Life of Brian deleted scene: Otto
(18.2 MB, Quicktime)
My favorite deleted scene from "Life of Brian" is a controversial scene starring Eric Idle as Otto, leader of the Judean People's Front crack suicide squad. A religious madman, he is a daft, Hitleresque fool. The irony of a Jewish Hitler was too good for the Pythons to resist! The scene was deleted from the final film, supposedly because it held up the flow of the film. A pity as it's quite funny, and certainly offensive in some interesting ways. It's available on the Criterion Life of Brian DVD, along with many other deleted scenes and goodies, so buy it ...
Life of Brian deleted scene: Sheep
(17.8 MB, Quicktime)
A deleted scene from the beginning of "Life of Brian." And lo, there were shepherds watching their flock by night. And they were visited by an angel. But this isn't their story. This is the story of the shepherds over the next hill, who didn't get visited by an angel, and missed out on the entire birth of Christ. I like this sketch because it's so low-key. It's available on the Criterion Life of Brian DVD, along with many other deleted scenes and goodies, so buy it ...
Away From It All
Here by popular demand is a very rare item, the 19-minute travelogue that ran before Python's "Life of Brian" in some theaters and has not been seen since. (It's not on the DVD.) Yes, travelogues used to run before movies in the old days, along with newsreels and cartoons, before these were phased out ... well, for "Life of Brian" the Pythons decided to bring back the travelogue, with just a few special touches. Narrated by John Cleese. Take a gondola ride to Venice! Everyone loves gondolas! I get more letters about this one than any other item here.
