Monty Python’s Holy Grail is a movie one can hardly put into words. A type of over the top humor delivered in a comedy sketch style. Coming off of their TV series and movie “And now for something Completely Different”, which was compiled from their most popular sketches, Monty Python wanted to make a turn into a more typical motion picture.
It starts out following King Arthur (the late Graham Chapman) as he journeys through medieval lands, searching for the Holy Grail. Along the way he has hilarious encounters, such as a Knight who refuses to stop fighting even with no limbs left, a killer rabbit, and some quirky Frenchman. He runs into Sir Lancelot (John Cleese), who slaughters a whole city to save a prince that doesn’t actually need saving, Sir Bedevere the Wise( Terry Jones), Sir Galahad (Michael Palin) who finds himself in a castle surrounded by beautiful women wanting to have oral sex with him, and the not so brave Sir Robin ( Eric Idle) all on the quest for the Holy Grail. Filmed on a tiny budget of 150,000 pounds throughout Scotland, they succeeded in making an all time classic comedy film. If you consider yourself a film fanatic, I recommend you own a copy of this movie. That is, of course, if you want to laugh so much you can’t breathe. I cannot even count how many times I’ve watched it. And even better, this is only one of the 5 Monty Python films, the others I will be reviewing right here, at CinemaSquad.
