Monty Python and the Holy Grail behind the scenes gags

Many of King Arthur’s castles were filmed in Dunn’s Castle, and the rooms were re-used after being renovated. The appearance of several castles is made of 10-foot-high plywood, which can be blown down by a gust of wind.
The first actor to play the black knight was John Clays. After being chopped off by King Arthur, the black knight was replaced by a one-legged actor, a local silversmith.
The scene where King Arthur arrived at the first castle and Lancelot flew towards Swamp Castle was filmed in London's Hampstead Heath Park, which is the "Gay Park" in London.
After the film crew entered the Glen Coe Mountains, the only camera at the same time failed, so there was no sound in the shots, and Graham Chapman, who played King Arthur, developed delirium tremens due to the side effects of alcoholism. The first assistant director does it for you.
In the first draft of the script, King Arthur and his knights ended their journey to find the Holy Grail in Harrods, a department store in London.
Almost all female characters in the film are played by actresses, while in other works, almost all female characters are reversed by male actors.
The idol in the film is actually a photo of the famous 19th century cricketer W·G·Grace.
In the scene where Lancelot hangs on a chandelier and prepares to escape from the castle, a "dead" guard beckons to the camera.
During the filming process, Graham Chapman was struggling to get rid of his alcohol addiction, and forgetting his lines was commonplace.

7.9/10 Six people from the Python Group played thirty or forty roles in this film, Michael Palin played the most, Terry Gilliam died the most, but this story is sometimes very funny, sometimes very silent, WTF big play. The first couplet: Funny, absurd and nonsensical, a group of funny people are knights. The next link: boring and spoofing a neurotic giant can bullshit a rabbit will tear its throat. Horizontal criticism: No matter how good the British are, they can't handle urban management.

7.5 points. One of the originators of nonsensical spoof comedy. Compared with the other same type of "Magic Star", this film about King Arthur and the Holy Grail is much more exciting~~The sound of horse hooves simulated by coconut shells, the black knight with broken hands and feet, a group of stupid people, etc. Of course, of course There is also the sudden heart attack of the animator. I laughed so hard that my stomach hurts~~ The ending feels a bit sudden, and it makes people feel unfulfilled~~
