a lot of later jokes and memes." You're absolutely right about that.
So loved you reacting to "The Holy Grail," my good friend introduced me to them. And when I turn 22, he gave me a copy of a book for the movie that was done as up like it was a used copy of the films scriped with both cast and the directors notes in the margins. Love that book it inculds the arrest reports for the knights aswell. So have a graet day and STAY SAFE.
Has a teenager I would sometimes get to watch the Monty Python Flying Circus show on PBS then before the Holy Grail movie came out!
Monty Python was a very popular & irrelevant British comedy troupe in the 1970s. Their comedy variety show is called Monty Python's Flying Circus. If you can find it, you'll learn all about the Ministry of Silly Walks, among other recurrent skits.
By the way, did you notice the main characters were all played by the same actors? One of the French knights taunting Arthur at the beginning was literally the same actor as played one of his companions!
I didn't get the joke of the "cop out" at the end until it was explained on RUclips. In reality, they ran out of money.
For a less ridiculous understanding of what Arthur's knights were known for, look up the 1960s musical, Camelot.
The film is filled with literary and cinema references.
Except for Sir Robin all the knights named in the film are actual characters from Arthurian literature.
The search for the Holy Grail is one of the major themes in Thomas Malory's _Le Morte d'Arthur,_ published in 1485.
There is a castle of maidens in the legends, though things turn out differently.
The scene of the chanting monks parodies a scene of a procession of flagellant monks in Bergman's _The Seventh Seal._
And there are many more.
Monty Python ending is my favorite part of the movie, I laughed so hard seeing the cops arrest them I cried.
I laughed SO MUCH! You clearly were not expecting the things you saw and heard, and your reaction was all over your face.
This is one of my favorites from back when it was new. Very quotable, with great production values despite the budget and limitations. I love scene 24 - it could have been part of a serious movie. Also, the over-the-top performance by John Cleese as Tim the Enchanter. Just a unique movie in the proud traditions of their TV show. Great reaction.
Tim The Enchanter is played by Billy Connolly, a brilliant scottish comedian.
When Clariss started to take a drink I’m like, “I don’t think you should be drinking anything during this movie. Unless you have the hospital on speed dial because you will be laughing.”
Well *CLARISS,* You're in luck. One of the Python's (Monty Python is an British comedy troupe of 7 men, one is an American, that plays multiple roles, men & female, in thier TV series, movies & live shows) named Eric Idle (the guy who said *"BRING OUT YOUR DEAD")* adapted *"Monty Python & The Holy Grail"* to the Broadway Musical stage play called *"SPAMALOT".*
I am absolutely LOVING your reactions. Subscribed! There area few dozen movies I'd love to suggest, but I know all reactors get more suggestions than they can fulfill, so I'll limit myself to just one, and hope you're hearing in from others as well: Ready Player One. There's a bonus here too, as the Holy Hand Grenade makes an appearance there.
Hey hey hey, don’t apologize for commenting during the movie, that’s the whole point of a reaction! We’re here to see how other people react and think about the movies we love!
People that watch reactions just to watch the movie are crazy. Comment and speak your mind as much as you like, girl! You are beautiful and your reaction was great fun!
For more Terry Jones comedy, check out Labyrinth (1986) which he wrote.
The heraldic symbol on the black knights tunic is a wild boar which is a very fitting symbol as its an animal famous for ignoring lethal injuries and fighting on regardless of how badly hurt it is, it's that tenacious that in medieval times they developed a special spear for hunting wild boar, the aptly named Boar Spear had horizontal lugs just below the spearhead to stop an impaled boar from running up the length of the spear and continuing to attack.
Absolutely loved your reaction! You seemed to get it more than most on a first watch 😅 Its one of those films that's got so many legends behind the making of it! Ooh and subscribing! 👌💕
The Holy grail is brilliant.
You should give Monty Python's, the life of Brian, a watch too. So funny.👍
John Cleese did a great standup show called the Alamony Tour. He talks a lot about the films, and the whole Monty Python era. It's a lot of fun.
You want to see this on the stage? Catch a performance is Spamalot. The musical version of Monty Python and the holy Grail. It was written by Eric Idel (Roger the shrubber; Brave Sir Robin; brother Maynard; the guy who wants you to bring out your dead).
Love the reaction! New Aussie subscriber and there's one movie that nobody has ever reacted to Aussie classic comedy The Castle. Guaranteed to make anyone smile and interesting fact it's Eric Bana's first movie. He actually started out as a stand up comedian
Should bring you a few new viewers it's one of Australia's most loved movies
I will look up, "The Castle." I love good comedy!
The fact that you try to find comfort with your cat is a given like for starters.. I do the same. This movie is such a treat but oh so wierd. ^^ Life of Brian is just like this but one more level up. Both movies aged so well and I still enjoy them.
