Mandy Patinkin, the actor who played Inigo Montoya, has said on numerous occasions that the motivation he used was very personal. When he was speaking to the Six Fingered Man, he imagined he was speaking to the cancer that took the life of his father. Thus, the real emotion behind his line reading, especially at the end.

We are watching a movie through the imagination of a child. That's why bits are over the top. This movie has the greatest sword fight in cinematic history. IMHO.

The premise of the Grandpa reading to his captive audience grandson is the perfect setting for this tale to be told.

Toni would also like "Ladyhawke" (1985)

Peter Faulk's most touching line , that last "As you wish""

Toni hadn't seen this? Inconceivable!

The novel and screenplay were written by William Goldman, one of the most influential screenwriters ever. He also wrote Marathon Man (also from his novel), All the President's Men, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid among others. Goldman asked his kids what kind of story they wanted him to write: one said a princess, one said a bride... so he combined it. I've gifted the novel for birthdays and Christmas multiple times. One loose rule for life I have is "never trust anyone who doesn't like The Princess Bride".

Inigo doesn’t die from the thrown blade because he kissed the miracle pill before shoving it down Wesley’s throat. That gave him just enough immunity to let him somewhat recover.

Robin Wright aka Buttercup stated that late Andre The Giant aka Fezzik kept her warm during cold evenings when filming cupping her head with his very large hands. According to Robin, Andre was the gentle giant.

This movie has a special place in my heart. I'm the exact same age as Fred Savage (to the *day*) so I was his age here when this came out. Also when the Grandfather tells him "As you wish" at the end, with the meaning being "I love you." kills me every time.

❤ "As you wish." ❤ Fun Fact: Was shot on a budget of $16 Million. Action Star Fact: Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin performed all of their own sword-fighting after many hours of training. According to Rob Reiner, the only stunt performed by Elwes' stunt double was one flip during the "Chatty Duelists" scene. Historical Fact: There really was a "Dread Pirate Roberts" in real life. His name was Bartholomew Roberts, also known as Black Bart, who operated in the Caribbean in the early 18th century. He is reckoned by many to have been the most successful pirate of all time. Gentle Giant Fact: Despite his character Fezzik's almost-superhuman strength, André René Roussimoff's back problems at the time prevented him from actually lifting anything heavy. Robin Wright had to be attached to wires in the scene where Buttercup jumps from the castle window into Fezzik's arms because he couldn't support her himself.

"Have fun storming the castle" ... a line for roleplayers ...

A friend of mine was talking about watching this movie with his girlfriend and one of our other friends immediately started laughing and teasing him about doing a movie night with something called “The Princess Bride.” At this point, we realized he didn’t know what it was and practically forced him to watch it that night. He loved it so much my Christmas present for him that you ended up being a full-size movie poster lol.

One of my fav stories, was about a passenger on a plane. He was wearing a shirt with the quote "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." On the front. The flight crew did not know the reference and tried to remove him from the plane. After finally explaining the meaning, the passenger was made to wear another shirt, because apparently the crew was afraid he was terrifying other passengers. 😅😂😂.. Om goodness. More people need to watch this movie.

The ROUS's had me rolling on the floor as a kid. They so obviously just threw a giant fake rat at him and then cut, I couldn't breathe. lol

One of the most charming movies of all time. Great reaction.

The six-fingered man was Christopher Guest, who has been married to Jamie Lee Curtis for almost 40 years. Rob Reiner who directed this also directed 'Misery' (1990) a very different film based on a Stephen King book. There's one story that when Billy Crystal was improvising his 'Miracle Max' scene, Rob Reiner was laughing so much behind the camera that he couldn't breathe and thought he might throw up so he had to step out to take a break and compose himself. The 'Cliffs of Insanity' when they are viewed from a distance and you can tell that they are real, are cliffs on the west coast of Ireland that are a popular tourist attraction (not just because of this film). The film was shot at different locations in England and Ireland.

"Mawwidge.. Mawwidge is what bwings us togevva, today.." 😂😂

As a guy I tell my better half often ,,As you wish'' and mean exactly what Wesley meant and there are times when the expression means something very different 😊

Although this genre of movie typically wouldn't necessarily appeal to me, from the moment I saw this movie, I fell in love with it. Such a unique blend of comedy, drama, action, and hope. It has some of the most memorable, quotable lines ever spoken in a movie. I consider it to be one of my favorite movies of all time. I don't know anyone who's seen the movie who didn't like or love it. Great reaction!

