There was a horse. The killer of the historian. So all these people are innocent. The six members of Monty Python each played multiple people.

[@clarencewalker3925]

You have just introduced to Monty Python's Flying Circus, ladies. Always expect the unexpected.

[@johncampbell756]

The me.bers of Monty Python and some of the many, many roles they played: They all wrote it, initially as various skits. Cleese and Chapman were writing partners as were Jones and Palin. Eric Idle and Terry Gillam would each write their bits separately. They all worked together to link them. Graham Chapman as Arthur, King of the Britons, the hiccuping guard, and the middle head of the Three-Headed Giant, as well as the voice of God John Cleese as Sir Lancelot the Brave, the Black Knight, French Taunter, and Tim the Enchanter, among other roles Terry Gilliam as Patsy (Arthur's servant), the Soothsaying Bridgekeeper, the Green Knight, Sir Bors, and himself as the Weak-Hearted Animator, among other roles (co-dirdctor and animator of the film) Eric Idle as Sir Robin the-not-quite-so-brave-as-Sir-Lancelot, Lancelot's squire Concorde, the collector of the dead, Roger the Shrubber, and Brother Maynard, among other roles Terry Jones as Sir Bedevere the Wise, Prince Herbert, Dennis' mother, and the left head of the Three-Headed Giant, among other roles (co-director of the film) Michael Palin as Sir Galahad the Pure, Leader of the Knights Who Say Ni, Lord of Swamp Castle, Dennis, and the right head of the Three-Headed Giant, among other roles, and the film's narrator

This movie was *massive* in the late 70s and early 80s geek/nerd culture. We watched it a bunch of times and went around quoting it all the time. "Help! I'm being repressed!", "It's just a flesh wound.", "He's not to leave, even if you come and get him", "Go away or I will taunt you a second time." (plus several of the taunts), "I got better", "Let me face the peril!", etc. etc. etc.

[@ragabashmoon1551]

Yea. In the 7th Sea Roleplaying game one of the rules is that anyone quoting Monty Python gives the GM extra dice to add to NPC rolls to use against players. That is, the game has a Dice Pool that all the players share that they can take dice from and they add dice with good roelplaying but the way you add to the GM pool is the players doing inordinately silly or bad things, which quoting Monty Python is an example :)

The intermission is a troll of the audience. Intermissions were common enough back then so people would get up and go to the restroom, get snacks, etc. So when the intermission came up, people would start walking down the aisles and headed out and then the short intermission was over so they'd have to all run back to their seats.

[@robby1816]

My brother (who had already seen it) laughed his ass off when I got up for the intermission, when watching this at the movies my first time.

[@toy4871]

Hahahaha!!! 😂😂😂😂. And I said to Tori if she would like some popcorn and it came back on so quick. That's funny! I would have loved to see people get up and run back to their seats! I would have been one of them 😂😂😂❤

[@inhumanmusic1411]

Wasn't really a troll. It might have ended up like that but the original reason it was stuck in there was because Chapman froze while going over the bridge.

[@TheGoIsWin21]

@@inhumanmusic1411 The decision to make the intermission so short is pretty much an entirely different decision from the one to have an intermission in the first place. They might have stuck an intermission in for that reason, but it has basically no bearing on what the original guy said. Yes it was a troll and yes it was effective.

[@samuelvincent557]

The ending is a troll of themselves, as well. Monty Python was notorious for not knowing how to end a skit. So many ended with a silly toss away line. So the ending of this movie is a, literal, cop out.

[@ariesrcn]

The reason for the coconuts was because they didn't have enough money for horses. So they improvised.

[@michaelschroeck2254]

This should have been a clue to the police and the woman identifying them at the end of the movie. The killer was riding a horse, Arthur and his legions were not!!

Fun Fact: Before Star Wars in 1977, industry standard was to put the credits before the movie. They tried to force Lucas to conform but he refused, saying it would ruin the immersion. They threatened to sue everyone involved in the movie but Lucas said he would pay all fines and penalties incurred.

[@georgezee5173]

Not quite like that... Having ALL the credits at the beginning of the film used to be the standard for decades, but by the 70's the standard had already changed to the one we have nowadays: showing the main credits at the beginning (main actors, producers, director of photography, music composer, editor, writer, director) and then at the very end the whole closing credits. What happened with Star Wars was that Lucas refused to have ANY credits at all at the beginning for the reason you mentioned, but it wasn't even the first time that had happened in all-time classic. As early as in 1941 "Citizen Kane" had already done that.

