Sir Percy has the best expressions "Sink meh!" "Odd's fish" and my favorite "What is it you frenchies say? Touche?" lol he's so smooth and fun to watch!

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder sir percy ." "Well this beholder is enchanted." Damn thats some good stuff

Percy "Hm....giant basket, check. Date with the beautiful Marguerite, check. Rescue another from Madame guillotine, check...Sink me! What a marvelous day!"

I love how when Percy insults his clothing, he looks all self-conscious XD

Anthony Andrews gives a performance of Sir Percy almost exactly the same as Leslie Howard's in 1934. He is a magnificent actor.

"The pleasure I can assure you, is all mine... mon-sewer." HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Love Percy!!

Oh, gosh.... I came here all "Oh, Leslie Howard, Leslie Howard! No one can replicate the perfection of your performance!" and truthfully, his Scarlet Pimpernel is still absolutely amazing; but... I think I'm falling head over heels for this Mr. Andrews... :)

"You see, I'm a bit of a poet... and you did not know it - WHAT!" LOL

Well, this has been most _amusing_ Sir Percy

anthony andrews is completely brilliant. this is exactly how it should be.

I love how his voice changes when he's around Marguerite.

My heart....dictates the pace! Ahh, I love it!

Ian McKellen's portrayal is brilliant, how only good manners keep him from strangling Sir Percy at the spot. Barely concealed exasperation. :)

+Motoruven Every time I watch this movie (It's my favorite- I read most of the books) I think the same thing. Well, not exactly the same thing, but I have taken note of his acting style and really like it.

I love it how he kisses her, looks up, and then goes back to kissing :D

I was thinking to myself, watching that scene, I bet Anthony Andrews is a great kisser. Mmmm😌

I have loved this movie for years, and though I 'replaced' my VHS copy with a DVD years ago, I still own both. I came here just to be able to quote a part correctly, but am overjoyed to see so many other people loving this movie.

Now that's a great guy. Courts a gal and saves people at the same time. Class :D

This movie is always a great remedy after a crappy day.

Ah guys like Sir Percy are non-existent today

My friend is obsessed with this movie.

It's gonna be hard to hate Chauvelin, when he looks so much like a young Gandalf. :) And very good-looking too!

Percy's voice cracks me up but his character is great

Walks into the room like he owns it.

I watch one or two parts of it everyday. When your personal life falls apart? Enjoy a fantasy.

It is good fun

The what he adds at the end of his I'm a poet and you didn't even know it is brilliant because it's so modern and out of place which makes it seem so funny.

I cant stop laughing whenever andrews is speaking in that dry foppish high-bred english drawl LOLOLOL

Listen to Percy's dialogue in 2:55 - if that is not a seduction by words, I don't know what is! Brilliant.

That damned wonderful, Pimpernel! Touche!

@jimbrown257 It is "Sink me." It's a phrase sailors first used, short for "Sink me to the devil." So many awesome catchphrases in this movie...

"Sink meh"' I love that line,I don't know if Percy ever sad that in the book since I've never read it but that should be his catchphrase.

I'm currently looking through classic literature to become a better writer. I found this movie to be much easier to understand. I love how Percy is pretending to be such a fop.

A harpsichord plays at every Percy entrance. How very English!

I find it interesting how they made Marguerite and Armond more well off in this version. They may not be aristocrats but she's the toast of Paris and he's a rising political star!

Scarlet Pimpernal - top tier troll

Bolshevism described in one scathing sentence. Bravo, Percy!

00:59 "I ASK you...!

ODDS FISH! I want that basket!

i love percy's character

what is this feeling, so sudden and new. . . He felt it them moment he laid eyes on you (Percy) POOR CHAUVELIN!

I love me some Sir Percy. As for Touche?😂🤣😂

@stitchgrl777 In the novel it does say that they spent time together alone, outside of society, where he behaves naturally.

Johnny Depp and Russel Brand PALE in comparison to Anthony Andrews!

Some how I can see, where characters like Bruce Wayne, and Don Diego Viego, Also known as Zorro, are similar to the Scarlet Pimpernel. It's awesome. :D

"Better recognize!" Ah, when times were simpler :))

anthony was so beautyful,

Jane Seymour is wearing a curly afro ! You go white soul sista lol.

Well, if you think about it later in the movie Marguerite says that "Now he acts the fool in private as well as in public." So, obviously he acts different when they're alone.

