After the success of Monty Python's Flying Circus in the UK and US, the six Ambassadors of Anarchy got the right to make films. This 1975 effort was their second go-round (after 1971's And Now for Something Completely Different, which featured redone versions of several sketches from the first two seasons of Circus) and quite possibly both their most famous and most often quoted.A complete skewering of the Arthurian Legend, it tells the story of King Arthur and his attempt to build a court at Camelot. note  'tis a silly place. Once he assembles his crew (off-screen, mostly), he has a vision of God (or a reasonable drawing of same by Terry Gilliam based on a famous cricket player), informing him that to cement his name in immortality, he must seek the Holy Grail— the cup used at the Last Supper of Christ, and which caught his blood after the crucifixion. After a long and roundabout search which leads them to the far corners of the Kingdom and past idiosyncratic knights, the world's oldest harem, and a very nasty rabbit, they discover the Grail is supposedly located in a very old castle, which has fallen into the hands of those heathen enemies— the French.Those nasty taunting bastards.Full of random quips, hilarious stand-alone scenes, and the type of comedic anarchy and anticlimax that practically defines British comedy even to this day, the movie was a low-budget success story and has become a cult classic over time. It also revealed Michael Palin's versatility, as he played something like 10 roles over the course of the film. He's not alone, of course; the majority of people and about 80% of the lines are from the Pythonites, leading to some interesting blocking and directing decisions. (Watch Lancelot's helmet.)Or, if you want to be "artsy" about it, see Eric Idle's Broadway adaptation, Spamalot!.The film was adapted into a point-and-click adventure game for CD-ROM in 1996 as Monty Python & the Quest for the Holy Grail by 7th Level, as what would be the second of the company's three Monty Python-related projects.Just a side note — because Terry Jones was, in fact, an Arthurian scholar, this happens to be not just the funniest but the most accurate film adaptation of Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur ever made, though it is not to be confused with the original myths or other tellings of King Arthur and the Holy Grail. Some of the humour, in fact, is derived from typical Pythonian spins on events and characterizations from the original tales. It also meant that Jones knew how to caricature a story already muddied by Pop Culture Osmosis.

Scales of Justice: In a scene a suspected witch is put on the scales to see if she weighs the same as a duck (and therefore floats, is made of wood, is flammable, and hence a witch), but the scales are obviously unbalanced. (Then again, she does say "It's a fair cop..." implying that she is a witch after all.)

Artistic Licence – History: A man announcing himself as the "King of the Britons" and "Defeater of the Saxons" would never have concluded with "Sovereign of all England". The reason a Briton would have been fighting the Saxons in the first place would be to prevent the establishment of "England", which means "Land of the Anglo-Saxons". Besides, if the story really was taking place in 932AD as is claimed, then Britain would already be predominantly Anglo-Saxon, with the primary foreign threat coming from the Danes.

Anyone Can Die: For a comedy, this film has an awfully high mortality rate. Indeed, all that remains of Arthur's band by the end is Arthur himself, Bedevere, and Lancelot. Not that it does them any good, as they all get carted off to jail.

Abnormal Ammo
 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_12c65d9b
comment
Abnormal Ammo: The cow and large wooden rabbit the French fling at the English knights. Catapulting real animals— which the French also do — was a legitimate strategy in sieges, but they were usually dead animals meant to spread disease, not living livestock. Oh, and it was an attack strategy — the animals flung into a besieged castle — as defenders had more trouble getting rid of the corpses without letting the attackers in. The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, ultimately used to defeat the Killer Rabbit.

Diabolus ex Nihilo: The Dreaded Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh is never mentioned before (only glimpsed by the audience, not the Knights, just before the And There Was Much Rejoicing moments) or after its appearance and has nothing to do with anything (despite sharing its name with a few other set pieces). Although it's probably not from space, it wouldn't be the only Monty Python alien in a historical parody.

Deliberately Distressed Damsel
 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_13a5a275
comment
After Lancelot "saves" him from Castle Anthrax, Galahad accuses Lancelot of being gay, which he denies. Subsequently, we see Lancelot rush to a castle to rescue a "damsel" who turns out to be the very effeminate Prince Herbert — who already had an escape plan. So not-gay, ostentatiously-hyper-masculine Lancelot ends up answering the personal ad of a young feminine guy who isn't at all interested in marrying a girl with huge... tracts of land.

