The grandfather's "As you wish." was the perfect ending.
He usually says “Just one more thing...”
My favorite part
When Darth Vader said 'As you wish' to Grand Moff Tarkin what he really meant was I love you.
@@Jordan-Ramses Boba Fett said the same thing to Darth Vader.
When this was remade for Quibi, the last scene in it featured the original director Rob Reiner as the grandson and his own father, Carl as the grandfather. The final thing Carl ever filmed was saying “As you wish,” and he sadly died days later.
"I want my father back you son of a bitch!" If you listen close, the actor delivers this line with no accent. This is because Mandy had lost his father to cancer shortly before the movie, and he envisioned the fight with the 6 fingered man to be between him and the cancer that took his father. He was so emotional during the scene that when he gave the line, it was him verbalizing his own grief and anger inna sort of catharsis.
Bonus fact: Mandy stated that his favorite line from the movie is one he actually didn't remember saying. "I have been in the revenge business so long, that now that it's over, I do no know what to do with the rest of my life,"
Mandy did use his father for inspiration but his father died when he was 18
And bonus bonus fact: Remember the name of the Dread Pirate Roberts’ ship?
I can't watch that scene without tearing up
@@emurphy42 Ironically The Revenge which Inigo aptly achieved
Any line that has ever been said has been delivered with an accent!
"I'm excited to watch it. I hope I'm not walking into with too high of hopes..."
INCONCEIVABLE! No one can walk into The Princess Bride with too high of hopes!
My dad told me I should see this movie when it 1st appeared in theaters, but based on the title, there was no way a 15-yr old strapping young lad would watch a movie with such a title. So a week or so later, Dad asked me to run an errand with him, which typically involved a run to the local hardware store or something similar. I was not very happy when we instead found ourselves at the movie theater and Dad bought 2 tickets to this movie.
But after it was over, I told my best friend that he should see it. The stink-eye he gave me...... But he trusted me enough that we both went to see it. and the next day we went back with about 30 other friends (male and female both) in a big group he'd put together. I think he actually saw it in the theater something like 7 or 8 times over the next few weeks.
I can't tell you how many times I saw it on VHS at another friend's house over the next few years either. He and I both had it fully memorized by the time I graduated high school, though.
Good times!
Of all the things in this movie to love, one of the top five has to be how the movie sets itself up and knocks itself down within the first five minutes. I didn't watch it for the same reason; "'The Princess Bride'? Sounds like a chick-flick."
The moment that kid said, "... is this a kissing book?" I had to stop and completely re-evaluate the movie. That level of self-awareness, done so perfectly, is a jewel of storytelling, and it makes all the difference in the world. Being dubious, you project yourself onto the equally-dubious kid, and you get just as sucked in as he does.
... one of my personal favorites is watching RUclips reactors getting tense as the shrieking eel is charging Buttercup, knowing how brilliantly - brilliantly, I say; it is a spark of true genius - that tension is going to be resolved.
The book that this movie is based on was one that my class had been assigned back in high school (it was also the first book I'd been assigned that wasn't over a hundred years old). The bulk of the story is the same as the movie, except the framing story is different. Instead of this being a story read by a grandfather to his grandson, in the book it's a story that the author surrogate remembers his own father reading to him and he wants his own son to experience the same story. Except it turns out that the author surrogate's father had been reading him only "the good parts". So the author surrogate created the abridged version, while occasionally describing the stuff that he was leaving out. For example, there's three paragraphs describing how the original book spent fifty-six pages on the Florin queen and Guilder princess packing and unpacking their clothes... only for the wedding to be called off when it turns out that the Guilder princess was bald (Buttercup was the replacement bride)… and six paragraphs that replace the _entirety_ of chapter four wherein Buttercup is given the title "Princess of Hammersmith" (because Humperdinck can't marry a commoner) and trained on how to act like the most mind-numbingly brain-dead princess possible.
Since I had seen the movie first, at all times I imagined the actors. But when the book describes Fezzik's childhood, it's clear that the author (not the author surrogate) actually did have André the Giant in mind. That was the moment my mind was blown.
What a great memory. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Peter Falk's delivery of "As you wish" at the end gets me every time 😢
Yah, he was sort of overlooked in favor of the other actors, but he turned in a really fine performance as the Grandfather.
Same. Its right up there with "You bow to no one."
It's because when he says it, you know it means, "I love you"
There may be a very few sword fights that are more technically impressive, but this one has been voted the best cinematic swordfight in movies for decades.
