When Writer and Actor Terry Gilliam asked British animation legend Bob Godfrey if he could use his camera to re-create his animated sequences for this movie, Godfrey didn't know who Gilliam was and told him to "bugger off". Later, Godfrey found out that Gilliam was a member of the Monty Python team and helped him complete the sequences for this movie.
The sets were built in an abandoned dairy, rather than on a more costly soundstage.
Monty Python's first theatrical movie. It was intended to introduce American audiences to Monty Python's comedy, but it made much more money in the U.K., where viewers had already seen most of the sketches on Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969).
This movie was filmed between the first and second seasons of Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969). It contains several sketches that had been written for the second season, but not yet performed, including the "Hungarian Phrasebook" sketch.
According to Writer and Actor Terry Gilliam, Executive Producer Victor Lownes, who primarily represented Playboy Magazine (which funded the movie), insisted on getting an animated credit equal in size to those of the group members.
"Customer: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there. Owner: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee! Customer: "VOOM"? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised! Owner: No no! 'E's pining! Customer: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!"
"Hungarian man: [consulting phrase book] I will not buy this record, it is scratched. Tobacconist: What? Hungarian man: I will not buy this record, it is scratched. Tobacconist: No, no, this is a tobacconist. Hungarian man: Ah! I will not buy this tobacconist, *it* is scratched! Tobacconist: No, no, tobacco... cigarettes. Hungarian man: Cigarettes? Ya ya. [consulting phrase book] Hungarian man: Ah... my hovercraft is full of eels. Tobacconist: What? Hungarian man: My hovercraft is full of eels. Tobacconist: Matches? Hungarian man: Ya ya! Do you want... do you want... to come back to my place, bouncy bouncy? Tobacconist: That will be six shillings, please. Hungarian man: If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me... I am no longer infected."
