😂😂😂

i think when they were going to make the film they were going to be on horses but then found out that the cost eg training and insurance was going to be to much and one of them said why dont we just have a couple of guys bang coconuts

@@Rar9866 love it!

One Horse, the Killer of the Historian was on horseback!

@@robertgomez7414 No he was not actually on horseback as he ran pat him when he cut him so he was on foot too actually. You should check out Life of Brian and not leave out the funnier bits like you did in this one

Haha I didn’t even realise! I’ll have to watch it again see what I missed 😂

How have I never realized this...??

@@orthochronicity6428 I'd seen it like 30 times before I noticed the knight that dispatched the Famous Historian was riding an actual horse lol

@@orthochronicity6428 Right?? I first watched this back in the '80s and so many times after that, including multiple reactions, and it only _just now_ struck me that the knight who kills Frank has a real horse.

WTF, you are right

It's referenced in Game of Thrones, when Ser Davos is learning to read. (At least I can't imagine that him tripping over the word "kuh-niggit" was anything but a deliberate, if very subtle, homage!)

It's also pretty much how "knights" actually is pronounced in Middle English

@@TimpanistMoth_AyKayEll The rider in front of the Meereen gates also insults Daario Naharis before combat saying "Your mother is a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries" in Low Valyrian.

Oh thank god I wasn't the only one.

I've heard it said that English is less a coherent language than a collection of words and grammarical rules stolen from other languages after dragging them into an alley and beating them senseless.

Loved it! 😂

@@DawnMarieX Yup - my favourite line in my favourite movie. Best movie review ever for spotting that :D. I also like "I'm not" in the Life Of Brian...see if you can spot that...I also like Lancelot attacking the French castle, pointlessly, with his sword.

@@DawnMarieX also only the second to notice Sir Bedeviere trying to make a swallow carry a coconut.

@@jeffnorwood-brown8407 I’ll be keeping an eye out 😏

@@ciaranconlon84 it’s the little things like this that make the movie! 😁

I’ll thank you now cause I just watched it 😂 oh Jesus imagine filming that 😂😂😂

I believe the Black Knight as well.

He's also brilliant in A Fish Called Wanda, with fellow Monty Python member Michael Palin costarring.

@@bugvswindshield Yeah, the attack scream before the black knight loses his second arm gives Cleese away for me

The Sheep Airplane sketch is a must if you like John's "French".

Haha surely not!

@@DawnMarieX It's true!

I think I saw one other reactor actually do that before but it is very rare yes

A surprising number of viewers do not pay enough attention to the beginning of this or the very end of Airplane!.

The closing credits are quite good too!

The rest of the movie more than made up for the scenes that I lost patience with that’s for sure! 😁

Doctor Piglet and Doctor Winston have a basic medical training 😂😂😂

It was definitely a guy-humor scene. A tragicomedy. A fantasy come true, but alas it's out of reach ah well.

I can defeat them single handedly. There's only a hundred and fifty of them.

@@88wildcat no, there was too much peril.

Oh that’s interesting! Thank you for sharing 😁

@@DawnMarieX There's actually a theory involving the knights fighting snails artwork. Many monks of that era were also gardeners/subsistence farmers and snails/slugs would have been the bane of their existence so their artwork reflected their fantasies of destroying the evil monsters that were munching on their vegetables.

@@DawnMarieX There's an instagram account called "Medieval Marginalia" which collects a lot of those. :-)

@@DawnMarieX Not the rudest one. The ones where the nuns are picking cocks off the penis tree are.

@@radbarij I believe Terry Gilliam actually is a Medieval Historian, so he definitely would know about this (in fact, he knew that the early Middle Ages weren't a dirty, muddy cesspit like the movie depicts, but that's part of the joke).

Ah makes sense! Very clever of them 😁

Thus proving them innocent in the slaying of that historian. The man that killed him had a real horse.

@@DawnMarieX coconuts were often used in radio dramas, so they decided to make a joke of it and it was such a perfect python joke that if they found the money to use real horses they still would have used coconuts because it's so silly.

And speaking of "cops" - did you ever notice that when they weigh the witch and she actually winds up weighing the same as the duck (their test to see if she's a witch) she actually says "It's a fair cop!"? 🤣 I know people who watched this movie several times yet missed this every time! It's hard to catch all the silly bits they threw into the mix! 😊

I've watched this movie too many times and never caught the meaning of kuh-nigg-its. Thanks.

Thanks for the idea

That is my text message notification too!

Oh, that is genius. LOL. I though I had a good one. I use the sound from the Zelda games when you discover a secret.

Goodness, I can't say how many years that was mine too.

Me, too!

obviously you didn't watch the movie on the same acid I did..... almost too many mooses for me.

No camels or llamas either

@@tric5122 nor swallows

@@BobStein anyway the guy has a dove tied to a coconut ,not a swallow at all .....see the witch scene

And Scientists still have no idea of the airspeed velocity of either sort of swallow carrying coconuts

phuckingthief... thumbs down stolen video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve argued it’s the best cameo

The original poem (edit: Dies Irae, or Day of Wrath) in Latin is real fire-and-brimstone, a listing of all the sinners in Hell, and that’s the climactic end: Pie Iesu Domine, dona eis requiem. Finally reading it after tittering at that for twenty years made it funnier with the juxtaposition of the damnation and the monks hitting their heads with the books.

