I saw Graham Chapman's college tour a little before he died, and he said he was drunk the entire filming of this except in the "what is your quest" scene.

I had read that he actually ran out of booze quickly and a lot of the filming he was going through WD’s (the bridge of death scene specifically) Some of the members said he did better when he was out of booze.

the other Pyhtons all said he was drunk most of the time they did Flying Circus and everything else... Cleese is on the record saying he was often late for writing sessions and had a good ten minutes of brain capacity before falling off... while he knew about it, they didnt all know much about each other personally including famous comments later by each other Pythons known of whom knew Graham was also wildly gay.... for whatever thats all worth... he certainly pulled off a lot of great comedy and acting...

Apparently, making this movie was pretty miserable experience for most of them. I was quite surprised. Especially since it's such a funny movie. Very ironic

I loved seeing Eric Idle being interviewed by the guy he lampooned in "Flying Circus."

Between Arthur and Brian it always felt Chapman was the main actor of the group, with actual technical chops

The chainmail is very well made. On a close-up it's obvious that it's not real mail (except king Arthur's mail, which is real) but it looks good enough.

Barnaby ap Robert Yeah, I've heard about that before, but in many medieval movies that are _supposed_ to be historical and realistic it's very poorly made and it bothers me that they use knitted mail on the main characters and in close-up shots of extras, and in some cases even in promotional posters and DVD cover shots... At least use real mail in those! Poorly made knitted mail just looks horrible.

This movie is simply amazing i watched it maybe 50 times and still laughing my ass off :D

This documentary is a work of art in itself

The entire sound track and music choices with brilliant talented musicians make this movie so re-watchable. How they got this finished product done so fast on a shoestring budget is absolutely great interactive make it up as you go storytelling, with lots of well placed smoke and flying dirt, and chickens.

Eric Idle went to school in home town of Wolverhampton

Was a Dune castle a few weeks ago, amazing how much it has changed.

John Cleese is so... "nice" in this film, AND in the "Making of Brian" film, when most of what we know about him, he was impatient, short-tempered and critical when making the Python movies. I've always thought that there was a great deal of Basil Fawlty in him. He's "acting" in these interviews and comes across as downright mild-mannered, almost "Palinesque." (And I DO mean Michael Palin, and not other Palins who happen to be women.)

It just struck me, they really sold the idea of those kataklop kataklop horses, it always seemed like an ok way of getting from point a to point b. I never really questioned it. Imagine that!

The reversed parts (In the order they're heard) 1. Cleese's answer repeated "we tend to ask them how many laughs...." 2. is the Interviewer asking his question i believe... which is, "If you were offered a starring part in Dixon's Doc Green or Match of the Day, which would you accept?"... and the third one, i don't know who but "You're not wearing your crown now" - "no not at the moment, this is my foot playing biggles" - "Well back to your round table, thank you"

fantastic! Thanks!

Are we hearing some of the original Neil Innes musical score in this clip, none of which was used in the released version of the film?

@EmileJoulbert

7 жыл бұрын

I doubt it. Innes' music only involved about a dozen musicians, and was deemed to 'thin', or 'jokey', so they went along with cod-heroics instead, courtesy of De Wolfe Music. Having said that, I'm unfamiliar with the music accompanying the chickens at four minutes or so.
