@@tarheelpro87 Here's the thing, he *did* know his favorite color but instinctively answered precisely as Lancelot had done before him when he had replied "blue". But since Galahad's favorite color actually is yellow he realized his own mistake too late as this made him a liar and therefore was the wrong answer.
It sets up the end of the movie, the same way that "5 questions" "3 questions sire!" "3 questions..." sets up how they 'cook off' the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. Brilliant writing.
It's crazy to know that all while filming this, Graham was quitting alcohol, and experiencing *severe* withdrawal, including giving him bad vertigo, uncontrollable shaking, migraines, insomnia, and plenty others. Graham basically started this film at the peak of his addiction, and ended it on a rough 3 years to being fully sober, when they started filming for Life of Brian.
He had friends in co-workers who were there to support him by refusing to fucking work with him if he couldn't get his act together. Bad friends would have continued to let him drink himself to death.
The callback with the 'African or European swallow' question is such a great moment. It would be great in a dramatic movie, too. It was set up so perfectly.
If Brave Sir Robin were as clever as His Majesty, then he may have had the perfect opportunity to cast the gatekeeper into the gorge. The capital of Assyria varied over time, and their empire collapsed around 700BC, well before this accurate portrayal of history was set. Assur was the first capital (and the third), while Harran was the last. There are also four others, including Nimrud. At the very least, Sir Robin should have asked for clarity regarding the specific time, and if the gatekeeper wasn't on the ball, he would have been cast into the Gorge of Eternal Peril instead of Brave Sir Robin. Still, at least he went in for having a tough question, unlike Sir Galahad, who fucked it right up.
There were actually 5 questions 1:What is your name 2:What is your quest 3:What is your favourite Colour 4:What is the Capital of Assyria 5:What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow
If you look at how they're walking they don't seem to be putting any amount of their weight onto their footsteps, which means that they're probably hanging from a harness. Also there's a pretty good chance that there is a net or a mat just slightly out of frame in case they do somehow fall.
Fun fact: king arthur was detoxing from alcohol during filming because they didn't have booze on set. The wikipedia page says he was in active DTs during this scene which sounds like horseshit but he still looks terrible lolol you can see it all over his face around 2:50 when he's talking to the bridge person. I'm surprised he could keep his voice steady
Bridgekeeper: What is your name? Beavis:I am Corn-Holio!! Bridgekeeper: What is your quest? Beavis: I need TP for my bunghole!! Bridgekeeper: What is the tallest mountain on Mars? Beavis: Um.... I dunno.. AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGHH!! Butthead: It's Mt. Olympian, dumbass! UUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGHH!!!
It's funny how clarification can really help you in a situation. And not just in school or work (not my that close-minded boss is helpful or understanding).
Apparently it was the man in charge of local mountain rescues who tossed the dummies into the gorge - I love watching Palin and Jones reconnect with him and joke, what if some tourists had been passing by and seen that? "Who's that throwing bodies into the gorge?" "Oh, that's the head of mountain rescue." "There goes another climber."

I just saw the Sesame Street Bridgekeeper cartoons, and guess they borrowed from this skit. The second of the three videos has similar Bridgekeeper dialogue. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AOPiAreWK7w.html

Okay, I'll take a jab, but know that if I get tossed into youtube's eternal algorithm because of you, I'll come back with endless ads. Can't miss college because I got a question wrong. ',:]
