"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!" Fun Fact: The famous depiction of galloping horses by using coconut shells (a traditional radio-show sound effect) came about from the purely practical reason that the production simply could not afford real horses. Metal Funding Fact: Funds earned by Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon (1973) went towards funding this movie. The band were such fans of the show, they would halt recording sessions just to watch Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969). Led Zeppelin and Genesis contributed to this movie's budget as well. Swallow This Fact: The airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow is roughly eleven meters per second, or twenty-four miles per hour, beating its wings seven to nine times per second rather than forty-three. It's true: A five-ounce bird cannot carry a one pound coconut, but furthermore, no swallow weighs five ounces. The English barn swallow weighs only twenty grams (two-thirds of an ounce). Historical Fact: The French tactic of pelting Arthur (Graham Chapman) and his knights with livestock echoes the relatively modern legend of a medieval siege of the fortified southern French town of Carcassonne. Said to have been near starvation, the townspeople used the last of their food to pelt the besieging army to convince them, suffering likewise, that the town was well stocked with food and that the siege was hopeless. The tactic was successful, and the siege was lifted.

The use of coconuts due to budget constraints is an urban myth, I'm afraid. Coconut jokes run through the film, and are used to set up other running jokes: the scene about African/European swallows carrying coconuts by the husk; Sir Bors trying to get a duck to carry a coconut shell; the African/European swallow question saving the day at the Bridge of Death. From these and other examples, it's evident that coconuts were intrinsic to the script from the outset. Indeed, Terry Jones (co-writer, director, Sir Bors etc) recalled Michael Palin (Sir Galahad etc) coming up with the idea of having servants clopping coconuts together at an early ideas meeting, before the script was written and long before the budget was known. In short, having servants clopping coconut shells together instead of horses is just a typically silly Pythonesque touch, no more no less.

“Siege” is French for “seat”. As in, the attacking army surrounds the city and sits down.

This is a movie that you can watch a dozen times and still find clever details (like that the crossing the black knight was defending was small enough that you could jump over it at any other place). It is absolutely brilliant. I grew up watching Monty Python. There is absolutely no equivalent today.

It's more cohesive than "Holy Grail", it's got more of a throughline plot. The animation is always a part of Monty Python; they started as a TV show and the animation would link all the random sketches together. The guy who did the animation was Terry Gilliam and he went on to become a great director in his own right ("Brazil", "Time Bandits", "Adventures Of Baron Munchausen").

Several of my friends and I rented it back in the mid 80s in our late teens. Our sides hurt the next day from laughing so hard. A few months later we got together again to watch a movie, this time with a group of girls who went to HS with part of our circle, and decided to get it again so they could see the hilarity. They just didn’t get it, and barely even cracked a smile. Apparently either you 'get' the Pythons, or you don’t. They fell into the latter category. Oh well. WE still laughed our asses of, probably even harder the second time, watching them just not get it.

They only used 2 castles for this film, and the castle on the island at the end still has someone living in it. The other castle has a pair of coconuts at the entrance for visitors to use.

Traditionally, Sir Galahad was supposed to find the Grail, but here he got side-tracked by a decoy beacon (and… other things) at Castle Anthrax, and then cast into the Gorge of Eternal Peril because he forgot his favorite color. By the way, depictions of murderous rabbits can actually be found in some medieval illustrations, so even that is sort of historically accurate. 😄

All 4 showings sold out in 30 minutes. My friends and I had tickets for the second show at 12:30am. When it started there was cheering and clapping which lead to everyone quoting the lines out loud even before they happened in the Movie. For the first few minutes it was fine then it started to get annoying because you could not hear the movie just the whole audience quoting the movie out loud. After a few minutes myself and others started to yell “Shut up”!!! More started joining in. It took 15 minutes to everyone to Stop Quoting the Movie out load. We were finally able to enjoy the movie.

Yes. I saw it in a theatre in Australia with a bunch a 17 yr Python fans. We cried laughing!!.. Have seen it many times since and enjoyed watching it again with you. And to concur with your insights, Eric Idle , one of the Pythons, said that there are two essential elements to comedy, "Not enough money, and not enough time."

The ending being a literal cop out will always be the greatest unsaid joke in the movie. Also none of the main characters could've been the murderer because the knight who killed the historian was the only one on an actual horse.

