In the Monty Python And The Holy Grail movie, the knights encounter a 'killer' rabbit in The Cave of Caerbannog, which is the home of the Legendary Black Beast of Arrrghhh. After the ‘killer’ rabbit decapitates one of King Arthur’s knights, kills several others and injures several, the Knights employ the Holy Hand Grenade of Antiock to dispatch the rabbit and move forward with their quest.
The rabbit scene was shot outside the Tomnadashan copper mine, a cave four miles from the Perthshire village of Killin.
The tale of the rabbit has a parallel in the early story of the Roman de Renart in which a foe takes hubristic pride in his defeat of a ferocious hare.
The idea for the rabbit in the movie was taken from the façade of the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris. This illustrates the weakness of cowardice by showing a knight fleeing from a rabbit.