Crashing Through the Harem
 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_14c10915
comment
Crashing Through the Harem: Sir Galahad fights his way through a forest in a storm until he finds Castle Anthrax, which has a Grail-shaped beacon overhead. He bangs on the door, and when it opens he falls inside. He meets several young women, one of whom tells him that the castle contains eight score young blondes and brunettes, all between the ages of 16 and 19½. As Sir Galahad escapes from two naughty female doctors, he enters a room filled with the aforementioned eight score young women. Just as he decides to stay, Sir Lancelot arrives to "rescue" him and get him to continue the Grail quest. Sir Galahad then proceeds to call him gay.

"GET ON WITH IT!!" "Look! There's the old man from Scene 24!" Patsy: [referring to Camelot] "It's only a model"note SHHH!!!!. "The animator of the movie suffered a fatal heart attack . . ."

 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_1e7c47ab
comment
Stealth Pun: Due to the film having No Budget and the crew getting frustrated by its Troubled Production, there was no way they could have an epic Final Battle to close the movie. So instead, the characters are anti-climactically arrested by police officers for a random murder committed earlier in the movie, and the film ends without a real conclusion. It's a cop-out. Describing a woman as having "huge tracts of land" accompanied by hand gestures indicating she has a large chest. The potential bride is described as having property, which, given the era, she would not have owned outright, but would have made up her dowry, to go to her husband upon marriage. Thus she was literally "well-endowed." In today's language a woman is "well-endowed" if she has a large chest. On the Special Edition DVD, the film opens with a clip from the 1961 British film Dentist on the Job; the off-screen projectionist realizes his mistake and switches over to the film proper. On the surface, this is just standard Python humour, but the joke comes from the film's American title: Get On with It. As explained by Terry Gilliam in the 40th anniversary Blu-Ray, the image of W.G. Grace as God was meant to be a reference to "The Grace of God".

Chekhov's Gag: Several; the debate about swallows is foremost. It comes back for a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot at the beginning of the witch-burning scene, when Sir Bedevere is apparently attempting to see if a bird can fly with a coconut tied to its legs, and again near the finale, when Arthur's experience with the subject gives him an edge over the Bridgekeeper.

Chekhov's Gun: Halfway through the film, a historian appears to summarize the next part of the plot and is murdered. Later, Arthur, Sir Bedevere, and Sir Lancelot are stopped on their quest and arrested for his murder. Arthur's overheard information about swallows and coconuts. Used to launch someone off a bridge.

Anachronism Stew
 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_259d5879
comment
Anachronism Stew: Although the film is surprisingly faithful to its setting and source material, a good amount of this does still feature for comedy's sake; this is, after all, a Monty Python work. (And also because there's a lot of it in the source material itself.) The Arthur of real-world legend is believed to have lived in the 5th or 6th Century AD. It was Athelstan, founder of the unified Kingdom of England, who was on the throne in 932. The leader of the French soldiers hears chainsaw and buzzsaw noises coming from the forest when Arthur and his knights are building the Trojan rabbit. The modern-day police officers coming to arrest Arthur and his mob at the end of the movie. Arthur notes that "That rabbit's dynamite." Dynamite wouldn't be invented for another millennium. The Holy Hand Grenade. Although this film is technically set in 932 AD, the knights in the movie predominantly wear great helms, which were not developed until the late 12th Century (and wouldn't mature until the 13th Century). Additionally, most of them sport surcoats, also primarily a 12th Century innovation. This video goes into detail about how armour developed in Western Europe during the High and Late Middle Ages. Judging by the facts highlighted in the overview, this film's time period would be much more accurate if it were set roughly 300 years later (circa 1232 AD). Castles are plentiful in the movie, but were not common in Britain until the 1000s, a whole century after the film's supposed setting. The peasants practise anarcho-syndicalism, an ideology that arose in the late nineteenth century. This video points out some other anachronisms: as the Black Plague (which actually occurred four centuries later), the self-flagellating monks (also four centuries later), and the witch trials (five centuries later).

