@titan133760 That's true especially I'm sure the director told the guy dressed as the cop to just cover the camera as a way of ending the movie. I haven't seen this movie in the theater but if I did, I would have been confused if the movie was over then (with no end credits) or if there was a problem as it was being shown in the theater. The only thing is that if they ran out of budget, it's surprising they still filmed it since it was a confusing ending that the knights never found the Holy Grail having them arrested never getting the Holy Grail when they were on a quest to find it.
Given the dark and tragic tone of every single season, I think the series finale would more likely involve Tyrion, Jaime, Bran, Sansa, Arya, Sandor Clegane, Samwell Tarly, Gilly, Theon Greyjoy, Brienne of Tarth, Grey Worm, Jorah, Jon Snow, and Daenerys all being crucified in the desert. With the entire cast facing their slow inexorable deaths, Tyrion Lannister decides to cheer everyone up with a song to sing. The final shot will show the entire cast singing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life," while zooming out and fading to black. While the credits roll, we hear Tyrion break the fourth wall and talk, with the music still playing. "It's the end of the series. Incidentally, these DVDs are available on Amazon. Some of us have got to live as well, you know. Who do you think pays for all this rubbish? They'll never make their money back, you know. I told him. I said to him, "Bernie", I said, "6 million dollars per episode... They'll never make their money back."
@@thetrump9974 From what I heard, there wasn't enough time make enough costumes for this scene. So a load of local people in the area played extras. Just gave them helmets etc.
Admit it: When you first watched this film, you were very unsatisfied with the ending. However, when you reflect on it, knowing a film actually did that is one of the funniest things in cinema history.
Julian Baxter That’s how I felt as a kid when I first saw it, I wanted the movie to have a huge battle scene, and then I was disappointed. But now I think that the ending is hilarious
No, it's just cheap and disappointing at any age. Then again, all of Monty Python was done on such a cheap budget that it isn't much of a surprise that the ending would be so lame.
The reason they ended the film like this is because the budget ran out towards the end and they couldn't afford to make a "proper ending" with the Holy Grail so they got some police to do a few scenes which they'd cut in and end the film like this. Personally I think it's the best film ending I've ever seen
Plus, having some policeman or army colonels to come in and abruptly end the sketch, when it gets "too silly," was an established running joke in Flying Circus. So it seems like the perfect way to cheaply end the movie and catch the audience off guard, while still being Monty Python.
Couldn't they have just had the French surrender as a joke about how cowardly they are then when they get in they find the grail but then it breaks in Arthur's hands leading to Hod showing up again and saying something like "dammit Arthur now what am I going to drink from" and it's revealed God is just very selfish and put Arthur on this deadly quest to get his favourite cup back sure it would be anticlimactic but it would give the audience a sense of completion
Mr Critical No because if you watch some of Monty Python's TV sketches (eg Arguement Clinic) you'll see that they have a running joke of ending every sketch with the police coming in, and what a cop out it is. This ending is a reference to that as well as saving money.
@@mikuculus3720 You could still use it for offence. That's how I imagine chess pawns attack. They shove their shield out to the diagonal, and ba-boom-ba-boom, the opponent is knocked out.
This ending has to be the most anti-climatic thing in movie history. I love this ending, but it's always bothered me that they never completed their quest.
The reason the film ends like this is because in the Flying Circus TV show, there was a reoccurring theme of having a policeman just walk in at the end of the sketch and ending it. They even self reference it in one of their sketches, The Argument Clinic, saying that they are arresting everyone for never ending a sketch with a punchline and just sending a policeman in. They use it again for the film's ending and so it becomes the ultimate punchline! You've been had again!
That's what German Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck said when he was told about the English army: "If the British army ever lands on Europe, I'll get the Belgian Police to arrest them." LOL
Zohar Rubinstein The part in which the animated monster died because its real-life animator suffered a fatal heart attack was considered a fourth wall moment.
***** Not quite. The fourth wall refers specifically to the barrier between the actors and the audience, as in when an actor gestures or speaks to the audience directly (think Ferris Bueller's Day Off). The ending was the only time this film broke the fourth wall with the cop (actor) signifying that he was aware he was being observed (audience). The scene with the animator transcended a completely different barrier: the one between the actors and the creator. This is also seen in George of the Jungle's dialogue and even divine interaction between the actors and the narrator. There really is no term for this but I suppose fifth or sixth wall would be appropriate.
DJ The fourth wall was also broken in the Castle Anthrax sequence, when a character looks at the camera and says “Do you think this scene should have been cut? We were so worried when the boys were writing it, but now it’s one of our favourite scenes”.
@Old channel, no longer active Good point, especially after the cop covered the camera and hearing music, people were probably thinking something like the three knights were going to wake up in their jail cell where the Holy Grail was found and then the police releases them after that and the movie ends. Or maybe some people wondered if that was the end of the movie or not without seeing any end credits.
