- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- The Princess Bride is one of our parents favorite movies of all-time, so much so that all they did was talk about it a bunch when we were kids; we totally thought we saw it. But, right off the bat we literally had no idea what was actually going on; we were bamboozled!

The scene of Prince Humperdinck on the balcony always reminds me of Lord Farquaad: "Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make."
As I recall, that is who they based Farquaad on!
@trevellyann you're correct.
Pretty sure Shrek in general is basically fanfic of the Princess Bride but if Andre the Giant was the main character…
@@trevellyann That's why Farquaad is wearing the same outfit.
correction, Lord Farquad gives off a Prince Humperdinck vibe.
"Get used to disappointment" is one of the most underrated badass action lines.
True
@@OctoKrool I also recall The scene in the first Twilight movie where Bella questions Edward on how he managed to stop the van from crushing her with his bare hands. She didn't know he was a vampire but she knew he was some kind of superhuman. And she wouldn't stop trying to make him be honest and tell her the truth. And he asked Bella, "Your not going to let this go are you?"
And Bella answers, "No".
And Edward replies back, "Well then, I Hope you enjoy being disappointed." And then he just walks away.
It's a good thing they had a eternal soulmate bond that brought them together forever because he was a bit of a jerk in the beginning as he was trying to protect his secret. But he and Wesley pulled off saying something like that very well.
That was one of my favorite exchanges between the two of them. This movie is filled with quotable one-liners.
@@Ashley-tw6howay to wreck it by quoting that piece of shit movie series.
@@jasong.5165 According to most sources, the five Twilight movies together made over $3.6 billion worldwide, with "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" generally considered the highest-grossing film in the series.
Well, I have remained a devoted and loyal fan of Twilight all these years even before the movies. The books were better than the movies. I think the Twilight and Eclipse novels had some of the best dialogue between Edward and Bella and also the other characters as well that never made it into the film. Thanks to Twilight, ALOT of kids, teens and young adults and even fans in their 40s and on up were reading again thanks to Twilight. So I think a lot of positive things came out of Twilight to encourage people to read more in general. I think it sparked a lot of people to read more. I heard several teachers being thankful for books like Twilight that encouraged their kids to pick up a book and read more.
But since your a hater, I guess this means you don't plan to watch the new Twilight tv show when it comes out around 2026. When they bring our beloved characters back to life, I guess that will be a very miserable time for you. Because the long devoted Twi-hearts have never forgotten and have continued to love these characters for many years now.
But it's ok if your not a fan. But you can't ignore how huge Twilight was. I mean, fans camped out for days and days for these movies. I have never before witnessed such a huge fanbase before for any other movie consistently after each new movie came out. It just got bigger and bigger. Only Star Wars trilogy fans and Harry Potter fans I ran into and had to fight through the crowds shockee me as much as a Twilight fans did. And I'm a huge Star Wars fan. But I feel like Twilight got even more insane with its large fan base and it wasn't just the teenagers, Older women were also obsessed with the movie. It was a great time I do recall. ALOT of us even had Twilight parties back in the day that was a pretty big hit.
Overall, I remember a lot of wonderful things from those days. If you bumped into a fellow Twilight fan, It's like you just clicked became instant friends for life. Twilight brought alot of people together.
There was a lot of love and friendship for the movie and it's cast as well as the fans who befriended one another. So I will always look back during that time with fond memories. And I cannot wait for them to bring our beloved characters back in the TV show.
But they are also going to make a TV show for Harry Potter so if you're into that you could check that out instead. I hope you have a blessed day.
“Who is this guy!?”
Lieutenant Columbo. Certified badass.
Exactly!! How can they not know Columbo???
That is what I said! Colombo is still awesome to watch.
"Oh, uh, by the way..."
@jonathanhallberg3009 oh no, don't tell me there's... "just one more thing"!! 😆
Always patting down his pockets to make sure he has everything. ❤
Mandy Patankin (Inigo Montoya) recently lost his father to cancer when filming this movie. During the final duel with Count Rugen (6 Fingers), he visualized Rugen as the cancer that took his father. That's why there's so much emphasis in Inigo's 'I want my father back, you S.O.B.'
