Behind the scenes

Eric is a reference to the Monty Python Holy Grail sketch, in which the knights originally were going to ride real horses, but because of the film's minuscule budget, the Pythons decided that their characters would mime horse-riding while their porters trotted behind them banging coconut shells together.

• The joke was derived from the old-fashioned sound effect used by radio shows to convey the sound of hooves clattering. This was later referred to in the German release of the film, which translated the title as Die Ritter der Kokosnuß ("The Knights of the Coconut").
