When they screened the final cut of this movie for the cast and crew, Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya) said he cried at the end. When his wife asked him why he was crying, he said, “Because this is the best movie I will ever be in.”…or something to that effect. It is a truly special movie and, although he has played many good roles since then, as have the other actors, honestly, I think what Mr. Patinkin said was true for them all. This thing, simply, is a masterpiece.❤
There’s an interview with Cary more recently and he says something like, “It’s odd to think but when I die people will say, ‘Westley’s dead.’ Like, I’ll probably have Mostly Dead written on my tombstone.” Isn’t it crazy to be able to know what your life’s work will be before you’re even gone?
That's fitting for him. He has/had a reputation in Hollywood for leaving any series he was in that were popular. He would just leave, whether he was written out or not and at the peak of their popularity. He truly must've mean it and thought of this movie comparing his future projects to this movie.
There's a whole sequence in the book where Fesik and Inigo collect the ingredients for the miracle pill. Fesik has to go to a fire bog to get one and borrows the (fire proof) holocost cloak to do so. Since it actually fit him Miracle Max let's him keep it. It's the only cut from the book that causes confusion.
What a great reaction Kahla... Your suspension of disbelief -- "I didn't know MOSTLY dead was a thing." for example -- allowed you to enjoy this film as you should, imo. Radiating enjoyment like an adult-kid would!
“He is not the State Farm boy you once knew”- 💀🤣💀🤣 You, miss, are so beautiful and so smart and this is such a wonderful reaction. It makes me feel like I’m watching this movie for the first time.
I used to watch this movie on repeat when I was a kid and as I got older and understood more of the humor and story, it has stayed one of my favorite all time movies. Really glad you enjoyed it.
Wonderful reaction, Kahla! This is my first time on your channel, and I'll definitely be back! Did you know that the actors playing Wesley and Inigo Montoya ACTUALLY DID THE DUEL THEMSELVES? They rehearsed it every day for MONTHS, and when it came time to film it, they did it BRILLIANTLY. Also, this is by far William Goldman's best screenplay, based on his book. He told the story of how he was on the Fire Swamp set and when the flames hit Buttercup's dress, he (the writer), started SCREAMING, "HER DRESS IS ON FIRE!" The associate producer took him aside and said, "Bill, try to remember--her dress is SUPPOSED to be on fire..."
You did such a great job with this reaction! You were infectious and fun like always, the edit was really well-done, just all around it was a blast to watch. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you for your wonderful reactions. The screenplay for "The Princess Bride" was adapted from his own novel, by the late William Goldman. He wrote the novel for his daughters when they were very young. His other works are notable, as well - "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969) from his original screenplay, and "Misery" (1990) where he adapted the screenplay from Stephen King's popular novel and reunited with director Rob Reiner ("The Princess Bride") once more. I also enjoyed Mr. Goldman's "Marathon Man" (1976), a thriller adapted from his own novel.
Adding to this: The novel is a loving parody of the classic adventure novels Goldman read as a kid, mainly the ones by Rafael Sabatini (many of which were made into swashbuckling adventure movies). Which is how the movie also does things - it's a loving parody of the movies _based_ on Sabatini's novels, complete with Westley being a mix between Zorro and Errol Flynn's characters.
@@snorpenbass4196 Adding further, part of how Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin prepared for the duel was watching old swashbuckling movies like Zorro and Errol Flynn movies.
I'm almost 40 and The Princess Bride is such a family favourite that I don't remember the first time I watched it. When Inigo says that he wants his father back, I still get chills. And ever since I heard the story about Mr Patinkin's dad, I can't watch that scene without tearing up.
I love this movie so much. It's honestly one of my favorite love stories of all time. I think it's amazing how even though the film is bit predictable, but the humor and way the events unfold in the story is so clever that you're never actively thinking about that throughout the entire story. Great reaction.
So glad you got to see this! It's one of the greatest movies ever made. So many quotable lines, so many laughs, and so much heart. Believe me, it is worth rewatching many times.
My sister-in-law is a HUGE fan of this movie and quotes it constantly. I was able to in her own wedding, get the pastor to use the word mawige when he began. Everyone who knew her (including her) had huge smiles on their faces. It was perfect.
I'm happy you enjoyed this gem. And now you share the happiness so many of us have with it. This is from Rob Reiner. He also did This is Spinal Tap if you haven't seen it yet.
One of my all-time favorite movies. I loved seeing it in the theater when it came out. And then subsequently read the book, which is also amazing. Great reaction!
