When Peter Falk passed away they ran an "In Memoriam" tribute reel at one of the big award ceremonies and the final clip was him saying "As you wish" from the end of this movie. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.
You were right, they did model Lord Farquaad after Prince Humperdinck! As for the Zorro esque get up and facial hair, this whole movie is director Rob Reiner's homage to the Golden Age of Hollywood and the swashbuckling, adventure films he grew up on, with Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks etcetera.
Also Cary Elwes' memoir about this movie is great, I especially love the part about having to film the Miracle Max scenes. Billy Crystal and Carol Kane improvised so much and were so funny that Mandy Patinkin (Inigo) bruised his ribs by desperately trying to keep from laughing long enough to finish the scene.
When I was a 14 year old boy, my entire family went to see this movie against my strong objections. Now, if pressed to pick my single favorite movie of all time, it would be this one! And I can't imagine any other that could take it's place!
"INCONCEIVABLE." "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." Classic Adventure/Romantic/Comedy. Very few films come close to how awesome this movie is. Fun Fact: Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin performed all of their own sword-fighting after many hours of training. According to Rob Reiner, the only stunt performed by Elwes' stunt double was one flip during the "Chatty Duelists" scene. Bonus Fact: Despite his character Fezzik's almost-superhuman strength, André René Roussimoff's back problems at the time prevented him from actually lifting anything heavy. Robin Wright had to be attached to wires in the scene where Buttercup jumps from the castle window into Fezzik's arms because he couldn't support her himself.
“Ever since She couldn’t grab that pitcher, I knew she couldn’t do shit for herself” lmfao that’s the best reaction line I’ve heard for that scene and I’ve watched a lot of these. My favorite movie and very much enjoyed your reaction
Nonsense. (Sorry, but it is.) Of course she could have gotten the pitcher herself! But watch the scene again. The pitcher is hanging right over her head. Buttercup was giving Westley a reason (and tacit permission) to get close - VERY close - and he took full advantage of that permission. Buttercup is a lot smarter than some people think. How else was she supposed to express her interest in Westley? "Hey, Farm Boy! Let's go have a roll in the hay!"? The only thing Westley has ever said to her is "As you wish," not even "I love you." Buttercup must find some subtle way to tell Westley that she returns his interest, and this was a darned good one.
It's hard to tell sometimes, and, forgive me, but some men are seriously deficient when it comes to understanding female motivations. And the key word in that sentence is "some."
Christopher Guest, who played the 6-fingered man, is the brilliant talent behind movies like Best In Show and Waiting for Guffman. He's also been married to Jamie Lee Curtis for years, and is a member of the British aristocracy. And when Mandy Patinkin was duelling the 6 fingered man near the end, to channel the level of anger and revenge he imagined he was fighting the cancer that took his own father's life. Which is why the "I want my father back you son of a bitch" line was so fierce.
The Bog of Eternal Stench is from Labyrinth. "Did anyone get injured in this?" Yes! Cary Elwes received a knot on his head, from getting hit by the hilt of the sword. Rob Reiner -- the director -- had to leave the set during the Miracle Max scene, due to laughing so hard.
Cary also had a leg injury from an accident on Andre's 4-wheeler; had to limp in a few scenes. The sword hilt to the head, delivered by the 6-fingered man, resulted in some stitches and a momentary black-out.
Robin Wright stated that when they were filming a scene outdoors, she was getting cold, so Andre saw this and placed his hand on top of Robin's head keeping her warm. Andre was a legendary human being.
This movie wasn't a hit at the box office originally but Cary Elwes new this movie was going to be a classic. He was in a diner in NY after the opening and ordered a hamburger. The waitress asked how he would like it cooked. He replied medium rare, she said As you Wish
Yes, Miracle Max was played by Billy Crystal, and his wife was played by Carol Kane. Billy Crystal and Rob Reiner were good friends from All in the Family, and Crystal's friendship with Andre in this movie led to him making the movie "My Giant".
To answer your question about anyone getting hurt, yes. When Christopher Guest hits Cary Elwes in the head with the handle of his sword outside the fire swamp, he miss judged. Elwes was actually knocked unconscious. Not a stunt, but he also broke his toe borrowing a four wheeler from Andre the Giant.
