The Princess Bride reaction & commentary
BillyBinges The Princess Bride commentary • The Princess Bride Is ...
For Stef, the first time watching The Princess Bride turned out to be a great time and im. glad we could share this first time with you.
This is one of those movies that we were absolutely always going to do a movie reaction & commentary video for. The question was really just when. Because there were a few requests, the answer is now. Obviously. Imagine if you were reading this and the time was actually like next week lol. Hope you guys enjoy this one and maybe consider sticking around for more commentary & reaction videos in the future!
80s tees is a cool online store where Sam and I buy some of our t-shirts that have official designs for movies, tv shows and music. The designs are sick and the shirts are great quality, plus you get free shipping anywhere in the world for orders over $50 usd. Would highly recommend 😁

God... you guys suck so hard..... Thanks.
Thanks my guy! We appreciate you 😆🙏
Any feedback is good news so Thank you good sir. Be well. Peace my dude.
@@themoviebudz1988 😂😂😂😂
Masks are terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.
2020: Challenge Accepted
Everyone got chills hearing that line...
Oh man, yeah. So weird hearing that line this year. Chills were definitely had - Sam
No it should be
2020: As you wish..
No it should be
2020: As you wish…
The amount of times I've said "Do you want me to send you back to where you were?! UNEMPLOYED… in G R E E N L A N D" to my friends
Would you say the amount of times you've said it is... inconceivable? 😂
@@themoviebudz1988 omg I can’t believe I didn’t think of that 😂😂
I can't believe you said Westley looks like Prince Charming from Shrek 2 at the beginning but you didn't realize that tall Lord Farquaad was right there smh
But seriously, this movie shaped my entire personality.
I am legit ashamed I didn't catch that comparison 😅
@Lindsey Squire same though
Jesus, Westley's head isn't _that_ f**ked up haha
Humperdink’s actor is the voice of Jack Skellington. The 6 fingered man’s actor is married to Jamie Lee Curtis. Buttercup’s actress is Jenny from Forrest Gump. So much talent.
Oh yeah, this movie had an insane amount of talent. Even Billy Crystal as Max. I honestly think it’s an underrated movie 😊 - Sam
NOOOO!!!! Why did you have to ruin that for me!!! I love this movie and I always hated Jenny!!!
...and Rob Reiner directed it.
@@allisonbeattie4738 shes also the female lead in House of Cards
@@EmbassyNerdcore I never watched house of cards so that doesn't bother me 🤷♀️
Random theory: Westley said that he spent the last few years building up an immunity to Iocane powder, but where would he get it from? Answer: The dread-pirate Roberts. Which is why he always told Westley he’d “most-likely kill him in the morning”, because he was putting a tiny amount in his morning brew (wether that be coffee or alcohol is up to you) without telling him about it until he retired.
Westley *probably* wouldn’t tell Buttercup that part to keep her from freaking out since they were already stuck in the Fire Swamp. 😅😂
Interesting
People seem to forget this was based on a book. The book is just as good as the movie! What’s crazy is the guy who wrote the book made up a huge backstory with a fake author and pretended the book was some kind of lost manuscript. Talk about dedication to storytelling.
Wow, I didn’t know that! I think Tolkien did the same thing with the Lord of The Rings and Hobbit books - Stef
The book is my favorite of all-time. I absolutely love the film, but the book is even more special. I’m glad Goldman was also the screenwriter for the film; it was a pitch-perfect screen adaptation.
What's hilarious is that I actually thought I had read an abridged version of the story for YEARS, until someone clued me into the fact that it was just the narrative framing of the book 😭
ive read it, its almost word for word the same as the movie!!
This really is a classic. The real men in this movie had honor, and didn't like the idea of being "unsportsmanlike". This film touches everyone, because we've all had that phase of knowing what chivalry and true love was, even if we were too young to actually understand it. Watching this, we are all, for 90 minutes, able to believe that this world exists.
Thank you for reacting to it and not belittling the way you felt.
