One
fun fact about "
Monty Python And The Holy Grail" is that the 3000 first
viewers on the New York
premiere, got a free
coconut with the
ticket.
This is a very funny promotional stunt, completely in character, considering Monty Python's taste for silly, out-of-place absurdities.
This is an event I'd really like to see for myself, because of the
sheer intensity of
silliness involved. Free
edibles or other
SWAG handed out at premieres are not that
uncommon, but a
coconut is a
fruit that is completely useless without the utilization of some
coconut tool. Plus it's very large and not very
convenient dragging all the way home after the movie is over.
I can only imagine what the people among the first 3000 thought, as they got their limited edition coconuts handed out at the entrance of the show, and I can only guess at what the masterminds of the idea were thinking as the 3000 coconut wielding people were heading home through the streets and public transportation system of New York.
