The High Crusade
1994, English. Directed by Holger Neuhäuser & Klaus Knoesel.
...because a heathen is a heathen.
A Monty Pythonesque tale of a band of Crusaders who find themselves in possession of an alien ship and the alien to pilot it. Armed with the means to conquer the Holy Land, the naive Crusaders set off on a grand crusade, only to find themselves not in Jerusalem, but at the mercy of an entire alien world.