Cheers man, we really appreciate it. I agree, some might call it corny but I love stories like this because they have an inspiring kind of magic to them. Glad I finally saw it 😊 - Stef
This just makes me wanna see your guys reaction to Ella Enchanted haha. And then THAT reminds me of Stardust which is just a phenomenal movie! And another good one to react to!
They're both on the list but I've only seen Stardust. They should be pretty fun 😄 - Stef
@@themoviebudz1988 Cool! And I hope so! The reason I bring up Ella is because the actor playing Mr. As You Wish here has a role in Ella Enchanted as well :D I love your reactions too btw, y'all are so fun and engaging! Its hard, for me personally l, to find reactors like that, that I enjoy ^^ so thanks for making content.
Ella Enchanted the book was better
I love stardust, and the book it's based on is one of my favorites, but I don't know that I would call it a phenomenal movie. It's so stupid in the best way! Would love to see a reaction
Ella Enchanted is a TERR8BLE movie. The book is great, but the movie is a waste of time.
“If you were actually dead, that would stop you. I bet money on it.”
“You might lose that bet.”
Great foreshadowing!
Oooh! I didn't even notice that! - Stef
When they "knock out" Westley they actually had to knock him out giving him a concussion because they didn't think any of the times they faked him falling over looked "real" enough
God damn, talk about method acting 😂 - Stef
I watched this movie for my film studies class. My teacher said, “This is what you call a masterpiece. The only good movie any of you will see for the rest of our lives… that and LoTR.”
We have to sign a contract at the start of the year that we won’t slander any of his movies. That if you slander LoTR that he’ll just kick you out of the class.
@@janiyahl.9456Hahaha, nice. I imagine he has a different take on The Hobbit films, though! 🎥
Ohhhh how I wish and hope they do a commentary on Robin Hood: Men in Tights!!! it's soooo good and wonderfully aware movie!!
I've heard that one is really funny. I'll add it to the list 😁 - Stef
YES!!!!!!!!! 😄
A missed opportunity to say: "Lend me your ears!"
“Deceitful vaginas” made me laugh myself into an asthma attack, lol. You guys are great ❤️
When my hubby and I got married last year our celebrant (a friend)surprised us by starting the ceremony the same way, it was amazing.
Aww, that's so sweet ☺ - Stef
Wow!
You guys crushing over young Carrey Elwes is such a mood, and I'm here for it hahaha
12:10 I always thought a good alternate line to "They were both poisoned", would have been: "Neither cup of wine was poisoned. He poisoned himself when he followed my instructions to 'inhale carefully, but do not touch'!"
Also the creator of the silk road drug empire site used the name Dread Pirate Roberts because he loved this movie and wanted people to assume there were multiple people behind the website in-case he ever got caught
Wow. Interesting how cinema can affect real life like that 🤔 - Stef
idk why the cliff joke and the grandpa imitation had me laughing like that
Honestly, Stef’s grandpa impression had me cracking up while I was editing this 😂. Glad you enjoyed it! - Sam
The blood near Indigo’s shoulder was from one of the previous stab attempts when he first stood up!
Yeah... I think we may have talked over that part 😅 We do that sometimes lol - Sam
*Íñigo, not Indigo
I've known this movie by heart since I was a kid, the BOOK is even more epic!
Such a classic movie! I love it so much 😋 - Sam
The reason Fezzik was able to stay in the cloak while it was on fire for that short amount of time is because its fireproof; if you'll remember they distinctly called it a holocaust cloak that Miracle Max had
Omg, I have seen this a hundred times and wondered but never put those two together!
It’s incredibly interesting to the movie that at the time, Mandy Patinkin (Inigio) was losing his father to cancer
so a lot of Ingio’s father lines in the film had extra meaning
as well the actor saying during his fight with count Rogo (the 6th finger man) he envisioned it as him facing off against his father’s cancer
Seems to have elevated the entire performance quite high.
I'd pay money to watch you do the Twilight series...
No need to pay, we're absolutely going to do them 😁 - Stef
Why? Those movies suck hard!!
