Legend has it that "Tim" the Enchanter was supposed to have a more majestic name, but John Cleese forgot the name on the first take and just said "Tim" instead.

@shanehebert396 Год назад

Back in the 80s (when I first watched it as a kid), this movie was HUGE in geek circles (along with certain music artists like Weird Al, Talking Heads, etc.). We'd go around quoting the movie all the time. It was like our own secret club. There are lots of trivia about the movie... from who helped fund it (several very famous bands) to "Tim" the Enchanter... the script had a more "fitting" name but the Cleese couldn't remember it and just improvised "Tim" and everyone just went with it. The coconuts were used because they literally couldn't afford horses. The knight that kills the famous historian isn't one of Arthur's because he actually has a horse. And, of course, practically the entire movie is quotable. Even today you'll hear people saying "It's just a flesh wound", "Your father smelled of elderberries", etc.

Prior to this, Monty Python was just a comedy group on English television. This was their first movie (other than a collection of some of their TV bits). The reason for the coconuts was because they couldn't afford horses. In fact they couldn't get financing. They solved that by going to an unusual source. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Elton John and Jethro Tull invested in the film.

When you think about it, the ending is the ultimate cop out. So much of the ridiculousness in the film was budget related. Filming a huge battle scene for the end was too expensive, horses were not in the budget, nearly if not all the castle scenes were shot at one castle, every Python cast member playing multiple roles, etc. etc. Certainly my favorite comedy troupe of all time.

Terry Gilliam was the animator. He's directed some incredible movies, with a strangely similar style but live action.

One of my favourite Python movies, saw this in theatres. So many quotable lines. And the behind the scenes story is crazy. $400K budget, financed by Rock bands (Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd) because studios refused to fund the film. There was not enough in the budget to use horses, hence the coconuts. The two directors, Gilliam & Jones had never directed before. Plus they ran out of money near the end of the movie. And the weather was miserable the entire time. Crazy story for an awesome entertaining movie. Great reaction Addie. What Is the Airspeed Velocity of an Unladen Swallow? my favourite from the movie.

@carn9507 Год назад

This is an all time classic. Nearly 50 years old and was doing the meta thing long before many other films (there had been a couple films before that played with the fourth wall and awareness of being in a movie) and it's still funny today. And it's often clever in it's humour. It can do the silly nonsense and slapstick but the Pythons were smart too. Also it's regarded as one of the most accurate movies about this period of time as Terry Jones is a scholar of ancient history and made sure that even some of the sillier stuff had some basis in reality no matter how bizarre. :)

the coconuts were actually an afterthought when they discovered how expensive movie stunt horses were & that they could never afford them. so after a brainstorm session it became a film about coconuts.

@ftumschk Год назад

Urban myth, I'm afraid. Terry Jones recalls that they came up with the idea of using coconuts at an early script-meeting, simply because it was surreal and silly, and coconut jokes appear throughout the film (e.g. African swallows grabbing coconuts by the husk). Also, Arthur's sidekick, Patsy, getting crushed by the wooden rabbit wouldn't have been as effective if Patsy had been a horse. Likewise, the scene where Concord gets shot by an arrow and tells Lancelot there's a message for him attached would only work if the "horse" (Concord) was actually a man. Besides, few - if any - of the Pythons could ride horses anyway, certainly not to the level of competence required for many of the "horseback" scenes.

Funfact: Monty Python got the idea of the Black Knight refusing to give up from one of the first (ancient times) Olympics. Two wrestlers were going at it, and they wrestled until near dark when one man broke the leg 🦵 of the other. The man shouted in pain, and submitted. As it turned out, he had accidently asphyxiated the other man, and in his death grip, he had broken his leg. As the man who lived had submitted, the victory went to the dead man. So the point of the joke was, you never really lose if you refuse to give up.

best moment in the movie: When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England.

Such a joy to see you truly enjoy this timeless classic piece of silly nonsense! I hope you will follow up with "Life of Brian" and "The meaning of Life" (which IMHO has the best ever 'pre-credit sequence' of any movie!) For another great comedy in a similar style, I highly recommend "A fish called Wanda" which stars John Cleese and Michael Palin, as well as Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Klein. (It also has some VERY quotable dialogue!)

