LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Coming back soon to a theater near you -- a controversial film about a Jewish guy from Nazareth who is worshiped as the Messiah and crucified by the Romans.What's so funny about Biggus Dickus? A new generation is set to find out...No, it's not Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ." It's Monty Python's "Life of Brian."
Inspired by the runaway success -- and public furor -- over Gibson's portrayal of the last 12 hours in the life of Jesus, the creators behind the 1979 biblical satire about an anti-Roman activist who spends his life being mistaken for a prophet are planning a 25th anniversary re-release next month.

"So what have the Romans done for us?"
In no time at all this comment thread might include the entire script.

All those being crucified, singing "... the bright side of life ..."

My 17-year-old nephew and his friends LOVE this movie. He was very excited when he got the DVD a couple of years ago and assumed that his square old uncle had never heard of it. As if! @#%!&