Inconceivable!
Andre the Giant LOVED making this movie. He always felt like he was being looked at or marveled over, but on this set he was just one of the cast, treated as an equal, and a friend, right from the start.
He also would put his hand over Robin Wrights head when she was cold, as his hand could cover from her hairline to the base of her skull.
The best behind-the-scene story was that Mandy Patinkin projected all his anger at the cancer that took his father to the 6 fingered man. The scene where he kills him, is so intense because he was essentially killing cancer in his head.
To be fair, marveling over Andre is very understandable, not just because he was giant, but (by the accounts I know of) because he was generally a marvelous person.
Apparently Andre kept stumbling over his lines. So, after one failed take too many, Mandy walked over and slapped him in the face. Andre performed his role flawlessly afterwards.
My favorite bit is Mandy saying that the only serious injury that he got from this movie was trying not to bust a gut when Billy Crystal was ad-libbing his lines. He said his ribs felt like they were going to break from keeping it together.😂
A favorite anecdote I learned relatively recently was the film was already finished filming except for the grandpa and grandson scenes. Fred Savage the grandson really wanted to meet Andre the Giant. Andre obviously didn't have to but he did go and visited the set for a day and talked to Fred all day about wrestling and such. Fred said Andre would send him a Christmas card every year until he passed away and it was the card he most looked forward to receiving every Christmas.
Andre was such a gentle giant
"It's very easy to knock people out in this movie!"
When Count Rogen knocks out Westley at the fire swamp, Cary Elwes (Westley) told the actor playing Count Rogen to go for it and hit him hard. The hit actually knocked out Elwes and put him in hospital. And that's the take they used in the movie. So you're actually watching him get knocked unconscious.
Just came to the comments to see if anyone else mentioned this! So many fun facts about this movie. If anyone is interested, Cary Elwes wrote a behind-the-scenes book, titled _As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of the Princess Bride._ I highly recommend it!
@@jasonschuler6882 He also did an interview after the book that you can find on RUclips. I think it was at a film school. Some good stories!
@@wereant210 This screenplay and the first Back to the Future screenplay are taught in film school as "the perfect screenplay". Not a single wasted beat anywhere.
Christopher Guest.
@@jasonschuler6882 AMAZING Book
Regarding how easily the six-fingered man knocked out Wesley, what with that being a trope... That actually, physically knocked Carey Elwes out cold. He woke up to doctors assessing him. The funny part is, earlier in the shoot Elwes broke his foot messing around on a 4-wheeler. The doctor who set his foot was responsible for his intake during his head trauma. When Elwes woke up the doc reportedly said something along the lines of "you get into a lot of trouble, Zorro"
I don't understand her comments. Does she think it's terribly hard to know someone out?
@@wantutosigh1117 I would think it would be hard. Half the movies these days have HUGE fight scenes where they pound each other and don't get knocked out. Since we are not in the "knocking people out" business, we don't really have the experience to know. (Some movies, someone gets hit over the head and it just makes them angrier.)
@@wantutosigh1117 how many people have you knocked out?
@@wantutosigh1117 It's objectively not easy to knock someone out, unless they're particularly easy to knock out, which is not common. Many martial artists train for years to nail the precise targeting & level of force it requires to _usually_ achieve a knockout, & even then they're a bit helped by the fact that they're generally hitting people whose heads have been knocked around plenty of times.
Plenty of people in prisons for murder were hoping to knock someone out like in movies but found they just had to keep hitting because the person wouldn't stop screaming until death.
Knockouts don't work the way they do in movies & that's an objective medical fact.
@@ItsAsparageese It's a lot easier using the metal hilt of a sword and smashing someone's skull. Or perhaps a mythical giant hammerfisting a person on the top of their head. Your long post about mma or prison fights is unnecessary.
Where to start?
The lines in this movie are now cultural touchstones. I'm 52. My high school buddies and I STILL quote this movie liberally!
Where to end?
Peter Falk... As you wish.... Brings a tear EVERY time....
Honest Trailers may have summed it up best as "a satire of all those sappy swashbuckling medieval love stories that just happens to be the best sappy swashbuckling medieval love story ever made"
"Why don't you give me a nice paper cut, and pour lemon juice on it?"
Few lines ever reach this level of humour.
Billy Crystal was perfect in this, talk about GOATs.
