Indeed, up to that point, Gilliam was working as a member of the Monty Python, it was his first stand-alone feature and that was pretty obvious. I mean, you can see that even tho... read more

A young peasant, with no interest in adventure or fortune, is mistaken as the kingdom's only hope when a horrible monster threatens the countryside.

"Monty Python's Terry Gilliam's first solo directorial effort is similar to his comedy team's style. Michael Palin stars as Dennis, a cooper's assistant, finds himself in a city terrorised by a monster. A wealth of familiar comic talents co-star in a film that is dirty and smokey and brimming with noise as the jokes come thick and fast, some hitting their targets while others falling flat. Not the massive success of, say, Holy Grail but interesting and fun nevertheless."
