Imagine dying at work, being brought back to life and still having to go back to work for the same company.. That really sucks..

I FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION

The Sword in the Stone was Arthur's other sword, he got Excalibur from the lady of the lake.

They didn't have the budget for horses, let alone a big battle.

- The "remake" you mentioned is actually a prequel that focuses on what happened at the Norwegian camp before the American camp got to it. - There was a stop-motion scene in the filming (the giant monster scene), but it was edited out of the movie. Too cheesy. - Another scene edited out was Fuchs' death. They just left in finding his glasses. - A scene left out was the marijuana "farm" at the camp. - The Norris-Thing chest monster scene was done by an actual double amputee who was fitted with prosthetic arms. - Blair was probably infected when doing the autopsy. He used a pencil to poke around the remains, then put the pencil's contaminated eraser to his mouth. - At the end, if MacReady was the Thing, he would've infected Childs by passing the whiskey bottle to him. MacReady did have a suspicious smile after Childs took a swig. If both men froze to death, the world would still be infected. Rescuers would recover both bodies. As MacReady said earlier, that Thing wanted to freeze so it could be found again by rescuers who would become infected and spread it throughout the world in about 3 years.

It's a wrongful arrest of Launcelot, Arthur and Bedivere. The knight who killed Frank the Famous Historian was on an _actual_ horse, which none of the Knights of Round Table had 🫤

Monty Python member Terry Gilliam directed "The Fisher King" (1991), starring Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges. I feel Robin's character in that movie was meant to be similar to the knights in this one.

Because of Monty Python a new word entered the English language to describe their type of humour - Pythonesque

The monks hitting themselves is a reference to the Flagellants. During the period of the Black Death groups of people went from village to village scourging themselves, whipping themselves and inflicting other punishments on their bodies, in the belief that their suffering, mirroring that of Christ, would show their penitence and ward of the black death (which was seen as God's punishment for the wickedness in society). Even today some individuals and Christian cults still practice self flagellation,

love how this generation constantly refer to " breaking the 4th wall, " instead of simply - talks to camera - as exemplified by Michael Caine in " Alfie ," - 60 years earlier.

There's an animated version of the Genesis song "Supper's Ready" available on UA-cam. The person who created the animation included this King Arthur and his holy hand grenade in one part of the song.

Shoutout to Mick Fleetwood cameo as Mick - one of the founders of the band Fleetwood Mac . His comment about banning all his songs..

When i first watched this movie, I was laughing my head at just the subtitles during the opening credits.

The original generation watching this film had a TON of advantages new audiences lack. In the theatre, there were soooo many fans of the MP TV show that they understood HOW to watch it, understood when they heard the beginnings of The Running Gag (moose, llamas, coconuts vs. swallow's air-speed velocity) and I think EVERYONE knew what a Newt was. And most everyone was familiar with Europe's black-death era, the Plague and the whole "bring out yer dead" wagon. As well as the Trojan BUNNY and how hilarious that was as a gag. These led to in-theater whispers, "Don't you remember World History?" and "Just wait for moose and llama bits" which never happened. A joke's in that, too.

Sir Galahad can't count either. "Eight score" is 160, not 150. He wants to underestimate the danger.

Like casting pearls before swine

More about them than the film-constant interruptions and not worth watching.

The Holy Grail is literally a chalice.

The monks banging their heads with bibles, are what we call in the UK; Bible Bashers, people who are always shoving religion in your face.

How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these kind of things if you’re a king you know.😅

LOL I was never a fan of Monty Python when I was at school (mid-late 80s) but I realised some years back that it was because I had a friend that forever get 'banging on and on and on about it' I mean endlessly quoting. It drove me mad. Anyway I gave it a try again in my 40s (by myself, no Monty Python #1 fan next to me) and found it all really funny. Needless to say I now own the series, all the movies and even the early pre-Monty tv shows on dvd. Wacky humour but even those that are not ultra fans, surely find a few jokes funny :) Thanks guys!

" 'Ere. 'E says 'e's not dead." A perfect example of postwar British comedy writing, the surreal irony of Spike Milligan that has been part of the fabric of British comedy ever since.

Interesting fact: Monty Python has been referenced in the Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, and in games and films such as Ready Player One by Stephen Spielberg! (The holy Hand grenade).

minstrels were medevil musicians..

"there's some funny parts".... followed by a long list of those things that landed.... 😂

the animation was done by Terry Gilliam who went on to produce the likes of Brazil and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

There are silent films in the 20's that broke the 4th wall. Bob Hope movies in the 40's did it all the time, too. They couldn't afford a big battle scene, or horses.

