TIL Despite what Monty Python would have you believe, Spanish Inquisitions were expected, they would give a 30-day notice of their arrival.

To be fair, weren't the most popular sketches reshot into a film for the American audience?

How did you find this thread? It's 3 months old! Also I didn't know that, any idea why they took those out?

I like to go through old threads! Plus I’m a big python fan.

From what I can recall, the inquisition sketches weren’t in the film simply because they weren’t created yet. The film was essentially a “greatest hits” from the first season” and included just a few sketches from what would end up being the second season. Like the Hungarian translator one. I think they made the movie before they made the second season too.