My father died from cancer back in 2009, and I tear up every time I see that sense.
I came here to comment this ❤
@@matthewhumphrey3298 Lost my father last year, and the worst part about that scene is that you feel the same way but there's no one to take revenge against.
So he recently lost his father while filming this 35+ years ago? 😂
@@bobbymariani2839learn to read.
Fun fact, Cary Elwis was offered the the role in Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves. But he turned it down to play Wesley. But then he accepted his role in Men In Tights. He rosted Kevin Costner when he said "unlike some other Robin Hoods I can speak with an English accent".
Partially true; he was offered the role but he wasn’t crazy about the script. The Princess Bride was released 4 years before Prince of Thieves so the two aren’t related.
@tylerdude1982 oh ok 👍
It took me until I was an adult to realize he was in Ella Enchanted; to be fair, he wasn't blond in that one. A good, old fashioned, goofy, monologuing villain.
He was also offered the role and chosen for Robin Hood in Men in Tights because he was Wesley in this movie.
The actor Mandy Patinkin who played Inigo Montoya said in an interview that he had lost his own father to cancer a year before. So when it came time to film the revenge scene he imagined it was the cancer he was killing. Powerful stuff.
Also, this movie hits for every age group and background. It's a timeless film.
That goes hard.
@@OctoKrool Knowing that fact, rewatching it and seeing that look on his face, when he says, "I want my Father back, you son of a bitch", is haunting. That was pure cold hatred on his face.
Inigo Montoya dedicated his life to revenge, but it was over. Wesley insinuates that he'll pass the Dread Pirate Roberts persona over to Inigo.
The Dread Pirate Roberts' ship is called "Revenge," meaning Inigo's life would still be driven by Revenge.
He *WOULD BE DRIVING* his Revenge :)
OMG I never realized that before!
@Starbeam1979 This is one of my favorite movies, and yet I only recently realized it.
I've seen this movie many times and I am amazed.
So now there will be a lot of money in Revenge 😂
In an interview, Robin Wright said Andre the Giant was so large he just put his hand on her head when she was cold and it warmed her.
A shout out to two titans of British Comedy who rarely get a mention.
Mel Smith, who played the Albino and the legendary Peter Cooke, who played the Bishop.
Correct most also don't mention Peter Falk or Fred Savage the grandfather and grandson
I love the actual character name: the Impressive Clergyman
@@ScottSundtmy favorite character name is Boo Woman
@@ScottSundt impwessive
@@jim1771 Valentine’s Day around 1999, I had a FIRST DATE at a nice LA restaurant. Fred Savage was at a table nearby, and he was SO LOUD and obnoxious the date was almost (😉) ruined.
William Goldman, who wrote the screenplay based on his own novel, is one of the greatest script doctors in the history of Hollywood. He got called in on countless films to punch up the dialogue and fix the plot. His sense of timing is impeccable, and sense of humor sharp and colorful. This is the purest distillation of his talent, I think. Just amazing work.
My writing role model. His books on his experiences being a scribe in Hollywood are priceless, including Adventures In The Screen Trade which includes his inspiration for writing the novel The Princess Bride, which Adventures was written 5 years before the film Princess Bride was finally made.
There was an interview with Cary Elwes where he told a funny story about working with Andre, in the middle of filimg a scene, Andre blew a LONG & LOUD fart (i think he said it lasted about 30 seconds), everything on set went silent for a bit, Director Rob Reiner says "You okay Andre?" To which Andre said "I am now boss." 😅
There was also an incident of Cary and Andre having some drinks at their hotel and Andre had like 20 beers, he had passed out on the floor, no one could move or wake him up so they had to just put that red velvet rope around him and had to wait for him to wake up.
@Adrianne519 he was having an off night. Andre was known to be a heavy drinker. Legend has it he once drank 119 bottles of beer in 6 hours.
