Synopsis
Terry Gilliam directed this fantasy/comedy taking place in medieval times. Michael Palin stars as Dennis Cooper, a dull-witted bumpkin who stumbles his way through jousting knights, grungy peasants, cross-dressing nuns, and damsels in distress to become a hero. As a hero, he is commissioned to slay an imposing dragon that guards King Bruno the Questionable's (Max Wall) kingdom. The rambunctious monster, the Jabberwocky, runs roughshod over King Bruno's domain. The King has called together all of his knights to the walled city and compels them to duel to the death, with the winner battling the Jabberwocky and winning the hand of King Bruno's daughter. But after the bloody killing of his knights, the King decides on a game of hide and seek instead. This game Dennis wins and he goes one-on-one against the terrible beast.