@kahla reacts btw have you heard of the British singer Engelbert Humperdinck? not super famous, but well known, and he's been a singer since the late 50s.
The way you say you don't like the way Humperdinck says her name, Buttercup, is funny. For some reason it always reminded me of the rap band, Onyx's first album which was titled Bacdafukup🤣
Oh, how I LOVE this movie! When I was a jr & sr in highschool, I actually went to this weird program where we were basically in college instead; we lived in a dorm on a college campus, but were treated more like we were in juvie. But we got to hang out in our dorm common room for part of each night, and we all watched & rewatched a handful of movies that we had (on VHS). This was one of them. I've probably watched it at least 50x by this point, probably a lot more! 30 years later, I still have pretty much every single line memorized!!! 🥰❤❤❤
I'm always thrilled to find another movie reactor watch this film for the first time. I LOVE this movie, it's perfection in my eyes. And I never get tired of seeing people discover it and appreciate it. Thank you!
Loved your reaction to one of my favorite movies of all time! Thanks for enjoying it so much, Kahla. 14:40 -- Ironically enough, drinking from the bottle is the choice that would have saved Vizzini. You're smarter than him and you didn't even know it! 21:45 -- "He does not look well." In part, that's because he's an albino. Although I'm not sure that explains the crusty-looking stuff around his mouth. 26:35 -- I'm not sure how Inigo knows about this. My personal theory is that Fezzik heard rumours while on the King's Brute Squad, and related them to Inigo off-screen.
Saw this as a child too, Oh man... What a movie.. Truly a Gem Murder by Pirates is good... " Wha wha what," hahaha.... I hate waiting oh god.... Marriage, your reaction holy crap... God this movies priceless. Good classic movie
Mandy Patinkin, who played Inigo, lost his own father from cancer right before this movie. Ever since I found out that information, the way he delivers his line at the end to Rugen gives me shivers.
Kahla, I've seen dozens of reactions to this awesome movie and they have been very entertaining. I think i love yours the best. You seem to get movies the way they are supposed to be got. I'm here for the long haul and if you decide to do patreon im there. Can't wait to see you again! A+++
This is the first reaction of yours I've seen and I am subscribed! I feel like I'm watching a movie with my best friend; I love how into the movie you got!
I saw this film on the big screen at university when it was new. I loved it then and have loved it every time I've seen it since. However, I do still worry about how many innocent people Wesley may have killed during his time as the Dread Pirate Roberts!
Remember this is the kids imagination while grandpa is reading to him. Casting Andre the Giant was absolutely genius. If any kid in the 80s had to imagine a giant it would have been him. And why the prince was so ridiculously dressed.
the book "the princess bride" by william goldman is about how the book "the princess bride" by s. morgenstern doesn't actually exist, but the love parents have and the magic they make for their children can be very, very real. and a really long section about different kinds of hats. the movie "the princess bride" directed by rob reiner is a movie based on a story about a book that doesn't exist, in the world of the book or in ours.
I definitely had that moment. 😂 I ended having to cut 10 minutes from original cut of this reaction because it kept getting blocked for copyright. I had to cut this scene (and a few others) way more than I wanted.
@@kahlareacts That's just the weirdest thing - it's a reaction video using clips from the movie, but _those_ reactions kick off the Copyright alarm? ⏰ TH-cam video creation is clearly more arcane than I thought. I've got to give it a try one of these days, just to find out. Thx for making this, it's great fun to watch!
Not everyone gets this movie, I’m so glad you do. I loved your reaction. I showed this movie to my cousins and they sat stone faced. I couldn’t believe it. lol.
if you haven't you should watch Ella enchanted where Cary Elwes plays uncle edger aka " isn't it obvious i am going to kill you I'm not hiding I'm captain evil mcbadnasty."
