Trivia
The fight between the Jabberwocky and the Black Knight was choreographed differently than what is shown in this movie. When Peter Salmon slipped and fell, writer and director Terry Gilliam decided it looked so natural that he edited the fight sequence to include the fall.

Errores
Potatoes originated in the Andes, in South America. They were introduced to Europe in the middle of the 16th century, and were a staple food about 100 years later, well after the feudal era.

Citas
Narrator: It is the middle of the Dark Ages. Ages darker than anyone had ever expected.

Créditos curiosos
"All characters portrayed in this film are entirely fictitious and bare no resemblance to anyone living or dead, except for one."

Versiones alternativas
A single instance of the use of the word "buggers" had to be removed in order for the film to receive an 'A' (PG) certificate in the UK. Later releases were uncut.

Forget the tale. Gritty reality. "You can't handle the truth."

A number of comments here seem to lament the "squalidness" of the settings of "Jabberwocky". This is EXACTLY what keeps me coming back to this film.

Above all else, I love TRUTH; genuine, unabashed, unashamed truth. I love the slop jar scene in "Rob Roy". I love the hominid scenes in "Body Heat. "The Road Warrior" and "Quest for Fire" are my favorite films. I don't desire the silly illusion that Medieval castles were scrubbed clean, opulently decorated, with long tables piled high with food and silver, while the whole place is lit up with aircraft landing lights. That's Hollywood BS. THIS is the truth! One could smell a town for a mile before arriving there.

I don't even care for the Jabberwocky tale one whit. I didn't care for it in high school. I don't care for it now. If I could make my own edit, I would excise all references to the monster and leave a whimsical documentary of Medieval life, the easy dalliances of the superstars of that day, the daily quest for food and gain with few options, the birth of the middle class, the mores before Victorian times, the stumbling rebirth of pageantry, the cynicism of the clergy. God, SO MUCH to digest from one humble film! I love it so much, I want to soak in it. But, I think I'll avoid the fish. ;-)
