And now! At Last! Another film completely different from some of the other films which aren't quite the same as this one is.

AdventureComedyFantasy

King 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".

VIBE

This is a riotous, endlessly quotable journey through medieval madness, brimming with anachronistic gags and brilliant, anarchic wit. Its low-budget charm and relentless absurdity create a uniquely joyful, irreverent experience that's pure, unadulterated comedic genius.
