The discussion of the ending of _Monty Python and the Holy Grail_ over in [this thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movies-that-cop-out-in-the-end/1027099/31) reminded me of this – Arthur was _framed_! The knight who killed that historian earlier in the film was riding a horse. Arthur doesn’t have a horse! Nor do any of his knights. The police have the wrong guy!

I watched that movie so many times I pretty much had it memorized in high school. But I didn’t notice that until someone else pointed it out.
