10 Utterly Devastating Film Endings That Totally Came Out Of Nowhere
5. Monty Python And The Holy Grail - Everyone Gets Arrested
Who knows what we should have expected from the Python lads, and knowing their surreal humour absolutely anything was on the table, but if you'd have told audiences at the film's start that King Arthur and his round table would be rounded up in paddy wagons come film close Id have called you a liar. But no, this happened, and we all witnessed it happen.
We've passed through all the awesome sketches such as the Black Knight, the castle on the swamp, the French, the knights who formerly said Ni, the bridge scene and the rabbit of Caerbannog and we've had a rip-roaring good time. Then Arthur realises the grail is actually in the French castle the castle Aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhh and he goes to attack it. But just as he's about to charge, the police bundle them, and any concrete resolution, into a van.
Granted, it's not quite as out-of-nowhere as the other entries on this list, but the ending is just so ridiculous that it had to be mentioned. We'd seen the police following the knights throughout proceedings but we didnt pay it any mind we just felt it was another Python-esque joke. However, they then turn up and hurriedly end the entire film, smothering it under the most surreal blanket you've ever seen.
