Andre the Giant was so proud of his performance in this movie, he thought it was his most important contribution to mankind. Even better than his wrestling career...

Mandy's father had recently passed away. The emotion behind the words "I want my father back" was completely real.

When rumor broke of a hollywood studio doing a remake of The Princess Bride, Cary Elwes/Wesley posted on Twitter: "There's a shortage of perfect movies in the world, it would be a pity to damage it." lol what a great call back

The last "As you wish" from Grandpa gets me every time. i don't think he's farmboy, but he's definitely saying he loves his grandson.

"He's the farmboy, I recognize his butt!" I've watched many a reaction to this movie, and that's by far and away the quickest anyone has recognized The Man In Black as Wesley.... and the first time he's been recognized by his butt.

“She’s not that much of a commoner. She had a farm boy” is not ever something I expected, or knew I needed to hear before. But you aren’t wrong 😂

"Yes, you're very smart. Shut up." 🤣🤣🤣 cracks me up every time...

"I've been in the revenge business so long..." And the dread pirate roberts sails on the pirate ship "Revenge". So good.

Andre was beloved by the cast and crew. And he loved the movie because on the set he was just one of the performers so after a while nobody paid him any extra attention.

One of the reasons Buttercup didn’t recognize Westley is that…Westley had been dead for five years. If you lose a loved one, and mourn them, and five years later you meet a person who looks and acts just like them, your most likely response would be…huh, this complete stranger acts just like my dead loved one. That’s kinda creepy. Ew. Ok, I’m going to stop looking for further similarities now, before I dredge up old wounds and spend the next three weeks crying.

12:30 “Oh no, she’s on fire!” Fun fact, that’s exactly what William Goldman, the author of the book, said when Buttercup’s dress caught on fire! It was the first take (and yes, they did it practically), and Goldman was on set, but in the moment he forgot that her dress was supposed to catch fire because it was in the book (which he wrote), so he started screaming and ruined the take, so they had to do it over.

Those 2 sword fights are actually considerd by many fans/movie scholars to be 2 of the best sword fights in all cinema, ever.

In the beginning of the movie they make the point that when Westley says "as you wish" it means "I love you." So when the Grandfather says "as you wish" to his grandson, he's telling him he loves him. It's not a hint that the Grandfather was actually Westley.

"All the right people got stabbed." Can't argue with that 🤣 great reaction!

Funny enough, in the book, Buttercup is pretty much described as extremely beautiful, but not very smart. So her not recognizing Westley seems pretty in-character. 😂

This is exactly what I'm looking for in a reaction video: Actual, simple, genuine in-the-moment reactions to the content of the movie. This is perfect. It gets so tiresome checking out new react channels just to find that they spend the whole movie constantly talking, asking questions that the movie will answer if they wait for 5 seconds, constantly trying to out think the movie instead of enjoying it. This is what movie reactions should be.

Andre the Giant was really proud of this movie. The woman who played Buttercup, I always forget her name, said that he was incredibly sweet. She said one day when they had a break from shooting, the crew went horseback riding and got caught in freezing rain. She says Andre noticed her shivering and casually rested his hand on her head like a hat. She said it both warmed her up and kept the rain off surprisingly well but more than that, it made her feel safe.

In the movie it is said when Wesley said “As you wish” to Buttercup he actually meant I love you. When the grandfather said it to his grandson it didn’t mean he was Wesley, he was simply telling his grandson he loved him.

The sword fight between Westley and Inigo is one of the best you will ever see on film

This movie is just so sweet. Stardust has a similar vibe to princess bride but flew under the radar.

There was an alternate ending filmed, where the boy picks up the book and started reading after his grandpa left. Then he hears a noise outside his window, and sees the four characters on horseback, beckoning him to join them on more adventures. (In other words, reading is fun.) Director Rob Reiner chose not to use it, because he didn't want audiences to confuse the fantasy world with the fantasy world. So he used the ending we saw here (because, according to the start of the story, "as you wish" means "I love you"), but it seems that a lot of people still misunderstood, thinking it meant that the grandpa was Westley. He was not.