You're delightful to watch! I had to subscribe. Kudos on your editing! SO many reactors cut lines in half or leave out the punch lines. It is HELLA annoying! Have you ever viewed The Crow? It's been my favorite movie since it came out, 30 years ago this year. No other movie has come close in all that time. It's especially moving, because the lead actor, Brandon Lee (son of Bruce Lee) was accidentally killed by a mishandled prop gun, which had the tip of a dummy round (fake bullets) wedged in it. When they fired the gun with blanks, the tip acted like a real bullet, and hit Brandon. He died when there were about 8 days left of filming for the movie, after which he planned to fly to Mexico with his Fiancée, Eliza, and get married. They ended up finishing it with body doubles and CGI-ing Brandon's face onto the doubles. For more on the story of Brandon Lee's death, there's a great channel called "Well...I never, Stars" that talks about it, without spoilers. But it's such a beautiful, dark, gritty movie, based on a graphic novel of the same name. it has THE BEST movie soundtrack of all time. (Fight me!) Also, it doesn't hurt that Brandon was extremely attractive, imo. He had such potential. He should have been Neo in The Matrix, no hate on Keanu, mind you. I hope you'll consider watching it. Oh, and his real death is not in the movie, regardless what some urban legends say. Some other movie suggestions-Knight's Tale, Clue (based on the board game), Labyrinth, pretty much all of the Spiderman movies, especially the first ones and the Indiana Jones first three films.
In my opinion, this is the closest to a perfect movie ever created. There is literally only one part of this movie I never liked: when Westley raised his hand to backhand Buttercup.
So you're telling me that there are people who have *not* seen this movie?? Next thing I know you'll all be telling me there are those who have never seen Labyrinth. 😮 Also, not sure if you included this scene 'cause I've only just started watching (he's getting ready to duel Iñigo Montoya), but the scene where Iñigo battles Count Rugen always impressed me; years later I found out that Mandy Patinkin was able to give such an emotional performance because his father had just died from cancer, so he imagined Rugen as the cancer. "Hello. My name is Iñigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." 😭
Thank you for a great reaction to The Princess Bride! Btw, the comedian actor who plays the long-winded religious marriage officiant with a speech impediment was Peter Cook, a wickedly clever British icon. In contrast with this role, he had co-authored the script for the 1960s movie, Bedazzled, (with his regular comedy partner, Dudley Moore) in which he played the devil. Here's a clip from that film, about the sin of pride, that features both Peter Cook and Dudley Moore (who were half of the original Beyond The Fringe comedy troupe)... th-cam.com/video/7v9nzfYZAFk/w-d-xo.html
Any Christopher Nolan film is a good choice! Also, Band of Brothers, and other mini series! (If you do stuff other than movies) John Adams is a good one too!
You seem to like comedy a bit. I recommend the following (all of which are absurdist comedy): Airplane! The Naked Gun (there's three of these, all worthwhile) Top Secret! Blazing Saddles If you manage to get through those without laughing, you'll be impressive _and_ have done yourself a disservice... and possibly have bust something inside. The exclamation points in those two movies are part of the title, I didn't add them. I'd recommend Spaceballs, too, but... well... you need to have seen some other movies to get the most out of it, namely Star Wars (all three movies of the original trilogy), Alien, Planet of the Apes (1968), and the Wizard of Oz, as well as being aware of Star Trek (the original series, just being aware of beaming) and Indiana Jones (a poster will do).
I'd really like you to react to the movie Legend (1985? By Ridley Scott) if it's possible. 🥺 It's free to watch on TH-cam right now (the best version of it too, Tangerine dream version!) it's a fantasy romance with some action and comedy and it's my FAVORITE movie. It has Tom Cruise and Tim Curry star in it. 😊 The special effects makeup in it still holds up well to this day.
This movie is the anti-fairytale: Prince Charming is the villain, the pirate is the hero, the giant is gentle, and the emotional revenge story with the climactic final battle is given to the first henchmen knocked out at the begining.
@kitrichardson9916 the "gentle giant" trope is an inverse of the expectation which is that they're a danger, which dates back centuries to stories like Jack and the Beanstalk, the Odyssey, David and Goliath, and really anyone on the battlefield who's over 6'5".
@@kitrichardson9916 Did it really take less effort to type that than to look up the definition? a: a word or expression used in a figurative sense : FIGURE OF SPEECH b: a common or overused theme or device : CLICHÉ It was added to the Oxford English dictionary in 1975. But, oh those crazy 60 year old kids and their hippy disco slang, hard to keep up with I'm sure. The tvtropes website was founded in 2004, 20 years ago.
"Who are these stunt people who had to roll down the hill like this?" It was actually the same man who did it for both. They filmed the shots of "Westley" going down the hill first and he then went up the hill again, put on a dress and wig and did it all again.
@@riaglitta There's a TH-camr whose posted a video of him finding all the filming locations used in the film, most of them, including that hill, are in the Derbyshire Peak District. One part of the valley side really is that steep, they filmed it on a lesser slope and filmed them lying at the bottom of the steeper slope.
