That was improvised. They took 3 days to film it because he kept making everyone laugh, to the point where they kicked people off set, including the actors in the scene Even caused an injury, a bruised rib from trying not to laugh
And it doesn't have a bunch of sjw bs slapping you in the face. Its just a good, family friendly movie you can watch with your kids and your grandparents
Fun Fact: The Miracle Max makeup took so long to put on that Billy Crystal wore it all day. And because he didn’t really feel right having the makeup on without doing the voice, he stayed in character throughout their meal breaks.
This also became the most expensive scene of the film because people kept cracking up at Billy Crystal's lines that they nearly ran out of film having to reshoot it.
The sad thing was that as big as the dude was, he could barely lift his own arms. He needed fake rocks for the rock throw scene. He had to eat a bazillion calories just to maintain his massive body, but he wasn't actually very strong
I saw Cary Elwes at the Boston Fan Expo last year. During his panel discussion he told a story about Andre on the first day of shooting. The scene was where they're spying on the castle right after Wesley is given the miracle cure. Andre the Giant let out a 16-second fart that brought the entire production to a standstill. During the shoot, which Elwes said lasted for about a month-and-a-half, the cast and crew grew very close. "I can't remember a day without laughter.
The summer of 1990 after I graduated high school I had the pleasure of being a group counselor at the camp I went to in Arcadia, Michigan for a week every summer where us counselors were in charge of groups of 8 junior high kids for a week. One night, they had a movie night and us counselors chose Princess Bride. I would say hardly any of the kids had seen it before but us counselors knew this beloved movie very well. We were in back trying our best NOT to say all the funny lines throughout the movie, but it was impossible. We would roar with laughter and had many of the kids laughing as well. Hopefully, most left camp that week with a newfound appreciation of this classic. I’ll never forget bonding with my fellow counselors that night though. Movies like this bring out the best in people, and I’m grateful to have seen it many times with others who appreciate it as much as I do.
@ivan jursdotter man you know the crazy thing is he could barely lift anything. Like those rocks were fake rocks, when he was a wrestler they had to have fake props for him to use because he could barely lift his own arms.
@@booqueefious2230 I think that was only when we got older and started having tons of back issues. Before that he was a hulk rivaling that of Wilt chamberlain. It’s crazy to see how strong these behemoths are
I actually get the feeling the reason why it took awhile was because the pill didn't reach full potency yet. Before Inigo and Fezzik gave Wesley the pill, Fezzik goes "Has it been fifteen minutes?" Inigo responds with, "We can't wait that long." (I think. I haven't seen the movie in over 5 years)
+FailenW59 Rob Reiner, knowing that he had Billy Crystal there, let him improvise quite a bit........because that's one of the things that Billy does best.........but the only person that Billy said was better than him, was the late, great ROBIN........
Pretty sure they gave him a rough outline of what to say, maybe just a couple lines he had to include bc it was important to the plot but I’m 99% sure that almost the whole thing was improvised and that was actually one of the criteria the actor asked for when taking the role!
Inigo: This is loyal,sir. His wife is...crippled. His children are on the brink of starvation. Miracle Max: Are you a rotten liar! Inigo: I need him to help avenge my father, murdered these twenty years. Miracle Max: Your first story was better.
I love Billy Crystal, He's one of my top favorite actors in movies of all time, But I also find him to be very funny as Miracle Max in the Princess Bride, too! I Remember he was also the voice of Mike Wazowski in monsters Inc. too as well!

They had all supply & thus all demand went to them: high price. If there are many “miracle men” and few needed miracles it would be a lower demand/more supply.

Miracle Max: Sonny, true Love is the greatest thing in the world, except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, when the mutton is nice and lean, and the tomato is ripe. They’re so perky. I love that. But that’s not what he said - he distinctly said “To blave,” and as we all know, “to blave” means to bluff, heh?

Valerie: I’m not a witch, I’m your wife, but after what you just said, I’m not even sure I want to be that anymore. Miracle Max: You never had it so good. Valerie: True love. He said true love, Max.

