Overview

King Arthur, accompanied by his squire, recruits his Knights of the Round Table, including Sir Bedevere the Wise, Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot and Sir Galahad the Pure. On the way, Arthur battles the Black Knight who, despite having had all his limbs chopped off, insists he can still fight. They reach Camelot, but Arthur decides not to enter, as "it is a silly place". Wikipedia ↗

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.