[@shanenolan5625]

Lucas was kick out of the directors guild for that . He didn't return to it until thr late 90s

[@georgezee5173]

@@shanenolan5625 He wasn't really kicked out, he left the Directors Guild of America after being fined by them, but apparently it wasn't for not placing the credits at the beginning, but for not putting the director's credit especifically.

Monty Python is a British comedy group from the 70's, they used to have a comedy show called Monty Pythons Flying Circus that ran on PBS in America many years ago. They are all crazy, and most of it makes no sense, but it is funny. And they rode fake horses because the budget for the movie was so small they could not afford real horses.

[@Americathebeautiful49]

There is a lot of mention of lack of budget for actual horses. Yes that is true but also all the extras and stunt people to ride them since I don’t think John Cleese or Eric Idle or Michael Pallin or Terry Gilliam were equestrians. Not to mention the insurance but I wouldn’t be surprised if the coconut idea was original regardless of budget. Real horses were not funny like skipping along whilst clicking coconuts together.

[@steves2241]

@@Americathebeautiful49 Why are there no horses in the Holy Grail? It was done for a budgetary reason, as the movie couldn't afford real horses.

[@misterprickly]

Fun facts: This movie had several cuts before settling on the version we know today. Originally it starts with the "Bring out yer dead" scene. -They couldn't afford horses (hence the coconuts) or any kind of musical interludes; which is why Prince Harold's escape song is cut off. -They could only afford to shoot one castle, so they shot the same castle at different angles and sections, to make it look like several castles. -They could only afford to shoot one castle interior. So they chose the best room and dressed / shot it differently for each scene. -The *Killer Bunny* is a staple in numerous fantasy games, ranging from tapble top D&D to many JRPGs... Even Minecraft has one! -Lancelot's run was based on a samurai movie. The actor was not as far as he looked, so they made him run the path several times and spliced it together, to make it look like one big run. Technically the movie is a *slice of life* story. We don't get a beginning nor an ending... We just get the middle piece!

Not a true story. Cleese has denied it numerous times. The script backs him up.

Did you know that the fight with the Black Knight was also improvised? Graham Chapman just happened to land an actual dismembering blow, enjoyed it enough to continue cutting off limbs, and the director liked it so much, he decided to leave it in!

It made my heart glad to hear you two laughing at this movie. I would not have expected anyone from your generation to find it funny. The weird thing is, you didn't get any of the jokes, and yet you still laughed at them. Monty Python is a troupe of six guys that had a TV show on the BBC in England. It was called Monty Python's Flying Circus and it ran from 1969 through 1974. When it ended in Britain, it started running in the US on PBS. I started watching it right away, and it's the funniest stuff ever filmed. When this movie came out, it wasn't merely made by the guys from Monty Python, but also in the style of the Flying Circus, which is different than comedy that is made today. But you laughed, and that's the whole point. By the way, there is one horse in the movie. When Sir Launcelot killed the "Famous Historian," he was riding a horse. But, yes, that's the only one. Also, did you notice that nearly all the parts were played by the same six guys? You are apparently familiar with John Cleese. He played Sir Launcelot, but also the Black Knight, the taunting French Knight, Tim the Enchanter, the guy who puts the old man on the cart for the dead, and the guard that suggests an African Swallow could carry a coconut. The rest of the guys also played multiple parts.

[@StanSwan]

There was one horse when the knight attacked the historian. He was the same actor that did not want to get on the cart who said "I feel happy"...

During the Black Plague (also known as the Black Death) people did "bring out there dead" to a crew that went about and gathered them then buried them in mass graves. The Black Plague killed approximately half of Europe's population during the years 1346-1353.

[@Cbcw76]

Actually, from the 1100's into the 1600s. It was more understood/controlled by the 1700s.

[@DavidKillian-oc6zc]

At any rate, it wasn't the entire Middle Ages.

[@Travelinmatt1976]

My favorite part about the frenchmen is that whenever the leader speaks french to the other frenchmen they don't seem to understand him, they say "what?", but then he repeats himself in english and they all say "oh!"

[@davidryall-flanders6353]

I love this movie. I think I watch it maybe two or three times each year, I've probably watched it over fifty times. All my friends and I know it by heart and will often break into lines from the film, especially when the beers start to flow . What's particularly funny is watching the uninitiated discover Monty Python for the first time! 😅 Thank you ladies.