@@sweetkiss119 Think of the hilarious commentary though
@@sweetkiss119 that’s the fun part
During the sword fight, both use names like "Capo-Ferro", "Tybalt", "Agrippa", etc. These were the names of actual fencing masters during the 14th/15th century...the fencing moves have nothing to do with the historical teachers, but it was nice that they actually looked into the history of fencing and brought them up. As Inigo says he's spent 20 years studying fencing, if he had he would have been aware of the styles.
Sam: tells me to take a seat
Me: straightening my hair in the bathroom mirror drinking coffee and decidedly Not taking a seat 😤
Love you guys
Well... fine, don’t take a seat then 😢😂
Thanks so much Shannon! - Sam
OK, we're on a no copyright strike streak! Things are looking good. Next week will be Romy and Michele's High School Reunion and then Jennifers Body after that
Thats a real good sign 😅🤣
@@richmediafilms Yeah dude, our first 4 vids all had strikes. We had to dispute two just to get them posted 😂
Omg, if they ever do The Labyrinth I’ll die from all the magic balls jokes they’ll inevitably cite.
Got it on the list so magic balls jokes are pretty much inevitable 😆 - Stef
@@themoviebudz1988 I bet you've already seen it multiple times already, I know I have. But somehow I always manage to forget the weird song where they throw heads around. It catches me off guard every single time.
i love how he says "she doesn't get eaten by the eels.... AT THIS TIME"
Also, fun fact about this movie: Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits composed the soundtrack
God damn I love Mark. So silky. Not surprising the music in this is so good haha
But Willy DeVille wrote and sang Storybook Love which played over the end credits.
19:10 "He will come for me"
"Yeah...in a body bag" 😂😂 y'all lmaooo
(btw idk if either of you guys have seen it yet, but I feel like you guys would really enjoy the movie Stardust! it's got a star studded cast (robert deniro, claire danes, michelle pfeiffer, henry cavill, etc.) and it's got a similar vibe to this movie with the humour and plot twists, but with more fantasy/magic elements and also a little more recently made (2007). a super underrated movie!! would love to see you guys react!)
I have and I agree; Stardust is completely underrated. Definitely keen to do a video on it 😁 - Stef
OMG I loved that movie. I read the book because of it, and honestly I do like the change they made at the end. I thought it made sense logically within the world.
Found your channel just as you're uploading my favorite movie. Kismet.
Yes! Perfect timing haha. Hope you enjoy 😋 - Sam
@@themoviebudz1988 Incidentally there's a 1950's movie called Kismet that you guys should see. Not sure if you do films that old, but it's really fun.
Princess falls
“Oh ok...bye”
- iconic 😂😂👌👌
Yeah, haha, Stef had some bangers this time 😂 - Sam
the additional blood was from the additional injuries. When he was leaning against the wall, the 6 fingered man lunged, he was able to block enough to stop it from going in too deep but the sword still punctures him in the shoulder and the arm. The brilliance of that scene when Inigo finds his second wave of strength, he mirrors EVERY injury from the sword. Rogen first killed his father, then sliced inigo's cheeks when Inigo was a kid, then he punctured the shoulder and then the arm. In the first, Inigo goes for rogen's shoulder and arm, then his cheeks and then took his life, the way he had taken his father's. The only thing he doesn't mirror is the stab wound in the stomach but that was given with a dagger instead of a sword. He mirrored every injury Rogen ever gave him from the sword his father made for him, which is how I took it.
Damn, I totally missed all that while watching. Brilliant detail on the fight coordinators part. Makes you really appreciate how much thought went into every move 😄 - Stef
I saw this when it came out. It is literally my second favorite movie, behind the Wizard of Oz. I love this movie so much. It is ingrained in my being. I quote it regularly. It’s not inconceivable to fall in love with a movie. 😎👍🏻🎥🤘🏻🤓 also the MOST epic sword fight EVER!
This is one of my favorite movies and your reactions to it was just perfect. You guys should watch Clue if you haven’t, It’s absolutely hilarious!