It's the "perfect movie". There aren't many of those, but this one is absolutely it. Loved watching this with you through your eyes for the first time.
The thing to remember is that everything we are seeing is thought up by the boy. His visualisation of the words read to him. Its a great movie and loved your reaction.
Andre could drink (in one siting) A 24, two bottles of wine, a bottle of liquor, and still was sober enough to be designated driver. Once at a bar, a group of men harassed him until Andre lost it. He chased them to their car, then flipped their car when they wouldn’t get out. Then the drunk guys had to explain to a cop how an angry giant flipped their car. His biography is worth a watch.
The book this is based on is just a joy to read, it's like this with its quotable lines but even moreso. It's got a wonky frame story that's completely fictional that's meant to set up that this was a real book and a real legend, but the narrative bits are *chefs kiss*. You'll love Fezzik and Inigo twice as much after reading their backstories and further adventures.
Not only is the original book this was adapted from a corker, but 'As You Wish' - the memoir about his experiences making the movie, including injuries - by the guy who played Westley, is also very entertaining.
don't know if anyone else pointed this out, but regarding Andre the Giant's alcohol consumption: the affliction that caused him to grow so large also left him in enormous pain all the time. the heavy alcohol use was one of his ways to combat that pain.
This is definitely one of my favorite movies and I love this reaction!! It is such a quotable movie, I found myself repeating the lines as you watched it. I brought a shirt that has Inigo Montoya with his quote, you killed my father...and the joy I felt finding that shirt. Great reaction!!
The actor who plays Inigo said he used the anger he felt when his own father died from cancer to deliver the last “I want my father back, you son of a bitch” line. You can feel the intensity even more when you know the background story.
That’s the reason I haven’t been able to watch this movie - I lost my dad to cancer too, and this was one of his favourites. I still haven’t been able to listen to his favourite song either since he died.
If you've never scene "Real Genius" I would highly recommend it, it was in the 80's. Sorry not sure exactly the year. I was a teenager so it's a little fuzzy😂 Glad you enjoyed this one! Definitely a classic😎💞
If Inigo becomes Roberts, he’ll sort of be back in the _Revenge_ business, as that’s the name of the pirate ship. Whether or not you’ve seen _This Is Spinal Tap,_ you probably know the joke about the amplifiers that “go to eleven.” It’s Christopher Guest in the scene where that takes place. In _The Princess Bride,_ his fingers “go to eleven.” Rugen might have been a hell of a guitarist. 😄
The castle interior shots were filmed in an actual castle in England. Inigo and The Man in Black's sword duel at the beginning was performed 100% by the actors -- except for the gymnastics on the conveniently located bar they swung on. Andre the Giant had a very bad back (not knees); he could not do half the stunts going all-out; the stage hands had to build-in aspects of the feat that placed no pressure on Andre's back (stopping the portcullis, catching Buttercup who jumped from the window, et al.). Also, it was a double who rode out on the white horse at the very end.
16:01 Cary Elwes was legitimately knocked out here. They kept it in 'cause it looked so good. also, leaving this here as it is so worth watching. It is a remake of 'The Princess Bride' told in short chapters featuring celebrities at home during quarantine. th-cam.com/video/lR8pA_WV9QI/w-d-xo.html
This movie is one of my favorites. I do not think this is the greatest movie of all time, but I do think it is a perfect movie. It knows exactly what it is, and does not take itself too seriously, but does not fall in to folly. The writing is very good, and the actors took their rolls seriously and their performances were spot on. This movie is the ultimate romance but shoves in enough adventure and comedy that it is far from a chick flick. The director knew what he wanted from this and got it in spades. Pure perfection. I made this a required watch for both my kids as they grew up, and both thank for it today. Great reaction.
Regarding the fencing, my Dad was a national fencing champion, and he doesn't like the fencing in the movie. He thinks it's fine for a movie, cos it's spectacle and all, but that a real fencer wants to end the fight ASAP with minimal movement. It's not about how agile you are with the sword: it's about how efficient you are with it. Regardless, I think it's amazing.
This is one of my favorite movies ever. It is extremely quotable. There are just enough worrisome points to make sure it doesn't become a sugar overload. You should never discount the R.O.U.S.es.