It actually lead to another crazy Andre story, Vince McMahon paid for a surgery that was going to help with his back & knee problems, the Anesthesiologist had no idea how much gas to give him because they'd never done a surgery on a man his size, several experts were stumped too. Even he asked if Andre drinks, he admitted he did and then he asked how much would it take to get him drunk. He said "it usually takes 2 liters of Vodka to make me feel warm inside". Based on that they were able to calculate it.
@@marcpower4167I was about to say I think there's one missing in front of that 20 LOL
@@marcpower4167 oh I know, that’s just a crazy story. It’s just sad though because a lot of his drinking may have been due to his terrible back pain, it was really bad for him around this time. He wore a back brace the entire shoot.
The question is was he stating he was now alright to the boss, or after that gigantic fart was he declaring dominance and that he was now the boss?
“Bye-bye, boys. Have fun storming the castle.”
-the Miracle Max
“No, there is too much. Let me sum up.”
-Inigo Montoya
"Get back witch!" "I'm not a witch I'm your wife!"
This movie is timeless. It transcends every generation.
The grandpa saying "As you wish" at the end of the movie always brings a tear to my eye.
Andre the Giant loved making this movie so much, it was said he used to play it constantly in the background before his matches.
Whats so good about the last line of the grandpa saying "As you wish" he was also saying "I love you" to his grandson. Such incredible writing
When I was at University, the city I lived in had a "Midnight Movie NIght" every Thursday that about 150 college students would go to, drunk, high, and in high spirits. I suggested once that they show "The Princess Bride" and it was a huge success. Theatre sold out, 200 voices screaming "HELLO! My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, PREPARE TO DIE!" It was hilarious and a lot of fun. Hard to believe it was almost 25 years ago now. I feel old. LMAO
Alright, that sounds sooooo awesome!
I can quote this movie line by line. And it drives my family crazy.
Me too. My whole family loves this movie. Me and my sisters had it on VHS and we watched it several times a week for years
It can't drive my family crazy because they know all the lines as well ^_^
No more rhymes I mean it!
Inconceivable!
@@nancysorto4769 Anybody want a peanut?
Curtis, you're the first person I've ever heard give the ROUS a send off, "Good night, sweet rat." 😆
He might have been mean, but deep down he was a good rat.
@@OctoKrool and they were, after all, in the ROUS's fire swamp.
@@angelagraves865 exactly, they trespassed into his home and murdered him; truly sad.
I always felt kinda bad for that rat as Westley is stabbing him.
Fun fact - they had to delay the filming of that scene because the actor in the rat suit had to be bailed out of jail first.
Mandy Patinkin uttering the most memorable, satisfying, kickass line in movie history.
Columbo is the coolest grandpa ever! 🤟😎🤙
Yes I loved Peter Falk's acting in the 70's & 80's just as much as Jason Robards.
After Peter Falk passed away and the Academy Awards showed all of the people that year who died, they showed Peter at the vey last, and played that very moment when as says "As you wish" to his grandson, then faded out to commercial. It was a doubly powerful moment.
Needed him to finish the story and walk out to leave the grandson to rest, then step back in and say 'Just one more thing...'
You guys just got to experience the best sword fight in all of cinema (at least in the last 60 years). My favorite thing is the look on Mandy Patinkin's face after The Man In Black says "Get used to disappointment." Mandy's like "OK, good to know, let's continue the fight."
Buttercup is a flower, so it's like being named Lily or daisy, just more cutsey and flamboyant. The writer probably did this because everything in the story is kind of over the top and poking fun at things like fairy tales and hero stories.
Fun fact: In The Witcher series (both show and original Polish books), the main character's best friend (and character foil) is named Jaskier, which in Polish means "buttercup". Or rather, it's his stage/performer name. His real name is Julian Alfred Pankratz, Viscount of Lettenhove. But I digress... 😆
There are VERY few movies that can be considered perfect and this one is at or very near the top of that list. You can enjoy it at almost any age. You have romance, comedy, action, and drama so you have something for everybody to enjoy at any age.
