Movie Trivia:
- Originally erroneously promoted and released in some countries as "Monty Python's Jabberwocky" against the wishes of Terry Gilliam. Threats of legal action resulted in the Python reference being removed from the title on all subsequent reissues.
-
Many of the scenes were shot in a single take, as there was not enough time or money to afford multiple tries.
-
To lend a more realistic bird-like look to the Jabberwock's leg movements, the monster costume was designed so that actor Peter Salmon had to wear it backwards. The fight between the Jabberwock and the Black Knight was choreographed differently than what we see, but Salmon slipped and fell, and director Terry Gilliam decided this looked so natural that he edited the fight sequence to include the fall.
-
Final appearance of Harold Goodwin in a theatrically released film. The rest of his career was spent in television productions.
-
Producer Sanford Lieberson originally wanted Michael Crawford for the role of Dennis. John Cleese and Iain Cuthbertson turned down roles in this movie.
