I like how Inigo handed his opponent his sword so he can check it out, and his opponent HANDED it back after complimenting it. Very nice gesture between two honorable men.
There was a time when such honor was Common - among MEN - Real Men, anyway. If you believe in yourself, and know you are capable you have no need to cheat. Today's weal, immoral "people" cannot imagine it and think it is a fantasy. To take advantage of anyone, even an enemy, when it was unnecessary, was dishonorable less than 100 years ago. (And yes, there have always been a few dishonorable men - and they usually got theirs, in return, especially if it became known. Montoya could have killed The Man in Black at any time as he helped him up the cliff - so it would only be natural to behave properly in the face of such a natural, honorable Man. Respect between two gentlemen. Chivalry, like morality, is rare today - but it still exists among superior Men.
@@michaela.ofthenorth4530 A man reaps what he sows. In the day you could have honourable debate with a foe knowing neither would pull a slight of hand trick. Today, you have to watch your back at every minute. Any notion of honour amoungst gentlemen these days is gone.
I remember watching this scene and asked my dad. "Why are they so nice to each other? Aren't they supposed to be enemies?" And he said to me. "No, they are opponents. But they are not enemies." "Oh."
That is not a threat, but a statement of logical outcomes. Hence it is effective. 'Threats' are usually empty, implied logical outcomes are usually something that can and will happen.
Whoever wrote this movie has to be an absolute genious. How do you write about every aspect of the human spirit with an underlying depth of personality, and humor. It's amazing to me.
The author of the novel also wrote the screenplay. His name was William Goldman. He also wrote Marathon Man, the screenplays for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Misery, and loads more. He will be missed.
I love how easily and comfortably Wesley and Inigo hit it off. Neither of them especially has anything against each other beyond simply happening to be at cross purposes to one another, and they develop a friendly rapport almost immediately through conversation.
Philip Pickard “Happening to be at cross purposes to one another” I see you’re quoting Moriarty from the Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows movie. You thought nobody would notice, didn’t you? But I did!
What I think I love most about these two is the upmost respect they have for one another. “You seem a decent fellow, I’d hate to kill you/I’d hate to die.” “Whether I am or not, you’ve been more than fair.”
@@MapMan365To be fair Abbé Faria only told Dantes where the money was if he promised not to use it to pursue revenge and instead lived out a peaceful life. So, strictly speaking, the money really WASN’T in revenge.
Mandy Patkin, the actor who played Inigo said that he imagined the Six Finger Man was the cancer who took his own father from him, so when he finally kills Count Rugen the line "I want my father back you son of a bitch!" really was from the heart.
I love the display of trust, actually handing over your weapon to the person your about to duel to the death, when they could easily turn the blade around and stab you with it.
Also the respect Westley shows to Inigo’s trust by not getting too comfortable handling the sword, but loosely holding and turning it in admiration the same way you might an old book before quickly returning it.
Inigo has one of if not the best revenge arcs in fiction, it wasn’t really defined by how much he hated the six fingered man but how much he loved his father. So instead of being bitter, brooding, and miserable, he was charismatic and had an undeniable joi de vivre.
J.A.C not sure about the rock theory, but Elwes DID legitimately break his toe after Andre the Giant successfully badgered him into taking a spin on his ATV.
The guy that played Oberyn Martell in Game of thrones would be a good fit. He basically did a inspired version of it in GOT. "YOU RAPED HER, YOU MURDERED HER! YOU KILLED HER CHILDREN!
inigo montoya will always be one of the greatest characters in film/book history, so honorable and noble and friendly and classy with no evil intentions whos just with the wrong crowd for some of the movie, wesley recognized that and his skill as a swordsman which is why he didn’t kill him
This was my wife’s favorite movie. I was skeptical the first time I watched it with her (really not my type of movie) but quickly realized why she loved it so much. While not my favorite movie I did find it to be a great movie and I watch it at least once a year on her birthday, along with her favorite holiday movie, A Christmas Story, in her memory.
