Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Black Knight (John Cleese)

Comments for death : Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Black Knight (John Cleese).

One of the funniest write-ups on this site. I really should seek this out.

It's actually quite difficult to write up Python deaths, as there's no way my writing can do the scene any justice. I'm actually tempted to just post script transcripts in fact!

If this is really as good as everyone says it is, I'll have to find a copy right away!

Funniest death ever. Although I think it was Arthur who said 'We'll call it a draw' not the Black Knight

Nah, Arthur is totally fed up with him by that point and just walks off

*Checks subtitles on DVD* Ah, I see. For years I had thought that Arthur had said it.

Hey, does someone notice that there is a death like that in an old animated chess game? =D
I´ll consider it´s an homage of some kind

Yes! It was called Battlechess, and there were numerous amusing animations depending on which piece took another piece.
The "knight vs knight" animation was *definitely* an homage to Python in my opinion, and Wikipedia agrees.

I'd be careful about checking subtitles. They're usually done by 3rd party companies who don't have a script. I've caught serious errors (including entire misheard sentences) in quite a number of DVDs. And, if you're uncertain who said something, I'd bet cash-money that THEY were uncertain too.

Having not watched Grail in a while, I can't say as to who actually said it, but I'd be hesitant to decide the matter with subtitles.