Mythology Gag

comment
Mythology Gag: Sir Bedevere is the first knight to follow Arthur. The character of Bedevere (Welsh: Bedwyr) appeared in Arthurian legend before Lancelot, Galahad and the rest (except Sir Robin who is new). Sir Bedevere is also the last of Arthur's knights to remain. In Malory's Le Morte D Arthur he is the last knight alive after the final battle where Arthur is mortally wounded. Sir Robin was mentioned to have wet himself at the Battle of Badon Hill. This battle was apparently a real event which Arthur became associated with. It frequently comes up in discussions about the historical basis for the Arthur legends. Sir Lancelot's squire Concorde shares a name with the steed of the Flying Circus character Dennis Moore (also played by Lancelot's actor John Cleese) from the episode "Dennis Moore".

Hypocritical Humour: The Knights Who Say "Ni!" have a deathly aversion to the word "it," yet moments before after King Arthur brings them a shrubbery, the head Knight says "It is a good shrubbery." Then after the Knights repulse after Arthur uses the word "it" in a response, the head Knight says "Aagh! He said it again!" Prior, when Arthur asks what word not to say, the head Knight says "I cannot tell; suffice to say is one of the words the Knights of Ni cannot hear!"

Burn the Witch!
 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_352def2a
comment
Doubly subverted when Sir Bedevere is approached by a mob of superstitious villagers who think they have caught a witch and accordingly want permission to burn her. When Bedevere asks them the obvious question of how they know the woman is a witch, they only come up with nonsensical non-evidence ("she looks like one", "she has a wart", and a perfectly human-shaped man claiming she turned him into a newt). The impression that Bedevere is a voice of reason trying to talk the villagers out of their superstitious fury is soon scattered when Bedevere instead uses a string of equally nonsensical "logical" conclusions to "prove" that witches are made of wood (because they burn), and therefore weigh the same as a duck (because ducks float, like wood). By use of a pair of giant scales, Bedevere and the villagers proceed to determine that the suspect weighs the same as a duck, and accordingly the woman is hauled off as a witch.

The Guards Must Be Crazy: The Swamp Castle guards watch their prisoner blatantly write a request for help, grab a bow, and then shoot it out a window. They do nothing because their orders did not include stopping him from doing so. Prior to this, there was a long string of miscommunications regarding what their task was, so it also makes perfect sense. Sir Lancelot invades the castle right through the front gate. Two door guards simply watch him running toward them, unfazed by a man in mail charging at them with sword in hand. Lancelot then slaughters one guard before running inside; the other stands and watches, only calling "Hey!" after Lancelot charges past him.

Ambiguous Gender: Despite being a prince, Herbert has very pale makeup, long blonde hair, and wears a long tunic. At one point, his father mistakenly calls him "Alice", and even Lancelot mistakes him for a lady.

Scenery Porn: In its own Pythonesque way. There are many background shots of the British countryside, with the director's commentary saying it is amazing how the background could look so naturally beautiful on a shoestring budget. Notable moments are the setting of the Black Knight scene (Epping Forest near London), bluebells in the wood during the "Brave Sir Robin" scene, An Insert of Cheddar Gorge just before this, and the mountainous terrain in the Tim the Enchanter scene. Terry Gilliam's animation is also beautiful, especially the sunset which follows the absurd scene of the sun and clouds jumping up and down.

Combat Pragmatist: Despite how absurd the film is, the fight between the Green and Black Knights is actually very close to how a fight would have gone in the Middle Ages. The fighters use not only the blades of their swords, but also the pommel and cross guard. Kicks and punches are thrown and the knights attack the other while they are down.

Sir Galahad , after stating he seeks the Grail, is informed that it's not the first time that they've had that problem, and that he must punish the offending girl by tying her on a bed and spanking her soundly, with the other girls quickly insisting they be spanked as well. "And after the spankings, the oral sex!" declares the lead girl. Sir Galahad decides he can stay a bit longer. Fortunately, Sir Lancelot shows up to rescue Galahad from the "peril".

Almost Dead Guy
 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_61356a74
comment
Almost Dead Guy: Subverted constantly. The "plague victim" who protests that he is not dead. However, both his "caretaker" and the cart bearer eventually have had enough of his whining and kill him anyway. The Running Gag of people getting shot, stabbed, or otherwise injured, and people mourning over them as if they are giving a Final Speech, only for them to protest that they are "getting better".

