Medieval Madness

Get your giggles on with the ultimate edition of this hilarious comedy classic.

Monty Python and The Holy Grail: The Extraordinarily Deluxe Edition
(Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Canada)

This timeless comedic masterpiece about the King Arthur and Knights of the Roundtable legend is chock full of coconuts, shrubberies, a musical-mad king, catapulting cows and killer bunnies who attack by nibbling your bottom. Who knew the Middle Ages were so crazy?! The British crew who created the Monty Python troupe (John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin) were touted worldwide for their insolent yet intellectual humour, wild caricatures and insane silliness, and it’s all here on the digitally remastered three-disc set (two DVDs brimming with extra features and one soundtrack CD).

Far Out Wacky extras include: Subtitles (from Shakespeare’s Henry IV) For People Who Don’t Like This Film, The Holy Grail Challenge, A Taste of Spamalot (the Broadway musical version of this film), How to Use Your Coconuts info and much, much more madness!

FYI Ali G, In Living Color and Dave Chappelle wouldn’t exist without The Pythons’ groundbreaking antics.