Also "Fierce Creatures".

@Bleckman666 Год назад

@@PhilBagels well IMHO it doesn't really hold up to the first one, which I had the privilegie of experience together with an UK audience in a cinema in London. It's one of 4 movies I have watched in the UK; the others being "Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix", "The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus", and Jan Švankmajer's "Alice" (at the ICA in 1988).

It's totally worth a rewatch. Every minute is so dense with jokes, you're bound to find new things to laugh at on a second and third watch.

When the card game Magic: the Gathering came out, one of the early cards was the Prodigal Sorcerer. This card had the effect of dealing one point of damage when tapped. The players quickly nicknamed this card "Tim". MtG was first released in 1993, twenty years after this movie.

My favorite historically accurate insult was "You're mother a hamster and your father smelt of elderberrys." Hamsters being very promiscuous and elderberrys were used to make wine... both things being extremely looked down upon at the time.

The movie is nearly 50 years old. No way, I was born in '75. Oh wait... Thank you for noticing the subtitles. Did you see the people named 'Llama'? I'm glad you liked the ending... This is a very quotable movie. "It's a flesh wound!" When you watch it again, pick your nerdiest friend to watch with. Also, definitely do 'The Life of Brian.' It's even better!

Yay, one of my favorites, especially for watching reactions!

The reason Sir Galahad got thrown off the bridge is because he said blue like Lancelot when his favorite color was actually green. LOL

I love how Addie just got this. Sir Bedevere is a comedic version of Edward de Bono - the master of lateral thinking 😄 The French taunting is a good summary of Anglo-French relations over the last thousand years 😂

The first time I saw this movie, for some reason I bursted out at: _"I am your king!" _ "Well, I didn't vote for you!" ... It's so.. I don't even know how to qualify this level of writing.

Hard to believe that they would have used horses if the budget had allowed them to. The coconut gag is very reminiscent of the Ministry of Silly Walks gag. Totally Pythonesque humor.

I love how many scenes in this movie end with Arthur getting fed up and just leaving. XD

This movie is comic gold. The Monty Python guys in general are/were hilarious. Plus it’s actually a pretty accurate telling of the Arthur legend.

@DestroySteve Год назад

The tale of Sir Galahad is so good. His defining trait is his chastity and he ends up in a castle full of temptation and fails in the end. 😂

@jerrypetrole4604 Год назад

Yeah! Great stuff Addie. I've loved the craziness of this flick since I was a teen (in the 90s!) While you're thinking of old movies - Casablanca is one of the best ever. :)

@DarkPaladin24 Год назад

The black knight scene always cracks me up. "It's just a flesh wound."

@jtrex85 Год назад

"The Castle Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh" at the end of film is Castle Stalker which near the village of Appin on the shores of Loch Linnhe around 15 miles north of where I stay in Oban, Scotland. Whenever I pass by this film always springs to mind. Great reaction as always.

Watched this movie in a creative writing class in High School and have loved it since then. Glad you enjoyed it so much!

@sinelo3965 Год назад

This is absolutely crazy. The final part, when they throw excrement on them, is historically accurate. In fact, in Spanish we keep the expression 'mandar a alguien a la mierda', because you were quite wretched if the captain sent you to the shit, that is, to fight near the walls against a besieged castle where you could die or suffer serious wounds

Perhaps my favorite quote from the whole thing: "Look you stupid b*stard, you've got no arms left!" Or maybe, "'Tis but a scratch." Basically, this thing was Deadpool _before_ Deadpool. And it all comes from the Monty Python group, who did a show (Monty Python's Flying Circus) for many years that was pretty good (though you can catch their best stuff with improvements by watching "The Secret Policeman's Ball" and "The Secret Policeman's Other Ball". They also did a couple other movies, "The Life of Brian" (do not watch if you are very religious and easily offended), and "The Meaning of Life". That second one (The Meaning of Life) is notable because they had a _huge_ increase in budget over this film... and almost _all_ of it went into the choreography for one song. So yeah! Welcome to Monty Python, generally, and The Holy Grail in specific. Now, just in case, go explore George Carlin and Weird Al Yankovic if you're not familiar with them, you will not be disappointed.
