Tagline:

And now! At Last! Another film completely different from some of the other films which aren't quite the same as this one is.

Overview:

King Arthur, accompanied by his squire, recruits his Knights of the Round Table, including Sir Bedevere the Wise, Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot and Sir Galahad the Pure. On the way, Arthur battles the Black Knight who, despite having had all his limbs chopped off, insists he can still fight. They reach Camelot, but Arthur decides not to enter, as "it is a silly place".

Review:

It’s just bits, and someone it manages to be a full story. Sure, some segments don’t land as well as others, and others only exist because the film was so low budget that they couldn’t even afford horses, but it still ends up as timeless good fun!
