Taglines
- A motion picture destined to offend nearly two thirds of the civilized world. And severely annoy the other third.
- He wasn't the messiah. He was a very naughty boy.
- Honk if you love Brian.
- Just when you thought you were saved...
- See the movie that's controversial, sacrilegious, and blasphemous. But if that's not playing, see The Life of Brian.
- The film that is so funny it was banned in Norway.
Storyline
The Monty Pyton team tells the life, death and resurrection (?) of Brian from Nazareth, an unwilling prophet who wants to free his land from the oppression of Rome. When Brian covers a huge wall with the writing "ROMANI ITE DOMUM" (Romans go home), a local revolutionary group begins to take him seriously...
