    • Quotes

      [Lurkalot is making up some potion in his Laboratory as he speaks to the naive, mentally deficient Knot Weed De Custard]

      Knotweed: [pointing] What's that?

      Lurkalot: That is my latest batch of home made Aphrodisiac.

      Knotweed: Well. What's that?

      Lurkalot: Aphrodisiac? Well it you know. Gets you going.

      Knotweed: Going where?

      Lurkalot: Look. This is for people you see who want to, but they can't. And they take some of this you see, and they can. Like Rattlesnakes.

      Knotweed: Do What?

      Lurkalot: [exasperated] Rattle.

    10/10
    Funnier sequel to the legendary Up Pompeii
    This film does not have as funny a theme song, but most of the jokes are funnier. Howerd plays Lurkalot, a serf, who bears a striking likeness to Richard the Lionheart, and goes off to fight in the crusades. Eartha Kitt puts in a performance as Scheherazade, and there is a surprise about the reality of the Crusades.