The Holy Grail is one of my all time fav movies. Since you liked this I can also recommend their other movie "Life of Brian". There are so many quotes from these movies. The priests that chanted and hit themselfs with a board was actually included on the DVD as a sing-a-long with the instructions to use the DVD box as a board. But the instructions are interupted by them because it gets out of hand.

I watched this film several times in the theatre, because it was there more than a year and we all repeat watching this just because we wanted to see the faces of people who watched it for the very first time, specially at the end when the screen turned black and the music was still on.

The scene where the dead animals are thrown from the walls. My dad lived in Doune where they filmed several scenes, my dad and my uncles as well as the other village kids got enlisted as it was the school holidays, to help pick the animals up. Then Run them back up to the people throwing them for another take. He said they had great fun helping out. One of the funniest films of all time. Second only to life of Brian, In my opinion.

I lived in England as a kid and grew up with Monty Python's Flying Circus. I saw this movie in 1975; with the background of having watched the TV series, the ending made perfect sense to me.

Here in America, before the film was released here, old episodes of Flying Circus were shown on TV, to get Americans used to British humor (humour?). Then Holy Grail was released only in certain theaters (cinemas). They were usually small theaters that showed artsy films or foreign films. American audiences still didn't quite get the humor and would laugh loudly, before the punch lines. This was so loud, that the jokes were missed. This caused Holy Grail to become a cult movie, where Americans would go watch it time and time again at the theaters, to try to hear all of the jokes. In the 1970's, theaters charged a one time entrance fee for the whole day and evening. The daytime fee was much lower than the evening fee, but you could stay until closing time. The theaters would have a miniature Trojan rabbit in the lobby.

It's definitely an iconic British comedy. I think it was recently voted 2nd best British comedy movie ever.

It's also fascinating how the low budget is worked into the fabric itself - they use this constant theatrical fakery to render all the ultraviolence completely harmless, so they get to make extremely morbid jokes and show such death and we can still call it silly. Plus the use of animation to cheaply render a monster is world class, it works because we're already in "theatre" modes of suspended disbelief (or rather, belief is irrelevant), and it just also works as a joke about using animation to cheaply render a monster, on top of which they stack an even further joke about the animator's contribution. And then on top of all that, they weave in that one thread of modern day reality just to puncture it all further. Also you made it funnier and more refreshing, thankyou!

Thank you both for making me laugh almost as much as the first time I watched this movie back when it first came to theaters. Imagine being in a packed movie theater at midnight, where no one has ever seen the movie before. It was hard to hear the dialogue sometimes due to the constant hysterical laughter! My friends and I left that theater with aching stomachs and sore throats from laughing so hard. It was brilliant! This is truly the best reaction that I've seen, and I've pretty much watched them all.

Lost count of how many times i watched this over the years, laugh my arse of every time

I lost four mates when we first watched it. Literally died laughing. Fortunately I could pull through (barely). My favorite comedy of all time.

Just found your channel today. As a Brit brought up on this, it's really nice to see you enjoy Monty Python, as it's a hard "sell" overseas. Some Americans get the humour, some don't. You seem like you were happy to just go along with the silliness, which is nice to see. Incredible to think that the production cost for this movie was only $400,000.

There many medieval stories about King Arthur and the Grail and in most of them, the Grail isn’t found. So I guess it make sense that way. Also remember that he IS King Arthur so he should definitely have an army. King Arthur is supposed to be entombed and to re-emerge in the modern world so the police do fit.

I saw an a reaction from someone who was an expert on the authorian legend/books. He said surprisingly this was one of the more faithful to the actual tale; and pointed out one of the Pythons went to university and studied it.

My favorite movie comedy, narrowly ahead of "Airplane." As you point out, a good example of how good writing is much more important than a big budget. They also had the advantage of being an experienced ensemble cast from the TV show. Kind of like Orson Welles and his radio theater company when they made "Citizen Kane."

I have been watching this movie for nearly 40 years and I still find it hilarious. It is still witty and relevant and hope you both enjoy it as much as me

This movie is the blueprint for the internet

I didn’t see anybody else comment this: the ending is a literal “cop out”.

When they shot the scene introducing the 'enchanter' John Cleese couldn't remember the name so he just said 'Tim' and they went with it.

