I would not be surprised if those faint smiles and smirks that Ian McKellen and Jane Seymour gave throughout this entire monologue were partially due to them trying not to laugh from Anthony Andrews' HILARIOUS performance. He was so brilliant for the role! 😆
The look on Chauvelin's face, when Margarite introduces Sir Percy as the man, who aided her brother. He can't believe what he is seeing (neither can she).
I've seen this movie many times, but somehow Sir Percy keeps fooling me into thinking that he is the last man on the planet who could be the Scarlet Pimpernel.
Okay, this was so funny, I don't even...😂 No wonder nobody suspects this fob of being the daring Scarlet Pimpernel! Seriously, Bruce Wayne could take a few lessons from Sir Percy!
@@warrenhailes7573 More like the other way around. Sir Percy was the first, followed by Don Diego, and then Bruce Wayne, but all three sure know how to act the role of the foppish dandy type when they need to be. 😁
I'm currently reading this book in my class, it's so nice!!! Currently on chapter 19 when Marguerite connects the dots and realizes that her stupid husband was the daring and adventurous Scarlet Pimpernel! We stan Percy :D
Its "odds fish".....One of those weird terms used in the 18th century by the aristocracy and high society. Like "Gadzooks!" and "Sink me!". I guess the current version is OMG!
@@beac9295 Don't worry. You have to see it again and again. When you've become as OBSessed as some of us are- you may end up thinking Re- runs are a very,great idea!!!!
I can't believe I never saw this version! Well, that's a MUST now! I've seen the 1934 version a few times and absolutely LOVED IT! I've been meaning to read the novel. This really is an awesome story.
OMG!! LMFAO!!! I had forgotten how Fing GENIUS THIS IS!!!! LMFAO!! Sir PERCY!!! IT is the one the ONLY PURE HEART SIR PERCIVAL!! OF THE ROUND TABLE!! SON OF GAWAIN!!! THE WAY YAN!!! THE WAY!!
I remember reading this story as part of a Reader's Digest Classics Collections. Great stuff. Wonder who influenced the creation of The Batman: this story from the Baroness or the legend of Dr. Syn? Seems they took a bit of both.
The original OG superhero. He can clown the chief agent and steal away his girl’s heart right from under his nose ( along with all those condemned victims ) all while concealing his identity in plain sight . Percy was a straight up Gangsta .
Sink me, if I'm not the luckiest man in Europe to know Jane Seymour! Odd's fish, if she isn't worth a revolution! She's one aristocratic lady to just die for, wot?
Ahhhhhh, YES!! Mine too!! I clipped a little bit more from that scene: ua-cam.com/video/3Xw4reR-E7M/v-deo.html Unfortunately, as Robert Mcall, of The Equalizer, said about Knights in Shining Armor: ua-cam.com/video/wiPrqsnV6UE/v-deo.html Few Knights are left. Sir Perciville Blakney, Baronnette, today, would be a Knight without a cause. Damsels no longer want to be rescued. Or so it seems.
I think I could make a case for this being objectively true. I think some people in the comment section either haven’t seen the original or have seen this or a later version first and therefore like it out of nostalgia
@victoriaodegaard1 Tbf, the same could be said for the LH version. I've seen both (and others) and vastly prefer this one. It carries more of the spirit of the book series in my opinion. Which, by the way, I'd read well before seeing any of the adaptations.
@@MartinGsl Everyone knows the story. I was looking for the BBC version with Martin Shaw and Richard Grant actually. What is wrong with this dude, and why does he talk like he swallowed an egg timer?
@@martineshamzin7535 The character was supposed to be ridiculous and over the top, though. It's obviously not to your taste, but I find it a great adaptation.
I'm dying the way he talks is just too much. "Sink mehhhhh!"
The look on Percy's face when he talks about Chauvelin's cuffs! "Sink me, I can hardly bring myself to look upon 'em!"
It could be Jim Carrey! This had to influence his dinner scene in Ace Ventura.
I have literally watched this movie my whole life, but it somehow is just as good on every play. You just gotta love Percy XD.
Same same same! Sink meh, but it must be habit forming!
