When Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) saw the movie for the first time, he was so moved that he started crying at the end. His wife was sitting next to him and she asked why he was crying. He told her that every actor dreams about being in a special timeless movie that will be loved in any era, but most never get the chance. Until he saw the completed movie, he hadn't realized that "The Princess Bride" was such a movie and he realized that he had played the role of a lifetime.
This was known as "The greatest Hollywood never made.".
For ten years the script circulated through the studios until Rob Reiner finally directed it.
You're gonna love this one!
After watching this for over 30 years, and thousands of times, one tidbit that I never put together until I started watching reaction videos and reading comments: the Revenge business ... and the pirate ship Revenge. If Inigo becomes the dread pirate Roberts he will still be in the Revenge business🤯
Holy crap, I didn't even think about that! I've seen this movie dozens of times, and that never occurred to me.
🧐 hmmm 🤔 interesting.
Andre the giant was the 1st WWE hall of Famer and had acromegaly which literally gave him his giant size
He was one of the gentlest people ever
He passed away from congestive heart failure in 1993 at only 46 years old
Forever an icon who will never be forgotten
Goldman asked his two young daughters what kind of story they would like him to write for them. One said a story about a Princess, the other wanted a story about a Bride. In high school in the 70s, we were assigned William Goldman's first novel, "The Temple of Gold" - it's a great read, with heart and loss. Other William Goldman screenplays that are worthy of watching: "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" - "Marathon Man" - "All the President's Men"... (It's also rumored that Goldman helped Ben Affleck and Matt Damon with their gem, "Good Will Hunting", another MUST watch.)
You surely know your actors... A few fun facts: Andre (RIP) had a back pain so severe, they had to use a replacement or wires for ANY lifting scenes he had. When Robin Wright was cold, Andre put his palm over her head to make her warm. Andre was not an actor, but still everyone loved him on set. While filming the fire swamp scene, the book author was present, but still ruined a take because he didn't realize that the dress was SUPPOSED to catch fire, and he screamed during the take. I'm sure there are many more, but for now that's all I could think of. Great reaction.
When I went to see this in the theatre, the Impressive Clergyman got the biggest laugh in the movie.
Love this movie. The first wedding I officiated was a pair of fencers, and had a ton of fencers in attendance, so of course, I had to start things off with "MAWWIAGE!"
8:43 Speaking of experienced mariners, I can't get over how Inigo casually coils the line around his hand xD This is a very good way to lose your hand while sailing a boat. Especially funny how in the book he's described as a halfway competent sailor
16:06 He was their friend and they collaborated a lot!
The thing to realise is that, we are seeing the story through the grandson's imagination and therefore it is not an adult viewpoint we are seeing. Hence the way everyone is portrayed, the way they speak/sound, their actions etc.. are from the grandson's understanding of what he is listening to. A top 20 movie as everything just gels together so well, it's delightful. There are no big explosions, no swearing, no car chases at all. No megastars either.
You mention Edmonton Expo and meeting Wallace Shawn. Fun fact we were the first fan convention he ever worked.
Carol Kane, the "witch" also had funny roles in Scrooged and the series The Unbreakable Kimmie Schmidt.
And don't forget Jumping Jack Flash.
Shes also in the Addams Family Values XD as Morticias mother
And the 70s tv show Taxi.
2:15 It's Peter Falk, not Matlock, but Columbo.
4:50 I think Lord Farquad in 'Shrek' owes some of his character and look to Prince Humperdinck.
20:13 I was told the 'rolling down the hill' scene was actually done by the same stunt performer twice, in the different costumes.
Mel Smith is a well-known British comedian, he did a comedy sketch show with Griff Rhys Jones called 'Alas, Smith and Jones' (a play on 'Alias Smith and Jones).
Chris Sarandon was Humperdinck, and he was married at one time to Susan, and she kept his last name. She played Janet in The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Also Thelma and Louise and Bull Durham and many other great movies.
fun fact Mark Knopfler lived in my home town of St Albans , he used to do free gigs at my local pub
I saw this in the theater either as a sneak peak or premier and they gave everyone who attended a 45 record of the Mark Knopfler theme song.
This movie is a masterpiece. It never gets old. And every actor in the movie was great. One of my all time favorite movies. Loved the reactions.

He's been gone for five years. He comes back and she's engaged and kidnapped. He needed to know how she truly felt. If she knew it was him, she may have told him what he wanted to hear🤷♀️ this way he got the truth from her
People are surprised she does not recognize him. But it’s been 5 years she would have forgotten some things like his voice.
10:28😆
There's actually a story that it was really cold when they were filming and at one point Andre used his hand as a hat for Robin to keep her head warm🥰
I think I remember hearing that somewhere! He really was a gentle giant.
@Renee G AND @Flix2Us: That was a true story of Robin Wright's, quoted by Cary Elwes in his excellent recalling-behind-the-scenes-stories book "As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride" ( published 2014. )
She was telling that story in one of the special features on the DVD. While telling it her voice cracked and her eyes welled up. She really did miss him. ❤
Peter Cook was actually a comedian before Monty Python and they mentioned him as an influence. I believe they also had him as a guest in at least one of their sketches at some point.