This was apparently Fezzik (Andre the Giant’s) favorite job he ever did, because nobody was gawking at him. They filmed in England in the fall and winter, and poor Buttercup (Robin Wright) was really cold in her red dress. So Andre would put his giant, hot hand on top of her head to keep her warm. His back was so messed up, that he couldn’t catch Robin when she jumped into his arms. She was completely on wires so as not to hurt him. He said he loved eating lunch with everyone in costume because he was able to blend in. He hung out mostly with Miracle Max (Billy Crystal) and Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin.)
There are so many great stories from this filming. If you haven't done so yet, I'd recommend checking out Cary Elwes (Wesley)'s book he wrote about the whole ordeal. Its fascinating how many great stories came from one movie's set.
Of course Wesley and Inigo are polite to each other. Just because two people are going to try and kill one another doesn’t mean they can’t be civil about it. I even used one of their(slightly modified ) lines on my future son in law the first time he came to pick up my daughter. “You seem a decent fellow. I’d hate to kill you.” And he knew the movie and answered back “You seem a decent fellow. I’d hate to die.” That’s when I knew he was ok.
I love how, when he's telling the story about his father and the six fingered man, Inigo just hands his sword over Wesley (the guy he's supposed to fight to the death), and after examining it and complimenting the workmanship, Wesley gives it back to him. They're so respectful and, as Fezzik would say, sportsmanlike.
Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya) has said that this role enabled him to kind of symbolically fight the cancer that took his father IRL. LIke, it was therapeutic. It adds this whole layer to his performance & to his most famous line.
I also love the six fingered man played Nigel in "This Is Spinal Tap" who's amp went to eleven. His fingers go to eleven, as well, in this lol Rob Reiner directed both. 🤘🏼✌🏼🤪
Robin Wright (Buttercup) tells a really wholesome story about Andre The Giant. She says that the crew went horseback riding one day in the countryside when they had a break from filming. They got caught in freezing rain on the way back and he noticed her shivering. She says he rested his enormous hand on her head like a hat, she said it both warmed her up and kept the rain off surprising well, but it also made her feel safe and protected.
Andre was a giant among men, in heart and body. Most people dream of the strength he possessed, but he spent most of his time worried about accidentally hurting people and so he was careful around them. His strength allowed him the privilege of kindness. He was born big, but it was his heart that made Andre a true Giant.
I watch a lot of Princesse Bride reactions (thank you algorithm) and this was by far one of the best reactions to this movie I've seen. You caught little things a lot of reactors miss and just overall were a pleasure to watch.
This movie wasn't a box office hit when it came out. Years later Carey Elwes was at a restaurant and ordered a burger the waitress asked how he'd like it cooked and he said medium well and she replied "as you wish"
Your's might be my favorite reaction to The Princess Bride. I once thought I was interested in this cute girl, but when she said she didn't like The Princess Bride, I knew it would never work out.
@@kahlareacts And if you watch it again you will notice that Mandy Patenkin uses a Spanish accent for everything but, when he says "I want my father back you sun of a bitch!" he is delivering that without an accent. That is one of the things that makes it so powerful.
I think you meant that Mandy Patinkin’s (Inigo Montoya) father had actually passed away in real life not long before they shot the movie so Mandy was still in pretty deep mourning. That’s why the scene feels real.
@@kahlareacts The actor's father died of cancer when he was a kid, and when they shot that scene where he finally kills the six fingered man, for one moment it felt not just like he'd actually killed the thing that killed his father, but also that his father was back. There's a short little clip here where, quite a few years later, he talks about it and his experience. th-cam.com/video/IGgjJ6IlH6U/w-d-xo.html
A classic movie that didn't get enough attention when it first came out. I've seen it many times and I'm still finding new lines or things to appreciate about it.
Did you ever read the book? It's really fantastic! My stepsister recommended I read it, and I did and loved it. Not long after that, I went to a movie and saw a preview for this film! As soon as I got back to my dad's house I ran to my stepsister and yelled "GUESS WHAT?"
@@DravenGal I read the book about 10 years before the movie came out. The first time I saw the movie, I HATED it. It has since become one of my favorites, but the book was just so WONDERFUL.
@@russellclaycomb146 It was, and full of details, like how they came into possession of the holocaust cloak. But I loved the movie too. A large part of that love was drooling over Cary Elwes, though. Boy, did his appearance change! It took half the movie before I recognized him in Saw!
