Film Deaths[]
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) [First Monk/Singing Minstrel/Page crushed by Rabbit/Peasent #4]: Playing multiple roles, “Page crushed by Rabbit” is crushed to death when the French soldiers catapult a giant wooden rabbit out of the castle. “Singing Minstrel” is killed (off-screen), along with the other minstrels, when the knights are forced to eat them to avoid starvation (and there was much rejoicing); his death is described in the narration over an animated scene of the mistrels being pulled behind a hill. (Neil’s two other characters survive the movie). (Played for comic effect)
