It’s just a flesh wound . . .

Fresh off the heels of the epic Dune vignette we featured a few days ago, builder Gus brings us another iconic movie scene: the confrontation with the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Arthur, King of the Britons, has momentarily defeated the enemy knight, whose arms have been comically shorn from his shoulders. (He’s had worse.) The scene is instantly recognizable, thanks to authentic details like cream puffs standing in for the coconuts Patsy claps together to simulate a horse’s hooves. Now Arthur, believing his foe vanquished, prepares to cross the bridge. After all, what’s the Black Knight going to do, bleed on him?