"MLT, mutton lettuce and tomato sandwich" , "Have fun storming the castle!" are funnier to me.
@@jkhoover "You ARE the brute squad!"
"I've seen worse."
"He distinctly said 'To blave' as as we all know to blave means to bluff; so you're probably playing cards, and he cheated."
One of Hollywood’s perfect movies 😌🙏
A classic for all time.
it's one of those Classics that will stand the test of time
The behind-the-scenes stories of some of the more iconic scenes are as beautiful as the movie itself - like Mandy Patinkin channeling his anger at the cancer that killed his own father into the scene where Inigo fights Count Rugen, Andre loving his role as Fezzik because it was the first time in his working life that he wasn't looked at like some kinda of freak, Andre also making everyone he knew sit down to watch the movie and watching their faces excitedly while they watched the movie...then there's the stuff like everyone doing their own stunts as much as possible, even down to Mandy Patinkin and Cary Elwes performing the entire Inigo v Westley fencing scenes themselves.
It truly is just one of the greatest movies ever made.
12:28 One of the greatest lines in Cinematic History.
"Let's not start a war."
Weren't you listening? It's a prestigious line of work with a long and glorious history.
"My name is Ignio Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die."
"Stop saying that!" Lol!!
27:00 Addie - in case you're wondering how Inigo shrugs off the knife stab to the gut and the sword stabs in his arms at the end? There is a REASON for that given in the film! But you have to have a SHARP EYE to spot it!
Go back and watch - just after Miracle Max finishes the Miracle Pill and gives it to Inigo - he LICKS it out of curiosity. It was powerful enough to revive Westley - and just that one lick was enough to keep Inigo together during that last fight!!!
Mind - it didn't just make his wounds disappear - he DID get stabbed - he did lose blood. But - it gave him enough "juice" to get through - and presumably to heal enough that ultimately he'll be fine.
Also really they can just go back to miracle max And get into indigo fixed back up
Whoa. 😯
I'd prefer to credit good old human determination. He had a cause to fight for, whereas Count Rugen was self-centered.
@@reliantncc1864 I would not disagree with you at all. I certainly think sheer bloody minded determination was the greater part of him getting through that fight and thematically works just as well.
But for anyone looking for a *technical* excuse. It is there to be seen.
I thought he literally bit it in half so it would be easier to feed to Westley, effectively just prepping early for his near death. But it took me years to spot that moment and come to that conclusion! 😆
It is a perfect movie. And it looks like it wasn't just the kid who got invested! Great reaction!
When Count Rugan knocked Wesley out, the first few takes, with a prop sword, didn't look convincing, so they used a real sword, and wesley woke up in hospital.
it's definitely one of my favourite of all time...the amount of movies and TV series that lines from this have been used in...and I bought the book, it's amazing
I absolutely love this movie! When I was in college many years,ago, at one of our rallies, 2 students re-enacted the swordfight scene line for line, but juggling bowling pins instead using swords. The juggling and the comedy were impeccably pulled off
"Fun" fact, the sword master on this movie was Bob Anderson, a former Olympic fencer whose Hollywood career started with a couple of Errol Flynn movies in the 50's. You'll have seen him - though not his face - in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, because he was in Vader's suit for the fight sequences. He was sword master on several other films, including Highlander, The Mask of Zorro (one ot watch, if you haven't already; it's got Antonio Banderas, Catherine Zeta Jones and Antony Hopkins) and the LotR trilogy.
As a trained fencer, I love this movie! The duel between Wesley and Inigo (while more flourished and acrobatic, rather than realistic) is just so beautifully choreographed! And, I actually heard both Elwes and Patinkin had no previous sword training prior to doing this movie, yet both seem they were born with a rapier in their hands!
One thing about that duel is that, for once, a Hollywood swordfight has an excuse for all the Flynning about: They are both actively showing off and handicapping themselves. It's not enough for them to simply win, but they have to do it with style and they score metaphorical points by forcing the other to take the fight more seriously.
@@chakatfirepaw And they're just cutting loose and having fun with someone who approaches their skill, and this fight isn't really serious for either of them. It's only subtly alluded to in the case of the Man in Black, but the fact that he starts out the fight left-handed as well, after Inigo expressed his intent to do so and the reason why (it would be boring if I fought at full strength), we can surmise tMiB is doing the same thing for the same reason. Then the both realize their good enough to use their dominant hands and still get a challenge. And yes, Inigo was ordered to kill the Man in Black, but his heart's clearly not in it, and there's no malice to it. And when the Man in Black wins, because he has no reason to want Inigo dead, spares his life. It's really just two guys enjoying a spirited competition.
