    Carey Elwes did get a concussion in this film, when Christopher Guest (Count Rugen) hit him in the head with his sword. He's really being knocked unconscious in that shot and had to be rushed to the hospital. I saw this movie after it first came out. I was seventeen and it still became my second favorite film ever. When Mandy Patinkin says, "I want my father back, you son of a bitch!" I fight tears every single time.

    The excellence of the main pair in the movie is, in a funny way, a tribute to step-parents. Robin Wright, though a California girl, had a British stepfather and so was able to do a flawless English accent. And Cary Elwes, though British, had an American stepfather and spent part of his youth in the US, and grew up liking and understanding American humor, so he could give the right undertones to his lines and action.

    Fun (kinda) fact:
    The actor who played Inigo lost his father to cancer during filming. During the final fight with the Count, he imagined he was fighting cancer itself. His intensity was real (as was the fear in the Count's eyes... the actor has stated he was genuinely afraid of being hurt because of Patinkin's intensity)... and his final line of "I want my father back" has so much extra weight because of that.

It doesn't take itself seriously, it is perfectly cast and the actors deliver their roles professionally.

    As a kid in the '90's, this was one of THE movies. I didn't even rent it all that often, but I didn't have to - it was everywhere. You go over to someone's house, they'd have this movie on. Parents get invited to a party; all the kids get shoved into a room with a film to keep them quiet; guess which movie would be on? Yep, this one. But no one ever got tired of it - I never once heard anyone gripe about watching 'Princess Bride' AGAIN, even though we'd all seen it a million times. I remember once, they showed it to us in school (well, one particular time; I probably saw it at least three times in school), and we were supposed to take notes on it to break down the story or something, but I got so into it that I forgot, and the teacher got mad at me. It's one of those very rare movies that the bloom never fades from, even if you can quote literally every line.

Had a tiny little red headed red bearded drunken Irish leprechaun fella freak out over my black american friend for being black. Did 6 sellout concerts. My favourite part was the meats and cheeses. So nice to have non-processed un-american food.

    This movie is for everyone boys and girls it is such a great movie. This movie is based on a book. The writer of the book also wrote the script of the movie . The scene with Westley and the six finger man when the six finger man hit him in the head was real and the actor who plays Wesley had to go to the hospital. here was real spark between the main actors in real life Westley and Buttercup that's why it works. Andre the giant used his big hands to protect Robin Wright (Buttercup ) head when she was cold on the set. You should also see Wilow, Lady Hawk, The Never Ending Story and The Labyrinth 1986. This is one of the movies with an epic soundtrack like Conan The Barbarian or Highlander which you should also see. one of my favorite quotes from this movie "“We are men of action, lies do not become us.”"

    Enjoyed your reaction, and since you asked: the book was published in '73, when I was 8. I found it and read it the summer of '80 (15). Still one of the funniest books I've ever read. When the movie came out, I was 22 & a young single working mother, so I didn't see it 'til it came out on video (& didn't think the movie could do the book justice, frankly). My son & I watched it when he was probably about 8 or so & it's still one of our favorites (he's 38 now). So here I am, 58, watching you enjoying a story that's s been around for most of my life. And I just became a grandmother, I hope I'm around long enough to watch it with my granddaughter! Subscribed.

    The duel between Wesley and Inigo is so perfect. It isn't a fight, its a conversation with swords. I've seen it criticized as too showy, but thats the point. Inigo wouldn’t have been satisfied just with winning, he would want his opponent to KNOW that they did their best and lost to a superior foe.

    A few things I like about the movie. You mentioned at the Cliffs of Insanity, it looked like painted setwork and miniatures. The whole movie has almost a play-like feel instead of a movie. Inigo and Westley's sword fight at the beginning. The honor they show. Inigo hands Westley the sword he was going to kill him with. Great show of faith and honor. It is implied that the Dread Pirate Roberts (Westley) leaves no prisoners. We have to assume he has killed dozens of people by this time, but doesn't kill anyone. Well, maybe technically Vizzini, but he killed himself by intentionally drinking from a potentially poisoned cup. Grandpas "As you wish" at the end of the movie. So sweet. This movie is so corny, but hilarious, and always worth a watch!

    Don't worry about quicksand. The way it is usually pictured was invented for the movies (where its usually just water with bits floating on it). There IS such a thing as quicksand, but you can't sink completely in it, only about up to your thighs. The problem with it is its usually in tidal bays and estuaries and it can be difficult to get out of. You can get stuck in it and then drown when the tide comes in. They say you should ideally lie down on the surface and crawl out.
