Trivia: In the scene with Tim the enchanter (played by John Cleese who also plays sir Lancelot), Lancelot has his face covered as another actor was used. It was the only time he wears a helmet. There's an interview with the actor who stood in for John Cleese about 'my day as a Monty Python extra': https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2017/mar/31/sitting-around-knitted-chainmail-extra-monty-python-holy-grail 'I wore a helmet over my face and had to be careful where I walked. That was the only downside of taking John's place - nobody can see my face. He starts the scene standing on a pinnacle, with a sheer drop either side. He was up there for nearly an hour, and it was pretty windy. The team kept shouting: "Are you all right?" The extent of my acting involved pretending my imaginary horse was rearing when the bangs went off.'

Trivia: After studios refused, Monty Python and the Holy Grail was instead financed by the rock stars Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Jethro Tull and Elton John who all saw it as simply 'a good tax write-off."

Trivia: The use of coconuts in the film was so popular it was later referred to in the German release of the film, which translated the title as Die Ritter der Kokosnuß (Knights of the Coconut).
