The High Crusade (1994)
Good, if you haven't read the book
Lets just start by clearing the air a bit: I haven't read "The High Crusade" in book form, and I believe it helped towards the enjoyment of the film.
The humour used throughout the film was unique, to say the least, and the fact there is an English and an American version certainly perked up my ears. British humour is something I enjoy, and no American humour is the same.
Several key differences are such: **Possible spoilers** The aliens speak with beeps in the American version, with subtitles underneath; in the British version they have badly-dubbed, yet funny, Scottish accents, to the degree that you could swear Good Ol' Sean's in the film.
To skip all the blurb, it's a fun film to watch, especially after a couple of beers and a good night with your friends.
Rent it, only buy it if it's for a quid in the bargain bin (very likely).
8/10.
Madness.
