There is a listed mistake, which claims that the Boom Mic is visible when the knights are attacked by the killer rabbit. However, it has no timecode and it's too vague, since the fight with the Rabbit contains many shots with fast cutting. After watching the film several times, I realised I couldn't find it without further help. Being a fan of Movie Mistakes and Monty Python, can someone please tell me the exact shot where the boom mic appears?
The film is listed as "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" on the Internet but on the DVD it is called "Quest for the Holy Grail". This is also the only title I've ever heard it referred by IRL. Why are there two titles out? Which one is the correct one? And how come they changed whichever title came first? [I have searched several online DVD retailers and other online sources and not found any mentions of a DVD with "Quest for the Holy Grail" as the title. All are called "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". There is a computer game from 1996 called "Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail" though.]
During the song "Knights of the Round Table" they sing the line: "Between our quests we sequin vests". What does this mean? (English is not my mother tongue.) [Sequins are small, flat, shiny ornamentations that are attached to clothing to give the garment a metallic look. The nights are saying that between quests, they sit arround sewing these items onto vests.]

In the Camelot scene, there is a man that says something like "I like to push the pramalot" what is he saying and what does it mean? [He says "I have to push the pram a lot!" Implying that he's left to look after the children. It's not meant to make sense at all, its just that "pram a lot" was the only thing left to rhyme with Camelot.]