Inconceivable! Huge shout out to my 5th grade teacher for showing the class this. This movie opened my eyes to a whole new world of fantasy films
We always watched The Neverending Story and Charlotte's Web. I don't think we ever got to watch this.
@@jkhoover We got Charlotte's Web too! I still haven't seen The Neverending Story lol
Well I suppose, after this one, you have to see Willow. It's the same kind of silliness, adventure and romance with a little bit more sinister moments. Also, a TV show that follows the events of the movies starts in November on Disney+.
That show looks so good, too.
"Stupid rat dream!" 😁 Willow is such a good movie.
Your reaction is exactly what most of us felt and were hoping you would feel, also. It’s certainly in my top ten. Your summation of the movie in your post viewing comments is spot on. It does have everything. It’s such a quotable movie, too.
One of the most rewatchable, quotable movies ever. Guy or girl there's something for everyone. Andre the Giant, the big fella, was sadly having his health fail at this point and was 10+ years past his prime due to the disease that caused his gigantism. He had to be held up or propped up during certain scenes involving physical strain. Wally Shawn (though he's only in the movie a short time) is fantastic as Vizini and really shows how diverse his range is. True love, sword fighting, a beautiful girl, handsome men, etc. It's got everything.
😂 Addie " the Fire Swamp? That doesn't sound safe. " great reaction as always. 👍
Oh Addie, hearing you say that this is now one of your favorite movies of all time just warms my heart! 😊 This is absolutely one of my favorites too; such a wonderful, quirky, funny, heartwarming tale. By the way, I live for your jump scares! 😆 They bring me such happiness. Great reactions as always!!
That scene where they roll down the hill, there is a stunt man who wore both costumes and threw himself down there twice, he deserves all the praise, and the swordfight was designed to take the record for the longest swordfight in movie history at that time, they had to go back in and add more to the sequence when they were planning it just to get it to be long enough
You should look up the actor that played the grandfather. That was Peter Falk, a brilliant actor best known for being a kind, polite homicide detective named Columbo. He was the first actor in history to be nominated for an Oscar and an Emmy in the same year. And he was the second actor in history to be nominated for an Oscar and an Emmy in the same year. The show 'Columbo' was bizarrely good.
My Dad and I went to see this when it came out in theaters, because my mom was having a Tupperware party. I instantly loved it, even though a few parts were kinda scary for the very young me. It is still one of my all-time favorites.
The Six-fingered man is played by Christopher Guest. He has since written, directed, and starred in a series of absolutely hilarious mockumentaries. Definitely worth checking out
Once while moving through a bus station to my bus, I overheard two people saying goodbye, and the last word from the one seeing their friend off "Have fun storming the castle!".
watched this with some work friends once and one of them was absolutely exhausted so not fully awake while watching. She was half-awake for the "I do not think that word means what you think it means." And quietly squeaked out a "Does that mean she can't get pregnant?"
The writer of the original novel and screenplay of 'The Princess Bride' was William Goldman. Goldman won two Oscars for Best Screenplay, 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' and 'All The President's Men '. When his daughters were very young, he asked them what kind of story they wanted at bedtime. One of them said a story about a princess, the other wanted one about a bride. Goldman split the difference and wrote one story about both. Since the publication and the film, most people think that Goldman adapted the novel based on a novel by "S. Morgenstern", which does not exist.
Cary Elwes (Westley) wrote a wonderful book about filming the movie that is well worth reading called 'As You Wish'.
Robin Wright (Buttercup) did play Jenny in 'Forrest Gump ', among many other amazing roles, and for a while was married to Sean Penn.
Christopher Guest (Count Rugen, the Six-Fingered Man), was a frequent collaborator with director Rob Reiner and helped to create the "mockumentary" genre, comedy films that have a structured story and defined characters, but are largely improvised by the actors while shot in a documentary style. Their first film, 'This Is Spinal Tap', is a classic and hyterical movie about a British metal band. Guest also wrote, directed and starred in 'Waiting For Guffman', 'A Mighty Wind', and 'Best In Show'. He is also a true English peer...Christopher Haden-Guest, 5th Baron of Haden-Guest, and was a member of the House of Lords in British Parliament, until his seat (and many others) were taken away in the 1990s. His wife is American actress Jamie Lee Curtis, from the 'Halloween' horror films, 'Knives Out', 'Trading Places', "A Fish Called Wanda', and many other films.
Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya) is a Broadway legend as an actor-singer having starred in original productions of Stephen Sondheim's 'Sunday In The Park With George' as George, Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Evita' as Che Guevara (which won him a Tony Award), and 'The Secret Garden' as Archibald Craven. He has also recorded MANY albums. But he's best known now for his role in the series 'Homeland'.
Yet another contender for the "Most Heartfelt Reaction" award from YT. There isn't an award ceremony to date, but your reaction to this movie will be among the early favourites at such time. My dear lady, you did not hit a false note anywhere. Pretty amazing, all-in-all.
This is a must see classic 80's movie.
When buttercup is rolling down the hill, all I can hear are the noises Jenny made when she threw the rocks at her dad's house.
The Princess Bride is one of best movies ever. Definitely one of my favorites.
such a fun movie, a hidden gem for sure. Many have no idea what it is, but by the end of the movie. Nearly everyone LOVES it.
This has been my favorite movie as long as I can remember, literally since I was at least 4. The greatest love story, the best giant, great comedy, and the best sword fight ever. Fight me with a sword.
"Nice to each other" = chivalry.
Definitely on my list of favorite movies. In many of the reactions I've seen to this movie the reactor has asked for suggestions of other movies like this. People will give suggestions for various fantasy movies in the comments, at least some of which are really good movies, but I think the only realistic answer to that request is that there are no other movies like this one. For me, the most comparable movie is one that doesn't really seem to have anything in common on the surface. I think it's comparable because it is also a parody of a genre and is full of humor but also has tremendous heart and a clear love for the genre it's a parody of. But aside from the fact that it's a parody of a different genre, it's also very different in a lot of ways. Still a great movie, though, and one I highly recommend. That movie is Galaxy Quest. I don't know if you've already seen it or not - I did check and you don't seem to have a RUclips reaction to it. I don't know that you'd like it as much as this one but I'm sure you'd like it a lot.
So funny...I was thinking of Galaxy Quest as well, for the same reasons. Great minds think alike, I guess (and so do ours).
I would say Stardust is similar as well-full of comedy, drama, melodrama, romance, magic, not as much fencing and torture.
A good, light-hearted, romantic fantasy on a par with this would have to be "Ladyhawke," about two cursed lovers seeking to break the spell. Plenty of humor and drama that is sure to bring a smile to your face. A favorite of mine and my wife's.
There was an Engelbert Humperdinck who was a German composer born in the middle of the 19th-century and who wrote an opera called "Hansel and Gretel". Then there was a singer called Arnold Dorsey who took the name as a stage name and is still alive aged 86. So it's a real name.
The nervous laughter after the rock was thrown 😭😂
You have seen Butterrcup in Forest Gump, BUT, ...... what she has ALWAYS been remembered for is being, "The Princess Bride." When this came out all great American men fell in love with The Princess bride! This is a great movie, with the greatest sword fight of all time.
A brilliant little movie. It has everything you could want in a story time story. I’ve always loved it.
My fondest memory of this movie is going to watch this with all my best friends and at the point where the guy turns and runs I remember my friend, who is now a Bishop, laugh so hard that we all couldn't stop laughing from hearing him laugh.
One of my top favorite movies ever.
One of a handful of truly perfect movies that have been made. Delivers on all fronts.
17:56 OH NO! You cut out "The Queen of PUUUtrescence!" I love this lady's delivery on that line.
What's great about this movie is that it works as an adventure story, but also as a satire of adventure stories. It has all the common tropes and exaggerates them. I recommend the book, it is just as good. The author claims to be editing and redacting a longer version. (Which is why I like the grandpa reading it in the movie.)
In the late 80's my mom would take my younger siblings to Blockbuster every Friday and let them pick a movie out. I was older and I would check the movie they would bring home. I saw the name of the movie The Princess Bride and as a self-respecting teen, I assumed I would not enjoy it, so I skipped it. The next weekend they bring home the same movie. A couple of weeks later, it come back again. I kept refusing to watch it. Then one Sunday afternoon I walk in on my family watching TV. It's this epic sword fight. I sit and start watching. Soon, I'm saying this movie is great and I ask what it is. When they tell me it is the Princess Bride, I can't believe it. I had been missing out on this the whole time. I instantly realize why they kept renting it, because it is immensely rewatchable. It soon became one of my favorite movies.
