Red Fighter 1073 · 05-20-2005, 07:20 PM

*SPOILERS INCLUDED!!!!!!*

this is without a doubt, the funniest movie i have ever seen in my life. this thread is mainly to talk about parts of the movie and what you liked and didnt like. also, any questions you have can be answered here. you get the idea.

for all of the people who dont know:
monty python and the holy grail is basically about, you guessed it, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table! the first part of the movie had to with Arthur trying to find some knights. second part is about Arthur and tKotRT trying to find the holy grail. i would reccomend this movie to EVERYONE who wants a good laugh.

so everyone, what are your thoughts about the movie??

in order to maintainIn order to maintain airspeed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?

the whole movie is the quintessential example of dry british comedy. it's wonderful.

"It's just a flesh wound..."
"A flesh wound?! Your arm's off!"
"No it's not."
"Then what's that lying there on the ground?"
"I've had worse."
"You lie!"
"Fight, you pansy!"

Awesome.

oh! then there are those guys bang two coconuts together because the knights dont actually horses but have pretend ones!

or this line: "your mother was a hamster! and your father smelt of elderberries!)

or this one when arthur meets the knights of ni!: "..then you shall cut down the largest tree in the forest with...........A HERRING!!!!!!!!!

or the part with the fire caster, tim. he is SO FUNNY! he just points his hand to a point and it blows up into flame! then, the knights are tryin to ask him how to get to a cave, but are afraid to ask because he might attack them. then, one of the knights just rushes up and tries to ask Tim. so then, Tim takes his staff and points it at the knight and it starts shooting flame like a flamethrower!!!!!

i know, tank has already said something like this but oh well. the fight between arthur and the black knight! arthur keeps chopping his limbs off. so then, arthur chops BOTH arms off of the black knight. then arthur, bends down to pray to god, and then out of nowhere the black knight just starts using his legs and kicks him! then the black knight keeps taunting him and telling him to keep fighting. then arthur cuts off one of black knight's legs. then black knight says "have at yee. you're just scared thats all!" and tells him to keep going. then arthur says "well, what are you gonna do?? BLEED ON ME?!"then arthur cuts off his other leg...

"Come on, stand and fight!"

"yes I have!"

The opening credits were quite funny. The songs of Sir Robin and Camelot were a blast. The entire movie, beginning to end, is one, long laugh. I do recommed, however, that you watch Life of Brian. It's even better.

"What! is your favorite color?"
"Blue! No, wait, red, ahhhhhh!"

"Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die,
O brave Sir Robin.
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways,
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!

He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken,
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin!

His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off
And his pen--"

Robin: That's... that's... er... enough music for now lads. Looks like there's dirty work afoot

Oh, I was raised on all things Monty Python. This movie was wonderful then, and it's still great now.
Personally, I liked the Trojan Chicken myself. ^^

:thief: Yea that is the greatest example of dry humor ever.
"I am french! Why do you think I speak with this outrageous accent."
"I told him we already got one!"
"We are no longer the knights who say neet, We are now the knights that say...icky icky icky ne poom we doon...neet"
I laugh every time I see that movie and I see something extra every time.

--------
Clear off then, nothing to see here.

"She turned me into a newt!" ....... "I got better..."

The whole thing with the witch was my favorite. Trying to find out what also floats on water (besides witches) and suggesting stones and the like... And then when she DID weigh the same as the duck.... Ah...

The first time I watched it, though, I wasn't very familiar with British humor, so I had this odd expression on my face the entire time... But now it's one of my favorites.