This movie taught me 1. Never start a land war in Asia and 2. Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line
But he was inconceivable
3. Don't f with America's boats.
That is only slightly less well known...
And Kahla's reaction taught me you have to save money for revenge. 😄
@@jamesjones7526 Or figure out a way to monetize it. Like an only fans for revenge.

Miracle Max's scene was entirely ad-libbed by Billy Crystal & Carol Kane
The scene kept being ruined because Wesley (who is supposed to be dead) kept laughing during takes.
"Entirely?" Certainly not, a _lot_ of that dialogue is straight from the book.
@@collymorpheous8575I may be wrong but I think I remember hearing he broke a rib from laughing so hard in this scene 😂
‘That extra turn was just for the razzle and dazzle!’
There's a whole sequence in the book where Fesik and Inigo collect the ingredients for the miracle pill. Fesik has to go to a fire bog to get one and borrows the (fire proof) holocost cloak to do so. Since it actually fit him Miracle Max let's him keep it.

And I'm glad she didn't laugh at the "guide my sward" scene, as so many young reactors do.
A truly perfect movie. Not a line wasted, everything is quotable. A perfect family movie, date movie, action movie, romance movie.
The people who like this movie, love it. A charming fairytale. Nice to see you enjoyed it.
When Peter Falk says "As you wish" at the end, I always cry!
I love that Vizzini actually solves the riddle (he can't drink either goblet), but then talks himself out of it.
“He is not the State Farm boy you once knew”- 💀🤣💀🤣
You, miss, are so beautiful and so smart and this is such a wonderful reaction. It makes me feel like I’m watching this movie for the first time.
And your voice is enviable. Such a great and beautiful voice. Sultry.
Ok, ok. I see. He's not the same Farm Boy, he's a State Farm boy. That's why he's such a good neighbor, and shows up unexpectedly.

@kahla reacts btw have you heard of the British singer Engelbert Humperdinck? not super famous, but well known, and he's been a singer since the late 50s.
The funniest part of that is that he originally had a normal name and changed it to Engelbert Humperdinck to help his career - which it did!

the book "the princess bride" by william goldman is about how the book "the princess bride" by s. morgenstern doesn't actually exist, but the love parents have and the magic they make for their children can be very, very real. and a really long section about different kinds of hats. the movie "the princess bride" directed by rob reiner is a movie based on a story about a book that doesn't exist, in the world of the book or in ours.
Everyone should watch this movie.
I’m glad the algorithm pixie brought you to my feed… what a great reaction to one of the best movies of all time. I’ll be seeing you again!
A CLASSIC 👀🍿
AS YOU WISH.......
Around 8:00 I was waiting for the requisite cry of ''hey, that's ____ !!''
I definitely had that moment. 😂 I ended having to cut 10 minutes from original cut of this reaction because it kept getting blocked for copyright. I had to cut this scene (and a few others) way more than I wanted.
@@kahlareacts That's just the weirdest thing - it's a reaction video using clips from the movie, but _those_ reactions kick off the Copyright alarm? ⏰
TH-cam video creation is clearly more arcane than I thought. I've got to give it a try one of these days, just to find out.
Thx for making this, it's great fun to watch!
Not everyone gets this movie, I’m so glad you do. I loved your reaction. I showed this movie to my cousins and they sat stone faced. I couldn’t believe it. lol.
I love this movie. But your reactions were almost as good. 😂
Fav movie of all time
Great commentary to a great film. Beautiful and funny (and the movie isn't bad either).
if you haven't you should watch Ella enchanted where Cary Elwes plays uncle edger aka " isn't it obvious i am going to kill you I'm not hiding I'm captain evil mcbadnasty."
Ella Enchanted was actually one of my favorites when I was a kid. I don’t know why didn’t think of it while watching this.
Thank you for the greatest reaction to this movie ever.
You're delightful to watch! I had to subscribe. Kudos on your editing! SO many reactors cut lines in half or leave out the punch lines. It is HELLA annoying!
