1. Only the true messiah would deny he is the messiah...OK...I'm the messiah.Look, Look he IS the messiah.
2. We are the peoples front of Judea, and we would like to know what has Rome given us (besides roads, aquaducts, law and order, education....)
3. Always look on the bright side of life...la...la

is a source of considerable embarassment to me as I was the ONLY person that laughed in a full theatre (I still cringe at that memory, but I still laugh)The Crowd scene at the Sermon on the Mount, (and they can't quite hear)
"The Greek will Inherit the Earth, oh I don't like the sound of that"
No, THE MEEK, THE MEEK!!
"OH I'M GLAD THEY'RE GETTING SOMETHING, THEY HAVE SUCH A HELLUVA TIME"

I have a friend from London who can rattle those lines off and do all the accents as well, after a few ales we are in hysterics without even having to watch the film!
George Harrison underwrote this "Handmade Films" production, which did rather well at the box office
Unfortunately, later "Handmade Films" underwritten by him did not do nearly as well, especially the brilliant "Withnail and I" (Richard E Grant) which only became a hit (on video) some ten years after it's release
This was one of the reasons for the unfortunate financial downward spiral and storm of litigation that dogged George Harrisons last days
Damned shame, because we would never have had those great films without him; he really deserved better IMHO

film. Geez, the dope dealer with the huge spliff is HILARIOUS.
Agreed, captures the 70's like a butterfly in a jar. The producers were so keen to get Ralph Brown for that role they held up the production of "Withnail" to accomodate his schedule; thank God they did, no-one could've done it better or been more funny!
He is the bartender in "The Crying Game"
Paul McGann and Ralph Brown are also in Alien 3, a very odd bit of casting IMHO
Amazing just how few people have heard of, or seen, this great film
