Terry Gilliam: "Hey guys, can I make this epic 16-minute standalone short with insane production values before our movie begins?" Rest of Monty Python: "Sure, go right ahead!"
I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again If The Crimson Permanent Assurance was a full length feature it would have been one of the most monumental & beloved pieces in cinematic history.
What a hoot all those old actors must have had every day on set making that! ... and probably with no fkn idea how their antics were going to fit in to the final epic story.
When this part of the movie ended, I thought that was the actual show. I was like "who the frick would want to buy such a short movie?" Beyond Creative.
I stumbled on this accidentally when watching a clip of Meaning of Life. (Still haven't seen the whole thing outside those Fandago clips) But recently i saw this part in this boardroom with these execs talking about the stuff they owned until the ship building showed up interrupting the scene. I couldn't hear the name Idol yelled, but it sounded like THE CRIMSON PIRATES OF ZURICH, or something like that. But it sounded really funny and interesting. And now seeing a longer clip in context you've posted here, WOW, this looks ANAZING with a whole lot of whimsy!❤❤❤❤ Thank u for posting this clip and keeping it around all these years and not getting UA-cam snapped. 🙏🏽❤️❤️
Whaaaa dude you really are in the minority on that one Im afraid, this is pure genius (unless you dont get british humor which in that case stick to nice american sitcoms)
But why did this uploader of "Part 1+2" cut out the most subversive scene of all - the executive boardroom meeting(link) which also actually features most of the Python team? Here's what the uploader conspicuously cut out: ua-cam.com/video/aSO9OFJNMBA/v-deo.htmlsi=6tFxTmwD27G1IH_T PS. No comment-posters seem to have noticed this cunning omission - so it seems that most of you aren't quite as savvy and razor-sharp as you seem to think you are.. Paul G

They intended it as animation, in Meaning of Life. But Gilliam didn't feel it fit with the rest of the film so it became its own feature.
I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again

The imagination involved in this film is flawless.
This was the most expencive AND the most EPIC one of ANY Monty Python sketches!!!!
The scene when the raise the anchor and it pulls from the sidewalk always gets me.
Right? Like before then it's just a funny bit, but at that point it's like, Oh no, they thought this THROUGH.
4:38-4:44 There is something so quintessentially British about pushing a man to his death, with a proper "sorry". 🤣
The music in this is absolutely beautiful...
Yes! That's what I think every time I watch this clip!

Terry Gilliam is brilliant 😊 his animation was just off the wall. ☺️

Beyond Creative.
the occupy wall street camp should contact the Crimson Permanent assurance, they might be able to help them!
Two viewers are corporate bankers.
I'm pretty sure it's illegal for anything to be this good.
"And you, put the kettle on!"
Aye, Sir! 🫡
One of the BEST Monty Python bits EVER!

The actors all died on the brink of a sequel. Age waits for no man and very few women. Hence the absence of ladies in this epic...
Who here wants to bet this skit inspired the candy pirates in codename knd?
Nigel Hawthorne at 5:24 and 5:34
Currently Funimation and their “customers”
When will anyone make a WallStreetsBets video meme out of this?
Whaaaa dude you really are in the minority on that one Im afraid, this is pure genius (unless you dont get british humor which in that case stick to nice american sitcoms)
