An Honest Trailer for Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Screen Junkies has gotten into the habit of going back and producing an Honest Trailer for older movies that are still relevant, but I don't believe they've ever done one for a movie that is 50 years old! However, Monty Python and the Holy Grail recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, and people are still watching -and quoting- the film. So what do modern irreverent film critics have to say about Monty Python and the Holy Grail? They pretty much think it is a silly place and then fart in your general direction. Meanwhile, we get to relive the best parts of the movie in a series of clips, plus learn some trivia and see some easter eggs that only become clear after multiple viewings. Oh, we also catch a glimpse of the pop culture juggernaut that movie became years later, and catch up with what the Pythons have been doing in the 50 years since.

That appears to be an 89 foot pipe flatcar about to be unloaded by idiots. Those are not beams--they are sections of track. The average weight of American railroad track is 130 pounds per yard. Each of those rails are about 80 feet long and so, would weigh just about 3460 lbs. I am pretty sure the whole load exceeds the maximum safe loading for those fork lifts.

all they needed to do was add some cribbage between the rails and the backplate then tip the forks back and it would have been fine. four of those lifts could do that lift no problem but god damn, you have to use your triangle of stability or else exactly this happens, and you have to be extra careful with a team pick when you start to drive or else you get trouble. They were on a incline on the embankment so they felt stable but as soon as they rolled off that they found bad times.
idiot directing this thing had them clear of the car six inches below where he had them raise too. obviously this was poorly planned out too if they hadnt picked this kind of losd before they should have discussed the plan before and then got it done. Could have also loaded the backs of the forklifts down while lifting and tipoing to add a little extra stability then taken that off and driven back. if they had four Taylor lifts im sure they could have found a couple small forklifts to put on the back there tines pressing down on their counterweights. of course osha doesnt technically allow this in our country.
