A series of scenes from history anticipating 'Forever and a Day', 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail', 'History of the World Part 1', and so on.
When the Brave Knights first set eyes upon the inspiring sight of Castle Camelot upon the brow of a hill in 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail', Terry Gilliam caustically cuts in "It's only a model!!"; and there are plenty of those in this. It even includes the mob baying for the blood of a witch (and even casts an American actress in the role, as the Pythons did); although that portion of the film is played straight.
Exactly what parts throughout are actually intended to be funny is never always clear, but the fact it was necessary (for obvious reasons) to retitle it 'Our Heritage' north of the border is certainly merits a smile.
