Life of Brian

Ultra rare card

Brian Cohen is an average young Jewish man, but through a series of ridiculous events, he gains a reputation as the Messiah. When he's not dodging his followers or being scolded by his shrill mother, the hapless Brian has to contend with the pompous Pontius Pilate and acronym-obsessed members of a separatist movement. Rife with Monty Python's signature absurdity, the tale finds Brian's life paralleling Biblical lore, albeit with many more laughs.

ATK comes from the number of votes the film has received on TMDb. It’s what sets the rarity. DEF comes from the audience rating, weighted so that a film with three votes can’t jump ahead. It doesn’t depend on rarity: a Common can excel at it.
