Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl

Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl is a 1982 concert film in which the Monty Python comedy troupe perform many of their greatest sketches at the Hollywood Bowl. The show also included filmed inserts which were mostly taken from two Monty Python specials, Monty Pythons Fliegender Zirkus, which had been broadcast on German television in 1972. The performance was recorded on videotape in September 1980 and transferred to film. In the wake of the worldwide success of Monty Pythons Life of Brian, the Pythons originally planned to release a film consisting of the two German shows redubbed and reedited, but this proved impractical, and so Hollywood Bowl was released instead.

The Silly Olympics sketch is from the first Monty Pythons Fliegender Zirkus episode, dubbed into English. The original version also featured the events 1500m for people and their mothers and Hammer throw to America, whereas the latter acted as a link to the next sketch.A film version of the Hollywood Bowl performances, with direction credited to Terry Hughes, was given a limited theatrical release in North America beginning onJune 1982. It grossed a total of US327,958 during its theatrical run. ........