Fun fact, I literally came back from the dead to watch this movie for the first time ^_^ I was in a coma when I was 12 and died for 40 seconds. A couple of days after I woke up and was back on a regular ward, there was a VCR in the room, and the Princess Bride was the first movie I saw (followed by recent release Dragonheart.) Worth it ^_^ Epic sword fight choreographed by the legend Bob Anderson, whose career spanned far enough to choreograph for Errol Flynn and the Mask of Zorro. RIP, legend :3 If you enjoyed that scene, I remember the choreography in Scaramouche was similar, though less awesome because everything is xD

I highly recommend you look up behind-the-scenes stories about the making of this film. They are all hilarious. For instance, Wesley in the miracle Max scene is most a dummy because Carey Elwis couldn't stop laughing. Or the night before the scene on the hill, Elwis broke his ankle ATVing with Andre. There was that time Andre let out a 17-second fart on set and stopped production. Or the time the guy in the ROUS costume got pulled over by the police while wearing the costume.

Jack Skelington has a LOT of emotional and character growth after this😳😳 He went from Prince Humperdibk to Pumpkin KING.

The book is written just like this, too, with the grandpa reading the story to the kid. It's wonderful.

I'd never thought of the Grandpa as Farmboy... Just someone that had an inside joke for "I love you" that he could share.

While I have never met someone who didn't like this movie, I don't think I've ever seen anyone who enjoyed it the first time as much as you. That was a lot of fun to see, thank you!

This is a nearly perfect movie. My favorite memory is of my friends not wanting to watch this because it was a girly movie to which my friends and i said said girly movie and in Peter Faulks voice we went out had Fencing, Fighting, Adventures, captures, escapes, true love.

"The Machine" in the "Pit of Despair" went all the way to "Eleven"

Wonderful reaction to such a beloved movie. I remembered the cheering in the theater when Inigo killed Count Rugen.

I have no idea how my algorithm knew I enjoyed the Princess Bride. I have no idea how my algorithm knew I'd enjoy your reaction to the Princess Bride. This is one of my favorite movies and I love that you lov4 it, whoever you are, no idea. First time I've seen your channel, good react though.

The dueling scene is the best fight scene ever 😄👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 „I’m not lefthanded either“ 😂😂😂

Have you seen “Galaxy Quest”? It’s a fun one 😀

My favorite tidbit I've read is that the movie had been shot except for the Grandpa/Grandson scenes. Andre went to the set just so Fred could meet him and answered all his wrestling questions. Andre sent him a Christmas card every year until he passed and he looked forward to it the most. Algorithm just suggested you to me, and this Halloween and Friday the 13th are amongst my test movies if I'll enjoy your reaction style. Just subscribed. 👍

I wish they didn't cut the scene where the grandpa tells the sick kid about all the murders he solved when he was a homicide detective in Los Angeles.

22:15-22:22 "Mawhage. Mawhage is wat bwings ås togefah toodae."

Cary Elwes was so GD BEAUTIFUL in this movie.

We all want more movies like this. Sadly, we must get used to disappointment.

Her reactions were exactly what the film-makers wanted.

A perfectly blended movie; of Fantasy, Love, and Comedy. Fun Facts - Andre was particularly proud of the film, and would often discuss the filming of it ad-nauseum to his fellow wrestlers for hours, much to their annoyance and boredom. I can't remember if it was the Director or one of the Writers who recently stated that the ending was suppose to allude to the Grandad being a descendent of the Dread Pirate Roberts. The film was based on a book, and was to have the heroes fight in a ménage of exotic animals, but the budget could not stretch to it, so it was cut.

At last a reactor who recognized Billy Crystal. One of the most honorable men in hollywood. Have a like.

Miracle Max restored Wesley back to full life, including the life he lost to the machine.

There is also another version called The Princess Bride Home Movie, with an Allstar cast including Fred Savage as an adult, Jack Black, Adam Sandler, Jenna Ortega, Paul Rudd, Hugh Jackman, Sophie Turner, John Malkovich, and about 20 others. It's so cheesy that it's actually Great.

“It’s the dill weed from Twister” No lie. I can just be endlessly grateful that this was the first movie I saw that guy in. In my opinion, it was his best (physically, at least). He and all the other amazing actors in this movie were absolutely blessed to have been a part of this classic! Thank you so much for sharing!!

André the Giant didn't know how to speak English, in this movie, he just did it phonetically. As you've seen in this movie, it's a film about love. It was filmed in a very cold time of year, in Eastern Europe. THe access who played Buttercup got very, very cold. André used to rest his massive hand on her head, to keep her warm. He didn't have a good life, it was wracked with pain and alcoholism but this movie was something he saw as the time in his life where he loved and was loved. I don't think he knew the relivence of, "As you wish." but in year to come, it was the line in the movie that was most about him.

