Storyline
Irreverent satire of Biblical films and religious intolerance focuses on Brian, a Jew in Roman-occupied Judea. After joining up with an anti-Roman political organization, Brian is mistaken for a prophet, and becomes a reluctant Messiah. Written by Scott Renshaw <as.idc@forsythe.stanford.edu>

Brian?s mother: Who are you?
Wise Man #2: We are three wise men.
Brian?s mother: What?
Wise Man #1: We are three wise men.
Brian?s mother: Well, what are you doing creeping around a cow shed at two o'clock in the morning? That doesn't sound very wise to me.

Trivia
Diana Quick, Maureen Lipman and Judy Loe auditioned for the role of Judith. Quick was offered the role but had to withdraw, owing to contract commitments with the Royal Shakespeare Company. See more »Goofs
Audio/visual unsynchronized: During the crucifixion scene at the end, the first line delivered by Otto (of the suicide squad) appears to have been over-dubbed and does not match the line spoken at the time of filming. This is because an earlier scene featuring Otto and the suicide squad was cut, and thus a different line was required to introduce them (spoken by Michael Palin). See more »Quotes