I’ve introduced all of my kids, and grandkids to it. It’s my favorite movie of all time.
This is my wife's all time favorite movie. I had never seen it until we met. I understood right away why it is such a beloved movie. So damn funny, quotable, and very cute at it's core. Plus, as a wrestling fan, anything with Andre The Giant works for me.
EDIT: I TOTALLY forgot to add that at our wedding we had our officiant recite the speech the priest says in this movie 😂😂 we cut the accent of course!
They cut out the best lines of the movie. Vizzini: Inconceivable ! Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. 😏
The dialogue in this film is supreme. It’s endlessly quotable and quite a fun watch. Even on a rewatch, you will have a great time.
Don't know if anyone pointed it out yet but the scene where the six fingered man knocks out Wesley was legit. He accidently legitimately knocked him out and he ended up going to the hospital lol they left it in because of how good it looked
I think the only other injury in the making of this film (and I'm not making this up) was Mandy Patinkin hurting his side from trying to hold in his laughter during the Miracle Max scene.
@@RichardX1 Nope. Carey Elwes hurts himself on Andre's 4 wheeler. He sprains his ankle right before he's supposed to shoot the scene where he and Buttercup are on the hill reuniting before the fire swamp.
@@moonlit.michelle I stand corrected
@@RichardX1 i heard he full blown broke one of his ribs
@@RichardX1 I just read Cary Elwes' book earlier this year about the making of the film. It was so interesting and funny. Highly recommend the audio version.
I loved this movie as a 20-year-old in 1987. As a 57-year-old grandfather, I absolutely adore it.👍
The guy who plays Vizzini is Wallace Shawn. He is still alive and working in voice roles. Probably his most critically acclaimed movie was Dinner with Andre. That movie just had two actors sit at a dinner table talking about existential dread for 2 hours. I always suspected the wine scene with Wesley was an in joke referencing his earlier movie, which was very well known at the time.
He's a phenom on many levels! Making the movie stressed him out, he didn't think he was good enough (per Elwes' book) in the role, he was afraid of heights, and of course can you imagine anyone else in the role???😮😅
Your reaction to Peter Cook as The Impressive Clergyman was just perfect! I have heard of so many weddings where the officiant replicated both the speech and the speech impediment, and/or the announcement board outside the church would say, “Mawwaige is what bwings us togethuh today…”
The coolest part about the discussion between Montoya and the Man in Black is Montoya Hands him his blade to show him the quality of his father’s work. He recognizes his opponent is honorable enough to hand it back. And he does.
I showed this to my choir kids during exams (they had already taken their exam for me). They were enthralled. During the shrieking eel scene, when it cut back to the grandpa, one of my tenors blurted out, "OH MY GOD, I forgot we was reading a BOOK!" They begged me to let them stay and finish it during lunch. This movie has power that spans generations.
My favorite line in the whole movie “Have fun storming the castle!” Billy Crystal ad-libbed most of his lines.
My wife and I often say that to each other when going off to work in the morning.
When Inigo says "I want my father back, you son of a bitch", the conviction in his delivery was real. The actor, Mandy Patinkin, lost his own father to cancer not long before filming this. That fueled his acting in the scene, I'm sure.
I love too how the pirate ship is named Revenge. So he's still in the revenge business.
I'd like to thank Curtis for consistently showing my mother a lovely time. She's a wonderful woman and deserves to be happy.
The little bald guy, Vizzini, was played by Wallace Shawn, who's not only a really good actor, he's also an excellent playwright. (As an actor, see him in "My Dinner with Andre". A unique movie. Fascinating and really worthwhile.)
Inigo getting his vengeance is one of the most satisfying moments in cinema. Oh man I get chills every time I hear “I want my father back you son of a bitch”
I've seen this film over a hundred times, and every time Peter Faulk says "as you wish", it gets me. It's right up there with Costner in Field of Dreams saying "hey dad, you wanna have a catch?"