Have you ever viewed The Crow? It's been my favorite movie since it came out, 30 years ago this year. No other movie has come close in all that time. It's especially moving, because the lead actor, Brandon Lee (son of Bruce Lee) was accidentally killed by a mishandled prop gun, which had the tip of a dummy round (fake bullets) wedged in it. When they fired the gun with blanks, the tip acted like a real bullet, and hit Brandon. He died when there were about 8 days left of filming for the movie, after which he planned to fly to Mexico with his Fiancée, Eliza, and get married. They ended up finishing it with body doubles and CGI-ing Brandon's face onto the doubles. For more on the story of Brandon Lee's death, there's a great channel called "Well...I never, Stars" that talks about it, without spoilers. But it's such a beautiful, dark, gritty movie, based on a graphic novel of the same name. it has THE BEST movie soundtrack of all time. (Fight me!) Also, it doesn't hurt that Brandon was extremely attractive, imo. He had such potential. He should have been Neo in The Matrix, no hate on Keanu, mind you. I hope you'll consider watching it. Oh, and his real death is not in the movie, regardless what some urban legends say.
Some other movie suggestions-Knight's Tale, Clue (based on the board game), Labyrinth, pretty much all of the Spiderman movies, especially the first ones and the Indiana Jones first three films.
best movie ever. I have the book and always lookin for the sequel buttercups baby.
In my opinion, this is the closest to a perfect movie ever created. There is literally only one part of this movie I never liked: when Westley raised his hand to backhand Buttercup.
I can't wait to watch you react to the mystery comedy Clue! (1986)
Nicely Done You 👍✨ I enjoyed your reaction Very Much 🤗💕
So you're telling me that there are people who have *not* seen this movie?? Next thing I know you'll all be telling me there are those who have never seen Labyrinth. 😮
Also, not sure if you included this scene 'cause I've only just started watching (he's getting ready to duel Iñigo Montoya), but the scene where Iñigo battles Count Rugen always impressed me; years later I found out that Mandy Patinkin was able to give such an emotional performance because his father had just died from cancer, so he imagined Rugen as the cancer. "Hello. My name is Iñigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." 😭
Thank you for a great reaction to The Princess Bride!
Btw, the comedian actor who plays the long-winded religious marriage officiant with a speech impediment was Peter Cook, a wickedly clever British icon. In contrast with this role, he had co-authored the script for the 1960s movie, Bedazzled, (with his regular comedy partner, Dudley Moore) in which he played the devil. Here's a clip from that film, about the sin of pride, that features both Peter Cook and Dudley Moore (who were half of the original Beyond The Fringe comedy troupe)...

Watch When Harry Met Sally next! 🥰
"Anything you want!"
"I want my father back!"
Great reaction.
Be sure to watch Star Wars: Andor
Any Christopher Nolan film is a good choice! Also, Band of Brothers, and other mini series! (If you do stuff other than movies) John Adams is a good one too!
I HIGHLY recommend the 80s teen comedy "Just One of the Guys"...I think you'll love it! ❤️ 🎬👍
I'm still waiting for my true love as well.
"Fezik, you did something right!" Why you gotta disrespect him like that?
Hey, you're my new favorite reactor Kahla! You're beautiful, you're funny, and you have interesting things to say!! So count me in!!! 😉
You seem to like comedy a bit. I recommend the following (all of which are absurdist comedy):
Airplane!
The Naked Gun (there's three of these, all worthwhile)
Top Secret!
Blazing Saddles
If you manage to get through those without laughing, you'll be impressive _and_ have done yourself a disservice... and possibly have bust something inside. The exclamation points in those two movies are part of the title, I didn't add them.
I'd recommend Spaceballs, too, but... well... you need to have seen some other movies to get the most out of it, namely Star Wars (all three movies of the original trilogy), Alien, Planet of the Apes (1968), and the Wizard of Oz, as well as being aware of Star Trek (the original series, just being aware of beaming) and Indiana Jones (a poster will do).
You are very perceptive. Excellent reaction!
If you want a fun movie suggestion, you need to watch "Greedy". It stars Michael J Fox, Kirk Douglas, Phil Hartman, and MANY others.
Is that not the same outfit Terry Jones wore in 'The Bishop'?
I'd really like you to react to the movie Legend (1985? By Ridley Scott) if it's possible. 🥺 It's free to watch on TH-cam right now (the best version of it too, Tangerine dream version!) it's a fantasy romance with some action and comedy and it's my FAVORITE movie. It has Tom Cruise and Tim Curry star in it. 😊 The special effects makeup in it still holds up well to this day.
27:48 My most favourite line in the whole movie "You are the brute squad."
I just found your channel, but your reaction to the "Mawwiage" is all I needed 😭💕
"MWARWWAGE. THAT DWEEM WITHIN A DWEEM"
This movie is the anti-fairytale: Prince Charming is the villain, the pirate is the hero, the giant is gentle, and the emotional revenge story with the climactic final battle is given to the first henchmen knocked out at the begining.