Personally I have always thought the "Grail" to be better than "Brian". Brian's funniest moments are more funny than any in the Grail, but it spends a long time not being very funny at all, whereas the Grail starts from the very opening credits & never stops...... to me the Grail is simply more consistently funny....
Also bear in mind that the film cost just £175,000 ($400,000) to make vs Brian $4,000,000, but took over $5,000,000 vs Brian $20,000,000 at the box office - it was a staggering achievement.
One of Elvis's favourite movies, he absolutely loved it, quoting the Knights of Ni and everything! anything that happened bad he would say 'tis but a mere scratch'! his girlfriend Linda Thompson met Eric Idle and confessed!!
12:14 Tbh, I can imagine that it's difficult to comment with this kind of film. The Pythons pack so much in (either visual or audio) that in order to comment you'd have to basically pause every ten seconds! Your smile throughout and constant laughter is enough.
The animator is director Terry Gilliam, who was also the token American member of the Monty Python troop.
This film and Life of Brian are two of my favorite comedies ever.
Not afraid to get political even if it's by satire, dark humor and just a bit random at times
I think this is the perfect example of British humour
They didn't have money for horses, so they made a running gag with the coconuts. Which is absolutely gold.
Incorrect. They had money for a single horse for the rider who killed the historian.
Your reaction, to the killer rabbit scene was PRICELESS!!
"That's an offensive weapon, that is"
Says the cop grabbing the *_SHIELD!_*
The story has been adapted for the stage by Eric Idle. It is the musical “Spamalot”.
The monks were chanting "Pieus leus Domine, dona eis requiem" which roughly translates to "Merciful Lord Jesus grant them rest." Which is a traditional Latin funeral rite. Or if you look at it another way the monks are praying/pleading "Dear Lord, make it stop," and that could be why they are beating themselves in the head with boards. They're tired of this shit and want out.
The ending was a "Cop Out"
Knew this would a fabulous reaction when the Lady Clariss paused to read the opening credits.
Enjoyed laughing with your expressions and reaction to this fine Medieval history documentary; for which I award
her Ladyship in her quest of British comedy, a grail
(delivered by Ecuadorian mountain llama as it' may be too heavy for a European swallow)
Oh, also, there IS a stage performance show of this called Spamelot. Award winning as well btw!
Your face at the clapping prisoner gag was too cute! 😟
At least he's enjoying the song! 😅
Tried to concentrate on the film clips, but I've seen them all many times, and, holy cow, Clariss is absolutely beautiful!
I really like seeing a younger generation enjoying Monty Python. Next up- Life of Brian?
I LOVE this movie, sooo good! My husband and I quote this all the time. Also, you are crazy beautiful, and really enjoy your reactions, especially the Pride and Prejudice one.
Don't worry about talking less, some of your physical reactions were hilarious!
I'm sure other peeps have recommended "Life of Brian", you'll be on firmer footing there, it has a more coherent and focused plot and makes some strong political and philosophical points so there's plenty there to talk about.
No one talks about it but if you want a primer on Monty Python, "And Now for Something Completely Different" is a film basically made up of the most famous sketches from the TV show, if you want to try and understand their brand of humour more I'd suggest that.
Love that there is no end credits because the people who made the credits were sacked.
"He ain't gon' be Chaste no more!" He went from being chaste to being chased! 😝
In Xena, warrior princess, there's an episode where Gabrielle gets viciously attacked by a rabbit. I saw it as a kid and had no idea of what was going on. Now I know where it comes from.
Tim the Enchanter was supposed to have a long and complicated name, but in the scene when Arthur asks him his name, John Cleese completely forgot it, and just went with Tim on the spur of the moment, and everyone else just went along with it :P
I also love how they always yell "RUN AWAY!" because 'retreat' is a French word and during this time period the Normans hadn't invaded England yet :P
I'm glad you liked "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" :) It's 1 of my favorite movies, right under JP!
A collective “You’re welcome” from all of us 😌🙏
You CAN watch this on the stage - it was adapted into the successful West End musical "Spamalot" :)
The animator Terry Gilligan was American (Minnesota) since a British citizen, and has done other famous film directing, 13 feature films, including Time Bandits (1981), Brazil (1985), The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988), The Fisher King (1991), 12 Monkeys (1995), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998), The Brothers Grimm (2005), Tideland (2005), and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009). Being the only Monty Python member not born in Britain, he became a naturalised British subject in 1968 and formally renounced his American citizenship in 2006. Wikipedia. Connie Booth (born 2 December 1940[1][a]) is an American-born actress and writer, she played the "witch", so as always Wikipedia is not always to be trusted completely.
Carol Cleveland, Zoot (born 13 January 1942) is a British-American actress and comedian, particularly known for her work with Monty Python.
This was actually turned into a Broadway musical but was named Spamelot
Python are Gods in the comedy world. There is a reason that their last every stage performance was broadcast live, worldwide! I'd highly recommend checking that out if you want to see Python at their greatest. The shows name is, One down, five to go.
