King Arthur (Graham Chapman) and his Knights of the Round Table embark on a strange, low-budget quest for the Holy Grail, facing a slew of ridiculous hurdles. Excalibur 2 (1981) Please give it another go. It's definitely not as bad as everyone says it is. Now, onto something more relevant to this site... The knights are all played by British actors. They're basically a bunch of random people who happen to be able to act well enough to make this film somewhat enjoyable to watch. I've already talked about Sir Lancelot (Nigel Hawthorne), but there are several other knights in this movie: Galahad (Patrick Allen), Bors (John Hurt), Percival (Paul Freeman), and even King Arthur himself at one point or another. All of these characters are very much alive and well today, acting in major roles in popular culture. You probably know some of them from the film, others not so much. Anyways, these are all British actors playing various characters in the story of King Arthur. There are also several non-British characters included in the movie: Two French lords and a German knight play important roles in the story. There's also a young woman named Elaine (Caroline John) who falls in love with Lancelot.
