    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The Pope/Michelangelo sketch was based on a historical incident. The Renaissance artist Paolo Veronese really did paint a "Last Supper" with extraneous contemporary elements. The Inquisition investigated and advised him to remove those elements. Instead, he really did just rename it - to "Feast in the House of Levi".
    • Goofs
      During the Bishop on the Landing Skit, a number of the actors could barely keep a straight face, and also when the church police came onstage and everyone jumped over, Terry Jones's wig flew completely off his head, forcing the other actors to slowly close ranks to allow him to replace his wig without anyone seeing.
    • Quotes

      First Bruce: We find your American beer like making love in a canoe. It's fucking close to water.

    • Crazy credits
      At the very end of the film, the giant video screen changes from showing "The End" to "PISS OFF" which flashes repeatedly on the screen.
    • Alternate versions
      Some older VHS versions of the show omit the "Little Red Riding Hood" segment.
    • Connections
      Edited from Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969)
    • Soundtracks

    Laserdisc is disappointing, movie itself good.
    Most of the sketches and skits are adapted from ones shown on the TV show; there's little that's new, which is mildly disappointing. Good thing, then, that the MP troupe is so adept; familiarity seems to be the point, and allows fans to sit back and enjoy the film.

    A few parts drag- I wasn't too thrilled with the musical numbers, nor with the History of Slapstick.

    The most disappointing thing about this movie is a problem only for those who watch it on laserdisc; there are no chapter breaks, and side one ends abruptly -IN THE MIDDLE OF A SCENE-! This is quite disconcerting, and ruins the sketch.
