Despite persistent rumors, the Pythons never intended to use the title "Jesus Christ's Lust For Glory". During production of Monty Python e o Cálice Sagrado (1975), they became increasing irritated by the press, who seemed to always ask the same questions, such as "What will your next project be?" One day, Eric Idle flippantly answered, "Jesus Christ's Lust For Glory". It quickly shut up reporters, and the group adopted it as their stock answer. After production completed, they realized that while satirizing Christ was out of the question, they could create a parody of first-century life. An early idea for a scene involved Jesus, a skilled carpenter, frustrated by being crucified on a poorly-built cross. See more »
Goofs
The prisoners carry crosses considerably smaller than the ones they end up being crucified upon. See more »
At the very end (after copyright) is still shown: If you have enjoyed this film, why not go and see "La Notte"? See more »
Alternate Versions
The film was originally over two hours long, but was edited down after audience previews. Amongst the scenes that were cut were an opening sequence in which the three shepherds attend the birth of Brian, and more scenes featuring King Otto, some of which were restored for the DVD release.

Personally, I believe this to be one of the most intelligent comedies ever made. It might not appear that way at first because the film does have its share of simple slapstick and "naughty" moments, but generally, the topics the Pythons tackle here are very serious - albeit dealt with in a way that makes this a true contender for the funniest film of all time.
A firework of hilarious sketches, timeless quotes and clever comments on the human condition, this film was deemed too dangerous for the masses and therefore, until recently, banned in several countries (normally, this only used to happen to the so called "Video Nasties").
This film never once makes fun of Jesus (Christ) - but it DOES take the mickey out of blind, fanatic followers of any political movement or religion.
An outstanding achievement and endlessly re-watchable.