Flynning
 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_65331274
comment
Flynning: Averted, surprisingly, in one of the few Hollywood "knights in armour" tropes that's not parodied. The fight between the Green and Black Knights is very aggressive and ruthless (with the combatants not only using the blades but hitting each other with the crossguards and pommels, kicking, punching, and hitting the other guy while he's down) which is actually a much more accurate portrayal of what a real-life sword fight would have been like. Played more humorously in the fight between Arthur and the Black Knight, where the latter misses his sword swings hilariously widely and Arthur actually has to move to block the Black Knight from menacing the ground.

Coconut Superpowers: A literal use, caused by the movie having No Budget. The horses are just the serfs following their knight, clapping two halves of a coconut together. When the knights are hurled from the Bridge of Death, the actor is just crouched down, and then standing up real fast before the camera cuts to a shot of the "knight" flying through the air.

The King was not happy that he killed 8 wedding guests, killed the best man and kicked the bride in the face on his way to rescue his son. When he's being shown round, he ends up killing more as the guests all complain about his actions, and the king could only explain it's meant to be a happy occasion, and no one should bicker and argue about who killed who.

comment
"I Want" Song: Defied. The lord of Swamp Castle keeps stopping his son, Prince Herbert, from breaking out into one at several points. It is first, in a later scene, where Herbert turns it into a Crowd Song that he is able to drown out his father's attempts to stop it.

comment
Riddle Me This: Parodied by The Bridge Keeper: Sir Robin wasn't so lucky. Same questions until the third. Sir Galahad got the favourite colour question, but still managed to get it wrong. What's funny is that it doesn't sound all that implausible — he was answering the same questions as his predecessor with the same answers, and accidentally said Lancelot’s favourite colour too instead of his own. King Arthur gets another atypical question, and yet he survives because...

 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_89631688
comment
The Chosen One: Subverted and discussed. When King Arthur gives his Lady of the Lake speech, an anarcho-syndicalist peasant doesn't see what's so special about being chosen. Rule of Funny applies here, since in the legends the Lady of the Lake gave Excalibur to Arthur when he was already king. He became king by drawing a sword from a stone (sometimes Excalibur, sometimes a different one), which the film doesn't mention.

Commune

Commune: Dennis informs Arthur that he refuses to acknowledge him as king, since Dennis didn't vote for him, and getting made king by having received a sword from "some watery tart" (i.e., the Lady of the Lake) is no basis for a system of government. He then goes into a far more detailed explanation of how their governance works, to Arthur's annoyance (eventually culminating in him grabbing Dennis). On the DVD commentary John Cleese states this was a parody of radical leftists living in the UK at the time.

Cross-Cast Role
 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_985d3ad0
comment
Crosscast Role: In a rarity for Monty Python, there's only one example of crossdressing in the whole film: the very minor character of Dennis' mother, who is played by Terry Jones. Even the Pythons comment on this on the DVD commentary, and surmise that, since they could afford an actual cast for the first time, they just naturally hired real women to play the women in the film. Indeed Connie Booth (Cleese's then wife) is cast as the supposed witch, while Carol Cleveland is the main woman in Castle Anthrax.

comment
Overly Long Gag: The calligrapher who's trying to finish The Tale of Sir Lancelot title page, going around and down long corridors to go outside to tell the "bloody weather" (clouds and the sun) to stop jumping around and making a racket. It takes an inordinately long time and many patient repetitions for the King of Swamp Castle to get his guards to understand that he wants them to stay in the room and not let Prince Herbert leave. And just when the King thinks they've got it, the guards start to follow him out of the room (i.e., the exact opposite of what the King told them to do), and he has to explain his orders yet again. The sequence of Lancelot charging toward the gate of Swamp Castle, played five times before we finally see the continuation of it. The reading of the Holy "Gospel of Armaments" and how to use the Holy Hand Grenade. The entire "Get on with it!" scene, to the point even God joins.

Ascended Extra: Sir Bedevere is a fairly minor character of Arthurian legendnote His primary role is to survive the Battle of Camlann so as to avert Undead Author when explaining what happened to Arthur after he struck Mordred down, but in this movie he's one of Arthur's three continuous companions.

Hollywood Tactics: Played for comedy. Arthur and his knights charge heedlessly at the walls of a castle on foot, without siege implements or any other apparent plan on getting into the castle. Only Lancelot manages to actually reach the wall, and he simply chops at it with his sword before retreating.

comment
Genericist Government: Rather deliberately subverted, where King Arthur claims to be a king, and the peasant blithely demands to know what kind of government he offers, and how it is an improvement over the anarcho-syndicalist model already practiced by the local peasantry (which he insists on describing in detail). The conversation ends with the peasant complaining about "being repressed" when King Arthur attempts to shut him up in annoyance.

