A movie about knights in the mid evil times during king Arthur's time who walk around acting like they are riding horses and searching for paradise they go through the black plague and other things in history when they get to paradise they decide they don't wanna be there so they keep going around and god tells them to find the whole holy grail so it takes them through a bunch of other funny adventures and a couple of them get knocked off by a serial rabbit which they defeat with a holy grenade one dies at the bridge of death because he cant answer a question right the only two left are king Arthur and Sir Bedevere are at the castle with the grail in it where they meet two soldiers who had taughted them before and they cant get into the castle at the end for the grail.....It is a very low budget film with a very simple set but done in the spirit of comedy not realism the wardrobe is very mid evil with the chain mail and all that but it is just a very simple funny movie that works.
