Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The entire python gang star in this hilarious retelling of the knights of king arthur and their quest for the holy grail. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 02/22/2005 Run time: 89 minutes Rating: Pg

Amazon.com essential video:
Could this be the funniest movie ever made? By any rational measure of comedy, this medieval romp from the Monty Python troupe certainly belongs on the short list of candidates. According to Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide, it's "recommended for fans only," but we say hogwash to that--you could be a complete newcomer to the Python phenomenon and still find this send-up of the Arthurian legend to be wet-your-pants hilarious. It's basically a series of sketches woven together as King Arthur's quest for the Holy Grail, with Graham Chapman as the King, Terry Gilliam as his simpleton sidekick Patsy, and the rest of the Python gang filling out a variety of outrageous roles. The comedy highlights are too numerous to mention, but once you've seen Arthur's outrageously bloody encounter with the ominous Black Knight (John Cleese), you'll know that nothing's sacred in the Python school of comedy. From holy hand grenades to killer bunnies to the absurdity of the three-headed knights who say "Ni--!," this is the kind of movie that will strike you as fantastically funny or just plain silly, but why stop there? It's all over the map, and the pace lags a bit here and there, but for every throwaway gag the Pythons have invented, there's a bit of subtle business or grand-scale insanity that's utterly inspired. The sum of this madness is a movie that's beloved by anyone with a pulse and an irreverent sense of humor. If this movie doesn't make you laugh, you're almost certainly dead. --Jeff Shannon




Rating: - great representation and price
We found this to be a great price compared to buying in a store. We were happy that it was so easy to order and came very quickly after we ordered it. Of course it was in great condition too.

Rating: - Not quite great edition
Well, the movie is awesome, the second DVD is awesome, all the little extras on both DVDs are great. Of course the film is grainy and such, it was meant to be that way.

Now, this version is not as good as another. The Extraordinarily Deluxe Edition. It has the DVD and the second DVD. It also includes the old album that was released of the film ow on CD. It is packaged nicely (it looks better than this version).

I think it is kewl that they were adding in the Script, ... Read More

Rating: - My absolute favorite movie EVER!
For mindless entertainment I love to watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail. There is no rhyme or reason to the movie, just a bunch of people doing stupid stuff and making it hilarious. There's no need for neverending flatulance jokes (which is overplayed in almost every comedy of today) or a need to make fun of different races and cultures just to get a cheap laugh. What it is is pure stupidity that makes you practically wet yourself when you watch it. I couldn't tell you how many times I have ... Read More

Rating: - Kick [...]
You have to be a Monty Python fan to appreciate the humor. I still laugh out loud. What a great movie.

Rating: - I got the Special Edition vs. the "foo foo" version ...
Listening to previous reviewers here on Amazon, I ordered only the "special edition" vs. the "foo foo" version that came with the book and other thing.

I'm glad I did.

The quality is fine, and it's so wonderful to be whisked away into Python-land once again!

I still remember the dialog word for word - my fellow "Rhebo's" from HCHS would be proud ... !

Python is silly and irreverent, which makes it such a nice aside from the "dumbness" of reality ... Read More
