I give The Holy Grail a rating of PGP-13

...

...

the catapult/trebuchet used to launch the cow the distance it did would not be able to launch the large wooden rabbit.....or another way to look at it, if the catapult could launch the large wooden rabbit then the cow would have ended up in the next county.

also can a swallow carry a coconut? in the movie the testing was being done by Sir Bedevere but was never completed.

and of course, finally, how could the prince have been saved at the last minute after falling out of the tall tower?

Well, he was going to tell...
We just never got to hear it in the movie, since they cut to another scene.

Perhaps the wooden rabbit was constructed out of balsa wood, which is quite light and more easily catapulted. Razz

Don't forget that in other areas The Holy Grail pays great attention to the details of physics, particularly in the areas of aerodynamics and witch detection! Very Happy

Bee Movie gets the award for insultingly impossible biology.

Not because of the talking bees, but because of the majikal curative properties of flower pollen to instantly bring all grasses, trees, flowers, buildings and daschunds instantly into full bloom.

Movie Physics.... The choices are so abundant.....
How about simply the inability to "suspend disbelief"

My all time favorite hated show
The A Team


10,000 rounds of ammo and a couple dozen grenades etc. and never a single flesh wound.

I Pity the Fool...

Not true.

It should read 10,000 rounds an not one bad guy hit. The good guys did get hit a few times.

With that green cloud hanging over your head she would be dead before you could apply the pigification to her.