Hey, just came across your channel. Great reaction, love that you enjoyed it so much. The actor that played Indigo Montoya, the swordsman, is Mandy Patinkin. I just love him. He was on Criminal Minds for a long time. Another movie he was in that is always overlooked, is 1990’s Dick Tracy, he plays the club piano player named 88 Keys. It stars Warren Beatty, Madonna (club singer), Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman and many many other familiar faces. The characters and costumes are over the top funny and it’s a great ride. I highly recommend it.
Welcome and thank you! I remember having Dick Tracy toys as a kid and I'm sure I saw parts of it but I would be down to react to that. It's been on my list for a while for one of my other channels. 😂
Mandy Patinkin is such a versatile and highly talented actor who has appeared in movies, on TV and on Broadway in musicals like "Evita." If you like science fiction, you might want to check out "Alien Nation," in which he plays an extraterrestrial detective partnered with the late James Caan.
When the six-fingered man bonks Wesley on the head had actually gave him a concussion! There were many stories about Andre on the set of this movie. When they were shooting it was very cool and he would put his hand on top of Robin Wright's head to keep her warm.
It's hard to believe that Robin Wright went from playing such a lovable character in this movie, to playing such a vicious, detestable one in "Forrest Gump". She's an amazing actress.
Just from top of head (pun not intended :p ), on whether there were any injuries. The one I remember is when Westley is knocked out by 6-fingered man. For one reason or other shot wasn't going like wanted, and ultimately the strike ended up landing /hard/ and knocked Cary out for real. EMTs involved etc.
Oh, and the other trivia - the guy playing Inigo had lost his father to cancer, and he drew on all the emotions from that when giving the 'I want my father back' line. By report, it terrified the other guy too.
Wow, those are cool to know. Getting knocked out like that seem so weird to me. 😂 Inigo's scene is more sad now but a great use of tragedy to elevate his performance!
Yes, it is Billy crystal, also Carol kane as his wife and yes, Jenny from forest gump. This was the movie my wife and I saw on our first date in 1987, got maried one year later, Watch it every anniversary.
Nice! Big Lebowski I haven't seen yet, but I reacted to Spinal Tap (which was awesome!) and Airplane is coming this week. That one I get why people love it but it didn't quite hit with me. Not sure why though. Still loved a lot of it though.
@@JayBondReacts Yeah I have all the Saws on my comp, I just never knew his name or looked him up on imdb. I was so used to his accent here and Dr. Gordon sounds nothing like that. Thanks for the info, I'll see him differently now. Great reactions btw, As you can see I'm making my way through your catalog. 😂
The music for this film came from Mark Knopfler, who is perhaps best known as the lead singer of rock band Dire Straits. Some of their hits included "Sultans of Swing", "Money for Nothing", and "Walk of Life".
On the set Andre apparently had a bad case of gas and let out a fart for almost a minute straight. Rob Reiner the director asked him if he was OK. Andre said "I am now boss". I laugh every time that story comes up.
Your commentary is great, keep it up! If you think the narrative structure is strange though, read the book. Before "meta" was a word, this should be the OG definition. The author of the book also wrote the screenplay, and the book has meta references about the fake author of the "original" book he adopted it from. William Goldman is a rockstar for making the only movie ever that was better than the book in the minds of people who were fans of the book. Edit: This movie is why I spent way too much time worrying about quick sand from ages 3 to ... Well im 41 and still have an irrational need to test sand before I step on it.
Thank you! That's pretty interesting. I love that! I kinda wish I read the book back in the day. Not certain I can get back into reading these days to be honest BUT if I do, I'd love to check out the source material.
Please please please look up the actors…Christopher Guest! Please look him up. The only thing I wish you would do. Guest has been in and created so many movies, plus he is married to Jamie Lee Curtis. You will begin to see the quotable quotes pop up now that you have seen this movie. Yes, Billy .Crystal and Carol Kane were in it too. Stellar cast!