Arthur, King of Britons, was convicted of inciting a riot and conspiracy to commit terrorism: He will be released in 20 years. Bedevere was acquitted in exchange for testifying against Arthur and Lancelot Lancelot was convicted of 23 murders and sentenced to life imprisonment without possibility of parole. The Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune was later overthrown by the CIA due to support from the USSR Galahad and Robin climbed out of the gorge of eternal peril after surviving off of the dead body of the bridge keeper. Galahad pushed Robin back in because "It just seemed like the right thing to do." Galahad fled to Norway. Castle Anthrax burned down in an alleged attempt to collect insurance by Zoot. Brother Maynard was canonized as the Patron Saint of Gunpowder in 1456. England is still a shithole today. The French Soldiers in the castle were convicted of drug charges, mafia ties, and conspiracy to rob the banks of Normandy and Milan. They were charged and thrown in prison for 20 years but only served 4 Happily Ever After.
@@godzillavkkThe Black Knight was sentenced to be quartered for blocking access to the King's land and attacking travellers. He died of old age in his cell while the authorities tried to figure out how to quarter him
No. Apparently the studios funds ran out at this point and they couldn't afford their final fight scene, so they ended it right here. Some of the most famous jokes in this film such as using coconuts instead of horses were cost cutting techniques.
How we thought the raid of area 51 would go: 00:00 How it actually went: 1:37 I know this is a dead meme, i just wanted to do this because it just reminded me of the raid
The fact that there all armed with spears and pole arms actually makes them more historically realistic than allot of serious historical movie army's who all go into battle armed only with a sword
It shows how lack of production budget benefits historical realism. Filmmakers with epic "historical" movies doesn't want to sacrifice their mass culture epicness storytelling with body builders swordsmen.
I love how the Holy Grail’s low budget is the main reason that this ending is one of funniest jokes in the entire movie. It’s one of those rare moments when a movie’s low budget works to it’s advantage.
the reason why the police came was because in the movie a womans husband was killed by a british knight. The lady that came out of the police car claimed King Arthur killed her husband and that's why the police came.
DanMetalHead1 I thought it was just some random knight. He wore a full helmet that none of the main characters wore and was the only one to actually have a horse to ride on.
I'm under the impression that the mysterious knight is either Sir Percival, who had briefly and accidentally time traveled to the future, or The Black Knight with regrown limbs and The Green Knight's armor, who also will face Sir Gawain.
Which is totally racist? Arthur had nothing to do with that historians death, all they heard was “knights killed him!” They see Arthur and arrest him! He didn’t even own a horse!
When the barebones-budget comedy from the 70's with knights banging coconuts together instead of riding actual horses makes a more interesting and intense pre-battle scene than most serious movies today.
This was a kind of stupid ending to be honest because the plot wasn't really complete but it's still the most random and possibly funniest ending I have seen to a movie.
+Samuel Black : I disagree. The French Taunters humor had worn thin by this point. A third scene of them repelling the "kinigits" with insults and animal projectiles would not have been funny. They couldn't let King Arthur actually succeed either. That would have been very un-Python. This ending was about the best they could do.
Best part is, is that most of those people were just tourists and students on a field trip nearby and the crew just told them to join in the fun. So I can only imagine what they were thinking when police suddenly showed and didn't know if it was part of what they were doing or if they were the real deal.
When I first saw this as a child I thought it was the funniest thing ever. Completely blew my mind. To this day I still love the audacity, and the throwback to their earlier sketches.
This is the perfect ending for Monty Python. We expect an epic clash, but no, the police come in and shut everything down. Leaving you to question: Was everything LARping? Are the police somehow all-powerful time travellers, capable of defeating even the camera man? It fits well with the humor, it's unexpected.
I was epicly disappointed the first time I ever saw this movie that they didn't storm the castle after all that buildup! Especially considering the previous single man castle rampage where he laid waste to all.
The one movie who can give the ol' middle finger to the audience and get away with it. You invested almost two hours into this movie? WELL TOO BAD! WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT!
FouwiiMedia haha it was a cop-out ending because they didn't have the budget for the original big battle they planned. So they literally got them arrested in the end for the cop-out haha
I’ll be honest: the first time I watched it I got confused and was angry and went to blockbuster to complain. It was only when they, laughing with tears in their eyes, explained that was the ending did I fully appreciate the movie
So, you are saying you angry like Karen and wanted to complaint because you did not know it is funny but u realize other majority say it is so you listen to they opinion instead. Cringe
“Alright, sonny just pack that up” while the cane moves around like a handhel suggests that the entire film was shit a shelf, and thus, was a *published home movie*
when I saw this for the first time I was a young kid. I was like "whaaat the..??" then found it hilarious. and prompted me into fire sign theatre, MAD, MST3K, air plane, the really long bus, top secret, ect, ect.
The Modern day British police roll up as the Night King is about to kill Bran, arrest the Night King and tell the rest to clear off, including the Dragon
thanks for the true explanation of the ending (budget) i always thought it reflected the silliness that audiences so easily suspended disbelief during medieval movies filmed in the 20th century (that aeroplanes and cars etc existed but were simply hidden from view) and so 20th century law enforcement turned up during such a battle in order to stop it - that the police were simply agreeing to hide in other movies due to the battles not being real.
