Editorial Reviews
This special edition DVD release of Monty Python and the Holy Grail is essential stuff for all Python diehards. Not only is there 100+ minutes of bonus material, but there is "for people who don't like the film," a function that takes one directly to lunatic screenplay, lyrics for the sing-alongs, all with the movie's Killer Rabbit there to guide you. And of course, there is also the film and the troupe. Attempting to describe the Monty Python sensibility to the uninitiated is a little like attempting to describe what life after death is like to the living -- you kind of have to be there. The British bad-boy comedy troupe dish out lunacy of the highest order, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail is arguably their purest work. Following the basic story of King Arthur (Graham Chapman) and his quest to find the Holy Grail, they strew the narrative with some of the wackiest gags to ever hit the screen, along with plenty of body parts. Highlights include The Knights Who Say "Ni--," the Trojan Rabbit, and John Cleese's "invincible" Black Knight. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is surprisingly detailed in its re-creation of the Middle Ages, but the climactic battle at the end featuring hordes of extras is suddenly halted by the arrival of a modern-day squad of bobbies who break up the shenanigans and confiscate the camera. Historical comedy the way it oughtta be! Kenneth Chanko, Barnes & Noble