@@JayBondReacts - it was an All Star cast. Robin Wright also was Frank's wife in House of Cards and the Aunt in Wonder Woman. Cary Elwes probably most popular for this although his Men In Tights appearance might be up there. Now-a-days he can be seen as the smarmy mayor in Stranger Things Season 3. Mandy Patakin (Inigo) is best known for Criminal Minds and Homeland (besides this movie). Prince Humperdink is also in Fright Night. Count Rugen is married to Jamie Lee Curtis. BTW, Wallace Shawn's character was killed by the poison which is why he wasn't at the end of the movie. Billy Crystal and Carol Kane are legends. You can find all sorts of interviews on YT with the Princess Bride cast. Oh and Rob Reiner has a ton of awesome movies that he has directed but he is also known as Meathead from All In The Family.
Jay, I can't get my wife to watch this film (my ex fiancé loved it) but everytime I mention Andre the Giant, she retells a story about when she was a kid and went to a WWE wrestling event with her stepdad and Andre about. landed on her during a match. He supposedly apologized to her perfusely like the extreme gentleman he was but she had no interest in ever going to wrestling event ever again.
@Jay Bond: Recommended - read the excellent recalling-behind-the- scenes-stories book by British actor Cary Elwes [ "Westley / The Man in Black ( Westley in disguise )" in the movie ] ( published in 2014. )
Love the channel. One of my favorite films in the world is 8MM. They just put it on Hulu. I'd love to see you do a reaction to that one, if you haven't already seen it. It has elements of a thriller, a horror and a mystery. IMO, it is Nicholas Cage's best work. I've seen it at least 15 times.
You're right, this movie is chock full of quotes. Inconceivable Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die! ... safe in the fire swamp The R.O.U.S? The rats of unusual size? I don't think they exist. (we have similar in Arizona - javelina) Want a peanut? Move the thing! And the other thing! The cliffs of insanity! My way isn't very sportsmanlike. You are the brute squad. The greatest thing in the world, except for a nice MLT, a mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich ... Life is pain. Anyone telling you otherwise is trying to sell you something. To the pain! You would make a wonderful Dread Pirate Roberts. As you wish. .... Yes, Buttercup is Robin Wright from Forest Gump and the wife from Unbreakable. Inigo Montoya is Mandy Patinkin. The slag alien from Alien Nation movie, brain surgeon in one of those trendy hospital series. The supervisor in Dead Like Me. He is the consummate character actor. This movie is full of them. Miracle Max is Billy Crystal and his witch wife is Carol Kane - Simpka from Taxi series and many, many more comedy parts. I don't know who the dungeon master guy is, but it feels like I've seen him somewhere.
Yuuup that's Jenny from Forrest Gump.. If I recall, you didn't point out in the review or just didnt fit in the vidoe but I'm sure maybe you might of recognized the actor who played Prince Humperdink, he was also the Vampire that moved next-door in the Original Fright Night!
@@JayBondReacts hmmm... maybe another one for list here or on the Blood Bath TV channel sometime... the original has a lot of the cheese and practical effects that helped make 80's horror so great Just sub to this channel last nite after finding out about it while watchn the Q&A on Bloodbath and Beyond.. 🤙
Nice, well welcome! Yeah, I tried to avoid posting it on BB&B and don't mention the other channels by name here just so it's kind of growing organically. Hope you dig the style!
Awesome man. Great movie and glad you started doing the ratings like 5 out 5. Would love to hear the fun ratings like you do on blood bath. Like 5/5 8 bit baseball games out of 5
We'll see, most of these movies I need time to process everything before rating it. If it's 5/5 that's probably when I'd give a rating, but I think I shot 4 videos that don't have ratings after this one. I'm sorry to disappoint haha
@@ohsfer11820 That one for some reason, I actually remember watching when I was young so unfortunately I can't do that one. But thank you for watching and the recommendation!
Nice, welcome! I like chill reaction vibes so my favorites are Jen Murray, Popcorn in Bed, Nox So Subtle, and You Me and the Movies. All of which are pretty low-key with very few over the top screaming moments.
@@JayBondReacts I enjoy all of those. (I'm a reactor junkie) If more chill reactors are your thing, Brandon Likes Movies and James Vs. Cinema are also excellent.
@@JayBondReacts Also, Movies with Mary is one you may enjoy as well. She a a Dutch law student. I enjoy multi-national reactors, and Mary is mild and thoughtful.