This is from an NPR interview with Mandy Patinkin, the actor who played Inigo, and it's beautiful and heartbreaking:
"I would walk through the maze of the gardens while I was just trying to relax or while they were lighting the scene, and I was talking to my father, who had died not that many years before we made the film, and I always had it in my mind that if I could get the six fingered man, if Inigo could get the six fingered man, then my father, Mandy's father, would come back and be with me."
In the book the Pit of Despair is called The Zoo of Death.
Humperdink made it after his father got too sick for him to leave the country to hunt exotic animals so.. brought them there.
It has 5 levels each with their own theme
Speed: wild dogs, cheetahs, hummingbirds, etc
Strength: gorillas, rhinos, crocodiles, etc
Poisonous: Cobras, Jumping spiders, death bats (supposedly able to drain a persons blood with one bite.) etc
Fear: Blood Eagle, Shrieking Tarantula, etc
5th level: He planned on putting an enemy as deadly as himself there one day. He was unable to find one.. until Westley.
I saw this movie in the 5th grade (1993) and developed a major crush on Cary Elwes, so much so I started watching his work. Heck I even liked him in Quest for Camelot lol. This is actually my fav 80s movie. Interestingly enough his 90's movie: Robin Hood- Men in Tights is my fav 90s movie lol.
Zorro's ponytail was just the beginning of a top-knot 😂
That's right, style ahead of his time. Like an early 2010's male model 😂
mandy patinkin’s father had died of cancer a few years before the filming of the movie but it was indeed on his mind as he said his lines, u guys are great ive been bingewatching all ur vids, i appreciate you seemingly to pause while u comment so u don’t miss anything also have you seen the Faculty ? its fun
Thanks so much, bud! It's a bit of a balancing act between not pausing too much and talking over important dialogue sometimes though 😅 I had the faculty on dvd as a kid so I've watched it a bunch of times but Sam hasn't. We'll get around to it for sure 😊 - Stef
Holy donuts! I just realized Count Rugen’s fingers ‘go to eleven’! 🎸 🎶
“He’s like 300 pounds!” Maybe when Andre was 18 years old?
Shrek was not based on Andre the Giant. there are rumors out there that he was based on a different wrestler with the same condition as Andre from the 40s, named Maurice Tillet, but that's not confirmed either, as far as i can tell.
"why didn't you wait for me?"
"Bitch he's the fucking prince do you think I could have said no and not been thrown in a dungeon?"
Like did that never occur to him
I think this may have been the first video of yours I watched. Thank you for keeping me sane through Senior year.
The scene where the 6-fingered man knocks out Wesley, the actor was actually rendered unconscious by the hit.
I read about that! Apparently he woke up in hospital. Poor bloke 😅😆 - Stef
I've LOVED this movie ever sense it came out. And it only gets better with time. Great Post, Guys.
It’s a great movie 😊 thanks! - Sam
This is the thirdreview of The Princess Bride that I've watched, and you were the first to get the relevance of what the Dread Pirate Roberts says as he falls. All of you missed what the grandfather said at the end, though.
You mean when he says “as you wish?” We just cut it from the final edit. This isn’t meant to be a review or analysis. Just two guys talking trash about movies 🤷♂️ - Sam
@@themoviebudz1988 Not a complaint or criticism - it's just a little bit extra that's nice to spot if you do. Thanks for doing the video - it was great to watch.
All good man, glad you enjoyed it 😊 - Stef
Buttercup is the name of a flower - just like Violet, Rose, Daisy, or Petunia
I really recommend you guys watch Heathers if you haven't. I would love to see your reactions! xD
We haven't but it's on our list 😊 - Stef
A classic.
14:25 - Your grandpa impression was so perfect, it had me rolling! XD
Hey lads. I'm loving your reactions. I wonder if youd like a knights tale or ten things I hate about you? Both excellent films from heath ledger
Thanks so much dude! 10 things is on the list, for sure. Totally forgot about a knights tale, but I loved that movie back in the day so we can add that as well 😊👌 - Sam
One of my college roommates actually did fencing, and she told me that The Princess Bride is one of the very few movies that portray fencing moves correctly.