I went to go see this when it came out because I'd read the book a few months earlier - everyone involved deserves congratulatory recognition for the marvelous transition from page to screen. One of the best ever book-to-movie adaptations.
I love how buttercup just forgives her kidnappers 😂
Well, Vizzini dies; Fezzik, Westley, and Iñigo help rescue her; Humperdinck's fear has reduced him to a quivering puddle of protoplasm; and Count Rugen was slain. Nobody of import is left for Buttercup to forgive!
@@artbagley1406 you'd still think she'd be pretty wary jumping into he arms of the giant who choked her out 😂 but I get ur point
A friend of mine saw this in the theater and when they got to the cliffs of insanity, he realized he had read this book. Then it made him absolutely love this film
You may want to visit your local library and see if they own Cary Elwes' book, "As You Wish: Incredible Tales About the Making of The Princess Bride." Rob Reiner, the director, and all the actors had as much dedication to the book as they did to the movie AND to EACH OTHER. They all related how much fun they had while making this forever movie. Locations were in mid- to northern England. Off-screen shenanigans are revealed. Talk of cast reunions is included as well.
That sounds like a fun read!
Cary Elwes recorded it as an audio book as well. It's really good!
@@melthinksThere are several cast videos on UA-cam talking at book signings, fan clubs, and similar events. Seems none of the actors, the director, screenwriter, and others ever tire of talking about their "Princess Bride'" experiences!
There was also a composer by the name of Englebert Humperdinck (1854-1921) who’s mostly known for the opera _Hansel and Gretel_ and for being the stage namesake of singer Arnold Dorsey.
I saw this in the theater and loved it ever since.
A bit of trivia about Mandy Patinkin (Montoya). He had just lost his dad to cancer and he used this for his performance
When he said you killed my father and shoved in that sword it was Mandy the person getting revenge on the cancer that took his father
Yeah, I mention it in the video. It's a great, but tragic, bit of acting on his part.
@@Flix2Us Sorry I missed that.. I've heard the actor playing Rugen was legitimately scared in the scene
@@patricke2088 Understandable. You can really see the intensity Mandy Patinkin brings in that scene. Inigo is such a fantastic character because of his talent.
There was a movie made by the Mr.Show With Bob and David TV show called Run Ronnie Run. Patinkin has a hilarious scene in it. The whole movie is insane and great.
Last summer I got a email where they were playing this movie out doors with a live orchestra. It was very nice and a lot of people showed up and had a good time.
Christopher Guest was in Spinal Tap. That was Rob Reiners first movie that he directed. That is where Jamie Lee Curtis saw him, wanted to meet him and the rest is history. Sadly, he passed away in recent years
Christopher Guest is still very much alive, thankfully. He is also a member of the British nobility, being the 5th Baron Haden-Guest. This also means that Jamie Lee Curtis can be known as Lady Haden-Guest, if she so chooses!
"He did the Vulcan neck pinch." Actually, for shooting that scene on a cold February day in England, Andre between takes would put his hand (one) on Robin Wright's head to keep her warm. His single hand covered from the middle back of her head all the way over the top to her forehead.
Did you realize Inigo is Mandy Patinkin from Criminal Minds (Gideon). Fun fact! great reaction man. subscribed!
I have NEVER SEEN THIS. It was AMAZING. You two made this so much fun to watch and the tidbits here and there were great to hear.
Glad Mom caught Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits)
.. just a little tidbit about Andre the Giant (as the story goes): during filming, it was very cold Robin Wright says he would place his huge hand on the top of her head to help keep her warm :)
Have fun storming the castle!
It's interesting your mother noticed the Fire Swamp looking similar to The Lord of the Rings forest. It's a famous forest named Puzzlewood in England used to shoot forest scenes in many movies, though it wasn't used in LoTR as far as I'm aware.
That's so interesting!
New Zealand has it’s own creepy forrests.
Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarists and songwriters ever. Another great soundtrack of his is for the comedy called Local Hero.
Rob Reiner played Archie’s son in law in All in the Family. He’s directed many movies. His father was Carl Reiner who was also a comedic actor and director. In the 50s and 60s he wrote for the Dick Van Dyke show and Sid Cesar’s Show of Shows. He also worked with Mel Brooks early in his career and directed many movies throughout the 70s and 80s.
Another great Rob Reiner comedy with Christopher Guest is This is Spinal Tap. Definitely worth watching.
@4:38 I’ve been friends with Englebert Humperdink’s son for about 25 years. Real last name is Dorsey.
Lightning sand, not quicksand.
Great reaction to one of my favorite movies. Love that you recognized so many of the actors. Thanks for bringing us along!
You're welcome! We're so glad you enjoyed it.