@@notmee2388 Yes! Brandon is great. I like his style and Mary is someone I check out often too! I just subbed to James though, so I'm new to him. I can't watch alot because everyone covers movies I haven't seen. 😂
I'm so glad you enjoyed the movie! Your reactions were perfect, and not to be weird or anything, but I found it endearing, adorable even. Such an amazing movie. I watched this movie in the theater with my friend Candy, and I think I peed myself laughing so hard. TMI? Maybe, but whatever, so good.

Billy Crystal and Carol Kane improvised so much and were so funny that Mandy Patinkin (Inigo) bruised his ribs by desperately trying to keep from laughing long enough to finish the scene.
That's amazing, I get it though. I was dying through that scene. "She's a witch!" 😂
@@JayBondReacts "Get back witch! . . . I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!"
As You Wish by Cary Elwes. Fascinating story of the behind the scenes happenings during the making of The Princess Bride. A must read!!!
And, all the fun he and Andre had off set. There should be a series parodying thier zany off screen adventures.
When I was a 14 year old boy, my entire family went to see this movie against my strong objections. Now, if pressed to pick my single favorite movie of all time, it would be this one! And I can't imagine any other that could take it's place!
It's a worthy favorite!
The same thing for me but I was 7. I wanted to see La Bomba. I was outvoted.
I have never been so happy to lose a vote.
Watching this movie through your eyes has been a total pleasure.

Andre could drink (in one siting)
A 24, two bottles of wine, a bottle of liquor, and still was sober enough to be designated driver.

also, leaving this here as it is so worth watching. It is a remake of 'The Princess Bride' told in short chapters featuring celebrities at home during quarantine. th-cam.com/video/lR8pA_WV9QI/w-d-xo.html
Sweet, thanks for sharing!
Of course she could reach the pitcher. She just wanted him to come closer.
It was a joke. 😂 I've mastered the art of deadpan.
This movie is one of my favorites. I do not think this is the greatest movie of all time, but I do think it is a perfect movie. It knows exactly what it is, and does not take itself too seriously, but does not fall in to folly. The writing is very good, and the actors took their rolls seriously and their performances were spot on. This movie is the ultimate romance but shoves in enough adventure and comedy that it is far from a chick flick. The director knew what he wanted from this and got it in spades. Pure perfection. I made this a required watch for both my kids as they grew up, and both thank for it today. Great reaction.
Wow, that was perfectly said. I completely agree with everything! Thank you for this.
Wish there was a "love" reaction option for this comment.
It saves me writing almost the same thing
Regarding the fencing, my Dad was a national fencing champion, and he doesn't like the fencing in the movie. He thinks it's fine for a movie, cos it's spectacle and all, but that a real fencer wants to end the fight ASAP with minimal movement. It's not about how agile you are with the sword: it's about how efficient you are with it. Regardless, I think it's amazing.
This is one of my favorite movies ever. It is extremely quotable. There are just enough worrisome points to make sure it doesn't become a sugar overload. You should never discount the R.O.U.S.es.
Hey, just came across your channel. Great reaction, love that you enjoyed it so much. The actor that played Indigo Montoya, the swordsman, is Mandy Patinkin. I just love him. He was on Criminal Minds for a long time. Another movie he was in that is always overlooked, is 1990’s Dick Tracy, he plays the club piano player named 88 Keys. It stars Warren Beatty, Madonna (club singer), Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman and many many other familiar faces. The characters and costumes are over the top funny and it’s a great ride. I highly recommend it.
Welcome and thank you! I remember having Dick Tracy toys as a kid and I'm sure I saw parts of it but I would be down to react to that. It's been on my list for a while for one of my other channels. 😂
Mandy Patinkin is such a versatile and highly talented actor who has appeared in movies, on TV and on Broadway in musicals like "Evita." If you like science fiction, you might want to check out "Alien Nation," in which he plays an extraterrestrial detective partnered with the late James Caan.
When the six-fingered man bonks Wesley on the head had actually gave him a concussion! There were many stories about Andre on the set of this movie. When they were shooting it was very cool and he would put his hand on top of Robin Wright's head to keep her warm.
Omg that's so cute. 🥺
It's hard to believe that Robin Wright went from playing such a lovable character in this movie, to playing such a vicious, detestable one in "Forrest Gump". She's an amazing actress.
