I saw it here in the cinema when it was 1st released, and I can't
remember any quickie before it. I'm pretty sure I would have
remembered it if there was.

The thing about the MoL feature is that it also appeared in the film
itself, so there was much more made of it. That's why it's on the
vid and all. Actually a while ago, it was shown here on TV, and they
didn't quite realise that it DID have any significance, so they had
to show the CPA after the MoL... it must have really confused anyone
seein it for the 1st time.

I don't thin ANFSCD had any special supporting feature, since it
wasn't really as much of a film as the others, and I doubt it did,
since later unofficially Python films such as Jabberwocky, and
Yellowbeard didn't have them.

Couldn't be too sure about any of that, but I just thought I'd be
serious for a while.

MNSio.

Splunge.
