I never noticed that until you pointed it out

Intimidating thousand yard stare.

I noticed that too, great direction there.

mymymaichun you mean Wesley, right?

He's maintaining eye contact like the alpha he is.

Its not even that hard of an insult, what are you, 12?

*Proceeds to call him a pig and a miserable vomitous mass* Gotta make good on that word!

​@@nefariousvii5255 thats something a 12 yo would say

He said "it will be the last" not won't

When I met Chris Saradon (Humperdink) in person, I gave him that same remark, and he thought the line was "Baboon" but he took it as a compliment.

Inconceivable!

@@wolfgang5o1 As you wish.

@@SyzygyNoon anyone want a peanut?

@@ticcitoby6179 Are you implying that I’m well-trained?

*Roll for intimidation*

The book is great too, but this is probably one of the few movies that is actually better than the book ... slightly.

@@libertyresearch-iu4fy apparently princess diaries is also better than the book but I hear that was also not a very hard thing to do since the book princess diaries was so bad

You do realize the book and the screenplay were both written by the same person, William Goldman?

@@commanderkeen3787 yes.

@@SteveRogers0768 honestly can't read your tone through the text so i could be missing it completely, but it's all like made up lmao. It's called an abridged version but there is no original version, that I'd the original version. The countries he says he visited in it don't exist, the author he claims he's abridging from doesn't exist, etc. It's all pretty great imo and is one of my favorite books and movies

Exactly!

This comment!!

the only time i ever saw this was in 5th grade

And the only thing even better is the book. Read it! It`s even more awesome. But I actually came here to write the same comment.

That's exactly what I was going to say!

Can't they just leave the classics be.

@@nathanmorgan7949 Right? Enough, already....

1:29

I dunno... I wouldn't have thought a title like "The Princess Bride" would be very marketable

@@nathanmorgan7949 Would they do it justice? It's conceivable, but I don't think so...

Lol

It helped he was just back from being mostly dead and couldn't do facial expressions yet.

blueeyedjewel Agreed

Jack Jones 😂🤣 exactly! Westley: Why won't my arms move?! Fessik: You've been mostly dead all day.

He didn’t even blink the entire time.

lol Well, if one is to surrender, one must be classy about it. :D

It's equivalent to a dog tucking its tail between its legs

Me too, it's a great visual gag and I don't think most people notice it.

It’s his sleeves not a cape

clearly, you've not worn enough capes in your life. Unless you like being choked when you sit, tuck the cape. Sadly, the statistical deviation of people who wear capes AND like being choked vs those who do not is alarmingly high.

I had a similar story with what I learned from a fellow security guard, he taught me that the best way to get someone to back down or to instill fear is to make your warning quick, but clear and full of conviction. Monologuing usually does nothing, and can often be seen as an empty threat. That's part of why the prince kept telling him he was bluffing. It was only until he got up and told him to drop his sword without even blinking that the prince sat down immediately.

Burn notice had the same thought process during an interrogation scene. Their words were "Pain perceived is pain gained" while Bruce Campbell cuts his thumb and pouts blood on a dude

Fear is a very powerful emotion though love is the pinnacle of all emotions

@@CBMOA agreed but much too difficult for many to wield and fewer still to master.

you're*

Quadraxis My best friend loves DnD and The Princess Bride, and he almost threw my phone reading this, thank you. 💕

Yes perfect example!

Leela Cupcake -with all of the other amazing actors, I forget she’s in the movie at all HAHAHA.

@@munkeybutt even though she's the title character?

David Ray - yup exactly

I guess that's how good the speaking lines in this scene were!

@@DavidRay39 Yes.

“I knew he was bluffing! I knew he was- ...bluffing.”

Oh boy.

I see someone is a fan of Critical role and Matt Mercers style of DM'ing lol

@@nomadjensen8276 also reminds me of Brennan Lee Mulligan's (from Dimension 20) style of dm-ing when someone gets a nat 20

That... that's my line of thought 1:1

Is Westley a rogue though?

Also, a bit of a sadist, considering he would rather have his enemies living in agony instead of merciful death.

Quinn Fletcher I think it was all he could do to delay the prince from killing him and he created a perfect tailored torture for the sheltered prince

I like Inigo better... but yeh. Wesley’s awesome.

@MewSn0wk1tty he spent three years with Roberts, not ten.

He’s also a fucking Roast God. Hitting the Prince with some scathing one-liners.

Haha yes!

That is an insult to warthogs!

"That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me."

