[edit] Added A Bit

I put in the bit about Blazing Dragons. Seemed appropriate. --72.60.165.183 23:03, 31 August 2006 (UTC)


This page seems like it would belong more at Cave of Caerbannog, or, better yet, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, perhaps. Is it really notable? jglc | t | c 18:00, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yes it is notable. How on earth could you reduce the No Ordinary Rabbit to just a blurb describing the film in general??? :p Tom S.

I think the Cave of Caerbannog should be merged into this one. The movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail references the rabbit, not the cave. Jaylweb 07:26, 27 September 2007 (UTC)


"The video game The Legend of Zelda has a killer rabbit as one of the in-game enemies."

Killer rabbit? What killer rabbit? 213.84.230.131 17:46, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it was referring to a Pols Voice? --80.195.190.235 18:59, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

There's no way you can seriously construe the Pols Voice as a Holy Grail reference. First, there's more than one of it. Second, they're not even rabbits - they're blobs with whiskers and long ears! [1] --220.237.67.125 13:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Carter's Killer Rabbit

I was searching for President Carter's encounter with the killer rabbit, and found no mention of it here. Could someone please put a mention this in and either a link or disambiguation to the wikipedia entry on "Swamp Rabbit".204.49.209.120 18:43, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted sentence

I've removed this sentence from the end of the first paragraph: The knights also build, and survive the flinging back of a giant wooden Trojan Rabbit, another reference to this rodent. At this point in the film, the actual rabbit has yet to make an appearance, and the knights aren't mentioned in the introduction either. Feezo (Talk) 00:20, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Killer bunnies reference?

Should there be a mention of Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Magic Carrot in this article? 64.229.112.102 21:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is now in the See also section. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:32, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spamalot

I think that somewhere in this article it should mention that the killer rabbit makes an appearance in the musical Spamalot. I don't know of any website that can confirm this off the top of my head but it is mentioned on the page for Spamalot itself. Also I can't really think of the best way to include this. Should it get its own mention and spoiler warning, should it just appear in the section listing other refrences to the rabbit? I dunno, what do other people think? 64.229.163.157 01:11, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

This has been done. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:32, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Buffy The Vampire Slayer reference

Is Anya's fear of bunnies at all relevant? This rabbit isn't mentioned specifically. Merlin83b 14:58, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree (it's hinted in Season 7 that it comes from her love of them as a human). I'm removing it.Paul E Nolan 23:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inaba White Rabbit

They list the character Inaba White Rabbit from Yugioh as a reference to this character, this is wrong, as Inaba is base off a Japanese story about a white rabbit in Inaba http://www.geocities.co.jp/HeartLand-Gaien/7211/kudos7/inaba.html I'm going to delete it now 70.16.26.211 22:36, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Killer_Rabbit.jpg

So what happened to the pic of the rabbit? I see it was deleted, then someone deleted the pic. Is there any way to restore the pic and fix the issues that caused it to be deleted? Jaylweb 07:26, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another Popular Culture Reference.

It also mentions the white rabbit in Guild Wars in the game GW:EN one of the norn syas they slew like 3 score bears 2 dozen wolves and 1 very vicious rabbit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.203.96 (talk) 07:00, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FFXI

Final Fantasy 11 most certainly does not make reference to it. Just because rabbits are a type of enemy in-game does not mean it was influenced by Holy Grail at all, and if you were to for some reason insist that any relatively powerful rabbit in any game is a reference to the movie, your list would be enormous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.143.64.216 (talk) 20:20, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
