Monty Python And the Holy Grail

ReportKing Arthur, accompanied by his squire, recruits his Knights of the Round Table, including Sir Bedevere the Wise, Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot and Sir Galahad the Pure. On the way, Arthur battles the Black Knight who, despite having had all his limbs chopped off, insists he can still fight. They reach Camelot, but Arthur decides not to enter, as "it is a silly place".

The character is at the least an older teenager, probably a young man. And his scene ends happily with him getting to sing, he's perfectly fine. Even though he kinda falls out of a tower, off screen, but is saved.

5 of the knights of the round table die throughout the movie. Three of them are killed by a killer rabbit. Their deaths aren't really graphic but there is A LOT of blood. And the two others get catapulted down from a bridge after answering questions wrong. You only see them flying away.

References are made to Sir Robin having "personally wet himself at the Battle of Badon Hill" but this is prior to the events of the film, later on the same character when scared says "I've soiled my armour!" and soon after "I've done it again!". Nothing is shown and all mentions are comedic.

The character King Arthur is often seen as a christian king. When he triumphs over defeating the Black Witch, he kneels down and praises God. Also there are monks throughout the movie that appear. Their faces are covered by their robes and they often are seen smacking themselves in the head with boards as some kind of self-flagellation. An animated illustration of God and other heavenly beings shows up multiple times in the film to direct Arthur to find the holy grail. They also go to use the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch and Brother Maynard quotes from a holy book that reads like the Bible but has no real religious content

One of the knights of the round table gets to a castle where only women live. They get really excited about him, telling him to stay and to let them help him with his wounds. He is visibly uncomfortable with them touching him. One of the women later tells the knight that he should b*ng one of the other women as a punishment and that he should have oral s*x with them. He is rescued by the other knights before he has to do anything he doesn't want to do.
