Shortly after this movie came out I was in the Army stationed in Germany. I took a leave and went to visit England. At Customs I was chatting with the Customs agent and could see that he had a sense of humor like my own. He asked what my reason for entering England was (standard question at customs) and I replied "I'm just looking for Castle Anthrax." He looked at me for a moment, smiled and said "We all are mate.".

As are the insults that the French taunters hurl at Arthur. Those were period correct taunts. Hamsters were kept as food animals and procreated very quickly so they were constantly mating and elderberries were often used to make wine as grapes weren't as common as they are now so if you smelled of elderberries you were a drunk. So he called King Arthur's mother a slut and his father a drunk.

I remember an interview of one of the cast members a few years ago. Apparently the castle where Lancelot killed a bunch of wedding guests was a tourist attraction and they couldn't close it off. The best part is how he explained talking to tourists coming into the castle, Him; Excuse me but we're trying to film a movie here. Did you want to play a part? Tourist; no we really need to get going. Him; we'll buy you lunch. Tourist; Oh all right then! So apparently most of the wedding guests were tourists who got paid a sandwich for their role.

It's a shame how many people won't even watch this just because it's old and a "small film". The budget for this was ridiculously small, even for the times. They had actually planned to use real horses until they realized that there was no way they could afford them. The coconuts were an improvisation. That's also one castle you're seeing over and over again. I think the most expensive thing in the whole film was the "sh*tty house with a rabbit's head" they had to build just so they could destroy it. Talk about making something from nothing. Brilliant.

[@questworldiangreenknight7455]

HOW COULD SOMEONE NOT WATCH THIS?! IT SHOULD BE REQUIRED OF FILM ENTHUSIASTS 😂😂😂😂😂

[@michaelccozens]

Another really cool thing about the budget is that the financing came largely from bands like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Jethro Tull. Studios wouldn't touch the film, as it was the Pythons' first effort and they were incredibly subversive, so the troupe resorted to pitching it to bands as a UK tax write-off. The whole film was done for slightly over $400 000 in 1974 US dollars (a little over $2.25 mil US in 2022). For comparison, John Carpenter's "Halloween" (1978) had roughly the same budget, and he didn't have to fund an army.

[@chrisofnottingham]

The key to Monty Python is that it is just silly. Sometimes it is accidentally clever or deep but it all starts from being just being silly. You are correct about this movie basically being written as a series of individual sketches linked by a vague and largely irrelevant narrative, rather than a story broken down into scenes.

[@SandJosieph]

More like the "flaw" is part of the conceit with everything playing out logically.

[@WaltBTB]

Funny thing about the coconuts is that they used them instead of horses simply because they didn't have enough money in the budget to afford real horses for the film. The result was using coconuts which in itself became one of the best running gags of the movie :)

[@davidq.5488]

The only scene with a horse was the "Pictures for schools, take 8"; "Famous Historian." But you're right, budget.

[@malcolmdrake6137]

You have the facts...backwards.

[@crimesforkibble6912]

The coconuts are actually an old time radio thing before there was television people would listen to radio plays and they would use coconuts to simulate the sound of a horse galloping that and the fact they had zero budget for actual horses is where the pythons got the idea you can find footage of them talking about it

[@FleasOfCamels]

The "no hose' thing that lead to the coconuts was actually more than just a lack of budget for horses. Graham Chapman (who played Arthur, among others) was a raging alcoholic, frequently unable to function at all...plus he was terrified of horses.

[@Zenon0K]

A few times when my dad visited, he'd knock on the door, I'd ask "who is it?" and he would say, "it is I Roger, the Shrubber!" For whatever the reason, one of my favorite bits is that quick exchange of, "who are you?!" "I'm your son." "Not you!"

[@krashd]

"Bring out your dead!" was a real thing during plague times, men with carts would travel through towns collecting bodies to be disposed of. The black plague made Covid look tame in comparison, there were several huge outbreaks in Europe and Asia, the one in the movie is from the crusades era (around the year 1000) but the big one in the 1660's killed about a quarter of Europe's population so everyone would lose family and the dead carts would be on every street.

[@zeallust8542]

The black plague is seriously terrifying. Not the disease itself, but what it did. (That said, the symptoms are horrifying too, but its treatable now) Despite popular belief, the disease still exists and people still catch it from time to time. Covid was hardly a pandemic in comparison to what the black plague did to europe.

[@vandergrad]

"Bring out your dead" was referring to the days when plagues would kill off scores of people daily. The dead were carted off to mass graves as a public service. And the "She's a witch" scene points out the bizarre logic that sages, soothsayers, and 'learned men' used to explain the world around them. -- As always, what makes Python so wonderful is how willing they are to poke fun at the truth.

