"Makes Ben Hur look like an Epic"

The King Arthur and The Round Table saga about the search for the Holy Grail is portrayed a bit differently in this comedy from Monty Python. With a killer monster rabbit and many outrageous encounters this smart comedy has become a cult classic.

Movie Trivia/Goofs

  • Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): Tim the Enchanter refers to the Killer Rabbit as a rodent. Rabbits are lagomorphs, not rodents. It's worth noting that not everyone in the film's time period is not that smart, Tim probably just thought the rabbit was a rodent. Or he was using rodent as a derogatory term.
  • During one of the first screenings of the film in front of a live audience, director Terry Jones noticed that when music was played during the jokes, there was a marked reduction of laughter from the audience. He went back and edited the music out whenever a punchline was delivered. At subsequent screenings he noticed a dramatic increase in the audiences' positive reactions to the jokes. From that point on, whenever he directed, he remembered to stop the music for the funny parts.
  • Additional cat abuse includes a cat being stepped on during the Knights of Camelot Dance scene.
  • Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the witch-trial scene, John Cleese and Eric Idle barely restrain genuine laughter. Look for Eric Idle biting a scythe.
