4:40 The plague / black death was endemic throughout the middle ages (no antibiotics - so very high mortality) ) although the paek was a few hundred years later when nearly one third of the population was wiped out. So yes - collecting the dead was a real thing.

Yes, but the statistic that is generally quoted is for the general population. In individual towns, it could be a higher % (while some towns had almost no deaths). The other problem was that these deaths happened basically all at the same time.
There is some idea that unlike say Egypt, in Europe at the time, cats were considered helpers of demons and witches, and were eradicated. This let the rodent population explode unchecked. The plague was transmitted by fleas on these vermin. At the same time, legends arose that if a farmer left a saucer of milk out at time, this would attract "the little people," - called at various places as fairies, goblins, elves, leprechauns, pixies, and so on.
@@johnnehrich9601 I think the number of places that were untouched in England was fairly small. The only real protection was total isolation or having a rare genetic resistance. There were multiple outbreaks between 1348 and 1666. If the first outbreak didn't reach your village then one of the next 4 would.
It was a trojan bunny! 🙂...and I was SO looking forward to your reaction to The Castle Anthrax..🙂🙂
And of course, she cut out the rude bits.
You cut out the entire rabbit scene? That's a strange choice.

"These subtitles don't make sense, but the rest will" of course not. Monty Python is Brit absurdist comedy Groupe.
My favorite skit of theirs was" the funniest joke in the world" skit
You missed the Venezuelan reference in the opening credits.
I've forgotten the Nixon reference so many times.
I absolutely loved your genuine reactions! Phenomenal Job!
Thank you so much!!
It is not known whether there was a real figure upon which the legends of King Arthur are based. There are many versions of the legends which have been elaborated upon by different authors over the centuries. If there was a real figure then he was probably from the fifth or sixth century after the Romans had left Britain. However most of the well known legends set it in some unspecified but certainly later period than that with the stories containing Norman style castles, armour and weapons. This tendency for the legends to contain anachronisms is reflected in the film with its references to the plague, witch burning etc which are from centuries after the 932 AD date the film purports to be set in.
Sir Galahad the pure (the Knight who was tempted in the film by the ladies of Castle Anthrax) is said to have found the Holy Grail in some legends but to have then died immediately after finding it and to have risen into heaven. Hence Arthur never finds the Grail - leaving it for others such as Indiana Jones to seek out in later films :)
In an early version of the script for the film they were apparently going to find the Holy Grail in Harrods Department Store in London since apparently they have everything there.
The ending was a literal cop out and the reason that there were no ending credits is that the credit writers had all been sacked at the beginning of the film.
(And the real reason was that they had run out of money and wanted to troll the cinema audience)
It was Eric Idle's suggestion that they just have the police officer stick his hand into the camera. If you watch their TV show, you will notice that each sketch has a link (usually an animation) to the next sketch. It was common then when doing sketch comedy to build up the scene, and deliver a punchline at the end. The Pythons hated writing punchlines, so they decided to simply link sketches together to avoid having to have a punchline.
@@InsaneRabbitDaddy Or by having an authority figure usually the Colonel (Graham Chapman) come on and end the sketch because it was getting too silly.
It's satire it's not suppose to make sense. If you over examine comedy that's when it falls flat. But i'm glad you enjoyed it 😊.
"They just want a garden!"
The Knights Who Formerly Said Ni shouting "A path! A path!" is so funny to me. The Pythons have a ton of great little background moments like that.
in reality the grail was Mary Magdelene
Did you realise that the last castle is built on the remains of all of the sunken castles?😂
NO
The grail is a mystical cup with supernatural powers. Its true origin and nature differs depending on the time period and exact saga. Sometimes it is considered to be the cup Jesus used during the Last Supper, sometimes it is pagan in nature.
The cocnut joke came by necessity btw - the budget for the movie was so small that they could only afford to rent a single horse (the one that is shown in the scene with the famous historian).
4:13 Not at all. The Medieval period was not at all as it is typically depicted in movies.
It was super low-budget and they couldn't really afford horses so they just went with it and turned it into a joke. You might want to check out the next film - Monty Python's Life of Brian
They'd decided on the coconuts, and the many scenes which depended on the coconut/swallow running joke, in the first draft of the script... long before they knew what budget they'd have. Come to think of it, they'd probably have spent more on the (human) extras/actors clopping the coconut shells together than they would have spent on horses.