*“MonSEWER”* 🤣
Oh yes!!!!😂😂🤣🤣💯
I my fav moment! Always has me cackling😂
Superb piece of character acting the voice has just the correct amount of sardonic tone. A favourite part of the film.
I would not be surprised if those faint smiles and smirks that Ian McKellen and Jane Seymour gave throughout this entire monologue were partially due to them trying not to laugh from Anthony Andrews' HILARIOUS performance. He was so brilliant for the role! 😆
Has anyone noticed whenever chauvelin sees him after this he messes with his cravat
Limp cravat...
Limp......limp........his ego....totally ....deflating......🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm a bit of a poet. and you, did not know it. lol
Freaking hysterical! I had to watch this for my daughter's AP European History class... lucky me.
The look on Chauvelin's face, when Margarite introduces Sir Percy as the man, who aided her brother. He can't believe what he is seeing (neither can she).
Love, love, LOVE it!!!! AA is the perfect Percy. And so ridiculously gorgeous too! An absolute gem.
my family and I have watched this movie every new years’ eve since I was a kid ❤ we can all quote it from memory 😅
I bet your family has a great time every year doing it!! I just love this movie and it's characters!!!? Percy kills me!!!😂😂🤣🤣
I've seen this movie many times, but somehow Sir Percy keeps fooling me into thinking that he is the last man on the planet who could be the Scarlet Pimpernel.
That means the actor did his job well
The vocal fry is strong with this one
I almost forgot to watch this today
Okay, this was so funny, I don't even...😂 No wonder nobody suspects this fob of being the daring Scarlet Pimpernel! Seriously, Bruce Wayne could take a few lessons from Sir Percy!
Well, where do you think Zorro and Batman are based from?
Bruce Wanye is Sir Percivals Teacher. I'm not kidding. Love to all.
The Scarlet Pimpernel is the 18th century Batman. All he's missing is the cowl.
I bet even Agent 007 is a scrub in comparison to Percy.
@@warrenhailes7573 More like the other way around. Sir Percy was the first, followed by Don Diego, and then Bruce Wayne, but all three sure know how to act the role of the foppish dandy type when they need to be. 😁
Percy continues to insult chauvelin's clothes throughout the movie
And the Sword fight!!! He verbally and literally wrecks havoc on his Nemesis!!!😂💯
the poet bit at the end, I heard that from this movie back when I was 12, and I've never forgotten it.
The what at the end is what does it for me. I love it
Who could have believed a fashion fool like this could been the elusive SCARLET PIMPERNEL?!?
Dear lord!! Chauvelin is....MAGNETO!!!! I never knew!!
And Gandalf.
Sink me,I like that catchphrase!
OMG! I LOVE Sir Percy! He is SOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!
You just MUST adore this film..sink mehh
His voice is killin meh 😂
This movie is freakin awesome, Anthony Andrews is an absolute hottie!
"The pleasure...I can assure you...is more mine... mon sewer."
I saw this movie just a couple of times on TV when I was a kid, and I´m still obsessed with it!
this is the best part of the movie!! I ASK YOU!
He did a scorching critic of the revolution too when he said: The tailors will rule and no one will make clothes
I'm currently reading this book in my class, it's so nice!!! Currently on chapter 19 when Marguerite connects the dots and realizes that her stupid husband was the daring and adventurous Scarlet Pimpernel! We stan Percy :D
12 years later i'm still loving you uploaded this
Always my favorite version of this story.
The Virgin Chauvelin vs the Chad Sir Percival Blakeney
Odds fist my dear fello, I'm peeing myself right now I love this scene.
Its "odds fish".....One of those weird terms used in the 18th century by the aristocracy and high society. Like "Gadzooks!" and "Sink me!". I guess the current version is OMG!
@@gmf121266 I know it is , fucking auto check😄
A young Gandalf : )
Can we appreciate for moment whoever wrote the dialogue? :)
That would be Baroness Orczy.
What a fashion freak,who would have suspected him being the most wanted man,the Scarlet Pimpernel
dont be spoiling it like that 😖

I can’t keep a straight face! XD
😆💯🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Luv’d this version of the story / movie!
I am reading the book I suspected that sir percy is the scarlet pimpernel
😂😂😂
Now I have to see this movie.
