A giant wooden rabbit featured in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. After the scene in which the French soldier taunts King Arthur and his knights at the
French castle, Arthur has his
men, on the advice of Sir Bedevere, build the Trojan Rabbit in order to storm the castle in the manner that the Greeks did during the Trojan War. However, the knights mess up the plan by not having anyone hide inside the rabbit. After the
French soldiers take the rabbit into their castle, Sir Bedevere reveals the plan to King Arthur and everyone else and they realize that they messed it up. The
French soldiers then catapult the wooden rabbit out of the fortress and it lands one of the pages.
-King Arthur: What happens now?
-Sir Bedevere: Well, now, uh, Launcelot, Galahad, and I, uh, wait until nightfall, and then leap out of the
rabbit, taking the
French, uh, by surprise. Not only by surprise, but totally unarmed!
-Arthur: Who leaps out?
-Bedevere: U-- u-- uh, Launcelot, Galahad, and I. Uh, leap out of the
rabbit, uh, and uh...
-Arthur: Ohh... (he and Lancelot slowly put their hands to their heads at the realization that they messed up)
-Bedevere: Oh. Um, l-- look, i-- i-- if we built this large wooden
badger--
(twang of a catapult is heard from the
French castle and the Trojan Rabbit comes flying towards where the knights are hiding)
-Arthur: Run away!
-Other knights: Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away!
(Trojan Rabbit lands on one of the pages)
