Filmmaker reacts to Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979) for the FIRST TIME! 

Mine as wel,l but I believe it goes: "you are all different! you are all individuals” with the crowd parroting both lines except the lone person ironically being individual by saying "I'm not!"

I'm not either

The greatest joke in any movie ever

Awesome quote, have a hundred likes.

And ad libbed no less.

Also performed at the London Olympic opening ceremony by Eric Idle❤

Also at Graham Chapman funeral. All of the python lads sang it for him

He also has a cameo in the film as an extra.

no studio would fund it, so he did because he just wanted to see it, he didnt even care if it made no money

@@Sanjuro. He re-mortgaged his house!!

@@corvus4350 ,wasn"t that in "The Holy Grail"?

@@kevdoe3360 No, he is right behind John Cleese when Cleese is telling the people possessed by devils to try to keep them under control. Another rock connection---the prophet caked in mud with the severed hands on a stick played by Terry Gilliam was going to be played by Keith Moon but he died two weeks before filming was to begin.

Happy birthday Terry, it was meant to be

Aww! Sweet!

@@yt45204 Did you respond with, "It's a fair cop"?

@@yt45204 Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason.

"your fucking nicked me old beauty" is a reference to Inspector Harold Challenor who was the most famous policeman in the UK and the public face of the policeforce on the new fangled TV medium. He coined the expression when he nicked people. He also planted evidence on them and got caught it was the first big police scandal in UK history.

Don't know if you are old enough (or british for that matter) but there was a late night show where monty python faced a couple of critics of the film i always feel it's as interesting to watch as *Life of Brian* is funny. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CeKWVuye1YE.html

@@rossanderson1892 I am old enough, but not British, though I was raised on a lot of British comedy. Have not seen this. Going to watch. The boys of Monty Python are all very intelligent and well spoken so this ought to be pretty awesome.

Only dumb people get offended

At the time the first "Star Wars"film had just been released, so Terry decided to honour that, by using aliens to rescue Brian...as he was stuck as how to get Brian down safely from the Tower...

It's also a reference to the popular theories about ancient UFOs.

I mean, he still kinda missed the point.

Saw a Python documentary where they wanted to do a biblical film, but they couldn't find a way to make comedy from Jesus. I mean how do you make fun of do unto others? Then they realized that the comedy is in how people react and miss the lesson that's being taught.

I thought it was filmed in Tunisia.

@@shanenolan8252 It was filmed in Tunisia. OP has no idea what he’s talking about.

@@schrire39 thanks

Me too, thank y’all for the recommendation

You don't even realize what you just created. The British Python is about to be the coolest wrestling move ever.

@@FunkyJabroni This comment made my day! 😂

@@melodyrichardson5051 glad to have been at your service.

As an American who ADORES Monty Python, thank you, Britain! 👍❤️

Gotcha!

Well technically the next one on the list will be Monty Python’s Meaning of Life.

i was thinking the same thing history of the world is in the same vein.

@@hangarflying yeah I was gonna say the same thing, The Meaning of Life is the end to the trilogy, and one of my favorite films of theirs.

@@TheMrsmartass13 i love Meaning of Life but its my least favorite Monty Python movie

Facts!!

Yeah! Definitely still hilarious haha

Don't forget their flick "The Meaning of Life," a multi-chapter film trissecting societal "norms," as usual in MP's incisive manner.

Holy Grail is pretty much a collection of skits itself, with the basic ideas of King Arthur and the quest for the Holy Grail loosely connecting them. Life of Brian is the one that's got a real story.

Oh yes definitely worth a watch, a great movie.

"Don't call me stupid!" "Why on Earth not?"

A Fish Called Wanda also features one of the best Australian accents attempted by a non-Australian, wrote this actual Australian. Kevin Kline nailed it.

Kevin Kline is amazing. He disappears into his roles.

Wanda is brilliant. Not so much fierce creatures

'yes we are all individuals'....... 'I'm not' Bahahaha

How shall we fuck off, oh lord?

Same here, I love that! 😂

New fan of them honestly!

@@JamesVSCinema A film you could try with Python members is A Fish Called Wanda. I know cinema is your expertise, but even if you just watch for fun. I recommend these sketches: - The Funniest Joke in the World - Marching Up and Down the Square - Olympics - The Ministry of Silly Walks - Lumberjack song Those are just a few favourites. I'd also recommend Black Adder and any of Rowan Atkinson's standup or Fry and Laurie's sketches. Enjoy!

Wow this comment made my night bro! Cheers!

"Top tier reactor?" He cut the best two scenes in the movie. Smh

It's also slang for being arrested which is what it means in the context of that scene :)

The exact opposite of what happened, and if they did that, they would have had a revolt by the unions and guilds as that's completely illegal. In actuality, they were riffing leading up to the filming, getting everyone laughing hysterically so that when filming started the extras had to work extremely hard to not laugh until they hit their cue.

@@orthochronicity6428 I didn't know the local unions and guilds had that much inflence in the UK. In the US, sure, but in the UK?

@@grayscribe1342 Dunno about now but James Cameron famously hated UK sets because union rules caused his crew to leave much earlier than he wanted, so they had sway back then.

@@grayscribe1342 American unions are weaksauce next to their European counterparts.

There's a few things wrong with your comment. Firstly the guards in scene 13 were NOT played by extras, Charles McKeown, Chris Langham, Bernard McKenna and Andrew MacLachlan are all well known respected comic actors, together they played 12 different roles in the film. Bernard McKenna, the guard behind Brian on the left is an icon within British television comedy he's written many hours of British television comedy, is personal friends with Graham Chapman and Michael Palin, and played 4 different roles in The Life of Brian. Charles McKeown, the first guard to laugh, again played 4 different roles in the film, and had worked on Ripping Yarns and Faulty Towers, and was a personal friend of Michael Palin, and is a respected comic actor. Chris Langham, the guard pulling the face was at the time a well known comic actor and writer, worked on many shows including Not The Nine O'clock News, today he's more famous for downloading images of children and going to prison. Andrew MacLachlan, a first class Cricketer and well known comic actor, he played 2 roles in the film. None of the actors were threatened with being fired, sent home or not being paid for laughing in scene 13, in fact the script is available if you want to read it, it includes stage direction for guards to giggle. The finished scene is the result of many takes stitched together, it wasn't done in one making your comment even more rediculous. The 4 actors playing the guards were not extras, knew exactly what the scene was about and how to act in it, what we see is the result of brilliant writing and fantastic acting by brilliant comic actors.

Terry Jones played 6 roles including Brian's mother. Michael Palin however played 13 roles. Eric Idle played 9. Terry Gilliam..7 John Cleese.. 6 Bernard McKenna.. 4 including the guard behind Brian on the left in the Biggus Dickus scene. Charles McKeown.. 4, including the first guard to laugh in the Biggus Dickus scene.

It was in the opening of the London Olympics too..

I believe it's a reference to Matthew 4:6 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: 'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”

Top Secret!, from the directors of Airplane! Top Secret! is a spoof of spy movies and Elvis movies. Very funny and silly gags in it.

Just do the complete Flying Circus :-).

Timebandits!

YELLOWBEARD-has many of the monty cast (+many cameos)and is similar in its humour

Try Mel Brooks’s “History of the World, Part 1.”

Woah! That’s so damn awesome. I can see those groups kicking it together

@@JamesVSCinema He told them the reason he bankrolled the movie is he wanted to see it;as they put it,the world's most expensive movie ticket!

Bruh the mom 😂