@@ftumschk Not according to John Cleese and Michael Palin. You listen to John saying so in an interview with Seth Meyers on TH-cam if you like. Apart from that, movie trained horses cost a fortune - many, many times the cost of an extra. And many of the "horses" were played by the Monty Python team - Terry Gilliam played "Patsy", Eric Idle played "Concorde" etc
@@Shoomer1988 Actors like nothing better than making stuff up or repeating a "good story" if it gets them a laugh. And it doesn't matter what Cleese/Palin might have said or imagined decades later, the earliest definitive "biography" of Monty Python interviewed Terry Jones, who directed and co-wrote Holy Grail, and he doesn't mention this story at all. Instead, he said that one of the others (he thought it was Palin, but couldn't be sure) came up with the idea of clopping coconut-shells in an early brainstorming session, long before the script was written and the budget was known. The cocunut-clopping was already in the earliest drafts of the script... which were _definitely_ written before budgets were discussed.
I'm afraid that Monty Python is full of such urban legends, some of which the actors have been happy to go along with, and many of which are happily regurgitated by fans as if they're true. Almost none of them are, and the clopping coconut myth is one example of that. In "Grail" terms, the other BS story is that Cleese forgot the name of the wizard he played, and that "There are some who call me... Tim" was an ad-lib. It wasn't. Like the coconut-related stuff, it was in the script from the get-go.
@@ftumschk So we have some of the crew saying one thing and some of crew saying another. How do we know Terry didn't just make it up? After all sctors like nothing better than making stuff up or repeating a "good story"
did you notes its all the same castle
no )
@@VenezuelaGirlReacts They had scouted out a number of castles in Scotland to use, but a week before shooting was to begin The National Trust for Scotland, who owned all those castles, told them they couldn't use them. So, they found a privately owned castle in Scotland, and filmed all the movie's castle scenes there.
except for Camelot, which was only a model.
@@macroman52🤣
@@macroman52 It is a silly place.
21:09 And there was much rejoicing. Yay!
Great reaction choice!
The Holy Grail is the ultimate MacGuffin ; ).
And just to be clear, it referred to the cup or chalice used by Jesus at the Last Supper. By any accounts in the bible, this was a humble meal with simple utensils, but the legend grew it was gold with jewels and had magical healing powers. (Not sure you could prove it was THE cup - not like they had Jesus's lip prints on file.)
You nailed it. Monty Python was primarily a British sketch comedy TV show, so this movie is a linked series of sketches.
"Monty Python's Flying Circus (also known as simply Monty Python) is a British surreal sketch comedy series created by and starring Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Terry Gilliam, who became known collectively as "Monty Python", or the "Pythons". The first episode was recorded at the BBC on 7 September 1969 and premiered on 5 October on BBC1, with 45 episodes airing over four series from 1969 to 1974, plus two episodes for German TV. A feature film adaptation of several sketches, And Now for Something Completely Different, was released in 1971."
The ending is a literal "cop-out"!
Yes, and at the time, all the "hip" people (who watched the previous night's episode) would gather at the water cooler and throw these inane lines, in proper accent and tone, at each other. It became a sort of on-going in-joke.
You should take a look at The Life of Brian, many consider it the greatest comedy ever.
1. What about the moose?
2. Paying attention to the opening credits makes it better for everyone, including you.
3. The first time I saw this was in the back of a pickup at a drive-in (it's still here) with my siblings and a couple of friends.
4. Perfect Monty Python where you can just get sucked into something where you don't have to think about anything and just let yourself go.
5. "What ya gonna do? Bleed on me."🤣 "we'll call it a draw" 🤣
6. Quick bit: "Blow it out your ass"!
7. The ultimate cock block 😭
8. Robin's shield is a chicken.
9.The only horse in the film is ridden by the guy that killed the historian.
10.The ending sucked. It was a cop out. Literally
They ran out of 🤑🤑
these days you can find palm trees in parts of the UK ;)
when your watching monty,you need to embrace the silly
and the seariouse
I will look forward to this later with a beer 🍻
I've heard it said that the reason that there will never be a lady pope, is because on the very first day she would open a cupboard in the kitchen and find the holy grail that the men haven't been able to find for 500 years.
the original cosplay lol
The application of logic to this film is punishable by The Spanish Inquisition.
"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"
