Alternative use
The studio logos, opening credits and a brief portion of this film's opening scene is an "Easter egg" in the special edition DVD of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The scene plays automatically if "Play Movie" is selected from the main menu (unless the movie is already in progress). As the screen goes dark, a sputtering, unseen "projectionist" is heard fumbling for the correct reel of film; a "slide" then appears urging the audience to wait while the projectionist changes reels. The 'correct' Monty Python movie's opening credits play properly from there.
