What can one say about this film, it is so weird and off the cuff crazy it might be the most difficult review I have ever had to do. Monty Python, a British troupe of Comedians from the 60's into the 70's employed British humor so dry it brought a tear to my eye with this being some of the funniest off the wall Brit wit you will ever see as Python takes you on a Quest for the Holy Grail! This films greatness is only magnified by the superb acting and comical timing of Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, John Cleese & Michael Palin. This team went on to create one of the most epic Britcom shows (Monty Python's Flying Circus) ever produced by the BBC. In this film you will witness classic scene's based loosely (and i do mean that) on the life & times of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. If you are a fan of British humor & have never witnessed the spectacle of " Monty Pythons Holy Grail" then you owe it to yourself to buy this Blu-ray and dive into its lunacy with no reservations, you will become a knight that says " Ni ! " or you can boil my bottom! Video - Looks superb, never better! Colors burst, clarity is startlingly accurate. Blacks are rich & deep without the use of filtering or enhancements this is a pure film, clean without meddling you will really treasure this copy of this film classic! What really stood out in my mind were the reflections and colors of the metals from King Arthur's crown to the Black Knights dark Armour just looked fantastic. Oh & the shrubberies looked very shrubbery! Audio - DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack extracts as much dynamic frequencies it possibly could but don't expect it to sound like today's standard HD this is a mono extract so don't expect miracles but it does sound better than I have ever sampled it. What does stand out was the bass tonal qualities from the boot stomping dance in the halls of Camelot to the thundering's of God above you will notice much more bass response this time around. SUPPLEMENTS - Scintillating Audio Commentary — Directors Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam host a terrific commentary for anyone interested in the film's production. My favorite anecdote is probably about how they accidentally dyed the living killer bunny permanently red. Even More Revealing Audio Commentary — John Cleese, Eric Idle, and Michael Palin are on this one. It's fascinating to hear Cleese talk about the co-directors' differing styles of direction. Apparently, Gilliam was more focused on the technical aspect rather than the comedy. Quest of the Holy Grail Locations (SD, 47 mins) — Terry Jones and Michael Palin buy a copy of their own script to tour around Scotland "England 932 AD". Lego Knights: (SD, 2 mins) — The Knights of the Round Table sequence, recreated in LEGO form. Sweet. Special Japanese Version (SD, 9 mins) — Two scenes dubbed into Japanese, which re-translated English Subtitles. How To Use Your Coconuts (An Educational Film) (SD, 3 mins) — A silly instructional piece about how to get the most horse out of your coconuts. BBC Film Night on Location (SD, 17 mins) — A 1974 episode where the BBC chronicles intercuts interviews with on set footage. Three Songs to Sing-Along (SD, 5 mins) — Now you'll know all the words to Knights of the Round Table, Sir Robin, and the Monks' Chant. Cast Directory Photo Gallery (HD) — This is a pretty awesome feature where you can see the small Python troop in the vast number of characters they each play. US 2001 Re-Release Trailer (HD, 3 mins). The Knights of Ni Highly Recommend this film so do yourself a favor and " Run Away!" hurry buy this Blu-Ray!

If you're a fan of any of the Monty Python movies, this is considered by many to be one of their best movies. The blu-ray version offers a nice upgrade over any previous DVD owners and the special features included are well worth the price of the purchase. If you haven't seen this yet, pick it up. A true timeless classic that keeps getting better with each rewatch!

If you are a fan of Monty Python; you owe it to yourself to own this movie. I remember being introduced to this film by my Dad when I was 12. The humor has stuck with me to this day. And it has stuck with a lot of people. I remember when I saw jokes from this film watered down for a kid's dvd. And they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