I remember watching this for the first time and sitting there for about fifteen minutes looking at a blank screen waiting for the end credit that never came...
I can see why some people find this ending anti-climatic but it's a comedy I came here for that not the plot and I loved it cause did not see it coming at all and honestly I think this was way more memorable than a drawn out fight scene.
they had to do this because the film was apparently overbudget and the couldn't afford the fight choreography for the climax. It's also the reason they used the coconuts.
[lance a lot was sentence for life for manslaughter, public indecency and theft] [Arthur was sentence to death for conspiracy, acts of terrorism, arson, theft and tax inversion]
You know...there is a part of me who wishes us fans could do like a charity event in which we make a fan film that is The Battle of Castle Argh and see those French Persons lie dead.
According to legend, the police actually showed up while they were filming -- they were trespassing. They couldn't think of a funnier ending so they kept it. They only voiced over a couple lines of dialogue, and movie magic was made.
While I would have liked Arthur to raid the French and find the Holy Grail, I still laughed so hard the first time I saw this. Only movie that can do this to its viewers and get away with it.
Basically how to end a movie when you've ran out of budget
Yes

and prompted me into fire sign theatre, MAD, MST3K, air plane, the really long bus, top secret, ect, ect.
If game of thrones HAD finished similar to this, i would have been ok with it.
The Modern day British police roll up as the Night King is about to kill Bran, arrest the Night King and tell the rest to clear off, including the Dragon
Funniest ending I've ever seen.
+Austin Putnam it was i COP OUT
*Police Officer grabs shield*
"That's an offensive weapon that is!"
The whole movie just wrecks 4th wall
eg. "It's only a model" , "hey that's the old man from scene 6!"
2:09 Director: So, um... who's good at keeping secrets?
If a million people tried invading Area 51, I’m sure it’d end up looking something like this.
Monty Python created which is still the most original and unexpected plot twist ever imagined in the History of cinema
thanks for the true explanation of the ending (budget)
i always thought it reflected the silliness that audiences so easily suspended disbelief during medieval movies filmed in the 20th century (that aeroplanes and cars etc existed but were simply hidden from view) and so 20th century law enforcement turned up during such a battle in order to stop it - that the police were simply agreeing to hide in other movies due to the battles not being real.
Now that's what you call a cop-out
What September 20th will be like in reality.
i watched this with a friend who hadn't seen it and she was _legitimately frustrated_ that this was how it ended. lol
I remember watching this for the first time and sitting there for about fifteen minutes looking at a blank screen waiting for the end credit that never came...
Best movie ending ever!! Brilliant!
I can see why some people find this ending anti-climatic but it's a comedy I came here for that not the plot and I loved it cause did not see it coming at all and honestly I think this was way more memorable than a drawn out fight scene.
See D&D this is how you subvert expectations!
This must be where the term cop-out comes from.
Is this the Area 51 raid?
Footage we took whilst traveling time - note: may have been altered by the Great Magnetic Field
Here I was thinking that they would finally manage to get the Holy Grail 😖
This movie is absolute gold
"OI MATE, YA GOT LOICENSE FOR THAT ARMY?"
The end disappointed me when they were so posed to fight the French but that was funny
they had to do this because the film was apparently overbudget and the couldn't afford the fight choreography for the climax. It's also the reason they used the coconuts.
Legend has it that the French still have that castle to this very day... XP
The best ending they could do. It was an ongoing joke during the movie with the cuts to historian, historian's murder and police on the crime scene
And a fourth wall break
[lance a lot was sentence for life for manslaughter, public indecency and theft] [Arthur was sentence to death for conspiracy, acts of terrorism, arson, theft and tax inversion]
that is the best ending to any film ever tbh
Ultimate 4th wall break.
This should have been the ending of Avengers Endgame
Best. Ending. Ever. 😂😂😂
You know...there is a part of me who wishes us fans could do like a charity event in which we make a fan film that is The Battle of Castle Argh and see those French Persons lie dead.
Kind of similar to Blazing Saddles where the movie just gives up at the end.
a literal cop out ending
If it hadn't been for the cops, Lancelot would have became a door kicker
"Do you have a loicense for that charge?"
Not gonna lie, I got pumped for this scene. Then out of nowhere, I received the finger from the director of this film, and I wasn't even mad about it.
According to legend, the police actually showed up while they were filming -- they were trespassing.
They couldn't think of a funnier ending so they kept it. They only voiced over a couple lines of dialogue, and movie magic was made.
A literal cop out ending, but let's face it
We all wanted to see a Monty Python battlefield that's hilarious and wacky, yet entertaining
director: cut I said cut
cameraman: *is deaf*
director: I SAID CUT YOU IDIOT CUT!!!
Modern day police?
“Stop bugging us, this is the wrong timeline”
As a kid my friends told me that they were filming on private property and got arrested for it hahaha
While I would have liked Arthur to raid the French and find the Holy Grail, I still laughed so hard the first time I saw this. Only movie that can do this to its viewers and get away with it.
This is the most perfect, hilarious anticlimax end to a movie of all time.
This is the first troll ending ever in a movie.
Gonna tell my kids this was Game of Thrones.
