Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Pope/Michelangelo sketch was based on a historical incident. The Renaissance artist Paolo Veronese really did paint a "Last Supper" with extraneous contemporary elements. The Inquisition investigated and advised him to remove those elements. Instead, he really did just rename it - to "Feast in the House of Levi".
- GoofsDuring the Bishop on the Landing Skit, a number of the actors could barely keep a straight face, and also when the church police came onstage and everyone jumped over, Terry Jones's wig flew completely off his head, forcing the other actors to slowly close ranks to allow him to replace his wig without anyone seeing, only to put it on upside down.
- Quotes
First Bruce: We find your American beer like making love in a canoe. It's fucking close to water.
- Crazy creditsAt the very end of the film, the giant video screen changes from showing "The End" to "PISS OFF" which flashes repeatedly on the screen.
- Alternate versionsSome older VHS versions of the show omit the "Little Red Riding Hood" segment.
- ConnectionsEdited from Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969)
Featured review
The legendary troupe performs in the legendary venue. It's got many of their best skits including excerpts from their TV show. Their fans are having loads of fun and enjoying the "Atmosphere". This was my first exposure to Monty Python back in the day. The best was that this was all new to me. I didn't see the TV show. This is laugh after laugh after laugh which the TV show is not always. The TV show is hit and miss like a modern day SNL but edgier. It's also obvious that the performers are having fun like Cleese going into the crowd selling Albatross and telling the crowd that they can't smoke that. It's got great energy and endless fun. I recently watched it again on Netflix and it holds up. Other than a few deliberate racist jokes, it's as good as ever. As an adult, I get fresh eyes to see some of the jokes. Quite frankly, I'd show this first to any newbie Python virgins.
