Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a 1. British absurdistcomedy film concerning the Arthurian legend, written and performed by the Monty Python comedy group (Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin), and directed by Gilliam and Jones.[n 1] It was conceived during the hiatus between the third and fourth series of their BBC television series Monty Python's Flying Circus. In contrast to the group's first film, And Now for Something Completely Different, a compilation of sketches from the first two television series, Holy Grail draws on new material. It parodies the legend of King Arthur's quest to find the Holy Grail. Idle used the film as the basis for the musical Spamalot 3.

Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[6] In the US, the film was selected as the second best comedy of all time in the ABC special Best in Film: The Greatest Movies of Our Time; in the UK, readers of Total Film magazine ranked the film the fifth greatest comedy film of all time, and a similar poll of Channel 4 viewers placed the film sixth (2. The film opens with a credit sequence that becomes increasingly ridiculous, first becoming laden with strange pseudo- Swedish commentary about moose, and eventually being replaced with flashy titles in which everyone's name has been changed to something involving llamas. The story proper begins in AD 9. Arthurian tale should).

King Arthur and his squire, Patsy, travel throughout Britain searching for men to join the Knights of the Round Table. Arthur stops at a castle, where the guards ask how Arthur found two coconut halves Patsy uses to simulate the sound of horses galloping. Arthur leaves after his encounter becomes a discussion about African and European swallows. Arthur encounters a Black Knight, who will not let them cross a small bridge.

A sword fight ensues, with Arthur gaining an increasing advantage, but the Black Knight continues fighting — despite having his arms and legs severed. The Black Knight declares the battle a draw.

The villagers of a small town come to Sir Bedevere the Wise, claiming they have captured a witch. Bedevere puts the woman through a test, and she is revealed to be a witch because she weighs the same as a duck. Arthur dubs Bedevere as a Knight of the Round Table, and they are later joined by Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Galahad the Pure, and Sir Robin the Not- Quite- So- Brave- as- Sir- Lancelot. The knights reach Camelot, but following a song- and- dance cutaway, Arthur decides not to enter, because "it is a silly place". The group encounters God, who instructs them to seek the Holy Grail.

Their first stop is a French- controlled castle. One of the soldiers tells the knights that they already have a grail, then taunts them with ridiculous insults. After a failed invasion of the castle, with the French soldiers throwing animals at them, the knights try sneaking into the castle in a Trojan Rabbit, but they forget to hide inside it. The rabbit is catapulted at them and crushes one of the knights' servants. Arthur decides the group should break into smaller groups to seek the Grail. A modern- day historian, describing the Arthurian legends, is abruptly killed by a knight on horseback, triggering a police investigation. The knights encounter various perils.

Arthur and Bedevere attempt to satisfy the strange requests of the dreaded Knights Who Say Ni. Sir Robin avoids a fight with the Three- headed Giant by running away while the heads are arguing. Sir Galahad is led by a grail- shaped beacon to Castle Anthrax, populated by women who wish to perform sexual favours for him, but to Galahad's chagrin, he is "rescued" by Lancelot.

Sir Lancelot finds a note tied to an arrow, and after reading it assaults a wedding party at Swamp Castle, believing them to be holding a lady against her will. He discovers that an effeminate prince sent the note, and another song- and- dance routine occurs. The knights regroup and are joined by Sir Gawain, Sir Ector, and Sir Bors, and a group of monks led by Brother Maynard.

They encounter Tim the Enchanter, who points them to caves where the location of the grail is written. To enter the caves, the group must defeat the Rabbit of Caerbannog.

During a failed attack against the rabbit, it kills Gawain, Ector and Bors. Brother Maynard provides the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, which Arthur uses to kill the rabbit.

The knights enter the cave and find an inscription written by Joseph of Arimathea, which states that the Grail can be found in the Castle of Aarrgh. The group is attacked by the Legendary Black Beast of Aarrgh, which devours Brother Maynard. Arthur and his knights escape when the beast's animator suffers a fatal heart attack. The group travels to the Bridge of Death, where each knight must answer three questions from the bridge- keeper before proceeding. Lancelot easily answers his questions and crosses the bridge. Robin is confounded by a difficult question, while Galahad gives a wrong answer to an easy one; both are hurled into the Gorge of Eternal Peril.

Arthur responds to the bridge- keeper's question with a question, and the bridge- keeper is thrown into the chasm for not knowing the answer. Lancelot, separated from Arthur and Bedevere, is arrested by the police who are investigating the historian's murder. Arthur and Bedevere travel to the Castle Aarrgh, which they find occupied by the French forces that taunted them earlier. They amass a large army and prepare to storm the castle, but just as they begin to charge, the modern police arrive. Arthur and Bedevere are arrested, and one of the officers covers the lens with his hand, as the film appears to break in the projector. Production[edit]Development[edit].

The legend of the Holy Grail provided a unifying motif for the film. Fifteen months before BBC visited the set in December 1. Monty Python troupe assembled the first version of the screenplay.[8] When half of the resulting material was set in the Middle Ages, and half was set in the present day, the group opted to focus on the Middle Ages, revolving on the legend of the Holy Grail. By the fourth or fifth version of their screenplay, the story was complete, and the cast joked the fact that the Grail was never retrieved would be "a big let- down .. Graham Chapman said a challenge was incorporating scenes that did not fit the Holy Grail motif.[9]Neither Terry Gilliam nor Terry Jones had directed a film before, and described it as a learning experience in which they would learn to make a film by making an entire full- length film.[1.

The cast humorously described the novice directing style as employing the level of mutual disrespect always found in Monty Python's work.[8]Filming[edit]Monty Python and the Holy Grail was mostly shot on location in Scotland,[1. Doune Castle, Glen Coe, and the privately owned Castle Stalker. The many castles seen throughout the film were mainly either Doune Castle shot from different angles or hanging miniatures.[1. There are several exceptions to this: the very first exterior shot of a castle at the beginning of the film is Kidwelly Castle in South Wales, and the single exterior shot of the Swamp Castle during "Tale of Sir Lancelot" is Bodiam Castle in East Sussex; [1. Doune Castle. Production designer Julian Doyle recounted that his crew constructed walls in the forest near Doune.[1.
