Notes
Also Known As:Mønti Pythøn ik den Høli Gräilen (International: English title) (subtitle)
Trivia: Graham Chapman's alcoholism caused problems during filming, and not just through Chapman repeatedly forgetting his lines. When King Arthur reaches the Bridge of Death he is visibly stressed, shaking, sweating, and moving slow through out the scene, yet Chapman was known to be an experienced rock climber. Ignorant of Chapman's alcoholism the crew wondered if the heavy costume caused the stress; it was actually alcoholism-induced DTs. (more)
Goofs: Revealing mistakes: In some shots when the rabbit attacks the knights you can see the string that the rabbit is moving across. (more)