You promised me that you would never say that name! Valerie: What… Humperdinck? Miracle Max: Haah! Valerie: Humperdinck! Humperdinck! Humperdinck! Humperdinck! Humperdinck! Humperdinck! Miracle Max: I’m not listening. Valerie: True love lies expiring, and you don’t have the decency to say why you won’t help. Miracle Max: Nobody’s hearing nothing! Valerie: Humperdinck! Humperdinck! Inigo Montoya: This is Buttercup’s true love. If you heal him, he will stop Humperdinck’s wedding. Miracle Max: (To Valerie) Shut up! (Turns toward Inigo) Wait, wait. I make him better, Humperdinck suffers? Inigo Montoya: Humiliations galore. Miracle Max: Ha ha ha! That is a noble cause! Gimme the sixty-five. I’m on the job. Valerie: Woo-woo! (Time passes. Valerie covers a huge pill with chocolate.) Inigo Montoya: That’s a miracle pill? Valerie: The chocolate coating makes it go down easier, but you have to wait fifteen minutes for full potency, and he shouldn’t go in swimming after for at least- what? Miracle Max: An hour- Valerie: Yeah, an hour- Miracle Max: A good hour. Here. Inigo Montoya: (Leaves the hut) Thank you for everything. Miracle Max: Okay. Valerie: Bye-bye, boys!

@@MasterAnakinSkyWalker your right I just read he improvised 13th century period jokes, three days straight, 10 hours a day, never the same thing, never the same line twice. I can't imagine how that must of been for the whole crew lmao like a 10 hour comedy show 🤣🤣
Andre and Crystal were the best in this flick. do NOT get me wrong, i loved Wright's and Elwes' Performances along with Patkin and Guest but to me these two stood out more in this flick. For pure humor and relatable kindness, I love Andre but pure sarcastic humor? I loved Billy the most, he was just funny when he first appeared. Never get tired of his 1st rant at Inigo and Fezzik.
I love it when he lifts and drops the arm, then saying “I’ve seen worse.” That must mean he’s really good at his job and knows how to fix him. Which he does, still that line lets you know he’s a pro.
My daughter was born just before the ROU’s came on vhs after the 22 hours of labor, Yelled at 2 people My husband trying to sleep while I was going from 2-10 diameters I yelled at the anesthesia team showing up when JRDA was crowning Talk about the Ring of Fire!
When i was younger i thought it was a little unfunny and obnoxious but he did bring some refreshing lightness to the movie. I first understood comic relief from this scene
3:40 I love how even Valorie immediately stops arguing after what Indigo said about ruining Humperdinck’s plan. She knew how badly it affected her husband after he was fired. No wonder she taunted Max about true love, she wanted the man she fell for back who had passion for his craft to help others and this was the ticket!
Yesterday I was just thinking about Billy Crystal and the wife in this movie. You see lately my wife and I seem to be arguing over every little thing just like they did in this movie. It's funny to watch on TV the way the husband and wife went at it, insulting each other constantly and making everything into a mountain. But when you are actually experiencing it in your own life it is woefully painful. I just watched this scene again and the feelings I had about it is what I remembered. The arguing. But what I remembered does not actually align with the actual scene as they did not argue over every little thing but rather how being fired by the king's son affected the husband. Still, all in all, it's a wonderful and truly impressive interpretation of husbands and wives arguing instantly with one another.
I realize now who Miracle Max reminds of, both physically and in his mannerisms: Mel Brooks' "2,000 year old man" character! If you've ever seen the animated version of that sketch, I think maybe you can see where Billy Crystal might have gotten some inspiration for the character! 😁
I remember the actor who played Inigo said the only injury he ever sustained on set for this movie was a bruised rib from holding in his laugh in this scene

I read Director Rob Reiner laughed so how hard during this scene being filmed he had to leave the set while they were shooting any of it.
@Tigerman1138 Not just Reiner, the crew too were trying so hard not to laugh cause how outrageously hilarious Billy’s performance was.
Apparently it was because Billy Crystal improved every take that was different from the last so they could never get used to it.