Absolutely one of the greatest movie lines ever given to an actor. A great actor delivers it so well. You have to love these heroic characters. And God bless the late Andre Roussamoff.
Walks up to the mountain."Hello . My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my son .Prepare to die." Kills him and everyone else in the room. Claims the iron throne. Roll on snare drum. End of story.
Mandy Patinkin does a great job mimicking REAL Spanish accent. It's not perfect, but very close to a Spaniard speaking English. I'm from Spain and I was totally surprised when I first saw the movie in English, I had to look where was Mandy from because I thought he was from a Spanish speaking country.
In a later interview he explained how his delivery was so powerful because he was talking to a disease his family member got. Pretty strong stuff with unforgettable results.
My favorite line is “ there’s not much money in revenge “ kind of profound if you think about it. For me it means the lack of usefulness in holding grudges and being mad at the world. There’s nothing profitable in hate.
Jesus: ³⁸Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: ³⁹But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. ⁴³Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. ⁴⁴But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; ⁴⁵That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Matthew 5:38-39, 43-45 KJV bible.com/bible/1/mat.5.38-45.KJV
@@robertlombardo8437 Christianity is far from the first religion to say that holding grudges and vengeance is useless and wrong. ״לא תקום ולא תטור״ ויקרא פרק י״ט פסוק י״ח "you shall not take vengeance or bear any grudge" Leviticus 19, 18 that is a Jewish source that Existed long before Jesus and Christianity did, and i am sure that there are other religions even older then Judaism that said the very same thing about vengeance. (sorry for my English, it is not my first language)
I do love the mutual respect they show here. As a kid, you might think Inigo and Fezzik are "villains" at first, but as an adult you realize they're just two guys caught in a bad situation. And they get to be heroes in the end. :)
You get a little extra depth from the book (the one this movie was based off of, not the original), with a glimpse into how amazing Inigo and Wesley really were with the sword. The story goes that when he was able to wield a blade easier, Inigo studied tirelessly under many great masters of the sword, learning everything he could for years and years. When he thought he had learned everything he could, he returned to his original master and performed what he learned before him, imagining himself in a duel to the death with Count Rugen (The 6-fingered Man). His master watched without saying anything. After much time had passed, finally Inigo stopped, and waited to hear his master's thoughts. Many silent moments passed. Finally his master spoke "You know there is a level of swordsmanship beyond that of a Master? There was a man I once had the honor of seeing, his skills were at this next level, and he was known as the only Wizard of the blade in our time. His talent was such that you would only see every hundred years or so. If you were to fight this man today, you would not defeat him." Inigo was crestfallen. "--But...neither would he be able to defeat you." Inigo knew, with these words, that he was ready to seek out the target of his revenge, and so with thanks to his master, he left. Something like that. Inigo was a rare Wizard, and yet through desperation and love and sheer force of will Wesley had become even greater with the blade than he. I thought that was a nice touch.
Books are always better than movies, even when the author writes the screenplay! I think I would actually enjoy a movie that stays close to the original book, but probably most people wouldn’t, which is why it’s never done.
I love the mutual respect I have been in a similar situation before after hitting me to the ground he helped me back up and apologized for his cheap shot and let me rest until I felt ready to fight
I love this character. One of the most iconic heroes of our time. A person who will do anything to honor the person they loved. This character has faced many hardships but appears to be cool and collected is an admirable trait. He is one of my most loved characters of all time, and I always revisit this scene to remember to be just like him. Thank you Inigo Montoya.
I also love the fact that he showed the sword to his opponent. He is truly a great swordsman and a respectable adversary. There is not a lot of people who will do this and I truly admire his love of the craft.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I will havemy vengeance, in this life or the next.

this movie truly has everything. is there a better mix of drama/action/comedy? everything about this movie is as close to perfect as possible. I remember exactly where I was when I first watched this movie. nearly 30 years ago...early 90's. high school. in an 80's chevy conversion van. with the magic of television/vcr on the highway. I probably should've worked on my game with the ladies (several in the car). instead, I fell in this love with the beauty.
