I only remember a scene from it…

An obviously senile king has set up a jousting competition between his own knights. The scene in question has him sitting in the stands as a knight cartwheels in slow motion through the air, as the king watches in childish delight…

That’s all i remember, but it has been bugging me… any help would be apreciated!

Any chance it was [Jabberwocky (1977)](http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0076221/).
