Monty Python strikes again!
King Arthur (Chapman) encounters a series of ridiculous obstacles while trying to recruit the Knights of the Round Table and then embark upon a heroic search for the Holy Grail, bestowed upon them by God, who it turns out hates people groveling, averting their eyes and apologizing. Along the way Arthur and the boys are plagued by taunting French guards, the Knights who say NI, sexy maidens, killer rabbits, the bridge of death and other oddities. A bit long and slow (feels longer than it actually is) and ends abruptly, but still very funny.
Best gags -
1) The Coconut/Swallow guards.
2) The constitutional peasants ("Help, help!! I'm being repressed!")
3) Arthur VS The Black Knight ("The Black Knight always triumphs! Have at you!")
4) Camelot ("Let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.")
5) The Encounter with God ("Oh don't grovel! If there's one thing I can't stand it's groveling!")
6) The Knights who say NI
7) The Bridge of Death ("Well you have to know these things when you're king, you know.")
