My wife and I say this to each other all the time. We also say “look who knows so much”, “anybody want a peanut?”, “my way’s not very sportsmanlike”, and so many other quotes from this movie.

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.

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

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.

After that, Shawn was fine doing the scene, because when Andre tells you he will keep you safe, you will be safe.

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.

They think that anything they are saying is much more poignant and witty than anything the film's writers or directors were trying to say. It becomes their goal to talk over dialogue and make up "punchlines" for every scene. There's a few reactors I used to really like, and over the course of a couple years, they became utterly unwatchable.

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.

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. 😂

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

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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. 😮

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Something to notice is that during the duel, Inigo stabs/cuts the 6 fingered man in the same spots he stabbed and cut him. Stabs him the same shoulder and arm, cuts his face like his, and then stabs him in the stomach like he did with the thrown dagger

We must remember, what we are watching is actually the imagination of the boy whilst listening to his grandfather. In the book the mask obviously made it impossible for her to recognise him and that the reader/listener gets a surprise as intended when he finally says "As you wish".

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.

When the Six-fingered Man hits Wesley on the head, Cary was knocked unconscious and taken to the hospital.

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

Great movie. Great video. Might be too late to suggest but "Planes Trains & Automobiles" would be great for Thanksgiving. One of the absolute best heartfelt comedies.

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

William Goldman, the actual author of the book, and the screenwriter, said he asked his two young daughters what they wanted him to write a story for them about. One daughter wanted a story about a Princess, the other wanted a story about a bride. The Princess Bride. Goldman is a brilliant screen writer., We read his first novel in high school in the 70s, "The Temple of Gold"...

Why does everyone say, "Is the grandfather Farm Boy?" and fail to remember that "As you wish" means "I love you." That is what the grandfather is saying to his grandson at the end. It always amazes me that people can not remember a simple plot point for 90 minutes.

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!

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!

We ALL want more movies like this. "There is shortage of perfect in this world. It would be a pity to damage yours."

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 ;-)