Have you seen it yet? lol
@@christinejanis6552 YES! I found it on my college library database. So good! 😅
Sir Percy, the bravest man in Britain (and in France, of course).
The flamboyant Percy
“Sink mehhhhhhh I can hardly bear to look upon it”
😂😂😂
I can't believe I never saw this version! Well, that's a MUST now! I've seen the 1934 version a few times and absolutely LOVED IT! I've been meaning to read the novel. This really is an awesome story.
Who disliked this???
Chauvelin of course cause he realized that he was being owned by Sir Percy!
Look you here sir.
I just love it when he says sink me lol
OMG!! LMFAO!!! I had forgotten how Fing GENIUS THIS IS!!!! LMFAO!! Sir PERCY!!! IT is the one the ONLY PURE HEART SIR PERCIVAL!! OF THE ROUND TABLE!! SON OF GAWAIN!!! THE WAY YAN!!! THE WAY!!
You've Got It!!!!😉👍💖💯🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Men needs to learn from this guy! Haha
Ahh sink meh
I ASK YOU!!!
He sounds like a creaky door.
Oh my!! This still "kills me"!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Imagine getting utterly roasted by a guy with this verbal Cadence.
I haven’t seen this since it first aired. My parents were lucky enough to see Jane & Ian in Amadeus on Broadway w/Tim Curry.
18th Century Roast...
Andrews, a consummate actor, in one of his best roles, excluding Brideshead!
GANDALF!
Such shoddy workmanship would not be tolerated in London for one tiny instant
I remember reading this story as part of a Reader's Digest Classics Collections. Great stuff.
Wonder who influenced the creation of The Batman: this story from the Baroness or the legend of Dr. Syn? Seems they took a bit of both.
"I ask you"
Till this day I don't know why they made us watch this during modern history classes in high school.
Vocal fry to the 99th degree!
Chauvelin, Sheriff of Nottingham, Landburger Gessler, Klaus Schwab - where would we be without them?
Oh,the absolute dreadfuls of society...... Where is Percy!!??? HELP!!!!
superb
Chauvelin is actually Gandalf.
My God.
Oddsfish!
He's such a nauseating bastard, I love him!
The original OG superhero. He can clown the chief agent and steal away his girl’s heart right from under his nose ( along with all those condemned victims ) all while concealing his identity in plain sight . Percy was a straight up Gangsta .
sink meh
Anthony Andrews seemed ideally suited for this role Sink Me!
“excuse me sir can i talk to your cravat”
Olenna Tyrell would like this guy. ^ ^
This is how the British used to talk with such grace and elegance, then the Americans happened!
I thought this was a scene from BlackAdder III. 😂
Anthony Andrews is a brilliant but beautiful actor.
Sink me, if I'm not the luckiest man in Europe to know Jane Seymour! Odd's fish, if she isn't worth a revolution! She's one aristocratic lady to just die for, wot?
Perfect,Sir!!!🥰💖
Ian!!!

So,let us women rescue the men back from this presuming,and ungrateful,vanquishing society!!!!
@@lorenheard2561 Knock yourself out, my love.
chauvelin is about to turn into gandalf the white
Ahhhhh, Ehhhhhh, Ihhhhhh, Ohhhhhh, Uhhhhhh.
Reminds me of hedonismbot from futurama
Courtesans and gentlefops, let us cavort like the Greeks of old! You know the ones I mean...
Chauvelin = Gandalf!! Ian McKellen.
Pwns?
Snuff
This cat's got nothin' on Leslie Howard
an English aristocrat at that time would have beén fluent in French.
can't do a good burn without doing bad French
Why? But then again you do not speak French right? Chauvelin as an educated man would have known that.
Gandalf?!
Maybe if he got rid of that yee yee ass haircut
Eh Leslie Howard is so much better as Sir Percy
I disagree.
No.
Non. Personne n'a de perruques dans ce film. L.H est frêle, pas très beau, et c'est beaucoup moins bien joué.

This is just so stupid, I don't even know why it was filmed. Even the actors are laughing at how bad the lines are.
Actually,what is stupid would be your criticism. The movie is actually really good. Tis you who have no taste. Much like those frenchie cuffs....
You obviously don't know the story.