You don't see villains like this much anymore. Ones that are polite enough to let you rest a bit before challenging you to fight, and they sit and politely chat with you. Even heroes aren't usually as respectful as the hero in this movie.
in my heart Iñigo Montoya was the real hero in this film. EDIT: Iñigo´s story of revenge is very captivating, and everyone usually focus on it from this scene, but the greatness behind this interaction has nothing to do with that. his role in the film was that of a mere henchman, hired to stop our hero, but Iñigo´s human quality transcend the character´s very role, even before joining forces with the hero, and that made him a memorable character, by any standars especially in a film from so long ago.
I want to be the kind of guy who opens conversation by asking people if they have six fingers on one hand and use that to launch into an epic story of revenge.
This is a masterclass in letting an audience know characters. Comparing this to a lot of recent movies where you can reach the end and still feel like the main characters are empty placeholders to serve a function.
I love how Wesley sort of just accepts that Inigo might kill him, because it means that his quest will continue, even if Wesley’s will not. Almost like he realises that Inigo’s goal is just as noble as his own, perhaps even more.
When I watch this beautiful scene, I am struck by the apparent paradox of greatness. These Hollywood people can occasionally bring such beautiful works of art into existence, yet be so intellectually deficient in all other regards, not to mention morally reprehensible. Just like the Spaniard had his one area of greatness, I suppose.
I remember seeing this for the first time as if it happened yesterday. I was still a child, and I think it’s the first time I really understood what it meant to be called to duty. I’ve adored Mandy Patinkin ever since.
Man, this scene is so powerful in so many ways, so powerful I can just analyze all of its philosophy, authenticity, dignity and emotion. I could talk about it for hours, but this is a talk I'd rather have with someone face to face. Leaving a comment here with the description of all of these meanings within this scene, is just a waste and it doesn't honor the art of it. So I'll leave with this thought that I wrote, enough said.
This cuts off before one of the best pieces of swordplay in any movie. They transition from fighting each other, to testing each other to showing off and playing games.
This is one of my two most-favorite movies (along with Shawshank Redemption). "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die" is one of my favorite lines
This reminds me of my late father too, as a kid we would watch this together as a family and my dad ALWAYS laughed at the wedding scene when the pastor says "maaawidge"
I like how Inigo handed his opponent his sword so he can check it out, and his opponent HANDED it back after complimenting it. Very nice gesture between two honorable men.

This scene is very emotional for anyone who lost their father such as myself
Definitely one of the best movies ever made, excellent story and perfect cast!
Inigo montoya is probably one of the most interesting fictional characters of all time.
I'm a big burly man and i still love this movie my daughter looks at me strange everytime it comes on.
"I will go up to the six-fingered man and say...Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die".
I get chills everytime
when naivette, talent and creativity come together we have a gem such as this movie
in my heart Iñigo Montoya was the real hero in this film.
EDIT: Iñigo´s story of revenge is very captivating, and everyone usually focus on it from this scene, but the greatness behind this interaction has nothing to do with that. his role in the film was that of a mere henchman, hired to stop our hero, but Iñigo´s human quality transcend the character´s very role, even before joining forces with the hero, and that made him a memorable character, by any standars especially in a film from so long ago.
I want to be the kind of guy who opens conversation by asking people if they have six fingers on one hand and use that to launch into an epic story of revenge.
This is a masterclass in letting an audience know characters. Comparing this to a lot of recent movies where you can reach the end and still feel like the main characters are empty placeholders to serve a function.
Such a well written fella in such a small timeframe. Props to the writers!
I love how Wesley sort of just accepts that Inigo might kill him, because it means that his quest will continue, even if Wesley’s will not. Almost like he realises that Inigo’s goal is just as noble as his own, perhaps even more.
So much good acting in 2 min of dialogue
Iñigo Montoya is the best character in the film. Without him, the film would not work. The actor who plays him is perfectly cast.
