Overview
About the Film
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a 1975 British comedy film directed by Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones, written and performed by the Monty Python comedy troupe: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. Monty Python and the Holy Grail was made on an absurdly small budget — approximately $400,000, partly funded by rock bands including Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Genesis — and the production's financial limitations became creative assets, with coconut halves substituting for horses becoming one of cinema's most beloved running gags. The film's style of comedy — intellectual, absurdist, anarchic, and relentlessly quotable — has influenced virtually every comedy that followed.
Nearly every scene has entered the cultural lexicon, from "It's just a flesh wound" to "We are the knights who say Ni!" Monty Python and the Holy Grail earned approximately $5 million in its initial release and has generated incalculable cultural currency in the five decades since.
