Anecdotes
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.

Gaffes
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.

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

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

Autres versions
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.

Not Python

I think the mistake a lot of people make is to see this as another Python film. It isn't, and one of the reasons it improves with each viewing is that you come to realise that. In contrast to "Holy Grail" which is essentially a series of sketches, this is a proper film with its own rules and a style which is based much more on gentle whimsy and sly satire than in-your-face Pythonesque clowning.

High points are the cast of veteran British comedy and music hall actors - what a lovely swansong this is for the likes of Max Wall, Harry H Corbett and John le Measurier - the attention to detail, which is quite remarkable, and the constant reversal of expectations. And I love the deadpan little touches like John le Measurier addressing the King as "Darling".

This and "Time Bandits" are my favourite Gilliam movies, I always feel he works better on a small budget where his imagination has to do the work, rather than the somewhat overblown likes of "Brazil"