The way Chauvelin is in trouble at the end of this almost makes me feel sorry for him. Almost.

at first I was wondering how the actress lady couldn't notice the aristocrat that was smuggled in the carriage... then I thought who wouldn't when you are on a date with Anthony Andrews!

good acting, how he can be so bold in one minute and the next moment he acts so "gayish" at time. but he did a good job hiding his identity.

Mon sewer.. haha! Anthony's the best

Cozypillowx: Whoever u r, I

I can do a spot on impersonation of Percy lol

Richard Armitage would make an excellent Scarlet Pimpernel!

8:15 they look so happy!

I love Percy

lol i love the way 'a seat on the committee' changed everything

Love it

It's been so long since I've read the book. I'll have to pick it up again. My dad has a 1909 copy of it! He keeps it locked up safe and sound. :)

fantastic

If that abomination is a " republic " I'm Frida Kahlo.

I like how he kind of used her to get past the gate...but if it's Percy...then it's OK.

Holy Crap it's Ian Mckellen

What does he say at 6:15? It sounds like "sink me". Whatever it is it's awesome; I think I am going to start saying it. Just like he does too, with the long gutteral noise at the end of every sentence.

@Trueme92 I absolutely love that bit too! Watched it way too many times,lol

@landofashes seriously it's so outlandish i can't stop giggling, but not in the way he probably meant it to be laughed at

GANDALF!

Uncle Ian is gonna more than compensate as Erik. And Michael will help.

chief agent of national security has three accounts!

Guys, we should be taking notes😅

2:38-3:00....ah,swoon!

If he doesn’t flirt like Sir Percy Blakeney then I don’t want him

(Oh, forgot, "Tie my cravat in that new style, check"

Sink me! It's "Maximum Paranoia Agent" Robespierre!

Luckily, he keeps courting her in a more passionate way, afterwards. I doubt at that point he has fully won Marguerite’s heart. Yes, Percy is funny and even witty, in that scene… but chivalrous ? And yes, Chauvelin is a treator and doesn’t stick to his word, but at that stage, Marguerite isn’t aware of it, yet.

."Sink me"

@aDieuSeul Or I should say 'behaved' naturally, past tense :P

Well who doesn't?!

one thing i don't get isn't marguerite supposed to meet percy "as percy" and not as the fop first? here, she sees him flip flopping back and forth. doesn't that ruin the whole point of her finding out that he's acting at the finale of the story?

Mon sewer hahaha! XD

Time frame 2:05 to 3:16, if that interchange would not get a woman interested in you, then see is a lesbian.

It's him sarcastically saying "Oh come on!" or "Oh please" -- 'sink me' is literally referring to the likelihood of him physically sinking to his death before he would accept Chauvelin's preposterous suggestions -- especially regarding men's fashion. It's a British eccentricity - which, taken from my experience with British upper class, has been that the wealthier a person is in high society, the more eccentric and idiosyncratic they tend to behave...that's what makes Percy's disarming use of these eccentricities so brilliant... it's the perfect disguise for his heroism. In fact, I once met a business man who was instrumental in negotiating the release of Nelson Mandela. He was part of a covert operation to see Mandela go free, and relied on similar tactics to remain clandestine in South Africa during this major political unrest.

the lines are wonderful can't say the same about the acting i'm afraid

Somethings going on i know there is!!! Oh i can't wait Until the end

are you kidding?? the way he talks is hysterical. hysterical i tell you.

I don't see how he could be trying too hard. He is British. Plus he is supposed to sound kind of stupid.

Gosh, Percy's accent gets on my everloving nerves!

What's with the "citizen" business? It should be "citoyen" for men and "citoyenne" for women

I can already see this isn't going to fallow the book. but The Pimpernel saved so many, why not just tell new stories.

It's also based on more than one of the books.

Robespierre is cooler in the 1999 one, here is looks and behaves too normal!

Oh, my. My introduction to Sir Percy was Richard E. Grant. I fell in love with him immediately. This is truly nauseating. I'm sorry I found it. Even Ian Mckellen couldn't make it watchable.

He is trying to hard with the accent

@ethanaverton7287

Dude. He's British. And the foppish over the top accent is meant to be idiotic...notice the way he immediately changes his voice when he's speaking to Marguerite in private; he becomes sincere and straightforward. THIS is what makes his vocal choices as an actor so compelling! It's all a grand charade, which plays directly into the drama of Marguerite's deliberation as to who the real Sir Percy is; the idiot or the heroic, sincere statesman.