Trial by Ordeal: A famous scene has an accused witch subjected to this: she's weighed to see if she weighs as much as a duck, the Insane Troll Logic is as follows: If she weighs as much as a duck, she must be able to float in water, which means she's made of wood, which means she can burn, which in turn proves that she's a witch.

Epic Fail: Prince Herbert's father describes three attempts to build a castle in the swamp before he finally got it right. All of them sank; the third somehow caught fire and fell over as well. Galahad's Trojan rabbit idea would have worked in theory, except none of the knights bothered to hide inside of it. And the castle guards catapulted the whole thing one minute later anyway. Sir Galahad is cast into the ravine when he second-guesses his favourite colour.

Bravado Song: Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot employs a quartet of minstrels to improvise songs about how brave he is. He is, of course, nothing of the sort. In the first scene, they sing a song listing all the horrible potential tortures and deaths Sir Robin's definitely not afraid of, but Robin gets so unnerved that he asks them to stop singing. Shortly after, he runs away from a three-headed giant rather than fight it — and the minstrels sing about how very brave this was.

Precision F-Strike: The script originally called for Sir Galahad to tell Tim the Enchanter to "fuck off" during the Killer Rabbit scene. He instead says "Get stuffed." due to a censorship request. Still, "shit" has been said a few brief times. On the soundtrack album, the logician dissecting the witch burning scene goes off on a tangent about his wife's infidelity taking precedent over his supper, then of her turning her passion towards him. "Fuck supper," he winds up saying as he and his wife get it on. Also, the soundtrack album starts with an introduction on the quality of the record and contains this:

Insane Troll Logic: Bedevere's faultless chain of reasoning leading to the conviction of the witch: If a woman weighs the same amount as a duck then she's made of wood because both ducks and wood floatnote In reality ducks only appear to be floating by way of being stealthy paddlers, and because both wood and witches burn, she must be a witch! In true Monty Python fashion, it works!note Even the "witch" herself admits "It's a fair cop." Also, one of the tracks on the soundtrack album is an alleged philosophy professor analysing the very thing. He concludes that sex is better than logic. In the same scene, one of the peasants suggests building a bridge out of the woman to test if she's made of wood. Bedevere shoots down that idea... by pointing out that bridges can also be made from stone.

Shout-Out: The Trojan Rabbit (Trojan Horse) and Lancelot's squire Concorde (the jet) (or possibly a reference to John Cleese's Dennis Moore character from the TV show), among others. Also, Lancelot thanks the Bridgekeeper as he passes the Bridge of Death by saying "Thank you. Thankyouverymuch," in the same vein as Elvis Presley. The flagellation, the witch burning scene, and the mock-Swedish subtitles are all shout-outs to The Seventh Seal. One of the other words kept by The Knights Who Say Ni, Nehwon, is the name of the world where Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories take place.

Bait-and-Switch Credits
 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_c76b215e
comment
Bait-and-Switch Credits: The credits start with Swedish subtitles, turn into a pitch for Swedish tourism, then an anecdote about a woman being bit by a møøse. The credits people are fired, before one more møøse subtitle comes in, after which the new directors are fired. The credits continue with møøse positions added in, which results in the directors being fired again. Finally, the last few credits are shown with bright flashing lights, crediting llamas several times, all set to Mexican mariachi music. See them all here.

comment
Taken During the Ending: Played for Laughs. King Arthur and Sir Bedivere are arrested and taken away by modern-day police on suspicion of murder right in the middle of an epic battle to decide the fate of the Holy Grail, ending the film as an Anti-Climax. (An example of Real Life Writes the Plot, since the reason why Monty Python didn't go through with the whole fight is that they ran out of money and time before they could film the whole battle.)

Implausible Deniability: When the Black Knight is getting his arse handed to him by King Arthur, he insists that "it's just a flesh wound," all the while bleeding profusely from being heavily dismembered. When Bedevere reacts with (understandable) disbelief to the peasant's claim that a witch turned him into a newt, despite him standing right there in full human form, the peasant meekly adds, "...I got better."