I think there was just so much to take in! Apparently you see/hear something new every time you watch it 😁

This is why movies like this have to be seen more than once….

@@DawnMarieX Very true. x With this film, you're often laughing from the last gag and miss the next one. 🤣 (Sorry, I didn't get a notification of your reply, it's taken a year!)

I’m on it! 😁

@@DawnMarieX especially the stoning!

@@peterleswell6621 haha don’t give too much away! I’ll be watching it tomorrow and after everyone’s comments I have high expectations 😁

@@DawnMarieX - there's more jokes in Life of Brain. A complete story with an ending you'll be singing about. Oh!! *NO MOOSE or subtitles to read in the credits.*

@@kevinthetruckdriver353 you guys!! I’ll know the whole movie before I’ve even watched it 😂

yea ! The "Green Knight"

Also, the true Quest of the Holy Grail is only to be found by someone who is without sin whatsoever, completely pure or they would be unworthy. Terry Gilliam makes fun of every possible thing involving King Arthur and everything surrounding the UK mythos of it. There is a lot of accuracy to the witch trials, government, filth, pseudo-science, and other things as well.

@@mikecronisto be fair, she not only weighed the same as a duck, but she turned John Cleese into a newt. It’s not as though a more modern court wouldn’t also have suspected her of being a witch. It may not be a capital crime today, but Polyjuicing your neighbors has got to at least count as assault and battery.

And then she replies that her name is "Zoot, just Zoot". As in "I am NOT chaste. Hi, there soldier.".

Chastity yields absolutely no reward

You’re right! 😂

@@DawnMarieX there's a band called Butt Trumpet and they have a song called 'you're ugly'

@@futuramayeah best name ever 😂

Have you never heard of "Blowing the bowel bugle"? or a trump (short for trumpet)? Two alternative names for a fart.

@@speleokeir I have heard a trump 😂 didn’t think of that

Interesting! 😁

If you ever watch the tv show, which I highly recommend, you'll hear that phrase a lot.

Pretty sure she mutters "this is a fair court" sarcastically.

After the crowd carries her off, you can see that the scales weren't balanced at all.

@@danielsmith5088 the show often used the extended version of the quote, "It's a fair cop, but society's to blame."

best ending to a film ever

That’s because they’re not *really* actors… they’re Monty Python. Members of the comedy group.

Oh thank you! That’s interesting to know 😁

Nope. A flying circus is NOT a rotating ensemble of performers. Not sure what cavity you pulled that from, but I can guess...

Monty Python was a couple of Uni Comedy/Acting groups...they consolidated and got a show at the height of BBC TV officiousness and proceeded to give the 'highers' fits. All the movies are good but the show was best. I am a proud owner of the 16 ton DVD collection.

'Monty' is the name of a fellow known by members of the troupe who was a local pub cut-up.

Monty Python is the name of the group. Monty Python’s Flying Circus was their tv show in the 70s.

Every day is a school day 🤓

@@DawnMarieX He's in a crowd scene in "Life of Brian".

@@mike-xn1qj is he really!? That’s awesome

You’re half right...George set up Handmade films to bankroll Life Of Brian after the original production company pulled out due to the subject matter. This film was actually funded by bands like Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull and a few record labels of the time.

@@benmarshall404 ah thanks I only knew that from triva. Now i have a bit more knowledge :)

Life of Brian coming soon! 😁

You pretty much have to watch the Python movies a couple of times to get all of it. In that I mean that while you're preoccupied with what's going on the foreground of a scene, sometimes there is something absolutely absurd going in the background. "The Life of Brian" is packed with silly background activity like that.

Thank you so much for watching! I have heard of faulty towers but never seen it 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@DawnMarieX Then you need to watch Fawlty Towers ASAP!!

If you watch Fawlty Towers, THE episode to watch is the Germans. Don’t mention the war.

@@Rasputin443556 You're right. It's hysterical.

@@Rasputin443556 noted! Thank you 🥰

Ah! I see 😂

You need to be fully immersed in the Monty Python universe to get the mindset of things they carry over from one skit to the next. They used those bits of artwork to transition from one scene to the next in the TV show. The presence of moose etc. is in the spirit of what they did before.

not exactly. monty python are very understandable if you dont understand it its because you arent smart ebough to understand what they try to make understand you.

I think she had to be a guy to understand. Lol

I only just watched the inbetweeners last year! I really need to catch up 😂

😂😂😂

Probably the closest I've seen to what a REAL sword fight would look like in a major Hollywood production is the duel between Vader and Obi-Wan in the original Star Wars. LOTS of footwork, winding, and controlling the line and working for angles. It's actually beautiful. Of course, it helps that the Great Bob Anderson is in the Vader Suit.