Man, you and I remember Jenny very differently. She wasn't vicious and detestable. She was just broken and not all mental well.
Just from top of head (pun not intended :p ), on whether there were any injuries. The one I remember is when Westley is knocked out by 6-fingered man. For one reason or other shot wasn't going like wanted, and ultimately the strike ended up landing /hard/ and knocked Cary out for real. EMTs involved etc.
Oh, and the other trivia - the guy playing Inigo had lost his father to cancer, and he drew on all the emotions from that when giving the 'I want my father back' line. By report, it terrified the other guy too.
Wow, those are cool to know. Getting knocked out like that seem so weird to me. 😂 Inigo's scene is more sad now but a great use of tragedy to elevate his performance!
"Is he part of the Brute Squad?"
"I'm on the Brute Squad."
"You *ARE* the Brute Squad!"
16:02 this is where he actually gets knocked out and later wakes up in the hospital, so yeah Big Old Bonks indeed.
Stardust should be in your first section.
and Muppets in Space had Hulk Hogan also.
so great he said it... since 1991 i think guybrush threetwood looks like he looks cause of this movie.
I love that for Guybrush 😂
Yes, several people got injured in this movie.
Great reaction- you caught more than most! The movie requires at least a 2nd viewing to catch more of it, it's beyond brilliant. ;)
Yes, it is Billy crystal, also Carol kane as his wife and yes, Jenny from forest gump.
This was the movie my wife and I saw on our first date in 1987, got maried one year later,
Watch it every anniversary.
That's wonderful! Glad you get to revisit it every year with an extra layer of nostalgia. Love that!
This movie is in the top 3 most quotable movies of all time, along with Lebowski and Airplane. #4 is Spinal Tap.
Nice! Big Lebowski I haven't seen yet, but I reacted to Spinal Tap (which was awesome!) and Airplane is coming this week. That one I get why people love it but it didn't quite hit with me. Not sure why though. Still loved a lot of it though.
Incorrect.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
It predates all of them and is still the most quoted.
But that's like just my opinion, man.
That's the Saw guy?! I can't believe it! Now I gotta re-watch Saw again.
Yeah, he's Dr. Gordon! The guy with the saw that does the thing. 👀😂 He shows up throughout the series in flashbacks and stuff too.
@@JayBondReacts Yeah I have all the Saws on my comp, I just never knew his name or looked him up on imdb. I was so used to his accent here and Dr. Gordon sounds nothing like that. Thanks for the info, I'll see him differently now. Great reactions btw, As you can see I'm making my way through your catalog. 😂
@@tapoemt3995 Haha Yeah, accents have been throwing me off, same with age in some of these. 😂 Thank you for watching! 🙌
Also the villain in Twister
The music for this film came from Mark Knopfler, who is perhaps best known as the lead singer of rock band Dire Straits. Some of their hits included "Sultans of Swing", "Money for Nothing", and "Walk of Life".
Oh nice! I'm not big into that type of music but I know Money for Nothing from my dad playing it all the time growing up.
The Spaniards such a amazing character
What a truly charming and respectful reaction. This made me subscribe! ♡
Thank you so much!
On the set Andre apparently had a bad case of gas and let out a fart for almost a minute straight. Rob Reiner the director asked him if he was OK. Andre said "I am now boss". I laugh every time that story comes up.
Growing up this was a movie my sister and I could agree on.
I don't know why this channel was suggested to me, but thank you TH-cam! I really liked this reaction. You just gained another sub.
Yay, welcome! I just started this channel about a week or so ago. I'm shocked YT is recommending my videos tbh 😂
@@JayBondReacts you must be doing something right!
Great reaction, my all time favorite film!!
08:43 Yeah, not 30 beers, but *119 beers* in one sitting.
Best. Movie. Ever.
The 6 finger man was in Spinal Tap and was married to Jamie Lee Curtis.
Your commentary is great, keep it up!
If you think the narrative structure is strange though, read the book. Before "meta" was a word, this should be the OG definition. The author of the book also wrote the screenplay, and the book has meta references about the fake author of the "original" book he adopted it from. William Goldman is a rockstar for making the only movie ever that was better than the book in the minds of people who were fans of the book.