This movie is on my top five favorite movies list and I absolutely love watching all of you reactors that do first time viewings of it watching it and seeing you fall in love with the movie because so far every reactor that I’ve seen watch this has loved it so I’m so glad that you enjoyed it. I also just recently started watching your videos and I love your reactions and your positive energy so keep up the good work!
R.O.U.S. is one of the greatest parts of this movie. Just like Wesley, I didn't think they were going to be in the movie. But boy was I surprised that they did. This is one of the greatest movies ever made. And I get to see someone else's reactions to it, and I love it. Thanks for sharing this with us, Addie. Great Post.
I forgot how jumpy you can get Addie! As always, a stellar reaction vid... Thanx for the memories!!!
I first saw this in college and it has been one of my top 3 favorite movies ever since! 😁
A while back, I saw an interview with Mandy Patinkin describing he played Inigo by having the six fingered man be the cancer that took his father. He said just for a second when his character killed the six fingered man it brought his father back. Now, every single time when he gives his famous you killed my father prepare to die speech, I tear up...
I had actually never heard that before seeing it in the comments today. Awesome piece of back story, makes me love this film even more. Thank you.

“He'll have to sail around for hours 'til he finds a harbor.” Only Fessiq is strong enough to go up our way." That is how they got up there with the horses, funny though, I've never actually heard anybody ask that question nor wondered myself.
Such a classic movie, one of a kind. I have loved this movie since the first time I saw it as a kid.
Mandy's favorite line from the movie was Inigo saying "You know, it's very strange -- I have been in the revenge business so long, now that it's over, I don't know what to do with the rest of my life."
Legit this has been one of my two favorite movies since I was a kid. I can never choose between this and Labyrinth.
When I was about 10 or 11 my aunt and uncle - who had a satellite dish - taped a dozen or so movies for us on VHS. I watched this, Spaceballs and Ghostbusters many many many many many many times.
Basically same here my parents had HBO Four a short time and they recorded a whole bunch of movies. It's sustained us for quite some time
This is such a fantastic movie, expertly directed by Rob Reiner, and expertly performed by the whole cast. There are SO many subtle things that make me laugh that you catch on subsequent viewings, i hope you watch this on your own from time to time.
I showed this at the movie theater I worked at as a teen, and it was a huge hit during the matinees on Saturdays and Sundays. Been a favorite of mine since.
Great reaction, Addie.
This is a classic movie and I'm so glad you finally watched it,and also surviving all the jump scares,Great reaction and looking forward to seeing more.Stay safe and well.
What an honor it is to have been able to share in your first watch of "The Princess Bride"! I KNEW you'd love it! And you hit it on the head: it's just one of those "go-to" movies, easy to watch and the great thing is every time you watch it you'll catch another great line, or a performance. The performances are uniformly perfect! So was this reaction video! THANKS, Addie!!!! :)
Fun fact: when Cary Elwes kicked the orc helmet, he actually broke a toe, but he took that pain and used it for the scene.
Wrong movie... that was Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn in The Two Towers (LOTR#2)
@@bradsouthers7476
Oh, sorry, let me fix it.
Fun fact: Cary Elwes actually hurt his hand with the broken glass when he slammed it on the table. That's his actual blood we see in the movie. The girl looking shocked when he smears it on her face is a very real reaction.
Aw poor Addie ❤ “is he gonna lock her in her room? Yup”
16:46 Fun fact: Cary Elwes asked for Christopher Guest to *actually* hit him with his sword, so he really is getting knocked out in that shot.
Back when video rental stores were a thing, this film was almost always on the staff top 10 picks.
"Rodents of unusual size ? I dont think they exist" gets tackled by one 😭
Also - Cary Elwes has some GLORIOUSLY funny stories to tell about Andre the Giant - he and the rest of the cast loved the big guy. And it shows.
Just do a search on RUclips for "Cary Elwes Andre the Giant" if you want to laugh a lot! 😂
Wesley told that guy to make that hit look real. He knocked him out and gave him a concussion .
One of my favorite types of videos to watch are reactions to The Princess Bride. I enjoyed watching your reaction.
In 5th grade they took us on a field trip to see this. They rented out the whole theater for the entire 5th grade class to watch and at the end when he said, "I want my father back, you son of a bitch," every kid went ape shit crazy.
