Simply put, this is one those films that you rent with a group of friends, and the *real* humor comes from watching the reactions on their faces. Was Ken Russell sane when he directed this? Ringo Starr as the pope (wearing cowboy boots), Rick Wakeman as an Aryan Frankenstein, flame-throwing pianos, nude women worshipping a glowing obelisk, voodoo dolls, penile pole-dancing, mock-Chaplin scenes...the list goes on and on....