My uncle is a pastor, and I actually convinced him to do the marriage sequence for my wedding lol. My family had seen the movie, but my wife's family had not. So half the wedding was laughing and the other thought my uncle had an speech impediment hahah

My favorite thing about this movie: it plays pretty much exactly like a Dungeons and Dragons campaign.

Now you gotta watch Labyrinth the movie that gave A LOT of my generation....confusing feeling that lasted well into adulthood 🤣🤣🤣🤣🦉

Next movie should definitely be Robin Hood, Men in Tights. So many good actors in it. Including Patrick Stewart. It's a spoof of the original, so it's incredibly funny. Fun fact, Buttercup was also in Wonder Woman.

You may recognize Westley as The Man in Black, but the grandson, having only the words read to him, has only his imagination to "fill in the blanks," or to take a guess. Works the same way for all the characters -- they're in a fantasy world and have no concept of who the others are! Grandpa's "As you wish" at the very end does NOT mean he's Westley/FarmBoy; it means Grandfather is a very caring family member and favors his grandson!

Hands down, the best romantic comedy ever written. It's a top 10 film for me.

This is an absolutely perfect film. Added bonus: Columbo

I have watched dozens of reactions to this movie. I have to say, I cannot recall one I enjoyed as much. This was great!

She is so charming and beautiful! Her reaction to this film was so perfect. My wife watched this and couldn't have cared less. She says het sense of humor is broken. 😂 Thanks for letting us come along on this journey with you!

Prince Humperdinck’s actor reminded me of the movie Fright Night, you should watch that if you haven’t seen it yet!

This is my favorite movie of all time. It came out the year I was born. If you want to go for the trifecta, you should watch this, Robin Hood men in tights, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail ❤

I watched this movie over 500 times as a kid/teen. Had it memorized and could run through the dialogue from start to finish. 😂 Ever after correcting people when they quote it… Also had Spaceballs memorized, but only watched it a couple dozen times… 🤦‍♂️

When answering his grandson's request for another reading the grandfather says "As you wish ". And just as in the book what he is saying to his grandson is .. I love you.

You had me at, "His hair is very swoopy." 😂😭😂

This is my absolute favorite movie of all time. I was 11 years old when it came out, about the same age as the grandson in the movie, so it holds a special place in my heart. So, as you can imagine, I've watched a lot of people react to this movie. Your reaction was a joy to watch, because it genuinely seemed like you liked it as much as I always have.

Definitely need to introduce her to Mel Brooks movies

Delightful! I want to see more of your work. Mandy Patinkin has recently said that his favorite line in the film is, "I've been in the revenge business so long, I don't know what to do with the rest of my life." He thinks it's a hugely important message for all of us.

This is literally my favorite movie of all times and it brings me SO much joy to watch your reactions to one of the greatest movies ever created.

WE ALL want more movies like The Princess Bride!

In the book, Vizzini is so smart that he borders on clairvoyant. When given all the info, he can conceive a perfect outcome and act accordingly. Wesley is a complete X-factor; as a result every thing Wesley does is... inconceivable. 😮

I think this is one of the most beautiful movies ever made👍🏼

Great reaction I'm glad you got such a kick out of "poor lost circus performers". I always loved that line. Also, "It's Farmboy. I recognise his butt." 😂😂😂

The second best thing after seeing this movie the first time, is seeing someone else see it for the first time.

It was SO refreshing to see reactors who actually got (and appreciated!) ALL of the brilliant humor in this movie. I've been amazed at how many just don't get most of it... and most of 'em certainly don't recognize Billy Crystal. lol. Fantastic reaction!

To your credit you were able to guess when Vizzini just fell over dead 10:09 ... love seeing your reactions to movies I grew up on lol you two are awesome

I love her reaction to this. I saw the tiktok and I wanted more of a reaction and I chuckled right along with you both. Hearing your husbands laugh with you is amazing.

I love that Humperdinck was the main inspiration for Lord Farquardt in Shrek. Such a tool.

While I love your horror movie reactions, there is nothing quite like getting to see someone's reaction to this masterpiece. I am so glad you shared it with us, and keep up the great work!

I still laugh when the Sicilian stops laughing. And I've watched this movie tons of times too. Love it

Saw a TikTok the other day that said that the Count Rugen actor actually knocked Cary Elwes out when he clonked him on the head outside the Fire Swamp. He woke up in the ER.

