Trivia

• Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Genesis all contributed to this movie’s budget.
• The famous depiction of galloping horses by using coconut shells (a traditional radio-show sound effect) came about from the purely practical reason that the production simply could not afford real horses.
• Sir Michael Palin played the most characters – twelve.
• This movie’s abrupt ending came about because it didn’t have the budget for a large-scale battle sequence.