Edit: This movie is why I spent way too much time worrying about quick sand from ages 3 to ... Well im 41 and still have an irrational need to test sand before I step on it.
Thank you! That's pretty interesting. I love that! I kinda wish I read the book back in the day. Not certain I can get back into reading these days to be honest BUT if I do, I'd love to check out the source material.
"Before meta was a word?"
So, in ancient Greece?
I don't think the movie is that old. 😝
Please please please look up the actors…Christopher Guest! Please look him up. The only thing I wish you would do. Guest has been in and created so many movies, plus he is married to Jamie Lee Curtis. You will begin to see the quotable quotes pop up now that you have seen this movie. Yes, Billy .Crystal and Carol Kane were in it too. Stellar cast!

Love watching you in this format brother. Looking forward to the next one!!!
Thank you, appreciate it!
yes, it is Jenny!
That's a movie I haven't seen since I was a kid so I don't know why I recognized her. 😂 I gotta rewatch that!
@@JayBondReacts - it was an All Star cast. Robin Wright also was Frank's wife in House of Cards and the Aunt in Wonder Woman. Cary Elwes probably most popular for this although his Men In Tights appearance might be up there. Now-a-days he can be seen as the smarmy mayor in Stranger Things Season 3. Mandy Patakin (Inigo) is best known for Criminal Minds and Homeland (besides this movie). Prince Humperdink is also in Fright Night. Count Rugen is married to Jamie Lee Curtis. BTW, Wallace Shawn's character was killed by the poison which is why he wasn't at the end of the movie. Billy Crystal and Carol Kane are legends. You can find all sorts of interviews on YT with the Princess Bride cast. Oh and Rob Reiner has a ton of awesome movies that he has directed but he is also known as Meathead from All In The Family.
Loved this reaction!
Thank you!
Yes, that's Jenny from Forest G.
Buttercup is the old fashioned damsel in distress. 🤷
Brilliant movie and awesome reaction Jay! Hope to see you back soon!
Thank you. Hoping to finally edit something soon.
@@JayBondReacts Right on! I only watch music react channels (way too much lol) except yours! Good stuff.
Jay gives a bad reaction? INCONCEIVABLE!
Jay, I can't get my wife to watch this film (my ex fiancé loved it) but everytime I mention Andre the Giant, she retells a story about when she was a kid and went to a WWE wrestling event with her stepdad and Andre about. landed on her during a match. He supposedly apologized to her perfusely like the extreme gentleman he was but she had no interest in ever going to wrestling event ever again.
Haha Maybe not the best experience, but cool story nonetheless. 😂
Bog of enternal stench is
from labryinth
Robin Wright, more recently, is the wife (and eventual President of the US) in House of Cards.
Oh awesome, I never got into that show but thanks for the heads up!
Unfortunately Andre drank all that beer to deal with the constant pain he was in.
Aww, that's sad.
Your reactions are good
@Jay Bond: Recommended - read the excellent recalling-behind-the- scenes-stories book by British actor Cary Elwes [ "Westley / The Man in Black ( Westley in disguise )" in the movie ] ( published in 2014. )
React to Starman & the last starfighter.
Love the channel. One of my favorite films in the world is 8MM. They just put it on Hulu. I'd love to see you do a reaction to that one, if you haven't already seen it. It has elements of a thriller, a horror and a mystery. IMO, it is Nicholas Cage's best work. I've seen it at least 15 times.
Unfortunately I have seen it a bunch. I just watched 8MM again a few months ago, so can't really do a reaction for that one. Good movie though!
billy crystal awesome
This film rocks
5 out of 5!
The Princess Bride grows up to be Jenny!
Andre the Giant should have done more movies.
Absolutely, he was so cool and more well spoken then I thought.
Gave you a like for the Guybrush reference. Not that the reaction didn't deserve it anyway.
Haha Thank you!
ROUS's for the win!!
Hahaha I had to google that but yes. 😂
You're right, this movie is chock full of quotes.
Inconceivable
Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!
... safe in the fire swamp
The R.O.U.S? The rats of unusual size? I don't think they exist. (we have similar in Arizona - javelina)
Want a peanut?
