Patsy, the first guy with the coconuts, was played by the same guy who played the Old Man in Scene 24. He was also the director, animator, and the only American in the group.

[@Tateorsomething]

Not to mention he was the director of several other terrific movies like Time Bandits, Brazil, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, 12 Monkeys, Fisher King etc.

​@Tateorsomething Time Bandits is one of my favorite movies!! Great fantasy and love the Sean Connery segment.

Terry was also credited with being the gorilla hand that turned the book pages which, I personally think, was completely overlooked by the academy.

[@stephanginther9051]

Pretty sure that's where the movie 'Kung Pow' got it. I believe the writers of Kung Pow took a lot from _this_ movie now that I think about it. If you haven't seen it, Kung Pow is a spoof of 80's kung fu movies out of Hong Kong and...well Cheech of Cheech and Chong is the narrator. Need I say more?

[@wallyman292]

Then to have him suddenly appear at the gate, catching the guards completely unaware is the icing on the cake! Pure Monty Python right there! ;)

[@keeperofthecheese]

Agreed ! Lancelots "running gag" is one of the most genius visual jokes ever.

[@m.cigledy6769]

That gag was duplicated in Kung Pow as a tribute to Monty Python.

[@charlesedwards2856]

Don’t know if anyone ever mentioned this in the other comments, but the knights were framed for the murder. The historian was killed by someone actually riding a horse, whereas the knights and Arthur didn’t have horses, just coconuts, because they couldn’t afford horses in the budget.

[@garylee3685]

The witch said "it's a fair cop" which means she WAS a witch. I mean, she did weigh the same as a duck, after all.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Yep. Witch trials usually involved "tests" that were almost impossible to pass. This one should've been impossible to fail, unless she WAS a witch.

[@charlesedwards2856]

She was saying it sarcastically, but it was very dry in the delivery. The only other thing I could think she would mean by that is that she went along with the batshit crazy logic he put out there about how to prove she was a witch. HOWEVER, like the ladies mentioned, the scales were clearly rigged with the one for the duck already being much lower, so she really wasn’t a witch.

[@garylee3685]

@charlesedwards2856 disagree, she didn't fit it at all. And i don't see sarcasm. If the scales were rigged at all it was for the movie, to balance them. It's funnier if she Is a witch, so they wrote it that way.

[@bfdidc6604]

@@garylee3685 Yes, she was a witch, which means she probably escaped burning, unlike all those stupid innocent people.

[@30noir]

'fair cop' in this context means guilty by the criteria they suggested - based on comparing her weight to a duck. I don't think this was a confession of witchcraft at all.

I grew up with this movie. I saw it as a young child in the theater with my uncle (along with all the Mel Brooks movies). I saw it in theaters over the years in special showings and limited releases. I've watched the movie countess times, equally matched by the number of reactions I have watched. That being said, I have never experienced, encountered, or seen someone who so compassionately cared about the health and feeding of the coconut horses. Ryl, after almost five decades of watching this brilliant film, you have given me something new to consider. That is a rare gift.

[@pandafan4672]

I saw this in theaters when it first came out. The number of people that just sat in their seats at the end, staring at the black screen, was hysterical. I don't know if to this day they realized they were the joke.

1975, that's a very long time ago - thanks... i was born in 1975 - great year 😎🤘 Respect & Peace ☘

[@MarcosElMalo2]

The “chronological inconsistency” isn’t supposed to make sense. The mass arrest was just an absurd way to end it. It’s just a very silly movie. In the witch burning scene, the joke is that she really was a witch (because she was made of wood, I guess?). This was a thoroughly enjoyable reaction. I think you both got into the spirit of the thing.

[@mikejankowski6321]

"It's a fair cop" reveals the truth of this conclusion. Some of their TV sketches ended with the players being arrested for being too silly. One of their trademark moves.

“That rabbit is the most foul-tempered rodent ye ever laid eyes on!! Look at the bones!!!”

[@waterbeauty85]

7:55 "I guess she is a witch." Yes. That's why she says "It's a fair cop" which the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines as something you say "to admit that you did something wrong and were caught fairly." The fact that they used such absurd "logic" but turned out to be right is the joke.

[@randybass8842]

I think it was a different castle at the end than earlier, even though it was the same Frenchman taunting them. My favorite scene was the people packing mud in the field discussing their form of government compared to Arthur's story of how he became king.

[@_Shadoh_]

In the story of the movie yes, but iirc in reality it WAS the same castle used in all the castle scenes 😉

[@pirbird14]

No one ever finds the Grail. The original author died without finishing the story. Subsequent additions to the original are stories about the search, and about how the adventures during the journey change the seekers. This general theme has been dubbed "The Hero's Journey" by folklorist Joseph Campbell.

