Short description
After a wizard's spell goes awry, 12th-century Gallic knight Godefroy de Papincourt, Count of Montmirail finds himself transported to 1993, along with his dimwitted servant, Jacquouille la Fripouille. Startled and perplexed by modern technology, the duo run amok, destroying cars and causing chaos until they meet Beatrice de Montmirail, an aristocratic descendant of the nobleman, who may be able to help them get back to 1123.
What's left behind the scenes
- Mel Brooks was brought in to write and record the characters' lines in English for the film's release in the US. The result was categorically disliked by audiences at preview screenings. This also displeased director/screenwriter Jean-Marie Poiré, who stated that Brooks' efforts had turned a comedy about a knight from France into a parody with such a pronounced French accent that the meaning of what was said could only be understood with great difficulty. For this reason, Miramax delayed the film's release to the American market until the summer of 1996 and included standard subtitles in the film. Regardless, Brooks was paid $500,000.