[@jeffmartin1026]

Monty Python's Flying Circus was their television show before this. The show was multiple skits in each episode which leads into the episodic nature of this film. This movie was financed by George Harrison and members of Pink Floyd among other musicians who were fans of the show.

[@krashd]

Flying Circus was a huge hit in the US at a time when very few British TV shows - let alone sketch comedy shows - made an impact over there. It just goes to show that we humans love surreal nonsense. Flying Circus was also a hit in many other countries, particularly Germany, to the extent that the guys even converted some of their sketches into German for that audience and performed the entire skits in German.

My brother asked literally a week ago if there was any sense keeping any of our cassettes and that was the only one we kept. I should burn it to CD (but my cassette/record to CD burner machine broke a year ago). Also, if you like horror type movies and found Parasite interesting there was a movie call The Host (2006) made by the same director as Parasite. I watched it years ago - has Doona Bae in it as the failed archer (and the child was Go Ah-Sung who was in "A Brand New Life" and another Bong Joon-Ho movie "Snowpeircer").

Great reaction! You seem to really enjoy this movie. There are two other Monty Python movies, which would be awesome to see you react. The next one is Life of Brian which is the best one, it pokes fun at the story of Jesus. The last movie is The Meaning of Life , which is a series of skits inspired from various stages in people’s life, it’s the more shocking and over the top of the three. The director of Holy Grail, Terry Gilliam also did Time Bandits, Brazil, 12 Monkeys, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Imaginarium of Doctor Panassus. All very interesting and weird movies which you might want to check out.

Terry Gilliam was the animator, and the first coconut guy. He went on to direct many movies, all brilliant. (Except they are a bit dark and cynical.) He seems to have a fixation on the loss of fantasy due to modernization, which is a wonderful theme. "The Fisher King" is his most approachable, featuring Robin Williams in a fantastic performance. Jeff Bridges also shines. "Brazil" is 1984 on acid. Thanks for a laugh filled reaction to this low budget masterpiece. We need that.

When I worked nights shifts at a company I won't mention, I used to roll a cart around to pick up test boards. I used to clang on it and yell "bring out your dead" 😂. About 3am

The thing that very few people put together is that the end makes perfect sense... Its a literal 'Cop out' :D

[@meatpie7166]

You guys should watch The Evil Dead (1981) Evil Dead 2 (1987) Predator (1987)

Guys you missed the very beginning the paragraph was important but I’m glad your laughing…British humor is so funny. Some people hate it! Please find the beginning & read it..it will come into play during the movie again! Really enjoying your channel & both of you make me feel at home 🏡. ✌🏻☀️

It seems to be hard to find episodes of the classic TV series "Monty Python's Flying Circus" these days, but many of their best sketches are re-enacted in the compilation film "And Now For Something Completely Different." It's Monty Python's first movie and well worth watching.

The best Dungeons & Dragons article I ever came across was "[Your Name] and the Holy Grail" in The Space Gamer magazine. The authors took many of the jokes from the movie and explained them in D&D terms. King Arthur had the power to summon an army once a year (the final scene); a character who seemingly died could "get better" one hit point at a time; if you obtained a pair of coconut halves, you could travel three times faster than simply traveling on foot (although technically you still were), etc. The Killer Rabbit is semi-officially known now as the "Vorpal Bunny" (after the D&D Vorpal Blade, which decapitates enemies, itself from Carroll's "Jabberwockey"). Despite the silliness, I think the general background, architecture, and sheer dirtiness depicted here is the most realistic version of the Dark Ages on film.

6:21 lmao just seeing a foot come into frame kicking his head

The bring out your dead part was in reference to the Black Plague which took out 50 percent of the population of Europe.

We last watched it on a big screen in the back yard with the rooster sitting on the arm of my chair absolutely fascinated.

So great to see your reactions, actually first saw this at the cinema with a gf , later bought the video in the 80’s , had to buy the dvd decades later. Watching you guys react made me laugh again after all these years. Thanks guys, try Life of Brian or The Meaning of Life next. Great films but Holy Grail for me is the classic.

[@surfpsych]

John Cleese agrees -- Grail was by far their best movie.

[@myownchannel247]

you guys should watch the opening credits to this

[@iKvetch558]

"Pie Jesu Domine...Dona Eis Requiem THWACK!" 💯😜😂

“Jesus grant me rest” Well you would want rest from smacking your head all the time!