Check out the video to Dire Straits' Money for Nothing to see state of the art CGI at the the time,
Great to see you guys!👍
I've been watching this movie since I was 8 years old when it came out. At this point I can see most of the actors as things other than this movie. However, to me, Cary Elwes will always be either Wesley or Robinhood🤷♀️ and I can not ever see Wallace Shawn as anything other than Vasini. No matter how many other roles I have seen him do great in, he will always be this character to me🤷♀️
Ever watched Star Trek: Deep Space 9? Wallace Shawn (Vizzini) played Zek, Grand Nagus [CEO equivalent] of the Ferengi Corporate Authority
DS9 is one of my favourite shows! Best version of Star Trek, best writing, and best exploration of races like the Ferengi and Klingons. Zek was always entertaining to watch!
Inconceivable XD (really, the same lol)
@@ronaldfinkelstein6335 he is a great actor. I have seen him in multiple TV shows and movies. Not to mention the voice acting he has done. Doesn't matter every time I hear that voice it is Vasini🤷♀️
If you’d like to see another fun film, I want to recommend Robin Hood from 1938 or thereabouts
Peter Cook was pretty contemporary with Monty Python, He formed a duo with Dudley Moore and together they were very, very funny. You can see them together in the original version of "Bedazzled".
Loved your edits🤣
The battle of wits is my favorite scene
I'm having a bad pain day so I'm watching "Matlida" (1996 - also incredible, same high quality & you should do a reaction/watch it), & "Princess Bride" reactions on UA-cam. I love this film so much - not just the ones you mentioned, but he also choreographed for the Errol Flynn-Basil Rathbone duels (I highly rec "Captain Blood" 1935 & the 1938 "Adventures of Robin Hood").
But you said 'He has a very punch-able face" and it immediately made me think of my favorite tv show of all time, which is the 2008 "Leverage" (Timothy Hutton, Gina Bellman - done by Dean Devlin). If you have never seen this show (5 seasons, 77 episodes) -- YOU GUYS NEED TO WATCH IT! It's so good: the quality, the characterization & continuity, the humor, the drama, everything... If you decided to watch it (even on your own, though I'll never not welcome episode reaction vids), I HIGHLY ADVISE you to get the dvds out from your library as they have the correct order of episodes, which unfortunately streaming sites don't (even Electric Now has them mixed up for seasons). Anyway, this was a great reaction!
The pop singer Engelbert Humperdinck was born Arnold George Dorsey; the original Engelbert Humperdinck (1864-1921) was a German opera composer, most famous for the opera "Hänsel und Gretel".
He was given the stage name of Engelbert Humperdinck by his management company; the company liked to rename their clients after famous individuals, real or fictious, from before the 20th century. Other clients included Tom Jones (born Thomas Jones Woodward) semi-named after the title character in a risqué novel published in 1749 and written by Henry Fielding, and Gilbert O'Sullivan (born Raymond Edward O'Sullivan) semi-named after the Victorian partnership of dramatist W S Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan (Gilbert & Sullivan are responsible for such precious operettas as "The Mikado", "HMS Pinafore", and "The Pirates of Penzance").
I really have always loved this movie... such an awesome movie... funny, adventure, true love ... what more could you need... dragons perhaps but ... otherwise awesome movie.
U guys should c the movie the mark of zorro with Tyrone power and Basil Rathbone there is a sword fight which is the #1 in movie making of all time
Both men were literally swordsmen in real life. Epic
The movie is from 1940
Love it. You guys should watch field of dreams if you haven’t.
44:32
Rumor is that the makeup was so good for Carole King and Billy Crystal that the other actors did not even know that that is who Miracle Max and his wife were. They were really big names at the time, and their participation in the movie was kept from the other actors at first
For 80s old age makeup, it's pretty fantastic.
Mark knophler from dire straits
"Grandfather" is Peter Falk.
You might like the Tarzan movies
"The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia" might be referring to the Viet Nam War.
It is not just Vietnam. If you just go through the history of Asia anyone from outside involved in a kind war there has never done well. The Persians, the greeks, Alexander the great. The British, the Spanish, the French. The list goes on. Even when fighting against eachother land wars are often times fruitless. Other types if warfare can work. Religious, economic, social, but land wars just don't. Honestly anywhere their is dense jungle is a bit of an issues. Lots of mountains also are and issues Asia has both in pretty good amounts.
Peter Falk.
Played Columbo.
That song has lyrics.
Andre the Giant had acromegaly...an excess production of growth hormone,
I thought you'd never seen this?!
The prince is Chris Sarandon, Susan Sarandon’s ex
Great reaction, but you Gotta stop saying the lines before they happen. Let her experience the movie.
Agreed. Happy to see another reaction to this gem, but it really is cringey after a while. I know how hard it is to resist pre-quoting this movie in particular, it just doesn’t make for a great reaction video IMO. I really honestly mean all of this as constructive critique, and I’ll be happy to see future reactions from these guys.
Pwincess bwuahacah
Andre the Giant's English wasn't very good. He had to learn his lines phonetically. Rob Reiner gave him a recording of himself doing the lines for Andre to learn.
Maybe Monty python next?
They couldn't make this movie today in 2022. Why? Because the movie is too White.
And you perpetuate the stereotype of a racist bigot. Run away and try not to be caught up in the Snowflake storm.
@@nobodyshome You hurt me.