This movie was absolutely *huge* in nerd/geek circles back in the 70s and 80s (at least) when I was a kid and teen. There are *so* many quotes from the movie and we'd use every opportunity to use them in conversation. "Tis but a scratch" and "It's just a flesh wound" any time you got hurt, "I got better" when something went right, "He's not to leave, even if you come and get him" if you didn't understand what someone told you, "let me face the peril!", "she's got huge.... tracts of land", "and there was much rejoicing", "a moose once bit my sister", etc. and of course all the various insults the French soldier said including the "Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!" Everything in the movie is a joke or troll... the intermission, even... back then it wasn't uncommon to have an intermission but this one is so short that the audience would likely get up and make their way down the row only to have to run back to their seats.

[@wallyman292]

'scuse me, but my best friend in high school and I absolutely loved this movie, and even got our Senior year English teacher to play it for the class before Xmas break back in '83, and neither of us were either a geek or a nerd! ;) ps: The best part of the "She's got huge. . . tracts of land!" is him holding his hands out in front of him to show exactly what he was referring to at the time! lol!

[@MrBendylaw]

'You have to know these things to be king' is an incredibly useful statement; it has gotten me into and out of fights, resolved differences with women, and made children laugh. Don't say it if you aren't 100% convinced you're the king, though. Man, that'll get you messed up.

[@joerenaud8292]

This was priceless watching you two trying to make sense out of pure silly humor. Thanks for the laugh. Nothing made sense because it wasn't supposed to make sense due to budget restraints and the speed at how fast they needed to film this movie. Monty Python is a comedy troop of guys in the UK who had a half hour show in Britain which this movie followed the same utter craziness that their half hour show was based on. Some day you 2 should watch their half hour show so you get an idea where this all started from.

[@YN97WA]

To those of us who grew up watching Monty Python, the ending makes perfect sense. They often ended their TV sketches with no apparent ending. Great reaction, young ladies.

[@batape1965]

The thing that makes this movie work is that the silliness is juxtaposed by these very serious moments. Arthur doing his short speeches, the Black Knight menacingly declaring "None shall pass", Lancelot bravely stating "Ask me your questions, Bridgekeeper. I am not afraid!". As an audience member, I BELIEVE these brief dramatic scenes. I get pulled into the characters' peril. And then, the rabbit POUNCES. Your reaction was great. Your flashing smiles and real laughter were a delight.

[@davidstraight3622]

The Crown will have a very difficult time convicting King Arthur, Sir Bedevere and Sir Lancelot of murdering the famous historian. Defence counsel will argue that the perpetrator of the crime was riding a horse, and the three defendants had no horses, only servants banging coconuts together. Defence counsel could also point out that all the defendants, King Arthur, Sir Bedevere and Sir Lancelot, were fictional characters, and even if they had been “real persons” at some point in history, they would have been dead long before the crime was committed.

The coconut horsey thing was partly a result of the low budget they had to work with...but they went with it and the film was more hilarious because. 4. The cast members hated the filming as the weather was pretty bad. 5. Congratulations ladies - you are the only reactors I've seen who noticed the chicken on Sir Robin's shield. Bravo!

The man tying a coconut to a pigeon and tossing it in the air right before the "witch" scene makes it all the more hilarious! Then of course the bridge tender asking for the average velocity of an "un-laden" swallow is just great comedy writing!

Your enjoyment of this absurd silliness was delightful. You got all the jokes and visuals, and Ryl's comments about the "horses" cracked me up! This is typical Monty Python humor, so was the "cop out" ending. They trolled the audience with the short intermission (imagine getting up in the theater to go get a drink just to have to sit down right away) and the black screen ending with the music, leaving folks to wonder if it is really over. Just like the French trolling the king about the grail. Great reaction, you packed a lot of choice moments in where others leave them out.

"Those horses must be tired." Aaaaaaahhhhh! I see you get the spirit of it! ;) For context: the reason they used coconuts to simulates horses is because there was no money in the budget for actual horses. So Monty Python had to resort to turning their predicament into a visual gag. Budget is also the reason there's no end credits. A lot of the gags in this film were born mostly out of budgetary limits.

Another excellent reaction -- but the ending was meant to be a literal and metaphorical _cop out._ Watch this film a second time and you'll spot even more jokes. For example, read the credits at the beginning more carefully (freeze the video so you can), they are full of hidden jokes. The two castles with the French guys in them weren't the same. The first was in a wooded area, the second was on a tiny island in the middle of a lake. The French guy lied, they didn't have the Grail, no one had it. As others have pointed out -- it isn't supposed to make sense.

You can't over-analyze, or really even try to make any sense of what happens and just laugh at the absurdity of it all! Here's a test. . .During the scene with the witch where people are shouting out "things that float", one guy yells out "very small pebbles!". Now if you laugh at this, you get the humor of Monty Python! If you instead shake your head and think how stupid that is, then you don't! Back in high school, my best friend and I talked our English teacher into playing this movie for the class right before Christmas break (turns out she was a fan as well!). The 3 of us, plus maybe 3 or 4 others in the class, laughed start to finish. The rest of the class just kind of stared at the screen in bewilderment! lol!

I think the reason the knights were using coconuts was because the production could not afford to rent the horses. I've read that somewhere or seen it in a documentary.