Why do some people think Grampa is Farm Boy? Do they also think there's a Cliffs of Insanity and that Shrieking Eels are real? Sheesh. Thanks for the reaction ;-)

During the filming of the ascent of The Cliffs of Insanity all four actors were attached to a harness and pulled up the cliff. Wallace Shawn was really frightened and scared that he would spoil the scene. Sensing this Andre the Giant put his massive had on Shawn’s head and stroked it saying “It’s alright I will keep you safe.” That was enough to calm him down and he was fine for the whole day’s filming.

One of my favorite movies ever. It’s literally got everything. My nephews name is Westley, spelled like the character on purpose

So glad you made the move to KZfaq, and we get to see longer-format content. Enjoy the ride!

Now you need to watch Willow. It's another great adventure movie.

One of the greatest movies ever. Timeless, ageless

The icing on the cake is the stellar soundtrack by Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits)… he’s done nine soundtracks to date. Sublime!

Robin Wright was on a daytime soap opera at the time, so the drama she brings to Buttercup is so appropriate for the role but really makes a lot of sense for where she was at in her career too.

As a former fan of The Princess Bride when it came out, this has been by far one of the most wholesome and beautiful reactions I've seen in a while. You got another sub!

25:32 This line gets me every time. Grandpa wasn't Farmboy. Him saying "As you wish" at the end was just him telling his grandson "I love you". Grandpa was played by the great Peter Falk (Columbo). You recognized Billy Crystal as Miracle Max, but his wife was played by the wonderful Carol Kane. Another great movie with Peter Falk, Peter Sellers, Alec Guinness, Maggie Smith, and Truman Capote is Neil Simon's Murder by Death (1976) Christopher Guest (Count Rugan) can be seen in This is Spinal Tap (1984) If this movie got you into swordfighting and you want to see more, you might want to check out The Mask of Zorro (1998), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), or the AMC tv series from a few yers back, Into the Badlands.

Oh my gosh, I don't think I've ever seen a reaction to this movie on par with this in terms of thorough enjoyment and amusement throughout. Reminds me of myself when I first watched it ^_^ Simply marvelous!

On set, Andre the Giant let out a 16-second fart that brought the entire production to a standstill. Elwes said "Nobody said anything except Rob Reiner (the director), who said 'Are you OK, Andre?' and André replied, 'I am now, boss.'

She had the best reactions to this movie that I've ever seen across KZfaq

We rented this movie because Andre the Giant was in it. Tv “Pro” wrestling was kind of hilarious back then and we watched it fairly often. We were completely surprised how great and hilarious this movie is. Bought it. Wore out the first one and bought another. When DVD’s came out, I bought that. It, to me, is one of the most entertaining movies ever made.

The Dread Pirate Roberts was probably named after an actual famous pirate, Bartholomew Roberts, who captured 400 ships and died fighting a British warship in the middle of a tropical storm.

You came across my FYP on tiktok, and I had to add you there and subscribe here. Your reactions to this and Neverending Story hooked me! You seem like you get so invested in the movies and you emote on the outside just how I tend to feel inside, and I find myself laughing and crying alongside you all over again. i really look forward to seeing more reactions, Nikki!

To my generation, the name Humperdink is synonymous with heart-throb. Ingelbert Humperdink's recordings, beginning with three huge hits in 1967, had sales of more than 140 million worldwide during his five-decade career. My mom was just one of millions of women who adored the British crooner, now 88.

Genuine, heart felt enjoyment of reactor is best kind of reaction. Subscribed!

I've watched a lot of reactions to this movie, yours is by far the best one! I love how completely invested you got with the plot!

This movie instilled in so many the pure SATISFACTION that can be derived from a *reallllllly well* choreographed sword fight. Bob Anderson was the Sword Madter for this, and many other movies. Legend of Zorro, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Three Musketeers, etc, etc. Basically if you’ve watched a movie from the early at least the mid 80s to about 2006 that featured an awesome sword scene? It was Bob Anderson. Thank you Bob ☺️

Oh my gosh! I saw the condensed version of this on TikTok. Love your reaction!!! This movie is everything! 😍

Nooo, his grandfather is not Farmboy. But what you didn´t realize is that whenever he said "As you wish", what he truly meant was "I love you".

This is the best reaction to Princess Bride on KZfaq. Thanks you two!!!

Thank you so much ! This is one of my favorite movies, and I often find ways to work quotes from it into my everyday conversations. I enjoyed watching your genuine reaction - it was like experiencing the movie for the first time again ! Fantastic.

We say this all the time at work; "Inconceivable!"
