Trivia:
Day one of filming was plagued with problems: after an extended trek into the Glen Coe hills the crew's only sync camera sheared its gears and the team could only shoot mute shots that involved crossing the Bridge of Death. Graham Chapman suffered from delirium tremens (a side-effect of his alcoholism) and froze when trying to cross the Bridge of Death, thus having to be doubled by the first assistant director.

Goofs:
Crew or equipment visible: After Lancelot rescues Galahad from Castle Anthrax, a crew member is briefly visible shortly after the knights go around an outside corner of the castle, just before the scene ends (look on the left side of the screen).

In the Realm of King Arthur, the Monty Python team set out on a quest to recruit the best Knights in the kingdom and find the Holy Grail.
This is Classic Python Mayhem, where we encounter Killer rabbits, Knights who go Nee! and Horny Nuns who lure the unsuspecting in with there Grail Shaped Beacon.
The Cast all give Typically Hilarious Performances, bringing another must see to the Python Loving Audience.
If You Like Monty Python, you'll love it, if you don't then stay away.
If you've never seen Monty Python before then give it a try, yes it's dated but its still great fun.
9/10
