Monty Python - The Black Knight - Tis But A Scratch

A scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail in which the Black Knight valiantly denies King Arthur from crossing his bridge (or rather a plank of wood) and loses all of his limbs in the process.

[vkingsley]

The guy literally started his victory prayer and got kicked in the face by an armless warrior🤣

[connor-cxwc]

*gets all four limbs cut off*
_“Alright, we’ll call it a draw!”_

[LOEKASH]

Fun fact: John Cleese wrote this scene because he hates the saying "you never truly lose until you give up"

[hackerhaha]

Fun fact : the Black Knight’s coat of arms is a boar.. a creature known for ignoring deadly wounds to keep fighting.

[nevofi]

He litterally just said “No.” to death.

[genuinesaucy]

I love how they're fighting to the death over crossing a 3-foot creek bridge

[bitingicecream]

Arthur: *slitghly taps black night’s arm*

arm: *falls off*

[BurttheBard]

Arthur had a clear advantage - he was on horseback the whole fight

[sergiovelasquez]

*Loses both arms and legs*
"Alright! We'll call it a draw."

What a legend.

Like how he goes from speaking like: "I move... for no man" to "Chicken, chicken!"

[subphantom]

"You got no arms left!"
"It's a flesh wound"

[FanGirl]

Fun fact: Elvis Presley was obsessed with this movie and when he first watched it he was crying with laughter. He would recite lines from the movie and this was one of his favourite scenes. When he broke his finger playing football he once said “just a flesh wound”.

[tacoblude]

This happened like 1000 years ago, so the black knight is probably still sitting in some secluded British forest without his arms or legs

[huygfc]

his skill is level 1 but his attitude is over 999.

[blengdiabloed]

"a man who never admits defeat never loses"

and this man is the embodiment of that. literally.

[unsungzero]

"We thank thee, Lord, that in thy mer-"
*BAM*

That part gets me every time 🤣

[lokiijustwannasleep]

"None shall pass"
"What?"
"NONE SHALL PASS"

[BowserHatGamer]

Every iconic quote:

"You make me sad. So be it!"
"None shall pass."
"Tis but a scratch. A scratch? Your arm's off! No it isn't. What's that then?"
"We thank thee lord, that in thy- (Gets kicked in the head)"
"Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left! Yes I have. Look! Just a flesh wound."
"Chicken! Chickeen!"
"What are you gonna do, bleed on me? I'M INVINCIBLE!"
"I'LL BITE YOUR LEGS OFF!"

[jamesesterline]

Fun fact: When he has only one leg left he's being played by a guy with only one limb. The rest of the scenes he is played by a normal dude.
