Given that there are times it seems like Oscar consideration can materialize overnight for a movie with nothing more than a good trailer, Monty Python & the Holy Grail might just need a second look from the Oscar judges based on a new trailer that has surfaced some 38 years after the cult classic premiered in 1975.

While the soon-to-be limbless Black Knight would be pleased to see he’s finally getting the respect he so deserves, I do find it rather difficult to believe that I would have camped out overnight that fateful evening at the Wilshire Theater in Dallas for one of the world premiere screenings had this trailer played leading up to that night.
 

 
The fact that we were handed two coconut halves upon entering the theater would have been even more bizarre had we seen nothing but the seriousness of King Arthur and his quest for the Grail.
