The entire scene at Miracle Max's hut (starting round 27:40) took days to film. The biggest problem was that Miracle Max is played by Billy Crystal and his wife is played by Carol Kane, two of the greatest comedic actors who ever lived. They improvised constantly. Scenes had to be shot over and over as they changed the lines and made up some new funny stuff. Why is that so bad? They made the other actors on the set laugh - it was especially awkward when Cary Elwes who played Westley, busted out laughing when he was supposed to be mostly dead. Not only that, they made the director, camera men, and other people working behind the camera bust out laughing too, and that made everybody else in front of the camera lose it. Eventually Rob Reiner, the director, had to get everybody off set and do most of the filming from soundproofed boxes. With such drastic measures in place, the 5 actors managed to cobble together some working footage that is funny but didn't make anybody crack up while the cameras were rolling. That story makes me think, maybe if this is the take that didn't make anybody laugh, is it the worst one?

I believe Mandy Patinkin injured a couple of ribs trying to keep himself from laughing during Crystal's improv. Powerful stuff, that improv.

How Cary Elwes did not blink during the "To the Pain" monologue always is something to see. Great pick of movies!

Fun Fact 1: Peter Faulk's last line "As you wish" was done as a "pick-up shot". Meaning that for one reason or another, sound or lighting, or camera focus.... they had to REDO the whole shot IN ONE TAKE. ONLY, when they did it, Peter Faulk had NOBODY to work off of. All you had was Peter, the Director, ONE camera man, ONE lighting guy and ONE sound guy. And yet, the line is delivered with ALL the love that a Grandfather could have for their Grandchild with such calm, and ease, that it actually has far more impact than possible for such a simple line. Fun Fact 2: Andre the Giant wrestling career-mates were so AFRAID of this movie because they thought that it would do nothing but make fun of Andre and make him look like a complete fool. HOWEVER, the way the character is actually portrayed in the movie had so many direct "similarities" to how Andre was in REAL LIFE, that they LOVED the fact that millions of Andre's "wrestling fans" would now see him in a completely new light and know HIM AS A PERSON far more than "just a wrestler". Fun Fact 3: Andre was so PROUD of this movie, that for a few years, the WWF (Later WWE) had a contract with the air-lines that they used that stipulated that this movie had to be shown AT LEAST ONCE PER FLIGHT, or they would lose the WWF contract. (Meaning for every flight the WWF took, this movie was shown at least once, sometimes 3 times depending on Andre's mood... or the air-line would lose MILLIONS in revenue from lost "charter flights") Fun Fact 4: For DECADES, this movie was considered to have "One of the best sword fights in movie history". Something that might not be seen as "the best" today, but is STILL studied by Stunt crews WORLD WIDE for inspiration.

30:24 that laugh warms my heart because back when I was a kid, I completely lost it at this scene out of how hilarious I thought it was.

Inigo gave Count Rugen the same wounds except the belly wound. The last wound he gave him was in his heart, which was the first wound that the Count gave Inigo when he killed Inigo's father. Basically Inigo gave the count all the same wounds in reverse.

I had a creative writing course in college and the professor loved William Goldman. Marathon Man came up a lot but he really liked to go on about The Princess Bride. This man had all kinds of info and even a first printing of the book. The movie hadn’t come out yet so I went to the bookstore and bought a copy. The book was everything he said it was and more. Two years later the movie came out and I was there laughing my ass off. The casting was perfect, top to bottom. My favorite of course was Mandy Patinkin. I was a fan of David Letterman and he would rush into the studio with his “Broadway emergency,” and grab Paul Schaefer. Silly stupid comedy bit, Dave’s Late Night Show was all about that kind of thing. The Princess Bride is one of the top films in my collection. I have it on VHS, DVD, Blu Ray, and I guess I need to get it for streaming.

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.

Princess Buttercup (Robin Wright) plays Jenny in the movie FORREST GUMP. It's one of the greatest movies ever. 🤞✌️

You have to remember she has not seen or heard him for 5 years. Yes she remembers him but the image would be faded.

At the twenty-fifth anniversary reunion, parts of which were filmed, Robin Wright confessed her main frustration with the filming - that the script called for so many interruptions just as Cary was leaning in for a kiss.

Inigo was in the revenge business for so long he doesn't know what to do, and our hero says he'd make a great Dread Pirate Roberts. Roberts' ship is named Revenge...

In the movie Inigo kisses the miracle pill before he gives it Westley. That little bit is enough to cure the wounds from Count Rugen. It may have been mentioned before but Miracle Max was played by Billy Crystal. The theme song was written and played by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits.

Its always funny to see people watching this film for the first time. It takes them awhile to get used to the mix of humor and drama in the film and the quirkiness. I love this movie. I was a kid when the film came out and with years of meme'ing quotes from this movie, before meme'ing existed, it makes me nostalgic. Literally 70% of the lines in this film are memeable.

My mom showed me this movie when I was a kid and I've loved it ever since. 🔥👍🏼

I probably have watched this movie at least 20 times ever since I was a kid and I just now realized this. Inigo spent his whole life trying to get revenge for his father only to then not know what to do with the rest of his life. When he becomes Dread Pirate Roberts he inherits Roberts' ship: Revenge.

This was a truly great movie. I highly recommend Cary (Westley) Elwes' book "As You Wish" about the making of it. Its a good read. Apparently they all had a lot of fun making the movie. When Count Rugen knocked Westley on the head with his sword hilt, it was unconvincing because Christopher Guest didn't want to hurt Cary Elwes. Cary insisted he hit him more convincingly and Christopher accidentally over did it and knocked him out for real. That was the take they actually used in the film. Cary wasn't faking!

