  • @gokaury

    "Your father smelt of elderberries!" The French knight is essentially calling Arthur's father a drunkard. In medieval times, many alcoholic beverages were made from the elderberry. And if there is anyone out there that can taunt someone, especially in a stream of consciousness manner, it would be John Cleese, the actor who played the French knight and Sir Lancelot. He's hilarious.
    And I love the cop out ending. They literally and figuratively ended the movie with a double entendre. It was chiefly because of two things: 1) the Pythons didn't know how to end it and 2) they ran out of the funds to film a conclusive ending. Such a clever and original movie. The Monty Python comedy troupe were ahead of their time.
    I love that you seem to understand their type of comedy so, on your own time, I would highly recommend you watch their BBC comedy show "Monty Python's Flying Circus." That show has some of the funniest and most hilariously surreal comedy that has ever been broadcast over the air waves. I very much doubt you'd be disappointed at all.

The words are modern, but the equivalent words for the time would have fit well. I'm not sure whether I believe it or not, but the Pythons were all highly educated so it's possible.

    "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"
    Fun Fact: The famous depiction of galloping horses by using coconut shells (a traditional radio-show sound effect) came about from the purely practical reason that the production simply could not afford real horses.
    Metal Funding Fact: Funds earned by Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon (1973) went towards funding this movie. The band were such fans of the show, they would halt recording sessions just to watch Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969). Led Zeppelin and Genesis contributed to this movie's budget as well.
    Swallow This Fact: The airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow is roughly eleven meters per second, or twenty-four miles per hour, beating its wings seven to nine times per second rather than forty-three. It's true: A five-ounce bird cannot carry a one pound coconut, but furthermore, no swallow weighs five ounces. The English barn swallow weighs only twenty grams (two-thirds of an ounce).
    Historical Fact: The French tactic of pelting Arthur and his knights with livestock echoes the relatively modern legend of a medieval siege of the fortified southern French town of Carcassonne. Said to have been near starvation, the townspeople used the last of their food to pelt the besieging army to convince them, suffering likewise, that the town was well stocked with food and that the siege was hopeless. The tactic was successful, and the siege was lifted.

    Funny thing is "killer rabbit" is a recurring character in Medieval artwork; sometimes posing as a lancer in human armor, and other times sniping fools with a longbow.
    Between that and the Frenchman's period-accurate trash-talking, this film is more historically rooted than it lets on

    I loved the "coconut" conversation(s), the "song of Sir Robin", the Black Night scene and the "Bridge of Death" scene the most. Now, I want to tell you to not feel bad about the "going on the cart" scene ... EVERY reactor seems to have not learned about that part of history in school, or don't pick up on it when they see the scene but, there was a plague all over Europe back then (it really happened between 1346 and 1351, NOT in 932.AD) called, The Black Plague.
    FYI, when it hit, so many people were dying all at once that the only way to dispose of the bodies is to put them on carts, haul them away and burn them, en masse. Unfortunately, it's what really made the plague worse, because the germs were NOT killed by fire and just became airborne, making it even worse than it already was. Anyway, THAT is what that scene was referring to.

    Fun fact: it used to be very common to have the credits at the start of the film. It wasn't until the late 60s that they started putting them at the end. It was a way to make sure everyone was acknowledged for their effort, not just the stars, the director, and producers. As film making became more advanced and complicated they needed larger crews (making the credits longer), so now it just makes to have them always put to the end because otherwise it would be too time consuming for audiences. When this film was made, credits at the beginning was still normal.

    The trivia on this movie is just UNBELIEVABLE! There’s just too much of it.; from the actual historical references to the reasons they filmed the way they did.
    I’ll just drop the one: the screamed “Run away” because it’s set before the French conquered England. The French word “retreat” hadn’t entered the language yet.

    These boys were geniuses. Before this movie they had the TV Show, Monty Python's Flying Circus. As they were planning out the final season and trying to work on a fallow up movie idea, they suddenly noticed the returning final season bit of Arthur and the Holy Grail would actually play better as the movie. So as the final episodes were going out, the boys were looking up locations, and finding out despite having a higher budget, they still needed to cut things, in the end gave up on hiring horses for the film, making locations for a couple of decent sized castles possible to film at. Did so well, they made at least 2 more films before also going into solo film careers in the mid 80's, and time and again having some fun cameo work with each other. They lost a few members over the years, but were always up for a reunion run when it came up, and always kept in touch.

    The French called him "Arthur, King" and then called the knights (he pronounced it funny, treating the "K" like a separate syllable, which the French often do, and then did something similar with the multiple consonants at the end, so Knights came out like) "Ken-Nig-its". It took me YEARS to realize what he was saying.
    I didn't see anyone else mention this, so I will ... they ran out of ideas so, the end of the movie is a literal "cop-out".

  • @tofersiefken

    If you like this movie, and it seems you really "got" its style of humor, you should check out Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life" (1983). It has the same sense of humor, but is more "segmented" into thematic sketches like their television series "Monty Python's Flying Circus".

    A fair number of people who watch this ending for the 1st time, get angry, upset & disappointed. They cant get past not knowing what happens, or rather, not getting a traditionally happy conclusion to the story / quest for the grail. Python is just fucking with the audience & it's beautiful!
    It's really great to see you appreciate & get the joke at the end!

    Fun fact: Eric Idle when playing the guy who's picking up dead people is asked by John Cleese's character as Arthur is "galloping" along, "Who's that then?" Idle's response "Don't know, must be a king." Cleese asks "Why"? Idle's response, "Cause he hasn't got shit all over him." That was completely ad libbed

    Those guys were legitimately ahead of their time. The word PYTHONESQUE is in the dictionary because of them.
    The same handful of guys wrote the screenplay and also played many different parts. Michael Palin for instance played the innocent Sir Galahad and also the Constitutional Peasant who accused King Arthur of oppressing him. The filthy woman with him (Terry Jones) was also Sir Bedevere and the young man in Swamp Castle who just wanted to sing. John Cleese was Sir Lancelot, the French insulter, and the sorcerer named Tim.
    This was essentially an expanded version of their amazing TV series, Monty Python's Flying Circus.

    the latin chant you hear the monks doing, and Arthur's clergymen do during the reveal of the Holy Hand Grenade is an excerpt from the Dies Irae which goes "Pie Jesu Domine, Dona eis requiem" which pretty much translates to "Dear Lord Jesus, please give us a break", which fits the purpose.

A friend of mine lived with his older brother, who had an old-school bigscreen and a wicked sound system, and we'd ditch school for days at a time to hang out and party. We'd always get caught out by our folks sooner or later, but MAN we had some good times.
