Proof at last!
Okay children, whip out your widescreen copies of LC. This you gotta see!
Now, we've all speculated that when the grail knight takes a swing at Indy with his sword, he cuts the bag strap - hence no MK VII for the rest of the film.
Fast forward to this scene and watch CLOSELY in the RIGHT-HAND corner, just as Donovan scoops water into the false grail ("this certainly is the cup of the king of kings")
There you have it!
On the floor near Indy's feet.
MK VII bag, severed strap, plain as day!
CASE CLOSED.
REMEMBER you will only see this in the WIDESCREEN format only!!!
To those who've already found it before this post - my bad.
But for those who finally wanted proof - here it is!
Later

Seriously!! The dude can't even go outside to get some fresh air or pick up his dry cleaning! He's gotta sit around on his 700 year old butt in the same clothes he wore when he got there, and he's got no Sudoku, either!
What a boring life! This brings up the question........ would you rather be immortal and trapped / bored, or mortal and die but have fun? Uh, I think it's obvious ... the dude chose poorly!

What about food and drink? He had that little bowl of water, but that would not last 700 years. He couldn't leave, what if a worthy advesary arrived just then. That means must have ordered in, in which case, wouldn't the pizza guy or Chinese food delivery guy have to go through the three tasks? If they made it I guess they could attempt to drink of the Cup of Christ. If they chose poorly however, no tip in the world would make up for that bad day...just some thoughts on the subject.

I'm no expert, but I think the Ninja were Japanese, which would be odd seeing as they would be delivering Chinese food. And I don't know about back then, but the Chinese food delivered to my place can go about three months without going bad...no MSG my...but if by chance it was no longer fresh, the Holy Grail makes all things better, even Monty Python films that were great before adding the Grail.

duh, obviously the power of the grail sustained his life, meaning he did'n need food.
about the "same-clothes-for-700-years" thing, i always assumed that if drinking from the grail can heal all wounds and grant the drinker immortality then pouring water from the grail could repair an refresh the knight's garb.

Not at all. I've seen katana that were over 500 years old that were still as sharp and shiny as if they'd just come from the polisher. A good blade will last nigh unto forever as long as it's properly maintained.schwammy wrote:Surprising that a thousand-year-old sword would be so sharp.

And I thought going on a 9 hour drive to Mexico and with only one tape in the car was bad, but 700 years with only one book... He certainly did not keep the cave clean. Everthing is dusty. I am sure that after a while he came up with some really good "knock knock" jokes. Knock knock, Who's there? Grail knight! Grail knight who?

"Heeeeerrrrreeee's Johnny!....D'OH!"
Man that takes me back! I havent seen that episode in forever. Random thought: How funny would it be to have the Grail Knight keep a "Complaint Dept: TAKE A NUMBER -->" - with the number attached to a hand grenade gag on the alter where he was reading (that same book over and OVER).

I think he had a couple of people throughout the centuries to entertain. Take this old video parody of that scene. It's pretty funny.
