      impression

      If the accounting statements cannot be balanced, it can only be solved by war. - The logic of British pirates. So did the Opium Wars, and so did the Financial Wars. The American ships and guns are so powerful that they are not comparable to the Qing Dynasty, but only yy.

      For the spoofs of previous movies, I only saw "Ben-Hur", and other parts were interpreted by experts.

      #万世魔星+Monthly Python and Holy Grail#, the two major guarantees come first. The best of British absurd films. Divide life into seven stories to tell, you can't help laughing. The first one who talked about religion died of laughter, and at the same time, a comedy film reached the R rating, what did it mean, a lot of dew points. ....

      Great satirical comedy. It covers all aspects of life. It can handle such a big subject. Terry Gilliam's skills are not...

      There is no joke, low level to a few points. . . . . . . . . . . But having said that, the production is still very good, that's...

      Damn, Monty Python subverts my three views for the third time! This satire is all about hot topics: religion, war, sex, death! The absurd jokes about...

    A story about religion-Unemployed Catholics sang "Every sperm is sacred" and sent forty to fifty children in a room to do medical experiments because they could no longer afford them, and they faced the Protestant couple. Gloating for misfortune, lamenting that he "only had sex twice and had two children"; a story about sex-the professor explained to the students what sex is in class, but the students never knew what to do.

    At the beginning, it was a "Blood and Tears History of Yongbao Company" that seemed irrelevant to the meaning of life. An old company in London, Yongbao Company was acquired by a very large American company (Very Big Company of American). Those American managers were like The overseers on the slave ship enslaved the grey-haired loyal British employees. The unbearable British old gentleman employees finally "muted" and knocked down all...

    Movie quotes

    • Noel Coward: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Here's a little number I tossed off recently in the Caribbean.

      [singing]

      Noel Coward: Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis? / Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong? / It's swell to have a stiffy. / It's divine to own a dick, / From the tiniest little tadger / To the world's biggest prick. / So, three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas. / Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake, / Your piece of pork, your wife's best friend, / Your Percy, or your cock. / You can wrap it up in ribbons. / You can slip it in your sock, / But don't take it out in public, / Or they will stick you in the dock, / And you won't come back.

    • Grim Reaper: Englishmen, you're all so fucking pompous. None of you have got any balls.

    • Grim Reaper: Shut up! Shut up, you American. You always talk, you Americans. You talk and you talk and say 'let me tell you something' and 'I just wanna say this'. Well, you're dead now, so shut up!

      Howard Katzenberg: Dead?

      Grim Reaper: Dead!

      Angela: All of us?

      Grim Reaper: All of you.

      Geoffrey: Now, look here. You barge in here, quite uninvited, break glasses, and then announce, quite casually, that we're all dead. Well, I would remind you that you are a guest in this house.