Wait a sec. You didn't know that giants are gentle?? Lol
There's a reason why there's a "little" term known as the Napoleon Complex. Haha! 🤣
@kitrichardson9916 the "gentle giant" trope is an inverse of the expectation which is that they're a danger, which dates back centuries to stories like Jack and the Beanstalk, the Odyssey, David and Goliath, and really anyone on the battlefield who's over 6'5".
@@kitrichardson9916 Did it really take less effort to type that than to look up the definition?

It was added to the Oxford English dictionary in 1975. But, oh those crazy 60 year old kids and their hippy disco slang, hard to keep up with I'm sure.

"Who are these stunt people who had to roll down the hill like this?"
It was actually the same man who did it for both. They filmed the shots of "Westley" going down the hill first and he then went up the hill again, put on a dress and wig and did it all again.
And then spent the rest of the day soaking in a hot-tub, I should think.
A bit of Princess Bride trivia I actually didn't know. Thank you!
@@sanityisrelative Same
And a bit of camera trickery, as the hill is not quite THAT steep, but still a big hill not to sneeze at.
@@riaglitta There's a TH-camr whose posted a video of him finding all the filming locations used in the film, most of them, including that hill, are in the Derbyshire Peak District. One part of the valley side really is that steep, they filmed it on a lesser slope and filmed them lying at the bottom of the steeper slope.
This was apparently Fezzik (Andre the Giant’s) favorite job he ever did, because nobody was gawking at him. They filmed in England in the fall and winter, and poor Buttercup (Robin Wright) was really cold in her red dress. So Andre would put his giant, hot hand on top of her head to keep her warm. His back was so messed up, that he couldn’t catch Robin when she jumped into his arms. She was completely on wires so as not to hurt him. He said he loved eating lunch with everyone in costume because he was able to blend in. He hung out mostly with Miracle Max (Billy Crystal) and Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin.)
Hearing her voice break when she tells that story always hits me hard.
I did not know that. Thank you
There are so many great stories from this filming. If you haven't done so yet, I'd recommend checking out Cary Elwes (Wesley)'s book he wrote about the whole ordeal. Its fascinating how many great stories came from one movie's set.
That’s my dad’s all time favorite movie.
@@nathancruz9172Mine too (hell, my whole inner forearm is dedicated to a tattoo inspired by it). Sounds like your dad has great taste.
Of course Wesley and Inigo are polite to each other. Just because two people are going to try and kill one another doesn’t mean they can’t be civil about it. I even used one of their(slightly modified ) lines on my future son in law the first time he came to pick up my daughter. “You seem a decent fellow. I’d hate to kill you.” And he knew the movie and answered back “You seem a decent fellow. I’d hate to die.” That’s when I knew he was ok.
That reminds me of the friendly hairstylist I once met, who was strongly opposed to color change. He seemed a decent fellow, but would hate to dye.
@@0okamino *Groan*
@@0okamino DAD JOKE ALERT!!!! And kudos for it.
That's awesome 👌
Cute 😊
Since the invention of the movies, there have been 5 movies rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind.
One of the 5 wittiest and best comments in all of YT.
I love how, when he's telling the story about his father and the six fingered man, Inigo just hands his sword over Wesley (the guy he's supposed to fight to the death), and after examining it and complimenting the workmanship, Wesley gives it back to him. They're so respectful and, as Fezzik would say, sportsmanlike.
I like to think that this is the moment when Wesley decides not to kill him.
"Get back, witch!"
"I'm not a witch, I'm ya wife!"
🤣🤣🤣
This movie's amazing.
My wife and I echo that exchange fairly regularly 😂
Humperdink! Humperdiiiiink... Humperdink Humperdink Humperdink!
But after what he said, she might not want to be that anymore.
@@notreallydaedalus mine got the t-shirt and it hangs on the back of the door.
Who says she can't be both, lol
The line "I I would sooner destroy a stained glass window than an artist like yourself."is so good
It truly is. There are so many gems in this movie.
Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya) has said that this role enabled him to kind of symbolically fight the cancer that took his father IRL. LIke, it was therapeutic. It adds this whole layer to his performance & to his most famous line.
The line, “I want my father back, you son of a bitch” always makes me teary cuz my dad died of cancer and I know what Mandy was going through
Mandy says that he improvised that line with the feelings he had regarding his father and how he wanted him back.