Inigo Montoya: He’s dead. He can’t talk.
Miracle Max: Hoo hoo, look who knows so much, heh? Well, it just so happens that your friend here is only mostly dead. There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Please, open his mouth. (Starts pumping the bellows into Westley’s mouth) Now, mostly dead is slightly alive. Now, all dead… well, with all dead, there’s usually only one thing that you can do.
Inigo Montoya: What’s that?
Miracle Max: Go through his clothes and look for loose change. (Stops the bellows and shouts in Westley’s ear) Hey! Hello in there! Hey! What’s so important? What you got here that’s worth living for?
Westley: True…love…
Inigo Montoya: True love! You heard him? You could not ask for a more noble cause than that.
Miracle Max: Sonny, true Love is the greatest thing in the world, except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, when the mutton is nice and lean, and the tomato is ripe. They’re so perky. I love that. But that’s not what he said - he distinctly said “To blave,” and as we all know, “to blave” means to bluff, heh? So you were probably playing cards, and he cheated-
(Valerie, Miracle Max‘s wife appears and starts marching torwads Max.)
Valerie: Liar! Liar! Liar!
Miracle Max: Get back, witch!
Valerie: I’m not a witch, I’m your wife, but after what you just said, I’m not even sure I want to be that anymore.
Miracle Max: You never had it so good.
Valerie: True love. He said true love, Max. My God.
Miracle Max: Don’t say another word, Valerie.
Valerie: He’s afraid. Ever since Prince Humperdinck fired him, his confidence is shattered.
Miracle Max: Why’d you say that name? You promised me that you would never say that name!
Valerie: What… Humperdinck?
Miracle Max: Haah!
Valerie: Humperdinck! Humperdinck! Humperdinck! Humperdinck! Humperdinck! Humperdinck!
Miracle Max: I’m not listening.
Valerie: True love lies expiring, and you don’t have the decency to say why you won’t help.
Miracle Max: Nobody’s hearing nothing!
Valerie: Humperdinck! Humperdinck!
Inigo Montoya: This is Buttercup’s true love. If you heal him, he will stop Humperdinck’s wedding.
Miracle Max: (To Valerie) Shut up! (Turns toward Inigo) Wait, wait. I make him better, Humperdinck suffers?
Inigo Montoya: Humiliations galore.
Miracle Max: Ha ha ha! That is a noble cause! Gimme the sixty-five. I’m on the job.
Valerie: Woo-woo!
(Time passes. Valerie covers a huge pill with chocolate.)
Inigo Montoya: That’s a miracle pill?
Valerie: The chocolate coating makes it go down easier, but you have to wait fifteen minutes for full potency, and he shouldn’t go in swimming after for at least- what?
Miracle Max: An hour-
Valerie: Yeah, an hour-
Miracle Max: A good hour. Here.
Inigo Montoya: (Leaves the hut) Thank you for everything.
Miracle Max: Okay.
Valerie: Bye-bye, boys!
Miracle Max: Have fun storming the castle.
Valerie: Think it’ll work?
Miracle Max: It would take a miracle. (To the leaving Inigo and Fezzik) Bye-bye!
Valerie: Bye.
Have fun storming the castle 🏰!
Think It'll Work?
It will take a miracle
BUH-BYE!!!
'Shut up you witch im not a witch im your wive " classic.
"Have fun storming the castle!"
mandy patinkin bruised a rib from holding back laughter 😃 but I'd bet Billy had similar 🤣🤣 edited
No, it was actually Mandy Patinkin who bruised a rib.
@@MasterAnakinSkyWalker your right I just read he improvised 13th century period jokes, three days straight, 10 hours a day, never the same thing, never the same line twice. I can't imagine how that must of been for the whole crew lmao like a 10 hour comedy show 🤣🤣
Andre and Crystal were the best in this flick. do NOT get me wrong, i loved Wright's and Elwes' Performances along with Patkin and Guest but to me these two stood out more in this flick. For pure humor and relatable kindness, I love Andre but pure sarcastic humor? I loved Billy the most, he was just funny when he first appeared. Never get tired of his 1st rant at Inigo and Fezzik.
Love how Billy Crystal channelled Groucho Marx! 😂 The whole cast was awesome!
0:19
"We're CLOSED, goddammit you... BASTARD!"
