Welcome to Movies Reimagined. Unlike SithVamp Reviews or My Thoughts On, I don’t review movies here. Instead, as the title of the show suggests, I reimagine certain movies I’ve seen. I’ll start with Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

As most people may know, Monty Python and the Holy Grail is one of the funniest comedy movies ever made; a fantasy comedy about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table going on a Quest to find the Holy Grail. I myself like the movie too, but there is one thing that I didn’t like about it: the ending.

Now I know that this is a comedy and all, but even if the movie is a comedy, don’t you want the heroes to succeed in the end?

Here’s my version of the ending of Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
First off, the Professor Getting Killed part is not in the movie.

Second, Sir Galahad and Sir Robin don’t die in the Gorge of Death. They, along with Arthur, Bedevere and Launcelot, make it to the French Castle, where they keep the Holy Grail. And after having enough of the French Guards’ trolling, Arthur summons his army, they attack the Castle and a big, but hilarious battle begins. Pies are being thrown, the French once again throw farm animals at the British, and Sir Robin even wets his pants. And it would even include the Don’t Feed the Trolls message: Bedevere realizes what the French’s game is, so he tells Arthur and the rest of the Knights to just ignore them. Arthur and the Knights do this, and when he goes to get the Holy Grail, the French Leader tries to insult him, but Arthur ignores him. And in the end, Arthur and the Knights get the Grail and the French surrender.

That’s just how I imagine the ending of the movie.

Actually, Monty Python and the Holy Grail was going to end with a big battle with the French getting defeated by swallows dropping coconuts on them. Problem is, Monty Python ran out of time and money before they could film that battle so they had to end it the way they did.  This might be the only movie to survive a bad ending to become a classic.  Others say The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King also fits the bill.
