I mean my good Lady, perhaps they were carried by both African and Asian Swallows working together so as to allow for future foley artists and film sound editors to be able to fully realize the trampling sound of the horse hoof of a fully laden Cavalry Horse.

One of my favorite details of this scene that often gets overlooked is how weak and unimpressive the horn Patsy plays at 0:30 sounds.

True a lot of them would also have bad sounding horns and they would play them during sieges to annoy the defenders

I have a theory that the Knights of Camelot actually circled around to the same castle the second time. When they first ask about the Grail the French knights say that their master already has one. The second time they come in contact with each other, they know definitively that the Grail is there but is being guarded by the French knights. They even say something to the tune of "you've come back for a second time". I truly believe that they went in a large circle and ended up back where they started on their Grail trip.

Look at how nice the French are, sharing livestock and rations in those tough times😄

[@PeterLawton]

Yeah! I was thinking the Brits wanted food and shelter and were suddenly halfway there.

[@smc1942]

They didn't need shelter! They had a giant wooden rabbit. As well as plans to build a giant wooden badger! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"I fart in your general direction!" Best line in the video! I remember when my brother introduced me to this video, it was honestly so funny. So I wanted to come back and watch it again. What a fantastic scene, and a pretty accurate representation of the French-British rivalry over the years! :)

[@smc1942]

Today, thanks to GPS tracking, we can fart in their specific direction! Guaranteed NOT to miss!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I lost it when they charge at the castle and the French begin to just toss random ass animals they had inside.

This is hands-down my favorite part of the whole movie.

British people call this a hilariously outlandish scene, but Americans call this a presidential debate.

No, our presidential debates are more like the "Reenactment of the Battle of Pearl Harbor" scene from _...and now for something completely different._

I'm presently taking a French cultural course, taught by a lovely old French woman. This scene is an excellent depiction of the French.

[@StereoSoundAgent]

@@thomaslabat8335 There's far far far too much to say! It's truly amazing. Monty Python wrote 1200 years of French History as I know it at least. In 1 scene. If you'd like a more long winded answer as twoards why and how they managed to do so, and are genuinely curious, I highly recommend you read the Book "Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong" by Jean-Benoît Nadeau and Barlow. It's a fantastic read and explains French history and modern culture but it would answer all of your questions as toward why this scene explains your culture and history perfectly!

[@jjackomin]

Over 40 years since I first saw this and it still makes my ribs ache.

@S Christopher English are the more democratic ,understanding type to say from UK on occassion,rather than singular country as can see the bigger picture.the others can sometimes not use UK as they like to believe they are better than the joint UK

[@dalemorris1942]

@Sc C By saying 'themselves' I'm presuming you're not British. So I say to you, go fuck yourself kind sir. Your tiny little brain evidently can't differentiate the respect we English folk are showing by calling ourselves 'British'. We're recognising that we're a shared nation with the Scots. Hence the Union Jack.

[@dalemorris1942]

@Sc C oh and uh, one last thing.. Our full title is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So saying we're from the UK.. Is actually correct.

[@stevenvassalli2408]

Saw this movie in 1977 at a midnight showing. I still enjoy watching it. It's even funnier today than in '77. But I've always love the English sense of humor. Benny Hill tops my list for funniest TV series.