Mandy and Cary had 4 months of training with swords for their fight. The original fight was to be less than 2 minutes but was expanded to nearly 4 minutes.

I grew up hearing the lines from my family until i was like six my brother said the peanut line and i was like "whats that from anyway?" And so i was shown, except for the curse word at the end 😆 Years later i would purchase the book and read it to my mother and older sister. ❤️

I love the 'As you wish' the grandfather says at the end.

The actor that played Wesly is also in "Glory" which I recommend for your viewing.

I had a policy of never seeing any movie with the words princess or bride in the title - I finally made an exception for this one.

This was one of my top favourites back in the 80s. Still hold true in this day and age, not that say much about today. Glad you both enjoyed it. Much love from Brisbane, Australia.

!!!Yes- YES!!! This is IT!! Thank You, Mr. David.... Mz. Toni, You will LOVE, LAUGH & Never Cry, You Rock Mr. DAVID!! "Have Fun Storming the Castle..!" 😍

For my family this was an instant classic once on VHS. I grew up quoting this movie and now have 4 graphic shirts.

I am so pleased your beautiful wife got a chance to see this charming classic tale. In many ways the warmth and gentleness of the style of this movie reminds me of your wife's gentle and loving personality.

Whoa... I'm tearing up and Toni isn't??? I lose it every time when the grandpa says "as you wish"

Oh gosh...I have seen this movie hundreds of times...I really hope these guys both LOVE this one as much as I do. And I cannot wait to see what they make of Miracle Max and his wife Valerie...my personal favorite characters. LOL

A great little cult film which I've been watching for over 2 decades and it still is as funny as when I first saw it......

I took a poll with the humans I know and we've agreed that u 2 are the cutest couple on KZfaq 😊

Saw this way back in the late 80's! Definitely a classic imo, nothing else quite like it

Toni watched The Princess Bride? Inconceivable! Cast notes: Cary Elwes was also in Twister and Bram Stoker's Dracula. Billy Crystal starred as one of the first regular gay characters on American television on ABC's Soap, and was also the main lead in City Slickers and When Harry Met Sally. . . Fred Savage starred on The (original) Wonder Years. I always thought he should've played Jay Leno's son in something. Oscar winner Carol Kane is best known for Taxi starring Christopher Lloyd, Judd Hirsch, Tony Danza and Andy Kaufman. She currently appears as the chief engineer of the starship Enterprise on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Buttercup was the female lead in Forrest Gump and also starred in Wonder Woman with Gal Gadot. Mandy Patinkin starred on Criminal Minds, and in Yentl, which I highly recommend. The "Inconceivable" guy is a semi-regular on Young Sheldon, recurred on the original Gossip Girl, and played a popular alien character on many episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, as well as Rex in all the Toy Story films. Peter Falk was Columbo!

I must say, this is one of my favorites! Glad you got Toni to see it. Always loved Fezzik (the giant.) I have a friend who used to work at the old Boston Garden. One of the nights he worked security was when Andre The Giant was wrestling there. and got to meet him. My friend is 6'3 and about 280. Andre TOWERED over him. pretty wild. great video!!

Though not very well received at first, it helped launch the careers of Cary Elwes and Robin Wright to leads and not just ensemble parts. For several years after, it was the movie they were most recognized for. It is also the film they both have admitted to being proud and comfortable with to show their young growing children at the time. The Princess Bride has become sooo beloved and iconic because of the writing, easy flow, the various genres (adventure, action, comedy, romance, and fantasy) it travels to while telling a sweet, endearing, hopeful story for all in the family. There is no real vulgarity, nudity, gore, or lascivious affections. All the main characters are played by well-trained actors who knew how to play their parts with sincerity and truth to the characters. There was no need for CGI or needless special effects. Overall, the was made in its simplest form, relying mostly on the dialogue and the acting of each actor. The effects that it does have are at the minimum to keep the story moving forward.

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. 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 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.”" . Fyi the actor who plays the grandpa is famous for playing the funny detective Columbo which had a great show for many years. Also Fyi I heard the writer of the book and of the script was on set when the filmed the Fire Swamp scene forgot it was a movie and panicked when fire was on Buttercup (Robin Wright) dress

“I’ve heard you say it to the girls” Well done sir 👏

I don't understand why people love this movie so much, and I did enjoy that Toni seemed a little perplexed at several moments.

You have to remember it’s been 5 years since she last saw him.