This is why this movie is a jewel among movies
I remember watching this on Netflix when I was 8. I just saw the word PRINCESS and was like: yeah let's watch it.
"Wait, wait, wait... wait until you are ready."
Again, thank you.
When I watch this beautiful scene, I am struck by the apparent paradox of greatness. These Hollywood people can occasionally bring such beautiful works of art into existence, yet be so intellectually deficient in all other regards, not to mention morally reprehensible. Just like the Spaniard had his one area of greatness, I suppose.
No, you're just projecting your own deficiencies. Your cliched, crude stereotyping only points up your own intellectual and moral deficiencies.
@@scottmatheson3346
So you contend that Hollywood is a moral place...?
@@captainunload Trump lost. Sorry.
@@TheaterPup
I forgive you.
I mean, here is not really any such monolith as 'Hollywood'. Its of different kinds of people have produced films in Hollywood etc.
Proper greeting: share name, establish relations, maintain expectations. He followed it perfectly!
I remember seeing this for the first time as if it happened yesterday. I was still a child, and I think it’s the first time I really understood what it meant to be called to duty. I’ve adored Mandy Patinkin ever since.
One of the most perfectly cast movies of all time.
One of the best comedies of the 1980’s!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Man, this scene is so powerful in so many ways, so powerful I can just analyze all of its philosophy, authenticity, dignity and emotion. I could talk about it for hours, but this is a talk I'd rather have with someone face to face. Leaving a comment here with the description of all of these meanings within this scene, is just a waste and it doesn't honor the art of it.
So I'll leave with this thought that I wrote, enough said.
Moviestudio: We are thinking of remaking The Princess Bride
- So, you have chosen death
You should be kind to your friends, but kinder to your enemies. A friend can stab you in the back, whereas enemy is honest about his intentions.
The best movie of all time, and a marvelous scene!
Inigo should've gotten his own spin off movie about his journey trying to get revenge
Inigo Montoya, my favorite movie character of all time.
This cuts off before one of the best pieces of swordplay in any movie. They transition from fighting each other, to testing each other to showing off and playing games.
Most cold blooded line delivered before a revenge murder ever.
From such a brilliant film.
My name is Anakin, and I don't like sand. It's coarse, rough, irritating, and it gets everywhere..
My name is Obi Wan Kenobi. You were like a brother to me, Anakin. I loved you.

This is one of my two most-favorite movies (along with Shawshank Redemption).
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die" is one of my favorite lines
This movie is such a classic.
Still one of my top five favorite movies of all time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Princess Bride, Criminal Minds and Homeland will always be his best work.
Dead like me...
Mandy Mix Tape: "Hello. My name is Saul Berenson. You killed multiple innocent people. Prepare to die."
I really liked him in 'Yentl.' I didn't care for him in 'Dick Tracy' -- except for his singing voice; wonderful tenor.
This reminds me of my late father too, as a kid we would watch this together as a family and my dad ALWAYS laughed at the wedding scene when the pastor says "maaawidge"
That sportsmanship though!
My favourite film.
Unless the enemy has studied his Agrippa... which I have... 🗡
That moment when Wesley says “I’d hate to die” you know he has absolutely no intention of killing Inigo whatsoever
One of the best movies ever made..... made for every generation of kids.
I appreciate that after indigo handed his ⚔️ sword and he didn’t kill him there 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Obviously it's a fairly tale, a silly kids story but the honor both actors captured in these characters was very special.
Quite simply one of the greatest movie characters ever created
This is the kind of movie every family should watch together like i did as a kid.
0:25 when you have a pebble in your shoe.
Inigo Montoya a TRUE man of Honor
I love this movie!! Bought it so I can watch it anytime!
Best movie ever.
This movie is Immortalized.
I JUST REALIZED THAT THIS IS SAUL FROM HOMELAND!!! MIND... BLOWN!!! 😂😂😂
"There's not a lot of money in revenge"
Depends on how you do it.