Hoist by His Own Petard
 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_d397657d
comment
Hoist by His Own Petard: The bridge-keeper attempts to invoke three questions before letting them cross (which are either very easy — if you aren't indecisive — or awfully hard trick questions or trivia). If they fail (either by not knowing one of the answers or simply being indecisive), they are hurled down a fiery crevice. When Arthur gets his turn, specifically when he gets to the third question (about the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow), Arthur asks for clarification as to whether he meant an unladen African swallow or an unladen European swallow. The bridgekeeper then admits he doesn't know, with predictable results. The Knights of the Round Table, when the French taunters catapult their own Trojan Rabbit back at them.

Extremely Easy Exam: Zig-Zagged. When the remaining knights have to answer three questions to cross the Bridge of Death: Lancelot is only asked for his name, his quest, and his favourite colour, getting an easy pass. Promptly subverted when Robin goes next, and he is asked for his name, his quest.... and the capital of Assyria. He cannot answer and is thrown to his death. Double subverted when Galahad goes up and he gets the favourite colour question again. Subverted again when he still manages to get this wrong, and is thrown to his death. Inverted when King Arthur is asked for the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow, and Arthur turns the question back on the Bridgekeeper: "African or European swallow?" The Bridgekeeper doesn't know, and is thrown to his death.

Unusual Euphemism: The Swamp King wants Herbert to marry a woman so he can inherit her father's property, but the son is unwilling. He tries to convince him with a couple of reasons, ending off with the fact that she has "huge... tracts of land," with a gesture that is less suggestive of real estate and more suggestive of womanly curves (of course, thanks to this film, the expression has entered the vernacular to such a degree that it barely qualifies as "unusual" anymore).

Format-Specific Joke: The film opens with the opening credits to something along the lines of The Andromeda Strain, which runs for a couple minutes before the projectionist (voiced by Terry Gilliam, incidentally) realizes his mistake and switches out the reels. Obviously, this falls a bit flat on home releases. And yet, some more modern cinematic showings have skipped the "screw up" sequence, despite the opportunity to play with it.

Didn't See That Coming: This is how Arthur gets rid of the Bridgekeeper.

Then Arthur turns the question around by asking if he meant an African or European swallow. The Bridgekeeper, not having considered that, says he doesn't know and is tossed off the bridge.

comment
That Was the Last Entry: Parodied when the group encounters a stone wall on which a victim of a monster attack has been carving entries onto. It ends, "He who is valiant, and might of spirit, may find the Holy Grail in the Castle of Arrrgh". The knights argue whether the castle is actually named Arrrgh or if the author died while writing it and wrote down his death rattle while doing so. Someone suggests he was dictating it. It's the first one.

comment
As Long as It Sounds Foreign: The "Swedish subtitles" during the opening credits are just English spelled with a Funetik Aksent and a liberal use of the Punctuation Shaker. The foreign letter ø they use isn't even Swedish (but from the Dano-Norwegian alphabet). Likewise with the "French" taunters. Ex: "Fetchez la vache" = "Fetch the cow".

Determinator: Deconstructed, figuratively and literally, by the Black Knight scene. Cleese even said he based it on a school lesson in never surrendering that Cleese found rather ridiculous (as it was about a Greco-Roman wrestler who died in the ring rather than lose the match). If all your limbs are cut off then, no matter how determined you are, you can't continue fighting.

Due to the film having No Budget and the crew getting frustrated by its Troubled Production, there was no way they could have an epic Final Battle to close the movie. So instead, the characters are anti-climactically arrested by police officers for a random murder committed earlier in the movie, and the film ends without a real conclusion. It's a cop-out.

comment
Unexplained Recovery: The peasant's claim that he "got better" after being turned into a newt by the alleged witch comes across as pretty unconvincing, although it's just as likely that the peasant was lying about getting cursed in the first place. Despite an unpleasant "splat" sound effect after falling out of the tower, Prince Herbert shows up at his wedding none the worse for wear. He does intend to explain this recovery (in song, of course), but, sadly, we don't get to hear the best part.