I love this movie. So much fun, lighthearted and moving at the same time. Awesome to see you enjoying some laughs!

Miracle Max and his wife were played by Billy Crystal and the wonderful Carol Kane. Peter Falk (besides being Columbo) was also in the great Neil Simon comedy Murder by Death, with Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers, Maggie Smith, Truman Capote, and others.

A sleeper hold will make you pass out for about 10 seconds

Two of the bits of writing in cinematic history. Inigo: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." And .... Inigo: Who are you? Roberts: No one of consequence. Inigo: I must know. Roberts: Get used to disappointment. 😉

Miracle Max was Billy Crystal and his wife was Carol Kane.

I was 10 when I saw it in the theater and I've watched it many, many, times since.

This is the perfect sunday afternoon rainy day movie i love it great reaction

Peter Falk was my favorite… “As you wish”

the grandfather used to play the guy on the one tv show i think it was called Columbo aka Peter Falk

"How did he have the strength to do that?" Because this is a fairy tale 😂

This is a legitimate addition to any list of Christmas movies you may have put together. Notice some of the little clues in the grandson's room. Remember, this MOVIE is a visualization of the BOOK's narrative; the grandson hears grandfather's voice read the WORDS in the book; any IMAGES that are conjured up are in grandson's head. To really dig into the making of this film, try to find at your local library the book (or recorded book) by Cary Elwes (Westley, The Man in Black) titled "As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride." Lots of film lore and personal insights, how the cast was assembled, how much genuine fun and friendship the ALL had and cultivated while making the movie.

My favorite is Grandpa. He’s Falking great. 😉 If Inigo becomes the Dread Pirate Roberts, he’ll still technically be in the _Revenge_ business, since that’s the name of the pirate ship.

A classic! My childhood wrapped with a bow. :) It was written as a book, the father promised his girl a bed night story, she asked for princess and a bride, this is the movie based on the book.

0:38 toni _immediately_ begins to think about *not* overthinking... 💭🙂

Another line I hear used a lot that was not mentioned in your wrap up (maybe you did earlier): "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means"

My experience is this movie became big when released on vhs for rentals. That first year I saw it several times at a "let's rent a movie" night. I got burnt out on it because of this. I remember the night it was the straw that broke the camel's back, "hey we got 'The Princess Bride'". I thought "oh god not again". Still a good movie though.

Hey, Toni and David. Loved your react. I always thought Inigo's name should have been longer. Like, "Hello, my name is Inigo Roberto Carlos Alfonse Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." You know how the Spanish have those long names. 😂 Regards from Illinois. ✌&❤

The one thing a remember about the book was that the ending was a bit more ambiguous and said that Wesley continues to get better but that it was uncertain if he would ever get his full strength back, I guess it was meant to be a more adult, less simplistic "happily ever after," ending, but it was a slight buzz kill for me. I liked the movie ending better.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. So much fun, perfect dialog, exciting fight scenes...True Love. All around great!

Great reaction! Thanks!, I've enjoyed this movie since I watched it regularly on vhs, lol, I've always thought that the scene's and images were to be viewed from the grandsons imagination as his grandfather reads the story., it is truly brilliant!, imo...

This movie is so much fun. I'm glad you both enjoyed it.

now this is what i want to see toni react to

This is one of my top-ten favorite movies. Enjoyed your review as usual. BTW, David always like how you don't tell Tony anything about the movie 😀

I love the movie and wouldn't have thought I would had anyone described it to me. I am so glad I finally watched it last year, at 62, am so glad I did.

Yes!!! Oh Toni is going to LOVE this one! and so NOT a Hallmark movie!! LOL

Mandy Patinkin who plays the Spaniard lost his father to cancer right before filming He said n he pictured the 6 fingered man as cancer and when he kills him and recites the line that he wants his father back he drops the accent and says it in his real voice

Your wife has never heard of this before?! Inconceivable!

Screenplay by the late great William Goldman who wrote such classics as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All the Presidents Men, Marathon Man, Magic, Misery and many others.....

Mate,i laughed every time you did! Some people just don't understand 😂❤

now that Toni has seen the Princess Bride, I think she should watch Pulp Fiction (1994)

One movie I would recommend to you is Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I've seen you already watched a movie with Kevin Costner, and this one has Alan Rickman as Sheriff in it to boot!

This is a fun one. Bye bye Toni!!! Have fun watching Princess Bride, try not to cry. Think it will work? It will take a miracle. BYE!!! BYE!!!

