Talk:Black Knight (Monty Python)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I can't help but find it funny that wikipedia has about half a page on 'Black Knight', and about five screens on 'Black Knight (Monty Python)' Indigenius 21:10, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dialogue
I fixed a mistake in the dialogue. It was written that the Black Knight had called for a draw after having all of his limbs severed, but it was actually King Arthur who said that, as the Knight was still taunting him for not finishing the fight. Kikkoman 21:07, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
I've watched this movie many times and I am pretty sure that the Black Knight is the one to say, 'All right. We'll call it a draw.'. I think if Arthur was the one to say that, he'd say he had won. He already exclaimed something that sounds like he had won like, 'Victory is mine! We thank thee, Lord, that in thy mercy...' or even 'You are indeed brave, Sir Knight. But the fight is mine.' N J B.
Arthur does indeed have those lines. However, he *also* declares the fight a draw. There are many scripts to the movie available, see for example this one. This line is also spoken by Arthur in the movie itself. I've changed the anon edits back to the version where Arthur has the line, as that is correct. skip (t / c) 14:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)My apologies, it's a little difficult to tell, but it does sound like TBK's voice to me now. My interpretation was that Arthur was no longer concerned with the title of victor, and so agreed to a "draw". skip (t / c) 05:34, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Refrences to the Black Knight?
I've heard that in the PC game Halo, the Grunts occasionally utter the phrase 'I'll bite your kneecaps off'. Could someone confirm this?
- That's in one of the out-takes. It's here - http://www.bungie.net/Games/Halo/page.aspx?section=AudioVideo&subsection=VoiceOuttakes&page=1
- The file is bring_it_on.mp3
- I don't believe it was actually in the game.
In Battle Chess, the capture sequence between two knights pays homage to this scene. It's quite possibly the first CG-Animated rendition of the legendary battle, though I have no means of proving it. Etafly 22:20, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] YouTube links
This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed or you would like to help spread this message contact us on this page. Thanks, ---J.S (t|c) 05:11, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
