Notes
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Near the end of the Monks' head pounding scene, the monk in the foreground appears to hit himself so hard that he stumbles. (more)

Trivia:
On the 2001 special edition DVD release, the opening moments of Dentist on the Job (1961) is seen before a voice (probably Terry Jones) mumbles that this is the wrong film and scrambles to start the correct one. The alternate title of the film "Dentist on the Job" is "Get On With It!". (more)