So Happy You Got To See This Classic!😵💫😱😂🥰🙆♀️👑💕
"Please consider me as an alternative to suicide" is the first line on my dating profile
A good way to weed them out.
Deadass you should watch the Phantom of the Opera (2004). I really want to hear the commentary on it. It is a musical but I just feel like your commentary on it would be hilarious.
I like the way you think bud. We'll put it on the list 😁 - Stef
@@themoviebudz1988 :o oh shoot thanks fam I didn't expect to get a response. I appreciate that :>
Vinciny literally said himself he couldn't trust either goblet, yet he actually drinks and dies. He over-thought it.
Sill bastard played himself - Stef
I gotta say i always had an inkling that Humperdinck and the six fingered man were gay for each other and not even in a cute way
It does make a lot of sense. Buttercup was just Humperdinck's beard all along 😂 - Stef
@@themoviebudz1988 That's the real reason he wanted to kill Buttercup
@@themoviebudz1988 Well, not even beard really. Because - "Humperdinck," from the way he talks about her, had NO intentions of even making their wedding official ( consumating their union ) before strangling "Buttercup" and blaming rival country Guilder for it.
I love this movie so much!
It’s a great movie 😋 - Sam
Man, this movie and the book have so much meaning to me. Great video guys, love watching y'all's's's reactions to my childhood lol
The book and film has this really good talent for milking story and movie clichés for all their worth and I love it.
Yay!! I've been waiting for this reaction and you did not disappoint. Great job!
I’m really glad you liked this one! Thanks so much 😊🙏 - Sam
There’s a line from the Princess Bride for everything in life. Me getting impatient: “Man and wife! Say man and wife!”
WOW I hadn’t thought about Marianas Trench in years, but then I saw your shirt. Thanks for the reminder😂🙏
Fun fact in this movie is another movie legend of an actor both films and theater. The actor who play the villain the king I think yeah is the one and only
CHRIS SARANDON
Chris played another ironic character from the iconicovie
THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
As Jack Skellington
He was also the one who played the cop in the first chucky childs play movie
And he was in FRIGHT NIGHT and Manu more
I can’t believe I’m only just seeing this I was really hoping for y’all to do princess bride!
i painted my sibling a little canvas poster thing that says "murdered by pirates is good" a few years back lol
You guys are just the best most wholesome utubers out there ❤️
15:31 It's also like Zorro because Alejandro Murrieta is started being Zorro when the old Zorro was too old, but the old Zorro taught him how to fence and charm
My all time favorite movie, thank you for doing a commentary on this~
I can´t believe that I had to go until I find the movie and watch it just to watch (and enjoy) your reaction properly... I'm still laughing... Thanks a lot!! And greetings from Chile :)
This movie made me laugh uncontrollably for some reason growing up, but I loved it so much. It’s such a classic for a reason
“Billy Zane, he’s a pretty cool dude.”
Zoolander. Nice 😆 - Stef
@@themoviebudz1988 have you guys seen Tombstone? If not that would be a great reaction.
@@themoviebudz1988 Billy Zane is in it.
have fun storming the castle is another classic line
Andre was wearing a ‘Holocaust cloak’
If you look when they are fencing, Inigo gets stabbed by the 6 fingered man in both arms when he’s still hurting, before he starts to feel better. He parries the killing blow, but gets stabbed in his arms.
Are Holocaust cloaks fire retardant?
Yeah, that makes sense haha, must have missed the stab to his left shoulder - Sam
The Movie Budz I’m assuming from the name ‘holocaust cloak’ and the fact that Miracle Max gave it to him that it was a magical cloak that was fireproof.
And yeah, he blocks a thrust to either side. He later gives the six fingered man the exact same wounds he himself received. The punctures to both arms & the scars on either cheek.
Damn... we totally missed those details. Like all great movies tho, we keep getting to learn about it as we rewatch and discuss 😊 - Sam
@@themoviebudz1988 I mean to be fair I think the cloak was only explained in the book. Which is a great read btw
Fezzik was wearing a "holocaust cloak" as mentioned in the previous scene by Wesley. The cloak will carry flame but not burn.