😭
"See?! Didnt I tell you she'd never marry that rotten Humperdinck?!"
"Yes. You're very smart. Shaddup."
😂
I'm on the Brute Squad.
You are the Brute Squad!

Andre the Giant was so proud of this movie that he would request a VCR to be put in his hotel rooms so he could watch it and show it to other people.
This is a perfect film in my opinion. The quotable lines. The wholesome story. Great cast.
I went and watched this with a live orchestra recently, such a good movie with a lot of iconic quotes
Colorado symphony? That performance was great.
That sounds like a hell of an experience.
It was in Perth, with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra
"Life is pain, highness! Anyone who says differently is selling something."
Definitely no truer words spoken!
Everyone in the 90s: "Have you considered piracy?"
Your reaction was great! I read Cary Elwes' book, "As You Wish," and I think he would like everything you appreciated about the film. Especially your praise about the big fencing scene and their dialogue. About that scene, Cary and Mandy had to practice so hard for it because it was meant to be "the greatest duel in history" or something like that. In between scenes their trainer would call them over to practice all the time. One cool thing that I didn't know, but learned from the book, was that in true fencing the non-sword hand is relaxed so they worked on perfecting even those details. Now when I see fencing in other movies I'm like, "Oh. Their non-sword hands are tensed, it's ruined for me." Lol!
"my name is inigo montoya, you killed my father, prepare to DIE"
YAAAAY FOR THE BEST MOVIE EVER REVIEWED ON UA-cam...WITH A CINNAMAROLL HAAAT
“I want my father back” is such a good line and as many have commented, the actors delivery was personal. I also love the insult of “to the pain” and “I have been in the revenge business for so long, I don’t know what to do with the rest of my life”
Fun fact: Cary Elwes had to be replaced with a dummy and Rob Reiner had to leave the room during the Miracle Max scene, because neither of them could stop laughing. And Mandy Patinkin bruised a rib by holding in his laughter during the same scene.
This and The Crow (1994, not the piss-poor remake) are two of my all-time favourite movies.
What's crazier than Andre the giant carrying three people is Hulk Holgan lifting Andre over his head.
The Violence in Wrestling may be fake but those dudes are strong.
Rip Andre Roussimoff the giant. A big man with an even bigger heart.
what I love about the movie is...I was literally that kid, "Mom I don't want to see a girls movie." went to seee it anyway and one of my all time favorites.
This cast is perfect. The talent behind the scenes is perfect. And Cary Elwes wrote a beautiful, funny memoir about it called As You Wish.
You know those name tag stickers that say, "Hello. My name is _________"? For years after this film came out, every time I went to a conference, what you would constantly see squeezed onto that blank line was, "Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
When the grandfather (Peter Falk) says, "As you wish", what he really meant was, "I love you."
I've got a sticker on my water bottle with that on it lol
I've got a t-shirt with that hello sticker silk screened onto it. 😂
The Pirate ship "Revenge". ... If Inigo takes over as Roberts he will still be in the Revenge business 😉
I read a few days ago of a way in which, had he really been the smart man he said he was, Vizzini could have won the contest... the man in black said "you choose, then we drink."
Vizzini could have drunk FROM THE BOTTLE. The glasses were poisoned, the bottle was not.
You cut out the line, “never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line,” and “you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” ?!? Inconceivable!!
21:45 Her sisters Blossom and Bubbles were already married to Prince Valium and Lord Farquaad, I think that's why you find the name weird, they usually come as a trio.
You'd recognize Wallace Shawn (Vizzini) by his voice in The Incredibles. He played Bob Parr's ankle biter boss and gets thrown through several walls for his Napoléon Complex power trip.
This movie only gets better after watching it more times. The music score and how it syncs with the action, the dialogue and subtle jokes, they all just get more and more crazy good. I’m 56 and this is my absolute #1 movie of all time. And now that you’ve seen it, you’ll be amazed at how many people quote it on a daily basis.
