Monty Python and Quest for the Holy Grail: Are there any inappropriate scenes?

I%26#039;m a teacher and figured I would show the kids this movie today as they were so good yesterday. I haven%26#039;t seen the movie in a very long time and was wondering if it would be appropriate for a middle school classroom. The MPAA rating is PG, but since it is an older flick, I figured it may fall under different rules than today%26#039;s movies. Thanks in advance.

there is no sex or real violence in it, show it to them, they%26#039;ll love it!

the whore house/castle scene is the most lewd... which is quite tame... I saw it first time in jr. high

Well this being Bush Era Conservative Christian America maybe not - - - there is much that is no longer %26#039;politically correct%26#039; --- personally I think is is fine for all ages but having entered a new spooky age -- nuff said..



Peace....

I%26#039;m sure there%26#039;s going to be some kid with a religious wacko parent just itching to go after them %26quot;godless,tolerance teaching public schools%26quot;. Great movie, I have it myself. But it only takes one jerk to blow something out of proportion to get a load dumped on you.

Monty Python doesn%26#039;t have a whole lot of scenes that are offensive. There are a few mild instances of violence (the Black Knight scene, for example), but they%26#039;re not very bloody, and they%26#039;re used for comic effect. It would probably still be rated PG by today%26#039;s standards.

There is no gross nudity or frank sexual dialoge, and I think the movie is down right one of the best comdies out there. My 9 yr old step son has seen most of it and enjoyed the silliness of it all, though didn%26#039;t understand what mom and step dad were laughing at in some scenes..

Language is a concern (as in the Castle Anthrax sequence, there is a lot of sex talk) and there is some violence, not only with the Black Night Sequence, but with the historian getting cut down. Some also might have objections to the depiction of God.



Remember, it is English Humor and they are a bit more free-wheeling

How old are the kids? There are some parts like the castle anthrax where they talk about spankings, and where Sir G says %26quot;I%26#039;ll bet you%26#039;re gay%26quot;. There%26#039;s nothing too bad, but it depends on what grade you are showing it to... it also depends on school rules about outside movies... My sister watched Holy Grail in her HS AP Euro class.

If you have the PG version you should be okay but there is a scene in the original version that has Lancelot being taunted and before that for a few seconds there is an image of vailed nudity. Other than that it is just blood and filth.
