    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    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

    Surprisingly good for a filmed stage show
    Many of my favourites were here (including the classic travel agent sketch: "Kellogg's Bornflakes"). But many of my favourites were also in And Now For Something Completely Different, and I didn't really like that. Something about the live atmosphere made this work, the fits of giggles adding to the occasion, not detracting from it. Best of all was the brand new stuff - the Silly Olympics, the History of Slapstick etc. I wish I was there.
