Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Pope/Michelangelo sketch was based on a historical incident. The Renaissance artist Paolo Veronese really did paint a "Last Supper" with extraneous contemporary elements. The Inquisition investigated and advised him to remove those elements. Instead, he really did just rename it - to "Feast in the House of Levi".
- GoofsDuring the Bishop on the Landing Skit, a number of the actors could barely keep a straight face, and also when the church police came onstage and everyone jumped over, Terry Jones's wig flew completely off his head, forcing the other actors to slowly close ranks to allow him to replace his wig without anyone seeing.
- Quotes
First Bruce: We find your American beer like making love in a canoe. It's fucking close to water.
- Crazy creditsAt the very end of the film, the giant video screen changes from showing "The End" to "PISS OFF" which flashes repeatedly on the screen.
- Alternate versionsSome older VHS versions of the show omit the "Little Red Riding Hood" segment.
- ConnectionsEdited from Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969)
Featured review
I consider the Pythons to be one of the best comedy groups that ever appeared on the screen, perhaps even THE best (it's either them or the Marx Brothers). If you agree even partially, you should not miss "Live at the Hollywood Bowl". Irreverence and surrealism in abundance - as you would expect from the Python guys at their best. Sure, devoted fans have probably seen many of these sketches before, but that won't stop them from enjoying them again - it certainly didn't stop the live audience at the time. There are some slow spots and the picture quality is fairly poor (as the show was videotaped and then transferred to film), but how can you say anything bad about a film that has you crying from too much laughter at least twice? ("What? Only one Christ?") (***)