Suspiciously Specific Denial: When Galahad arrives at Castle Anthrax and demands the Grail, Zoot acts as if she has no idea what he's talking about, but when he mentions seeing a vision of it in the sky, she suddenly exclaims, "Oh, I just remembered, our castle's beacon is grail-shaped." Considering A: there's a punishment set in place specifically for turning on the beacon (because they keep having trouble like this over it) and B: the maidens in the castle clearly want to lure young men into their bedrooms, it's pretty obvious Zoot knew all along what Galahad was talking about, that the beacon was turned on to trick travellers, and Zoot's exclamation was both this trope and a bit of Blatant Lies.

 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_e663d3ef
comment
Only a Flesh Wound: The Trope Namer — but subverted. King Arthur chops the Black Knight's sword arm off to end the fight quickly and thus avoid having to kill him. When the knight insists on fighting one-armed, he chops off the other one, then one leg, then the other. At this point, the knight is clearly bleeding out and will probably die, but he trash-talks Arthur as if nothing had happened at all.

The Swamp Castle guards watch their prisoner blatantly write a request for help, grab a bow, and then shoot it out a window. They do nothing because their orders did not include stopping him from doing so. Prior to this, there was a long string of miscommunications regarding what their task was, so it also makes perfect sense.

So they just said "Everyone went to jail". Some people consider it a cop-out. note  It could also be a bust, too! Including Eric Idle's daughter. From the documentary Monty Python: Almost the Truth:

Medieval Morons: Doubly subverted when Sir Bedevere is approached by a mob of superstitious villagers who think they have caught a witch and accordingly want permission to burn her. When Bedevere asks them the obvious question of how they know the woman is a witch, they only come up with nonsensical non-evidence ("she looks like one", "she has a wart", and a perfectly human-shaped man claiming she turned him into a newt). The impression that Bedevere is a voice of reason trying to talk the villagers out of their superstitious fury is soon scattered when Bedevere instead uses a string of equally nonsensical "logical" conclusions to "prove" that witches are made of wood (because they burn), and therefore weigh the same as a duck (because ducks float, like wood). By use of a pair of giant scales, Bedevere and the villagers proceed to determine that the suspect weighs the same as a duck, and accordingly the woman is hauled off as a witch. Subverted in the "peasants digging filth" scene:

Running Gag: Swallows and coconuts come up way too often in this movie, as do people not quite dying, and the number three. Every time Arthur prays, he gets hit with something. Since God made it clear he's done with all of this blind worship, that probably isn't a coincidence. Arthur keeps getting 3 and 5 mixed up. Whenever Prince Herbert tries to start singing, his father puts a stop to it. The modern-day police officers and detective following Arthur's shenanigans, and eventually arresting the whole cast.

Parts of the Book of Armaments bear an uncanny resemblance to the Athanasian Creed, which affirms the Christian doctrine of the Trinity in agonizing detail note presumably written very carefully to avoid schisms in the Church and to prevent People's Front of Judaea vs Judaean People's Front vs Popular Front situations.

Pose of Silence
 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_fd725374
comment
Pose of Silence: Played for Laughs. When the French knight is bawling over the castle wall to Arthur and his knights that they already have their own Holy Grail, then turns to the other knights with him on the wall and whispers behind his hand, "I told them we've already got one!" and they all cover their mouths and guffaw, clearly learning this for the first time.

Fun with Subtitles
 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_fdb355db
comment
Fun with Subtitles: The opening credits start with an As Long as It Sounds Foreign "Swedish" subtitle that merely uses the Punctuation Shaker on all the letters, but then quickly turns into a bizarre story about møøses and toothbrushes.

Brick Joke
 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_fe0330fb
comment
The above joke went even further in the script, but the final Brick Joke had to be cut because of the movie's low budget. The Pythons originally wanted the movie to end with an epic payoff for the "swallows with coconuts" joke, where Arthur's army would have stormed the Castle Aaaaargh and been aided at the last minute by a flock of swallows dropping coconuts on the French knights. Naturally, they didn't have enough cash to pull that off, and ended the movie with the cops arresting everyone instead.

Shown Their Work
 Monty Python and the Holy Grail / int_ffad4e9f
comment
Shown Their Work: Terry Jones was an Arthurian scholar and added details not commonly seen in different King Arthur adaptations, such as Lancelot being a total berserker in combat. Despite the absurdity of the subsequent "duel", the fight between the Black Knight and Green Knight is actually much closer to how real-life sword fights went than Hollywood usually portrays them, it's less an honourable duel and more a violent brawl that happens to feature swords and ends the moment someone is hit in a vulnerable area.