Move the thing! And the other thing!
The cliffs of insanity!
My way isn't very sportsmanlike.
You are the brute squad.
The greatest thing in the world, except for a nice MLT, a mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich ...
Life is pain. Anyone telling you otherwise is trying to sell you something.
To the pain!
You would make a wonderful Dread Pirate Roberts.
As you wish.
....
Yes, Buttercup is Robin Wright from Forest Gump and the wife from Unbreakable.
Inigo Montoya is Mandy Patinkin. The slag alien from Alien Nation movie, brain surgeon in one of those trendy hospital series. The supervisor in Dead Like Me. He is the consummate character actor. This movie is full of them.
Miracle Max is Billy Crystal and his witch wife is Carol Kane - Simpka from Taxi series and many, many more comedy parts.
I don't know who the dungeon master guy is, but it feels like I've seen him somewhere.
Yuuup that's Jenny from Forrest Gump.. If I recall, you didn't point out in the review or just didnt fit in the vidoe but I'm sure maybe you might of recognized the actor who played Prince Humperdink, he was also the Vampire that moved next-door in the Original Fright Night!
I only ever saw the remake of Fright Night. 🤭
@@JayBondReacts hmmm... maybe another one for list here or on the Blood Bath TV channel sometime... the original has a lot of the cheese and practical effects that helped make 80's horror so great
Just sub to this channel last nite after finding out about it while watchn the Q&A on Bloodbath and Beyond.. 🤙
Nice, well welcome! Yeah, I tried to avoid posting it on BB&B and don't mention the other channels by name here just so it's kind of growing organically. Hope you dig the style!
Random but we are both drinking a Pabst as I watch you react to 1 of my fave movies.
Hahaha Nice! Cheers! 🍻
No! That's not the guy from Saw. That's the guy from this movie.
Haha Fair.
Awesome man. Great movie and glad you started doing the ratings like 5 out 5. Would love to hear the fun ratings like you do on blood bath. Like 5/5 8 bit baseball games out of 5
We'll see, most of these movies I need time to process everything before rating it. If it's 5/5 that's probably when I'd give a rating, but I think I shot 4 videos that don't have ratings after this one. I'm sorry to disappoint haha
@@JayBondReacts it’s all good man. I love all the content. All your channels are great
Thank you Jeremy. Appreciate the support across the board. 🙏
Read the book. It’s even better.
As much as I'd love to, I barely have time to watch the movies. 😂
Isn't he Robin Hood in Men in tights and also the guy in liarliar? He is so cute
Yup, that's him!
@@JayBondReacts I am so enjoying your reactions. Can you alao react to a classic hollywood film The Great Escape?
@@ohsfer11820 That one for some reason, I actually remember watching when I was young so unfortunately I can't do that one. But thank you for watching and the recommendation!
The bog of eternal stench is from the Labyrinth not the never ending story. 😉😇
New sub.
You mentioned watching other reactors. Who do you like?
Nice, welcome! I like chill reaction vibes so my favorites are Jen Murray, Popcorn in Bed, Nox So Subtle, and You Me and the Movies. All of which are pretty low-key with very few over the top screaming moments.
@@JayBondReacts I enjoy all of those. (I'm a reactor junkie) If more chill reactors are your thing, Brandon Likes Movies and James Vs. Cinema are also excellent.
@@JayBondReacts Also, Movies with Mary is one you may enjoy as well. She a a Dutch law student. I enjoy multi-national reactors, and Mary is mild and thoughtful.
@@notmee2388 Yes! Brandon is great. I like his style and Mary is someone I check out often too! I just subbed to James though, so I'm new to him. I can't watch alot because everyone covers movies I haven't seen. 😂
I'm so glad you enjoyed the movie! Your reactions were perfect, and not to be weird or anything, but I found it endearing, adorable even. Such an amazing movie. I watched this movie in the theater with my friend Candy, and I think I peed myself laughing so hard. TMI? Maybe, but whatever, so good.
Awe thank you! I've never heard of someone actually peeing themselves laughing but if there's a movie to do it to, why not this one. 😂
@@JayBondReacts You're welcome! 😅 I was 12, and a lot of cherry coke! And exactly, the comedy in this film was fried gold.