The absolute STAR power in this movie is unreal! Wallace Shawn (TRex from Toy Story), Christopher Sarandon (Jack Skellington), Carey Elwes (Too many to list), Robin Wright Penn, Andre The Giant, Mandy Patankin (Criminal Minds), Billy Crystal, a young Fred Savage (The Wonder Years), The Legendary Peter Falk (Columbo) as the grandfather. I mean you can't fit more and then they did with Christopher Guest (Night at the Museum 2, This is Spinal Tap, Small Soldiers). I mean holy jeez! Such a GREAT ICONIC Movie!
Fortunately, Wallace Shawn has been with us for far longer than Vizzini was. He’ll be 81 this November.
Vizzini's intellect borders on the clairvoyant.
When given all the information, he can *conceive* of every outcome and choose the best one.
Wesley is a complete X factor. Vizzini knows nothing about him.
So everything that Wesley is going to do is completely... *INCONCEIVABLE.*
Fun fact: Andre the Giant was so big that they wouldn't conscript him into the French Army because they couldn't find shoes big enough for him.
3:19 the grandpa used to play “Columbo” on tv. He was a goofy, yet incredibly talented cop who solved crimes. Definitely worth a watch.
The role of Fezzik *was* perfect for Andre. There's a reason for that, the role was written specifically with Andre in mind (although Goldman didn't think they'd be able to get him when he wrote the screenplay).
That last “as you wish” makes it so clear that the real love story here is the grandfather and his grandson.
This is probably the best movie ever made. It’s perfect.
Phrasing
Andre famously said that filming this movie was the best time of his life because everyone treated him like a fellow actor and not a freak.
The six fingered man is also Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap “this amp goes to eleven” fame.
He’s also Jamie Lee Curtis’s husband.
"He's too cool! Stop him!" I don't know when, but I'm definitely using that phrase in the future XD
There are so many good BTS tidbits about this movie but my favorite one is this -- Mandy (Inigo) and Cary (Wesley) got so good and fast at the choreo in their duel scene that the choreographer had to add in an additional minute of swordplay onto their routine.
Also, Cary had broken a couple of toes during filming (I believe it was off set), so he and Mandy would practice with Cary sitting in a chair, and they still got that good. The limping Wesley is doing in the fire swamp scenes is real (because of the broken toes).
The editing is perfect. Just an all around great movie/story/cast!
-Darth Vader: "No disintegrations"
-Bobba Fett: "As you wish".
That day, Vader found in awe that when Bobba was saying "As you wish", what he meant was "I love you"
-Vader: "Bounty hunter... Fetch me that pot... please"
The fact that Bob Anderson was sword master on OG Star Wars and he did Vader's swordfights for Empire and Jedi. He was also sword master on LOTR, Pirates of the Carribean and Princess Bride... which means that Vader taught Inigo, Aragorn and Capt. Jack Sparrow how to sword fight
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Is this a kissing book?
And Fett was almost killed by a “pirate” as well. Lando’s words, not mine.
The Princess Bride is one of the best films of 1987!
One of the best movies EVER.
You spelled "ALL TIME" incorrectly.
'87 and all time. '87 is honestly my favorite yr in film. Princess bride, fatal attraction, beverly hills cop 2, good morning vietnam, moonstruck, the untouchables, lethal weapon, predator, robocop, nightmare on elm street 3, evil dead 2, full metal jacket, river's edge, Harry and the hendersons, spaceballs, the lost boys, and many more. STACKED.
I wish a lot more people had recognized that fact _in_ 1987. This movie should not have been a box office failure. I’m just glad that it has gotten its due since then, and became widely adored.
I grew up with this movie. My family still quotes it constantly. "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
I'm so glad you got to see this! Great reaction -- you immediately understood the appeal of this movie and how amazing all the parts of it are. I wish we had more swashbucklers where the opponents had honor in their dealings with each other.
Jill Bearup has a great video about Inigo and Wesley's fencing, going through it from the perspective of someone who practices stage fighting.
