Fractures for True "Monty Python" Fans Quiz

Answer: Coconuts

A very noticeable part of the movie is King Arthur and his knights' lack of horses. Instead of having a whole army of horses, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table gallop on foot, while a servant "rides" behind them, clapping two cocount shells together to sound like horse footsteps.

Answer: Bring out your dead

The line, "Bring out your dead." starts a side storyline. It begins a couple of minutes of argument between the "dead collector" (for lack of a better word) and a man who wants to leave a dead man on the cart. Only there is a slight problem; the "dead" man is not really dead ... for now. I put the "Ninepence" quote in for a hint because he charges ninepence for each dead body thrown on his cart. I guess it wasn't a very good clue, but it was the best I could think of without completely giving the answer away. If you have any different ideas, please send them to me.

Answer: Sir Bedevere

Sir Bedevere is the first to be dubbed a Knight of the Round Table. He is added by King Arthur because of his wisdom. Throughout the movie, he shows examples of this so-called wisdom.

Answer: French soldiers

The French soldiers are a very memorable part of this movie. They continually taunt Arthur and his knights. "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries" is one of my personal favorites, among many others.

Answer: Bravely bold Sir Robin

This is part of the song that Sir Robin's minstrels sing about him. They sing on and on about how brave and strong Robin is: "He was not afraid to die, oh brave Sir Robin...." Of course, Robin is actually quite a coward, to be brutally honest.

Answer: Prince Herbert

Prince Herbert is seen in the movie just before his wedding, that he doesn't want to go through with. It is all set up for him by his father, who is quite ashamed of his son for not wanting any of his inheritance or the girl that he is supposed to be marrying.

Answer: The Knights who say Ni

When Arthur and his knights split up to look for the Holy Grail individually, each of them gets into another side-storyline. The Knights who say Ni are King Arthur's and Bedevere's side-story. These dreaded knights order Arthur and Bedevere to find a shrubbery. What happens after that is a long story.

Answer: Holy Hand Grenade

The Holy Hand Grenade is what the knights use to kill the evil rabbit and enter the cave of Caerbannog. There they read the last words of Joseph of Arimathea, which leads them to Castle Aaauuuggghhh.

Answer: Tim the Enchanter

Tim the Enchanter is extremely helpful to Arthur and his knights. He is the one who leads them to the cave of Caerbannog. He also warns them of the fierce bunny rabbit that guards the cave. Of course, they don't listen to him about that ... until they confront it.

Answer: The Holy Grail

Basically, there would be no movie without the Holy Grail in the story. The Holy Grail is what the knights go in search of (as a quest given by God), which causes everything else in the story to happen.

Answer: Camelot

Camelot is where King Arthur's castle is located. Inside is the Round Table and its noble knights, who put on a song and dance performance as King Arthur and his newly dubbed knights approach the castle. This persuades them to NOT go to Camelot because "tis a silly place."

Answer: King Arthur

Graham Chapman plays King Arthur in the movie, among other roles. King Arthur ventures out in search of knights for his Round Table. After he finds five knights, they get a message from God that tells them to find a Holy Grail. This starts the entire search for the Holy Grail.

Answer: Dennis the peasant

Dennis the peasant is seen toward the beginning of the movie. He and his mother get into an argument with Arthur about the government, which in turn angers King Arthur.

Answer: Lady of the Lake

The Lady of the Lake is only mentioned in the movie, not actually seen. However, she is a significant character in the broadway musical, "Monty Python's Spamalot". But in the movie, King Arthur mentions her to Dennis when he talks of how he became king: "The Lady of the Lake -- her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king!"

Answer: Castle Anthrax

Castle Anthrax appeared in "The Story of Sir Galahad". Inside, Galahad finds such women as Zoot and her twin sister Dingo. Castle Anthrax houses young women between the ages of sixteen and nineteen-and-one-half. If you've seen the movie, you probably know what goes on there.