[@synaesthesia2010]

without doubt one of the greatest comedies ever made that still stands the test of time because every scene is its own individual sketch and they all work without context

"I fart in your general direction" was a classic line that we would say to each other back in high school. Before I ever saw this movie, I had several of my friends act out the whole movie one night while we were camping out. The movie was even funnier after I saw my friends act it out first.

[@kenpullig1652]

This is your best reaction to date. Loved every moment. Monty Python is a deep well of absurdity from TV shows, movies, and stage performances. If this was your introduction you chose wisely. Now, take the coconut by the reins and check out the rest of their work. Just search the name and you'll get plenty to choose from. Great reaction today, ladies.

This has got to be the best reaction to this movie that I have ever seen.

[@TTM9691]

That has to be one of the best reactions to this movie I've ever seen. Right till the very end, when the two of you (coincidentally) sang together in unison: "Run To The Movies". I've never seen a reactor laugh as hard, and throughout the movie, as much as Toy did, right from the beginning. The killer rabbit scene......it was like watching myself watch it for the first time! You HAVE to do their next movie, "Life Of Brian", which is a masterpiece. And their last movie, "The Meaning Of Life" is also worth doing, although most of us think either Holy Grail or Life Of Brian are their best movies. And they started as a wild, groundbreaking TV series, half-hour a piece. At the very least, Toy should watch the classic series off the channel because she is most obviously, definitely an instant Python fan! Not that both of you guys were great in this reaction! I always love your reactions, always a real fun time.

[@martinboyle9163]

While I was waiting for the thumbnail to load to see who I would be watching this with, I secretly was thinking, "I hope it's Toy and Tori." You ladies never disappoint! I love you both! (It's also interesting if you Google, "Who financed Monty Python And The Holy Grail?") Great show! ❤

[@toy4871]

Heyyy! Thank you so much! 😊❤. TNT always an explosive fun time. Wow! Pink floyd?! Led Zeppelin?! George harrison?! Harrison mortgaged his house for Life of Brian?!!! I gotta see that then too. That's amazing!!! Thank you!😊😊😊❤❤

@@toy4871 Life Of Brian is pure gold. My friends and I would get "stoned to death" and smoke grass from the beginning of the movie until the stoning scene. Not saying that you should, but if the shoe fits... Also The Meaning Of Life is another classic. I'm glad you enjoyed watching it, Toy! Until next time, I'm wishing you the very best! 🥰

Watching a couple of millenials trying to comprehend 1970's British satire is worth a thumbs up alone. You MUST do "The Life of Brian" next. The most epic of their movies.

Producer's note: I always instruct the girls to look nothing up about the movies we're about to watch. Oftentimes, too, they don't know what we're watching until the day of filming. I believe this makes for the best videos.

[@NarnianRailway]

My Ladies, indeed 'tis a most noble honor and privilege to say welcome to the realm of British humor called Monty Python. This is one of the only Medieval documentaries to use actual archival film footage from the Middle Ages and European Swallows and an actual historian, well it briefly had an actual historian. Your reactions were superb and hilarious attempting to make sense of the scenes. In tribute to your quest for the Holy Grail, I gleefully award to each ( and 💯👍and noticing they used the same castle⭐)

I'm certain that there's a deleted scene or alternate ending, possibly in the DVD extras, where after the army appears out of nowhere Bedevere turns to Arthur with a puzzled look and Arthur nonchalantly says "Well, I AM a King, you know!"

[@franticproductionsdrquark4430]

To put their humor in a nut shell, they created a new paradigm called 'Welcome to the World of 'Monty Python's Flying Circus'. (watched them as a teen, starting in about 1969 on the BBC. I was never the same, and still ain't all there). The of British Humor!

[@bensteel3944]

Monty Python ... Life Of Brian

[@namelessjedi2242]

Monty Python’s Flying Circus was the name of the comedy TV show starring these guys, so the name Monty Python became that of the troupe. They made several other movies, and I’d recommend any of them if you like this type of humor.

[@synaesthesia2010]

'And Now for Something Completely Different' doesn't really count as a movie, rather a compilation of recreations of sketches from the first series and some new sketches that made it into series 2. it was made in order to try and sell the show to the Americans

The hopping and coconuts was because they didn't have the budget for them to all have horses, so they decided no one would have horses.