1. What about the moose? 2. Paying attention to the opening credits (If you can) makes it better for everyone, including you. 3. The first time I saw this was in the back of a pickup at a drive-in (it's still here) with my siblings and a couple of friends. 4. Perfect Monty Python where you can just get sucked into something where you don't have to think about anything and just let yourself go. 5. "What ya gonna do? Bleed on me."🤣 "We'll call it a draw" 🤣 6. Quick bit: "Blow it out your ass"! 7. The ultimate cock block 😭 8. Robin's shield is a chicken. 9.The only horse in the film is ridden by the guy that killed the historian. 10.The ending sucked. It was a cop out. Literally They ran out of 🤑🤑

Such an American thing to go instantly to, "She can sue him, right?"

Life of Brian, the Holy Grail, and the Meaning of Life... five of my favorite films.

PG

I've watched A LOT of reactions to this movie you guys have been the most disingenuous so far.

one of my favorite breaking of the 4th wall is in a marx brothers movie. chico is about to play a song on the piano,and groucho looks into the camera and says, "i have to stay here,but there's no reason you folks shouldn't go into the lobby until this blows over". interesting fact: the scene where dingo breaks the 4th wall in "holy grail" was cut from the original theatrical release. it was added back in for the dvd version.

If you want a strong non comedic version of the King Arthur story, try out the very violent Excalibur (1981).

Had King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table actually completed their quest and found the grail, Indiana Jones would have been out if a job. No mooses were harmed in the making of this documentary.

"I found some parts would hit with me, and some parts maybe not so much." That's Monty Python in a nutshell. Their humor is all over the place. A lot of it is intelligent and sophisticated ("Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony"), but they're also not afraid to go for cheap laughs like silly names ("I am Zoot's identical twin sister, Dingo") and nonsense words ("Ni!"), and some of it is completely random ("You must cut down the mightiest tree in the the forest with... a herring!"). And breaking the fourth wall ("... when suddenly, the animator suffered a fatal heart attack!") is just par for the course for them. Personally I prefer clever humor over dumb humor, and Monty Python has plenty of both. And even some of their dumb humor is hilarious. But yeah, it's kind of hit and miss. This movie is basically just an extended episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus. The main difference is that Flying Circus is a sketch comedy show, so it rarely has a consistent narrative from beginning to end.

Your lukewarm reaction to this comedy masterpiece baffles me. What a shame.

Unfortunately, they only had a limit amount of funding to make this movie. So that is why they had to use the coconuts. The end of the movie is where they ran out of money and had to end abruptly.

Merlin?! They couldn’t even afford horses (I mean, that one horse wasn’t even theirs, and it just so happened that a mounted knight with a vendetta against famous historians was in the area during that scene), and you think they’d really have the wizard budget for Merlin? Now _that_ is just silly. Well, I shall forgive you this time, for your bravery in this perilous reaction, and shall, therefore, not say Ni to you again.

Ni !!!

Abbott and Costello broke the 4th wall in many of their movies. But, right before Monty Python put out The Holy Grail a movie came out that took the 4th wall and twisted it into a pretzel, then beat it with a rubber hose: Blazing Saddles.

Just a flesh wound!

The concept of the fourth wall is fairly recent in the history of drama. But characters technically breaking the fourth wall has existed for a very long time, even back to the ancient Greeks.

The horses got cut from the budget

ED-209 was a prototype, probably needed a few software updates to master the stairs! 😜

Monty Python humour is definitely different. Not every joke works for everyone, that was true of their tv series as well, but the ones that do land are very funny. The members of Monty Python are all really well educated, and there are definite depths to their humour if you're in the know. The battle of the black knight vs the green knight, the story of the Lady in the Lake, even down to the way they always say "run away" rather than "retreat" because the word "retreat" is of French origin and wouldn't have been available in English until after William the Conqueror - there's always more to know and learn... but then, a lot of it is just fun for fun's sake too :)

This is my favourite Monty Python movie. Your 3/5 is fair, if you're not used to this type of humour. I've seen a couple of reactors barely laugh at all watching this, so at least you had a better time than them. In my experience us Europeans find Monty Python (both the movies and their TV show) funnier than North Americans do. I guess we are used to different types of comedy, and there's nothing wrong with that. In Europe a lot of people hate the laugh tracks that American comedy shows often have. For example here in Finland the dry and sarcastic British humour has always been very popular.

I have a video of me and my friends quoting this movie back in the 80’s! I love the channel, don’t give up! It takes time to build then out of nowhere it’ll boom. I Love both of you. Richard, you’re a handsome guy but Jane has got to be THE most beautiful woman on UA-cam! I know it’s not about looks, but I’m just a weirdo on UA-cam and wanted to throw out a compliment to Jane. Everyone likes a little ego boost! Thanks for the reactions you two!

when i first saw this, i mustv been in the right mode to enjoy it, because i really did, but then it actually started giving me a bad vibe later on, so its weird in that way, and i dont blame any reactors that arent feeling it, but i still enjoy when a reactor is feeling it

Im not smart enough for this movie i didnt get it 😭