Yeah, guess we missed that bit 😅 - Stef
Far the swordfight sequences, the two actors spent every bit of down-time, and months before with champion swordsmen learning how to fence both left and right-handed. They wanted it to be as authentic "swash-buckling" as they could make it. One of the teachers had worked with Errol Flynn, when sword fights were very much in adventure movies.
She will be an Amazon general in Wonder Woman, of course she's hardcore.
In my top ten fantasy movies. Such a good cast and Mandy Patinkin is great.
You don't know how happy I am that you guys made a Final Space reference. No one I know has even heard of it
I always assumed the reason Fezik could take the heat was because the Holocaust Cloak was a magical thing that could stay on fire but not harm the person wearing it.
You should react to stardust. Also, I think Westley was kinda being blunt and mean writ her because he was still playing the role of the pirate
I love pairing this movie with Ladyhawke. Maybe y'all can check that one out too! The soundtrack is so very 80s.
0:07 "But you also stole my heart".
Please give him his heart back, Jake. He needs it. It's urgent.
Yes one of my favourite movies ever! I love this one, and great reaction. I grew up with this movie and it's so quotable and iconic. It's been called a "perfect" movie, because everything that gets set up is paid off, it balances the genres so well and is all round entertaining. collider.com/why-princess-bride-is-the-perfect-movie/
Yeah, I can get behind an argument like that. It’s one of my all time favourites as well haha. Always love when I see it get referenced in other movies and shows. Glad you liked our commentary for it 😁🙏 - Sam
Humperdinck is Lord Farquad in the flesh.
Stef your Peter Falk impression was really good 👍
When they were dragging him around when he was poisoned was the greatest
if you want another 80s movie you should check out jumpin jack flash. its my favorite movie of all time. Its a whoopi goldberg comedy. Its about a woman who works in a bank getting a message on her computer from a man asking for help.
Whoopi Goldberg getting caught up with secret agents and the KGB? Sign me up 😆 - Stef
How was there no commentary on Billy Crystals performance?!
How have I seen this movie a billion times and never considered the Humpercup name. Genius
OMG BILLYBINGES
Don’t ya just love it when all your favorite TH-camrs are friends?
That mock smolder was so funny! I had to watch it multiple times
That is not the way his look was interpreted in the 80s 🤣🤣🤣 in a world of Michael Praed mullets Westley's little ponytail was sleek and chic (granted we also loved Michael Praed)
Me watching Humperdinck and his torture dude “these bitches gay...good for them”
This comment made my day 😂 - Stef
Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straits) did the music.
Watch it 5 times, and you will be quoting it forever.
Just wanted to say that in the book Humperdink was going to marry the princess of the neighboring kingdom to unite their lands and while things were going well at first he found out that she was bald and refused to marry her and then began plotting a war because he still wanted her country. He picked Buttercup to be his bride because she was beautiful (according to the book Buttercup was the most beautiful woman in the world when the prince saw her and there were other women who held that title before her but lost it one way or another) and then he hired three men to kidnap to kill her so he could have an excuse to start a war.
You should do the Fifth Element 🤪
Fifth element is a fun movie haha, we’ll consider it for the future 😋🙏 - Sam
The Neverending Story.
Yeah, that’s definitely another one on the list. I have like 50 or so 80s movies I wanna do 😂
@@themoviebudz1988 Have you considered reacting to the movie Legend (with Tim Curry as the Lord of Darkness) If you do that one, I would recommend the theatrical cut. MUCH better than the Director's Cut. Also, Willow with Tom Cruise and Warwick Davis.
@@CeltycSparrow Val Kilmer, not Tom Cruise. :).
What’s so fun is this movie all takes place in the imagination of the boy.
That’s a good point, I never thought about it like that 😊 - Sam
@@themoviebudz1988 Actually, it's even funnier to imagine all of this being read in Peter Falk's voice.
@@beansfriend7033 Yeah, that actually is pretty funny lol - Sam
Buttercup is the name of a flower
Fair enough - Stef