@@Greybeardmedic I can tell, the way he says it
Yeah, that was badass. Cancer is a terrible thing.
He made a great tiktok going into detail about it and I sobbed watching it.
The pirate ship is named The Revenge, which means Indigo will still be in the revenge business. Took me years to make that connection 😔😂
I didn't put that together!
I was today years old when I got that! Thanks! Lol
oh my gosh I never realized that! What a fun thing
I also love the six fingered man played Nigel in "This Is Spinal Tap" who's amp went to eleven.
His fingers go to eleven, as well, in this lol
Rob Reiner directed both.
🤘🏼✌🏼🤪
Robin Wright (Buttercup) tells a really wholesome story about Andre The Giant. She says that the crew went horseback riding one day in the countryside when they had a break from filming. They got caught in freezing rain on the way back and he noticed her shivering. She says he rested his enormous hand on her head like a hat, she said it both warmed her up and kept the rain off surprising well, but it also made her feel safe and protected.
Andre was a giant among men, in heart and body. Most people dream of the strength he possessed, but he spent most of his time worried about accidentally hurting people and so he was careful around them. His strength allowed him the privilege of kindness. He was born big, but it was his heart that made Andre a true Giant.

@@fezzik7619 Ah, thank you. I'll fix it.
I watch a lot of Princesse Bride reactions (thank you algorithm) and this was by far one of the best reactions to this movie I've seen. You caught little things a lot of reactors miss and just overall were a pleasure to watch.
Agree 100%.
@@sourisvoleur4854 Absolutely. She respected the movie, and didn't go out of her way to try to be all edgy and cool making fun of it.
This movie wasn't a box office hit when it came out. Years later Carey Elwes was at a restaurant and ordered a burger the waitress asked how he'd like it cooked and he said medium well and she replied "as you wish"
Your's might be my favorite reaction to The Princess Bride. I once thought I was interested in this cute girl, but when she said she didn't like The Princess Bride, I knew it would never work out.
I think that’s a completely reasonable standard to have. It would put a damper on your relationship.
@@0okamino more of a damper than if either of us were scaling The Cliffs of Inanity
Having children with such a woman would be.... inconceivable :D
Dodged a nuke with that one, my guy.
Worth waiting for the right one, true love doesn’t happen every day 😊
The actor playing Inigo's father had recently died and he channeled it so well that the actor playing the 6 finger man was actually getting scared.
Oh, wow! That explains why that moment is so powerful and holds so much conviction.
@@kahlareacts And if you watch it again you will notice that Mandy Patenkin uses a Spanish accent for everything but, when he says "I want my father back you sun of a bitch!" he is delivering that without an accent. That is one of the things that makes it so powerful.
I think you meant that Mandy Patinkin’s (Inigo Montoya) father had actually passed away in real life not long before they shot the movie so Mandy was still in pretty deep mourning. That’s why the scene feels real.
@@kahlareacts The actor's father died of cancer when he was a kid, and when they shot that scene where he finally kills the six fingered man, for one moment it felt not just like he'd actually killed the thing that killed his father, but also that his father was back. There's a short little clip here where, quite a few years later, he talks about it and his experience. th-cam.com/video/IGgjJ6IlH6U/w-d-xo.html
Mandy's father had passed away in 1970 when he was 18.
One of the best last lines in the history of the movies.
I was going to say that but you beat me to it.
Have fun storming the castle!
Think it’ll work?
It would take a miracle
Just don’t go swimming for, at least, what… an hour?
A classic movie that didn't get enough attention when it first came out. I've seen it many times and I'm still finding new lines or things to appreciate about it.
This movie will definitely be in the rotation for when I need a good laugh.
@@kahlareacts This is the perfect Sunday afternoon movie.
Did you ever read the book? It's really fantastic! My stepsister recommended I read it, and I did and loved it. Not long after that, I went to a movie and saw a preview for this film! As soon as I got back to my dad's house I ran to my stepsister and yelled "GUESS WHAT?"
@@DravenGal I read the book about 10 years before the movie came out. The first time I saw the movie, I HATED it. It has since become one of my favorites, but the book was just so WONDERFUL.
@@russellclaycomb146 It was, and full of details, like how they came into possession of the holocaust cloak. But I loved the movie too. A large part of that love was drooling over Cary Elwes, though. Boy, did his appearance change! It took half the movie before I recognized him in Saw!