Everyone I’ve seen react to this movie is always surprised that Buttercup doesn’t recognize Wesley. It makes sense to me. It’s been five years. Half his face is covered and he is acting completely different.

Plus she probably never knew what his speaking voice sounded like, since he never said more than "as you wish."

Great reaction to this timeless classic. The best thing about this movie is that every actor's character was memorable. And i love the scenes wirh Wallace, Mandy and Andre. Comedy gold.

Absolute perfect film. I hope they don't ever remake this film. Would be a crime. The cast is perfect. Story is great.

A few years ago they were talking about doing a remake, and when they asked Cary Ewles his opinion it is reported that he said "There is a shortage of perfect movies in this world, it would be a pity to ruin this one."

1:57 Buttercup is played by Robin Wright, best known as Jenny in Forrest Gump. Wesley is Cary Elwes who has been in many things including the parodies 'Hot Shots' and 'Robin Hood: Men in Tights'. 22:35 If i was an evil prince and I managed to marry someone a beautiful as Buttercup I would wait until after our night together before killing her. I have seen many reviews of this movie, but never a bad one. Everyone loves it. The 'reading the good bits' style means it has great pacing, no padding that does not drive the plot. The casting and acting are great as well.

Inigo gave a good luck kiss to the pill they bought from Miracle Max, just before they gave it to "The Man in Black." This is the reason Inigo wasn't killed by the stab wound to his belly - it should have been a mortal wound, but not only did it not kill him immediately, he immediately began to heal from it. By the time he finished killing Count Rugen it appears that all he had was a bit of residual soreness. Yep. Miracle Max is THAT good. And BTW, the thing that actually killed Rugen was being stabbed in the heart with the same sword Rugen had used to stab Inigo's father in the heart. That was the killing blow, not the stomach wound.

You probably heard the "mawiage" bit from Michael Scott in The Office. Great reaction. 👍 👍

I'm in my 50s, and I loved this movie growing up! Somehow my sister had never gotten around to seeing it, so a couple of years ago, I sent her the DVD for her birthday, and she watched it. I was amazed when she said she hated it! 😳 (I know .... "inconceivable!") She said that she could see how she might have enjoyed it as a kid, but as an adult, it didn't hold up. Maybe she's right ... we'll never know. I do think that if she had seen it as a kid, she would love it now just like the rest of us do!

The priest in this one reminds me of when Ted Danson's character played one and stalled the wedding in Three Men and a Little Lady. The PERFECT movie.

38:56 I think the best word to use to describe how you feel is pastiche. It is a humorous homage to the traditional fairytale story.

I love your reaction! This is truly a classic movie, one of the best. It's campy and full of jokes and a whole lot of heart. The gags are all so well timed, every one is good for a laugh. Another gem of a movie in the fantasy adventure genre is Stardust, with Charlie Cox and Claire Danes.

Humperdinck seems to provide amusement but it's a real name. Engelbert Humperdinck was a German composer (1854-1921). His sister Adelheid wrote the libretto for his opera "Hansel & Gretel". It's also the stage-name of Engelbert Humperdinck, a British pop singer who is now in his 80s. Wallace Shawn, the "inconceivable" man, provided the voice of Gilbert Huph, Mr Incredible's boss at Insuricare.

Loving your “gentle touch “ reaction style, thanks so much for this one🤗 subbed and looking forward to more 👍✨

Love your reactions - you have a very calming presence - ❤

I love watching reactions to this movie, and I love how so many of them react to Dread Pirate Roberts talking about masks saying "I think everyone will be wearing them in the future" by sort of turning to the camera with a look as if to say "Ah...about that..."

Congrats to the editor, who kept all the best parts of the Miracle Max scene.

One of the few movies that has ever come close to perfect Truly great honoring of Fairy Tale genre

Great reaction to what is still my favorite movie ever, and I'll always stop and watch it. Hundreds of views and I still tear up at the grandfather's "As you wish." Inigo's fate is always a concern for people. I found out, and we see in the movie, that Inigo's survival is because he basically tasted the miracle pill before force feeding it to Wesley, and that taste gave him a touch of the miracle and kept him alive and functioning instead of dying from the thrown dagger and the other wounds. And yes, I loved that he gave the baron every single wound that he had received from him. Perfect justice. And Mandy Patinkin's story of what he was feeling during that scene just ups the intensity and the feels knowing the story. Having lost my own father to cancer last year, I can understand the anguish he felt. When my best friend was getting married in '93, I was best man, our other good friend Alan was a groomsman, and Brian, the bride's brother, was the other groomsman. Alan, Brian and I were standing in place feeling bored during the rehearsal while the priest is talking to the couple, and then out of nowhere Brian said "Mawwaige" which caused the three of us to start laughing hysterically, as we are all obviously fans of the movie. The difficult part was the next day, during the ceremony itself, when none of us could make eye contact with each other because if we did we were going to all start laughing thinking of Brian's "Mawwaige." comment the day before. Most. Difficult. Wedding. Ever. 😀

We love this movie so much. Liked your reaction. When we tuck the kids in at night I often quote "Good night, sleep well, I'll most likely kill you in the morning."

Ah, the Dread Pirate Rob. Portrayed in the game Kings Bounty as an undead skeleton captain with dreadlocks in the Carrribean.

Shortly before they filmed the scene between Inego and the 6 fingered man Mandy Pitenkens (inego) died from cancer. When he delivered his i want my father back you SOB his thoughts were of his real father which is why that deliver is dripping with emotion.
