Look at the category:

"The Python Films:Live at the Hollywood Bowl"

So, yes, we are discussing said movie here.

Well, this special was pretty good, just not great. Like I said in my other posts, many of MP's sketches were better done without a live audience present. But, as it was live, the part where Terry J's wig flew off was pretty funny, and the Pythons improvised a bit to cover it up!

I liked the "History Of Humour" segment, where Terry G had to eat the whole banana really quickly, and Terry J had a whole bunch of cream pies squashed in his face...and other places!

Neil Innes and Carol Cleveland were added bonuses, his songs were pretty good, and her participation in the skits needing a woman were quite entertaining. Of course, Terry J has always played a pretty convincing woman, seeing as how he was the shortest in the group and his voice could go up that high!

This special is also available in the double DVD "Monty Python Live" which also includes a reunion of sorts of the group. The alive five are present on the stage along with an urn, which presumably contains Graham Chapman's remains. It doesn't, but that was the joke. Especially when one of them knocks it over and it spills ashes all on the stage!

I tell ya, what a wacky sense of humour those Brit Boys (and one Yank) have!
