    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Writer and Actor Terry Gilliam asked British animation legend Bob Godfrey if he could use his camera to re-create his animated sequences for this movie, Godfrey didn't know who Gilliam was and told him to "bugger off". Later, Godfrey found out that Gilliam was a member of the Monty Python team and helped him complete the sequences for this movie.
    • Goofs
      During the mountaineer sketch, Eric Idle clearly breaks character and suppresses laughter when John Cleese reads from the dictionary.
    • Quotes

      Customer: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.

      Owner: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!

      Customer: "VOOM"? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!

      Owner: No no! 'E's pining!

      Customer: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!

    • Crazy credits
      After the opening theme song, a "THE END" screen comes up, and stage manager Terry Jones apologises for the brevity of the film.
    • Alternate versions
      At the last minute, producer Victor Lownes insisted on having a big credit in the opening title sequence (which had no names otherwise), a static drawing which some animation was removed to make room for. Most copies of the film use this version, but some, such as an early German video transfer, retain the cut footage (between the title and the parachuting lady): about 4 seconds of a head bouncing around a landscape and finally shattering on a giant tack in the middle of the ground.

    Contractual Obligation
    This film really didn't need to be made - but at the time, after two excellent TV series, the Pythons were under pressure to produce a big-screen version for wider distribution.

    Thus a number of sketches from the first two series were rewritten, tightened up, and re-enacted, entirely on film. The actual new material is probably around 2% of the script, and I hold the view that many of the sketches were inferior to their TV versions, and much of the better series 1 and 2 stuff (Spanish Inquisition, Silly Walks etc.) didn't even make it to ANFSCD for some reason.

    It's interesting to watch the differences in production and compare this material to how it was originally done, and the new devices for linking one sketch to the next keep you on your toes.

    But ultimately if you want to watch early python sketches, the TV versions are more rewarding.