If you watch this again pay close attention to the witch scene. If you watch closely you can see Eric Idle bite down on his sword to keep from cracking up when John Cleese takes this ultralong pause before saying his "because they are made out of wood" line. Cleese was varying the amount of time he paused before delivering his line from take to take. This was the longest pause he used and it was the one they went with for the film.

That was a scythe/sickle, not a sword.

Great reaction. Repeated watchings really are rewarding. Also, the more history you know, the more funny you'll find them. Five out of the six Python members were Oxford or Cambridge educated in law, medicine, or history and their scripts and settings are filled with plays on anachronisms, language, etc, that tweak the brain. You mentioned SNL. The Monty Python television show that ran from 1969 to 1974 was one of the main inspirations for the creation of the original "Saturday Night Live" in 1975. You also mentioned at the beginning that you thought you might have heard men talk about the film more than you'd heard women talk about it, and it did seem back in the seventies that, though their appeal was broad, Monty Python and their humor did have maybe more of an appeal to men than to women, not that the troupe intended it that way. I remember a female friend years ago recalling that back in the seventies and early eighties, guys tended to just go on and on about Monty Python, endlessly repeating lines from their shows. This friend considered that to be a sign that a guy was not partner material, that a guy who did that lacked originality and might be tedious to be around. Monty Python was that popular, though. People really did quote from them all the time back in the seventies and early eighties.

The only member of Monty Python that's not from Britain was the Animatior. He's from Minnesota! SKOL!!!

Wait a minute, girls genuinely laughing with Monty python?! I can make popcorn!! Lol thanks for the enjoyable reaction🤩

Thank you!!

Was a pleasure to see you get a kick out of this. Silly is timeless

I saw this as a teenager when it came out. For me, a big part of the humour came from seeing movie conventions subverted and mocked. The genuinely heroic theme music would play, and I'd be up for some real adventure, and then wham! they'd frustrate my desire with yet another transgression! Not everybody likes Monty Python, but those who do, like it a lot! By the way, mocking the police is a Monty Python passion, and you'll note that not only do the police stop the picture and ruin the ending, they do it by incompetently arresting innocent people; King Arthur et al could not have been involved in the murder of "Famous Historian", because the guilty party rode a horse.

I have never seen you two laugh so hard! I probably watched the rabbit scene 10 times, it was hysterical!! Thanks for sharing!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Plot twist: the knight that killed the historian was on horseback, Arthur and his knights had coconuts for horses. Therefore The King was framed by an outside influence..🤔

I love how much you two are laughing at this. Some other reactors I've seen watch this didn't seem to "get it", but you both really seem to be having a great time. And that makes me happy.

It’s hysterical!!

Theree are so many little details, throwaway lines and facial expressions that you don't notice on first viewing, it's very rewatchable! Also check out Life of Brian like everyone else has said :)

"I unclog my nose in your general direction" the French guy had me cracking up

Thanks, ladies. We are all maidens between 17 and 19 and a half. 😆. I don't what to marry her . But son, she has two huge big beautiful ( tracts of land ) . . They ran out of Money for the horses. The movie was going to not get made , but George Harrison from the beatles stepped in . And he funded the next two . ( he was a fan of the show , and script)

Thank you! Thank you! Your reaction to this touched me. 😊 I and my two friends saw this movie in the theater five times when it was released. Five decades later, we quote the best lines to each other and laugh all over again. Having you enjoy it just as much as we have makes me misty... For your consideration, "All of Me" (1984 Steve Martin / Lilly Tomlin) is amongst the best comedies of all time. I think everyone will enjoy your reaction to it, and it will bring fond memories to us all. I'll be back to see what you do next. Much love...

I first saw this movie when it came out on VHS in the 80's. However I already knew all the skits because my best friend in school was a big Monty Python fan and had a stack of Monty Python albums. We would memorize the bits spent hours in School reciting Monty Python skits. So every time I see a Monty Python movie It reminds me of all the fun Derik and I had running these lines. Thanks for the memory's. Chris

Thanks for watching!

Fawlty Towers, featuring John Cleese and Connie Booth from this movie is arguably the funniest TV series ever made. Check that out for more comedy genius.

15:45 As Buster Keaton observed, "The audience loves the slow thinker." 😁