Wonderful, Addie! This is one of my favorite movies, so sweet. 😊 Great job!!
"You keep using that word. I do not this it means what you think it means." = Probably my FAVORITE line of the entire movie.
(From one of the MOST quotable movies ever!)
Also, very poignant especially today (when "new" words & definitions are being forcefully injected into the public lexicon via the internet & social media, all the time!).
It's one of MY favorite movies of all time too. So pleasant & just plain fun. (like you said, "the perfect, rainy-day movie")
It's completely inconceivable 😂
Yes, that is Robin Wright, Jenny in Forrest Gump as you said.
You may not have recognised him under all the make-up, but Miracle Max was played by the brilliant Billy Crystal.
It is Inconceivable for anyone to not enjoy this must watch classic.
Fun fact, when Count Rugen knocked out Wesley with his sword hilt, he accidentally hit the actor too hard and the knockout caught on camera legitimately happened. 16:44
Great movie. This movie is for everyone boys and girls it is such a great movie. This movie is based on a book where the person who wrote the book wrote the screenplay for this movie. The scene with Wesley 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. There 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 watch Lady Hawk, Wilow, Labyrinth 1986 and The Never Ending Story.
One of the greats....
Loved your reaction to this classic.
I want a sequel when Fred Savage turns 60 and reads the book to his grandchild. Just a reimagining from the mind of another child.
A family favorite. Seen it close to 200 times.
22:00 that’s my favorite part of this movie when, Fezzik jog albino’s head.
My uncle officiated my wedding; my wife and I convinced him to do the marriage sequence. so perfect lol
I watched this for the first time as a young adult and fell in love with this movie. Another amazing movie uou may want to check out in the shawshank redemption. One of my all time favs. Love the channel.
Something they don't explain in the movie is the reason for Inigo's recovery from being stabbed is that he taste tested the miracle pill. (Apparently it's in the book). If this movie was made any time in the last 20 years, they would have had a montage flashback to beat the audience over the head with it. It's nice that they didn't do that, but most viewers fail to make this connection, so some kind of clue would have been good, maybe just linger on the shot of him tasting it for just a half second longer to plant a subconscious seed.
Hehe.. one of the best.. fun feel good movies. From Terminator 1 and 2.. directly to The Princess Bride. A wonderful 'reset' pick.
All iconic films by the way. Can't wait for the next oldie.
"What do you mean he's dead??" kid said bro he's got plot armor you can't fool me!!
When it came out it wasn't a big hit, there were so many great movies in 1987 (def one of cinema's best year), but it did gain traction with VHS releases and now with the trend of movies reaction and looking back at it, I can assuredly say that this is, without contest, one of the best movie of all times.
What makes it work so well is the lovable cast and the successful mingling of so many genres.
Usually it is a recipe for disaster but in this film, they found the lightning in the bottle and all the genres have just the right amount without tiptoeing on the other genres and it just works.
The comedy is fantastic, the action (especially the first sword fight) is exciting, there are some truly dramatic moments and the narrator and his grandkid relationship is just fun to watch.
Overall, just a wholesome, wholesome movie.
It would be inconceivable to claim otherwise.
"death cannot stop true love, it can only delay it for a little bit"
I saw this movie when it came out at 15. I've experienced it through many phases of live and it keeps surprising me with how it can find a new way to resonate. It's a masterpiece.
A brilliant old-timey adventure movie this one, one of my all-time favourites. :)
This is one of my all time favorite movies and I never tire of watching it. I really enjoyed Andre the Giant's character in it also. It's too bad he wasn't able to do more movies before he passed. RIP Gentle Giant.
This movie wasn't a major success, when it was released 35 years ago this month. It was so unique, 20th Century Fox didn't know how to market it, so it got little publicity.
My wife and I saw The Princess Bride shortly after it came out. We didn't know anything about it; we were looking for a movie-any movie-for our first night out after having our first child. This movie was such a wonderful surprise.
There's a saying " If it's a box office smash , it doesn't become a cult classic. The movies that aren't a box office smash , they become cult classics in the future " : This Is Spinal Tap. No one understood that movie and thought it was a real band . Then they found out the truth . I heard that Rob Reiner is working on a Spinal Tap part 2.
Hello Addie. This is my first time seeing one of your reactions. Really glad you enjoyed this movie as much as you did. And nearly as much as I did. If you're like most people, you'll be quoting this in some way or another for the rest of your life.