I thought it was going to end mid charge! I was just happy to see the french guy again 😂

@@DawnMarieX The french guy is Sir Lancelot and Tim the enchanter and Nearly headless Nick, also Q in some Bond Films and so many more... the one and only John Cleese

@@RIDOLF01 he’s 😍

They had me at the credits 😁

It’s on my list I’ve had so many comments saying to watch airplane! Thanks so much for watching 😁

And Top Secret! Same writers and directors as airplane.

I've used that phrase, as my classic put down, since seeing that film when it came out. I'm 60. Glad you caught the humor of that bit.

It’s on the top of my list! 😁

Romanes eunt domus?

And in game of thrones apparently 😬

@@DawnMarieX Yeah, the scene when Bran is pushed out the window was Doune Castle i think

We visited the castle some years ago and they were building sets for the Outlander tv-series. You can get a headset with Terry Jones from Monty Python guiding you and talking about filming the movie. The castle is used for almost every castle scene in the movie.

The final castle is of course Castle Stalker.

Last time I visited Doune Castle, you could buy two halves of coconut in the shop...!

It was sending up Michael Palin's reputation at the time as being kind of the Paul McCartney of the group, though in actuality he was as out there as anyone in Python

My bad! 😂 I’m working on it though!

@@DawnMarieX 🤣🤣🤣

@@DawnMarieX It was shot in Scotland. They could only get permission to film at one castle - Doune Castle, which doubles for every other castle you see in the film barring those that were cut-outs/models (like Camelot).

@@jonisilk I've been there. The gift shop is mostly stuff from this movie. I've got a picture of me dancing in the hall.

@@jonisilk interesting! 😁

😂😂😂

I thought this! I must have seen it somewhere else

Not exactly. The people actually holding the trials DID know better (contrary to popular culture, learning and education didn't end with the collapse of the Roman Empire, even in the West). This was basically a way to get rid of troublemakers (mostly women who pissed off the church and local authorities by being too independent or smart, or perpetuating pre-Christian folk practices IE medicine which undermined religious and secular authority) under the illusion of a "fair trial," when really it was just a kangaroo court that manufactured evidence in such a way as no matter the outcome it would lead to a conviction. It's no accident that all of the actual tests would ultimately come out in favor of the accusers: Either the person who "passed" the test would die in the process, thus ridding them of the victim, or the victim would "fail," justifying their execution. Consider the practice of ducking: The "witch" was bound and thrown into water. If she floated, the "pure" water rejected her, proving she was a witch, and she would be convicted and executed. And since the human body is naturally buoyant, a "conviction" from this practice was virtually guaranteed. One the chance she DID sink she was innocent, but that was a small comfort considering she would be left to drown, anyway.

The best part of that scene is when John Cleese takes an ultra long pause before saying the "because they're made out of wood" line. Watch closely and you can see Eric Idle bite his sword to keep from cracking up and breaking character.

All noted! Thank you so much 🥰

Don’t forget Idiocracy

I love Top Secret! I think it's very underrated within the genre.

I thought so! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

Except for the castle at the end. That was castle Stalker.

@@DawnMarieX Most of the movie was filmed in Scotland.

Aww thank you so much! 🥰

I’m loving these recommendations! I’ll be kept busy for a while 🥰

@@DawnMarieX The 6 members of the group wrote, directed and starred in the film, each playing several roles. Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam shared directing duties, Gilliam is also the animator and the only American in the group. He's had a career of directing such films as "The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen" (watch this one), "Brazil" and "12 Monkeys".

You would probably enjoy Terry Gilliam's first solo film Jabberwocky (1977), which stars Michael Palin. It is also a funny medieval story. It has the same visual style (The same director of photography as The holy grail).

@@mvjonsson Thanks! I saw it recently.

I can imagine! Thank you so much for watching 🥰 and commenting

I realised that! 😁

I have watched it many times, i still don't have a count of the times cats are in the movie.

Thank you so much! I’m on it 🥰

@@DawnMarieX Second that!

I really didn’t mind! I thought it was going to end mid charge 😂

I will be checking it out! 😁

It’s a redo of a number of sketches from the Flying Circus television program, which was originally unavailable in the US. If you watch the first two seasons of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, you see all of these, though with different transitions and other little changes.

Well I am very intelligent 🤓

That’s amazing 😁

I've cut a coconut in half. And they make exactly this noise.

It really didn’t put me off watching the rest but nobody would miss it if it was cut 😁

@@keremmazman3761 maybe... 😏

I was calling myself clever for noticing 😂

I will definitely have to check it out then 😁

Thank you so much for watching! 🥰 that’s so interesting too I’m loving everyone’s comments!

The Meaning of Life is just plain insane! Be prepared if you decide to watch it- it’s full of graphic violence, gore, sex, nudity, copious vomit, and other sundry obscenties. It’s funny, but it’s definitely not a comfortable watch. They pushed things as far as they could in that one. The wonderful songs almost make up for it, though. I made the huge mistake of introducing a girl I was friends with to Monty Python by showing her that movie. Needless to say, it was just too much for her and didn’t exactly make her want to check out more of their stuff.

I see now that you already reacted to it years ago. I’ll have to watch that tonight!

Dawn Marie Anderson, I think it’s hilarious that you found that slur against Scots (“You mankey Scotch gint!”) funny. 😆
