Summary: Sing Along with the Monks!
Review: This is a great DVD with tons of extras, the sing along with the Monks is wonderful, just be careful. The only problem I have with this DVD is I can not find the "widescreen presentation with pink frilly edges". My copy has everything else on the disks, and says it has this, but I can not find the widescreen presentation, and I see no pink frilly edges.As for the movie, everyone else has said it all. :-)

Review: I'm not going to belabour the film itself - read the other reviews to find out more about how funny the film is. I will say that the picture quality of this version is far above any previous print of the film I've ever seen. If you've only seen the film on a worn-out VHS copy from the rental store, you'll be in for a treat. The colors are much sharper, and the details jump out at you. I had seen the film almost 100 times and had never been able to read the signs at the beginning of the "Sir Robin" sequence. There still are some film artifacts, but I would expect that from a film as old and cheaply made as this one. I think the job they did restoring the film is very well done. The new mix of the sound is a bit artificial sounding. The music was remixed in stereo, and in certain places, the dialogue has a bit of stereo separation. The narration was completely redone in places, though, and that distracted me. I'm guessing they couldn't find the original narrative track, and with the new music mix, they had to redo it. On the plus side, the overall dialogue is sharper, and I was able to make out certain jokes that I had trouble understanding before. The good news is that they included the original mono soundtrack as well, so try the new mix, and if you don't like it, go back to the original. I can't say enough about the extras. The menus are worth the cost of the DVD alone. Some of the extras are from the Criterion laserdisc, such as the "Scenes in Japanese with translated subtitles" section, but there is also a brand new skit from the film ministry on the proper use of Coconuts! I have yet to find any mind-bending easter eggs, but I'm sure they are there. All in all, this is a great disc for both the Python-maniac and for a newbie who hasn't been introduced to the wacky world of Monty Python!

Summary: Great Outrageous Humor
Review: For those of you who are unfamiliar with Monty Python and His Flying Circus, this film will be startling at first. Monty Python is a troup of comedic actors who had a long-standing British comedy show that was/is absolutely wacky, irreverent, off-the-wall, outrageous, and insanely funny. Some reviewers and critics say that Monty Python is not for everyone; I'm not sure about that, but renting a few episodes of the series to see how you like it would be a good test before buying the movie. "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" takes the Arthurian legend and the crusade for the Holy Grail, and lampoons it in every way possible. The result is one of the funniest, silliest movies ever made. Do all of the jokes hit the mark? No, and I'm not sure that's even possible, especially with the number of gags in this movie. The viewer has to watch everything, as the comic attacks are non-stop. Beware the Black Knight and the Knights Who Say "Ni!" (yes, that will make sense to you after you see the movie, if anyything in the movie really makes sense).

Summary: Hillarious!
Review: Since you have more than likely already seen the movie, I won't go into that part, the EXTRAS are probably why you are looking at this special edition DVD. There certianly are a lot of them! Some are better than others, first you get your choice of about a million types of subtitles/closed captioning/and even an online screenplay (which is very cool). There are 5 Audio selections, 5.1 Digital, Second-hand Mono, French (boo!) and two different commentaries! The commentaries are great for real fans who want some 'inside info' What the box says is true, you get a whole extra 24 seconds of the movie, and some completely unrelated clip at the beginning that you just have to see :) The best thing about this DVD before I move on to Disc Two is the MENUS. They are so well done, with little animations for each selection. On the 2nd disc theres a ton of cool stuff with only a few minor dissapointments. The Sing Alongs (Kights of the round table, Brave Sir Robin, Monks Chant) are fun.. they are basically just part of the movie with subtitles on, except the Monks Chant, which has a little more. ;D The Quest for the Holy Grail Locations is very interesting, you follow John Michael Palin and Terry Jones to the actual sites where much of the movie was shot. It's a long extra, about 50 mins. THen there are shorter specials including 'How to Use Your Cocunuts, On Location With The Pythons, and... oh hell you can read them above! Then, there are lots and lots of sketches, ideas, storyboard-type things, pictures of old promo-posters and other still-image stuff. Next comes the 'Unshot Footage'. This includes the amazing Lego Knights movie (which is by far the best extra, you will watch this over and over), the Unused Locations footage (also really funny), and 'Unused Ideas' which isn't a movie at all, it's a lot of sketches with really no explanation of what they would have been :( Other than that one thing, my only 'complaints' are.. there really is no 'Pink Frilly Edges' on the movie when you watch it, at least not on the two DVD players I've tried. I thought that would have been funny! :D Also, there is one audio review of the movie buried in there, which cuts out in the middle of it being read and never finishes. These aren't big problems, and the DVD is still worth every penny. I had seen the older 'non special edition' version of the movie and was not impressed with the amount of extras. This DVD is full with useless stuff for fans to enjoy and its basically the same price as the old one! Make sure you pick it up today :D

Review: 1975, 10 years old when I first saw this movie Couldn't understand half of what was being said - got a good chuckle out of the Butt Trumpets though. Best Supporting Actor - the guy that played one-of-Threeheaded Knight that wanted to let Sir Robin get away. FAV PART - the whole Castle Anthrax bit. Bring Out Your Dead to See THIS FLICK!!!

Review: This is absolutely the funniest movie I have ever seen. All the special features are great, but the movie itself would stand alone just fine. That's really I have to say.

Summary: Funniest movie ever
Review: The boys from Monty Python have done it, made the funniest movie of all time. From Taunting French men to dancing knights of Camelot. This movie is tearjerking fun. It is ten times better than Life of Brian and the Flying Circus. A movie that might make you wet yourself and ask for more. A must see, must own movie and dvd.

Summary: boss dvd, bunk technical prob
Review: the dvd is amazing, but for some reason the subtitles keep re-appearing in every chapter, no matter how many times i switch them off!!! has anyone else experienced this, and if so, is there away around it (aside from turning the subtitles off every 90 seconds, or watching the movie with them the whole time)??!

Summary: Extra, Extra! 24 extra seconds free
Review: Where could I start but just saying that this is the most intelligent movie ever written. Seriously, wait, nothing in this movie is serious. First off it contains the king of all comedy sequences, the almighty "Black Knight" sequence. We also get to learn about King Arthur's crusade, how to tell if someone is a witch, to beware of "killer rabbit's", how to deal with knights who say Nee, how to correctly answer questions to get across the bridge of peril, and how to get arrested while storming a castle. Not only funny, but essential for human survival. The extra stuff is most excellent. Michael Palin and Terry Jones go to the film sites and buy their own script at one castle and revisit the bridge of peril. We even get Lego Knights, and its a funny as it sounds. Extra stuff is just gravy. Really, if you don't have this one, you really deserve to have no movies at all.
