Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe 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.
- GoofsPotatoes 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.
- Crazy credits"All characters portrayed in this film are entirely fictitious and bare no resemblance to anyone living or dead, except for one."
- Alternate versionsA 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.

- SoundtracksNight on a Bald Mountain
by Modest Mussorgsky (as M.Moussorgskij) & Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
Featured review
This often neglected first solo directing effort of Gilliam's is certainly much better than its maligned reputation would have you believe. While it is though sledding the first time through, it gains appreciably with repeated viewings, but does demand you pay attention. Amongst all the excrement, garbage and filth, Gilliam and his co-writer actually have a little something to say about big business, but mainly JABBERWOCKY is very, very funny. Strong stomachs are required, however.
