Also back in 1975 it wasn't *all* that long since movies all had their credits at the beginning. Look back into the 50s and 60s and all films had credits at the beginning and just a single "The End" screen at the end.

The first rule of Monty Python comedy is, there are no rules. Nothing has to make sense, it just has to be funny, and this movie is funny, hilarious, absurd, shocking, unexpected and down right silly. And that's the point of Monty Pythion humor.

This movie was *huge* in geek/nerd culture back in the 70s and 80s. We'd go around quoting lines from it all the time... "a moose once bit my sister", "tis but a scratch", "it's just a flesh wound", "Ni!", "she's got huge... tracts of land", "let me face the peril!" "no, it's too perilous", etc. etc. etc. The movie started as soon as the credits started rolling at the very start... there are a bunch of jokes in it. Your reaction was great :) My favorite skit is Launcelot at the wedding.

Originally the knight characters were going to ride real horses, but after it became clear that the film’s small budget precluded real horses, the Pythons decided that their characters would mime horse-riding while their porters trotted behind them banging coconut shells together.......The film’s initial budget of approximately $319,000 was raised by convincing 10 separate investors to pitch in. It was funded by a coalition of rock stars and record labels such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Jethro Tull, Island Records, Chrysalis Records and Michael White. Still a classic film to this day.

It wasn't that Sir Gallahad didn't understand what was going on with all those women in the castle Anthrax, it was that he is "Sir Gallahad the Pure" or "Sir Gallahad the Chaste". Giving into the woman's temptation would've contradict his oath of chastity.

@@deving9793 Most men would have. Galahad's entire thing was that he was the only one of the Knights of the Round Table to ever achieve finding the Holy Grail-the cup used by Jesus during the Last Supper and that supposedly was used to catch his blood during the crucifixion-because Galahad was the only one who was pure and virtuous enough to do so (the mission God charged King Arthur and his knights to do). If memory serves, Galahad finally locates it then dies shortly after, a virgin, because he's *that* pure. Pretty much his entire life was dedicated to just serving that purpose. The movie's a satire of Arthurian legend, that the knight whose entire thing is his purity is the one faced with an entire castl full of nubile teens, some not legal, but who're all horny, and that he wasn't pure enough to resist temptation.

I remember reading that the phrase "Run Away" was used to be historically accurate. In the time this was supposed to have occurred, there had not been much interaction between the English and the French, and "Retreat" is a French word that would not have been know at the time. Over time many French words morphed into usage within the English language.

Those monks chanting and smacking themselves with a board in the face are a reference to the various kinds of christian religious orders of the time such as "Flagellants" who would whip or scourge themselves to purge sin from their bodies. The chant in the film is a real latin monastic chant which reads "Pie Jesu Dominae-" (Merciful Lord Jesus) "Dona Aes Requiem" (Grant Us Rest) and can be translated directly as "Oh Jesus please give us a break!"

Devin, these movies confused you because you lacked context. Monty Python isn't a person, it's a comedy troupe from Britain. Most people who saw this movie before the new millennium had already seen their show (Monty Python's Flying Circus) and knew what to expect. Look that up, and you'll understand way more about the MP movies. Also, British comedy is an acquired taste for Americans. I grew up on it, so I nearly pissed myself the first time I saw this movie. If it's not your thing, that's fine... but at least give more of it a try, just to say you put effort into finding out for sure.

Movies up until the late 70s had the credits at the start of the movie but you really should have paid more attention to them as they are part of the comedy. The "Swedish" sub-titles, the mooses in the credits, the llamas in the replacement credits etc etc. One of the things in this movie is that they screw with the audience and their expectations so for instance you have an intermission almost at the end of the movie rather than in the middle so when this was shown in cinemas a lot of the audience would get up to buy an ice cream or pop to the toilet only to have to rush back to their seats when the intermission turned out to be so short and of course you had the music and black screen at the end leaving people in the cinema waiting to see whether that was really the end or whether there was more. (Of course the in movie reason for the lack of credits at the end was also because the credits were at the beginning and those responsible for providing the credits had been sacked so couldn't provide anything at all at the end).

The Deadly Rabbit is a sort of broad reference to some of the wacky stuff monks would illustrate around the edges of pages for manuscripts they were working on, things like Knights doing battle with giant snails and rabbits wearing plate armor and other silly ideas.

A lot of the animation was based this "marginalia", such as the trumpets up the backside. Terry Jones was a historian, so much of the weirdest stuff in the film is based on reality (or mediaeval suppositions).

@@deving9793 apparently still quite active in the Philippines, Spain, Mexico and Colombia. The modern catholic sect “Opus Dei” still practice it though obviously modified for more modern things. You see one in the form of the albino monk in “the Da Vinci code” with the self whipping and the use of a cilice. Edit: if you google the movie title with “historical accuracy”, you actually find that a lot of the jokes that make no sense like the catapulting of a cow actually had a historical basis. In medieval times, they would launch infected animals as a form of biological warfare to try and infect the populace of a castle so they would surrender or die from plague.

The Holy Grail is the entry point for almost everyone to Monty Python.

The troupe really shines in Flying Circus, though, because of the sketch comedy format.

The Monty Python team, apart from the American animator Terry Gilliam, were educated at Oxford and Cambridge with Terry Jones being a medieval historian.