We probably watched this at least once a year all through school. When it was a half day or the teacher was just not feeling it, wheel in the tv and put on Princess Bride. Everyone loved it. I have a lot of nostalgia remembering chill days, with half the lights turned off, doodling and listening to the class yell "inconceivable!" together.
The word masterpiece gets thrown around a lot but The Princess Bride is one of the few movies, I think, that lives up to the term. So few movies are able to stand the test of time as well as this one.
I contend that this movie has the highest approval rating of any movie ever made. I have never come across a single person who did not enjoy the movie.
"You seem a decent fellow, I hate to die" is such a powerful line. It is like Westley knew that Inigo was a good person who was only a victim of circumstance. He saw someone of good character forced into a situation where he basically had to play the villain and emphasized with him as he too was of similar fate.
Im sorry, MY FAVORITE REACTORS REACTING TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES?! You guys are awesome, love you guys!!!
Homeboy was amazing as a guest star on Psych (maybe one of the most underrated Sherlock Holmes type detective shows of all time!).
Love that you guys picked up on the symmetry of the wounds in the fight with the six fingered man.
"As you wish"
The second best final line of any movie ever.
What's the best? "Well, nobody's perfect"?
@@Blazingstoke "I hope."
@@Blazingstoke Good call, that's a classic. (from 'Some like it hot', for anyone interested but not recognising it.)
When you were listing off movies Cary Elwes was in, one movie that shocked me to see him in was Saw. Freaking Saw. And he’s great in that too.
I didn't see Monty Python until way later in life. However if you watch both, you can definitely see the inspiration. The just random odd comedy. Both are just perfect. Chef's kiss!
Vizzini is played by Wallace Shawn, he has been in a lot of movies but he is also the voice of the dinosaur in all the Toy Story movies.
It does have great dialog, and your UA-cam edit cuts out all of the funniest lines!!! I know this MUST have produced a lot more laughter from you guys than what was onscreen...
This has been considered 'the perfect film'. It has every element needed (adventure, romance, humor, etc.) And the timing/flow is perfect with no unnecessary fluff/fat to slow it down. And everything that was set up earlier is wrapped up by the end without being to obvious in the foreshadowing.
“Inconceivable!”… love knowing he is also the voice of REX the dinosaur from Toy Story 😂
Fred Savage would make the perfect grandfather to remake this movie. Kid is on the phone watching TikTok or whatever & he comes to read the book his grandfather read him!
I really want to see a remake where Fred Savage is playing the same character who reads the same book to his grandson, but since he is reading it the story is slightly different. Thats why the actors and the dialogue is different, its how he tells it.
Christopher Guest, the actor who played Count Rugen, was actually nervous and kind of intimidated because of how intense Mandy Patinkin was in that last duel. Earlier, when Count Rugen bonks Wesley in the head, they were having a hard time making it look good, so Cary Elwes told Guest to just go ahead and actually hit him with the hilt of the sword. Unfortunately, it actually knocked him out and he ended up with a concussion.
So much fun seeing and hearing you both laugh your butts off. Very glad you enjoyed Princess Bride.
Cary Elwes (Wesley) wrote a book about filming this movie. In it, he talks aboutAndre the Giant drinking during filming. According to Elwes, the famed wrestler preferred a concoction that consisted of 40 ounces of various liquors poured into a pitcher. Elwes said that Andre would drink several of these in a single sitting. "I’ve never tasted airplane fuel," Elwes said, "But I imagine it’s very close to what that must taste like. It’s very potent indeed, and I remember coughing a lot. But to him, it was like chugging water.” Elwes, Andre and their The Princess Bride co-star Mandy Patinkin drank together quite a bit and at the end of the shoot, Andre reportedly had a $40,000 bar tab at his hotel. Also, Elwes confirmed that the New York Police Department assigned a cop to follow Andre around when he was on a bender, lest he fall and crush a bar patron. Not that alcohol affected him much. In fact, according to Elwes, it didn’t affect him at all. "He didn’t flub a line or miss a day."