“Have fun storming the castle!”
“You think it’ll work?”
“It would take a miracle.”
Don't go swimming for at least an hour.
A good hour
4:16 It would take a miracle
“Bye boys, bye. Have fun stormin the castle!”
I love this movie, especially this scene! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Andre the giant say"I'm on the brute squad."😂😂
I love it when he lifts and drops the arm, then saying “I’ve seen worse.” That must mean he’s really good at his job and knows how to fix him. Which he does, still that line lets you know he’s a pro.
Love this movie so much XD
My daughter was born just before the ROU’s came on vhs after the 22 hours of labor,
Yelled at 2 people
My husband trying to sleep while I was going from 2-10 diameters
I yelled at the anesthesia team showing up when JRDA was crowning
Talk about the Ring of Fire!
When i was younger i thought it was a little unfunny and obnoxious but he did bring some refreshing lightness to the movie. I first understood comic relief from this scene
Billy Crystal is a genius.
3:40 I love how even Valorie immediately stops arguing after what Indigo said about ruining Humperdinck’s plan.
She knew how badly it affected her husband after he was fired. No wonder she taunted Max about true love, she wanted the man she fell for back who had passion for his craft to help others and this was the ticket!
2:43 MLT, hahah! Very kosher, I love it!
Better with bacon though!
One of the best cameos in movie history!
The wife is Carol Kane. Last saw her in Taxj. VERY funny in an already fun series!
Miracle Max: "I've seen worse"
My hangover days
This movie is quoted the most by my Family & I
Loved the way the wife said 'Liar" in three different tones.
Best characters in entire movie miracle max and Valerie
LOVE THIS MLT OY!!
Yesterday I was just thinking about Billy Crystal and the wife in this movie. You see lately my wife and I seem to be arguing over every little thing just like they did in this movie. It's funny to watch on TV the way the husband and wife went at it, insulting each other constantly and making everything into a mountain. But when you are actually experiencing it in your own life it is woefully painful.
I just watched this scene again and the feelings I had about it is what I remembered. The arguing. But what I remembered does not actually align with the actual scene as they did not argue over every little thing but rather how being fired by the king's son affected the husband. Still, all in all, it's a wonderful and truly impressive interpretation of husbands and wives arguing instantly with one another.
*Picks up Wesley's arm and let's it drop.*
"... I've seen worse."
I'm the brute squad!!
I'm the Juggernaut, B!*¢#!
5 people took the miracle pill, but didn't wait an hour...a good hour... before going swimming
Rob told Billy to forget the script just ad lib and this is what we got!!
I realize now who Miracle Max reminds of, both physically and in his mannerisms:
Mel Brooks' "2,000 year old man" character! If you've ever seen the animated version of that sketch, I think maybe you can see where Billy Crystal might have gotten some inspiration for the character! 😁
To this day, one of the funniest 4.5 minutes in cinematic history.
I remember the actor who played Inigo said the only injury he ever sustained on set for this movie was a bruised rib from holding in his laugh in this scene
Best movie ever
Have fun storming the castle....lol
So sad that there was no sequel.... now its to late....
The J-Man doesn’t need one
Sandslashr You wouldn't have liked to see if Inigo became DPR or what became of Westley & Buttercup?
Good sequels are tough to find these days
Best part of the movie
Imma have to watch this movie again..
You should, it's REALLY good
Carol Kane makes this scene go to 11
Go through his clothes and look for loose change.
Did anyone keep the material from the cutting room floor from this part of the movie.
I fu*king love this movie..
They dont make 'em like this anymore.
"Humperdinck, Humperdinck, Humperdinck!!!".
Classic. Its a tale as old as time.
This is the best scene in the movie
