The Holy Hand Grenade Of Antioch

The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch is a fictional super weapon which features in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The Holy Hand Grenade is used to destroy the Killer Rabbit in order that the knights might continue their quest for the Holy Grail. Rather long-winded instructions for the use of the Holy hand Grenade are found in the fictional "Book of Armaments" and can be found later in this lens.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is one of my favourite movies and the scene featuring the ridiculous Holy Hand Grenade is one of the funniest in my opinion. On this lens you can watch the Holy Hand Grenade scene, buy your own version of the weapon and see associated products which feature the grenade.

Hope you enjoy the silliness.

The Holy Hand Grenade Of Antioch

Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch on Amazon.com

"And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it." Amen."

This plush Holy Hand Grenade contains a whoopee cushion, which makes a flatulent sound when squeezed or sat upon. The instructions to this Holy Hand Grenade read, "To use, squeeze the hand grenade". Also, on the packaging there is the well-known excerpt from the Book of Armaments, as is in the movie.

    Well, three of the four residents of my home love Monty Python...can you guess who doesn't? Honestly, I've never watched one of the movies but I did see the play when it passed through Ottawa and enjoyed it. In any case, I think this is an excellent page dedicated to the Holy Hand Grenade.