I knew Toni’d like this. Great reaction, as usual y’all. (Btw, the 6 fingered man…in real life has been married to Jamie Lee Curtis for 40 years.😉)

The bad 6 fingered man is Christopher Guest who is married to Jamie Lee Curtis, He has made some hilarious movies like Best in Show & This is Spinal Tap.

RIP to Andre the Giant, in this, so good. What if grandpa is a descendant of Indigo or Wesley?😮😮. Billy crystal is the magic spells doctor. He said once in a restaurant, he's having a conversation at a table with a business guy and a few friends. He says another guy was sitting at a table, at an angle away, from him. He asked crystal what he got, and he had ordered something similar. Then he tells Crystal, " I once had a BLT here, and the Bacon was nice and lean, nice and leeeeeeen!" He said everyone started cracking up!

I loved Zorro as a kid and this confused me initially, great movie

Such a sweet story. 😊 Thanks for sharing this one!

your wife seemed very tired...but i liked the reaction as ive never seen the movie...great job!

It's a snarky Fairy Tale. THE snarky Fairy Tale.

I do remember Elwes on Letterman doing a promo for this film and mentioning he would like to play Tony Stark in a live action Iron Man movie... everyone was very confused by that statement as Iron Man was not the popular character that he is today.

Scenes/subplots that are better in the book: Buttercup mourning Westley, Humperdinck arranging for commoner Buttercup to become a princess, Inigo’s backstory, Fezzik’s backstory, the snow sand rescue, the Pit of Despair, working with Miracle Max. Scenes/subplots better in the movie include: Inigo sword fighting with Westley, Vizzini battle of wits, Inigo fighting Count Ruben, storming the castle, and the meta story being the Grandpa reading to the kid.

I love this movie. My sister doesn't like it. I called her a Philistine. Showed it to my great-niece's stepdaughter who's 10 and she adores it. My 4 year old great-great-nephew loves the action and Fezzig the Giant.

I have a t-shirt defining Inconceivable. The Second Meaning: Not what you think it means. 👍🏾

That was fun! Thank y'all!

Andre's line "people in masks can't be trusted" is a cute little nod to his main profession. He was a professional wrestler, and has faced masked opponents on many occasions. Masked wrestlers are almost always the "heels" (rule-breakers)

I like how the Grandfather considers "torture" a sport.

I love this movie. You guys should watch Robin Hood Men in Tights

Christopher Guest, who was the 6th finger man. He said he was actually scared at the fight scene as Mandy got really angry.

I don't recall this being poorly-received in the theatres, but it might have grown more as word-of-mouth spread. When I first watched it in the theatre, the biggest audience laugh was 'Mawwiage....'

If you listen to books on Audible, I strongly recommend listening to "As You Wish" written and read by Cary Elwes, but also featuring the voices of many of the actors and creators of the movie. You'll learn many facts about the making of the movie, helpful tips (don't get hit on the head with the hilt of a sword), and hear Elwes fantastic impression of Sir Roger Moore.

It's not what it sounds like from the title! I have watched many, many reviews of this movie and not one of them has been negative. This has something for everyone and because he's 'reading the good bits' there is no pointless padding. the action keeps going. I saw a coffee mug. 'Hello my name is Inigo Montoya, you drink my coffee - Prepare to die!'

I hope you do Terms of Endearment soon! A lighthearted, feel good movie that Toni is sure not to cry through! 😃😉 A must see!

"Is this a kissing book?"

One of the only movies that’s actually as good as the book on which it’s based.

The grandpa was Columbo

so i first saw this movie when i was the same age as the kid in the start (fred savage) and since then it has been an all time favourite loved every moment the story telling was well done the humor was beautiful and the romance on point & u should know im not really a fan of romance so thats saying something oh & every single actor was chosen well, loved seeing Andre the giant

Love the book as well

great reaction. its getting closer to halloween and I want to give some reccommendations for great halloween season horror movies, please watch "hereditary", "the conjuring", and the very wierd semi horror movie "midsommar". THANKS!!. one more suggestion.....could you do more movies and less serirs reactions? OR keep the monday series reactions and do a movie reaction on thursday and say saturday? Thanks, your channel is in my top 3 favorite reaction channels.

OK ... just now starting to watch this one ... I can't believe I'm saying this but my money is betting she doesn't cry during this one ... shocking but I doubt it ... if she does then I give up ..
