This is an odd film to say the least, funny from start to finish and what plot there is makes no sense. King Arthur has a group of comedically crap knights who get into impossible situations when wooden rabbits are launched at them, on their quest for the holy grail they overcome many challenges from mentally defective enemies and it all ends up with them being arrested for no reason.
That's the synopsis over I can talk about how I cherish this film with its hilarious characters, disparaged plotline and acting to boot from the greatest comedy team of all time. Personally, my favourite scene is either the fight with the Black Knight who continues fighting despite the distinct lack of limbs or the question scene at the bridge of death. The random animated cutscenes are great as well, one of the is cut short by the animator suffering a fatal heart attack. You may get a good idea of what this film is but I doubt it highly. John Cleese plays most of the enemies (French man, Black Knight) and Sir Lancelot with Terry Jones playing Sir Bedivere and the leader of the Knights who say Ni (Don't ask) these are the 2 stand-out roles; this film may not be as good as 'Life of Brian' but it's a whole lot funnier than a lot of comedy films so I rate it 8.5/10
