      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.

      Mr. Li Ling said that the British said that Mr. Jiao was invented by the French, and the French said it...

      #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...

    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

    • Zulu War Soldier: Here is better than home, eh, sir? I mean, at home if you kill someone they arrest you, here they'll give you a gun and show you what to do, sir. I mean, I killed fifteen of those buggers. Now, at home they'd hang me, here they'll give me a fucking medal, sir."

    • Humphrey: Oh, no, do share your little joke with the rest of the class.

    • Mrs. Hendy: Do all philosophers have an 's' in them?

      Mr. Marvin Hendy: Yeah I think most of them do.

      Mrs. Hendy: Oh. Does that mean Selina Jones is a philosopher?

      Mr. Marvin Hendy: Yeah. Right, she could be. She sings about the Meaning of Life.

      Mrs. Hendy: Yeah, that's right, but I don't think she writes her own material.

      Mr. Marvin Hendy: No. Oh, maybe Schopenhauer writes her material.

      Mrs. Hendy: No. Burt Bacharach writes it.

      Mr. Marvin Hendy: There's no 's' in Burt Bacharach...

      Mrs. Hendy: Or in Hal David.

      Mr. Marvin Hendy: Who's Hal David?

      Mrs. Hendy: He writes the lyrics, Burt just writes the tunes... only now he's married to Carole Bayer Sager...

      Mr. Marvin Hendy: Oh, Waiter. This conversation isn't very good.

      Waiter: Oh, I'm sorry, sir. We *do* have one today that's not on the menu. It's a sort of, uh, speciality of the house: Live Organ Transplants.