@@rhaegostheskydragon1760 but it won't be the last

@@jyow-xe7pw "To the pain means that the first thing you is your feet, below the ankles. Next your hands, at the wrists. Next, your nose."

It is the greatest punishment, to live in pain

It's strangely common in modern media. It happens twice in the new doctor who where instead of killing big spiders with a gun (because guns bad) they lock them in a saferoom to starve to death. And instead of killing an assassin they lock the assassin in a stasis chamber that leaves him aware and in an abandoned ship forever.

@@jonsimpson6240 TF ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT I DIOT?!?! S TFU M ORON!!!

Its Batman's entire flaw.

@Melonie Jen superb spelling.

Do you attend mass at Our Lady of Just Don't Freakin' Get It?

How honourable.

Impossible. Only the greatest of saving throws could hope to defeat a charisma score of that magnitude. The prince had a 5% chance of success, at BEST.

The king was a coward and a vain one at that. That was the whole point.

@@josephmanno4514 To quote a certain Mexican from a certain movie,"When you're going shoot, shoot; don't talk"

Quinn Sinclair best Halloween costume idea ever and guess who’s giving out candy this year! Guess who’s going to be keeping it all because of this most horrible, beautiful most wonderful idea!

This dude is an idiot, who the fack can't spell recommend?

I'm 100% doing that for halloween next year

Yeah lemme just stab out my eyes real quick

grabs the guy to the left: "He volunteers!"

"Take 87... really Cary, you've gotta try not to laugh this time. We're running out of film..."

@@Commanderziff I do wonder how many takes this took. I mean very rarely do people get it on the first take.

@@madelinestraumanis219 At least two, since there's a cutaway to Humperdink and then it cuts back to Westley with his head angled a bit differently. My guess would be closer to five, just for good measure.

ever1024 what about Terminator? RAAAAUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably why it is one of the very rare movies that has NOT been remade or had a sequel done. And that is as it should be. Why mess with perfection? lol

@@CeltycSparrow Perfection hasn't stopped Disney before.

Every sibling can relate.

It's possible, _pig_

*my sister and I

It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.

I do both.

i remember having a crush on him watching this as a kid 😂

I was listening to him and practicing those awesome insults

It’s called multitasking

Cary Elwis aged like a fine wine

Despereaux saying anything Westley said would have been amazing.

4 years too late, but its « hilarious »

GamrDan damn, what an old comment. time flies

That moustache is absolutely dashing, how dare you.

Same.

Don't we all girl don't we all... True love like that... And he's pretty cute too except for the mustache (I don't do mustaches sorry too itchy when you get kissed :p)

Stephanie Whitaker oh my gosh I don't like that mustache but he it's just so cute

Stephanie Whitaker oh my gosh I don't like that mustache but he it's just so cute

hannah kennedy Yeah but, to be honest cant imagine him without a mustache

Mandy has also passed on

​@@hydewhyte4364no he didn't lol

@@user-pi3hd2bt3fSeems you're right ... then who the hell am I thinking of? Someone similar from one of those CIS ripoff shows.

@@hydewhyte4364 i mean The the guy who wrote the book/ script writter died in 2018 if that helps Everyone else was quite young to have died already

Ender41948 I can't hear a word you say over the sound of cannon firing,my dear.

Batman knows that all too well 😂

only if you remember not to cut off your opponent's ears.

It works so long as the person being intimidated can both hear/perceive and understand you. While it can be done through voice, sound, or body language, if they weren’t paying attention to begin with, it loses a bit.

lol why doesn't this have more likes?

Has a lot more oomph to it if you call someone a 'fell-faced, worm-eaten clump of festering flesh' than if you call them a 'motherf***er,' doesn't it?

i_ ship_it I was in a theatre type club as a kid and we were doing auditions and this was the scene, when we were figuring out the roles for that time everyone was using a script. But I however recited the whole insult from Wesley’s side and next thing you know the entire room just goes silent

I personally hated the ROUS scene because Buttercup was just standing there fully useless while her lover was being eaten alive

Buffoon. Sorry.

The only acceptable remake is a Broadway musical.

@@castlegarden2999 That would be amazing!

They are in freakish misery

Dear God what are those things ^_-

Make that 31 miserable, vomitous masses XD

Yet over 4 years hence that number has only doubled. Shows that good taste in classic movies still exists to this day.

And doubled yet again. The movie's decent, this scene is rubbish.

FACTS

radconserv68 I knew he was bluffing >:D I knew he was 0-0...bluffing
