My sisters and I do this! Saw this movie when it came out on VHS when I was around 6 or so. Now when I go back home to visit, when it's time to leave they say that 😁
Andre the Giant was a very famous wrestler in the 80s. He was a Legend with a genuine good heart. he struggled alot with pain but never showed it and always gave his fans time. he was a true giant with a heart of gold.
He also drank so much during one of the pre-production meetings at a hotel that he fell asleep on the floor in the middle of the hotel reception and no-one could move him. So they just put a cordon around him until he woke up.
Arnold (Terminator)has a great story about one time they met... Apparently Andre put Arnold up on a shelf to prevent him from picking up the tab at the restaurant...
When I was in high school I was a nanny over the summer for a boy and a girl. The boy was around the age of the boy in the story and he did NOT want to watch this with me and his sister. I told him to give it ten minutes then he could stop if he wanted. The entire first scene with the grandson and grandpa, the boy I was watching kept looking at me like “this is a trick somehow” because he had been saying the EXACT SAME THING. He watched the whole movie with us.
Often do this with my little brothers. Ask them to watch the first 10 minutes and then they can dip if they want. Usually they'll watch the whole thing of whatever movie I wanted to share.
"He looks like the same actor in Men in Tights." That is the same actor. Mel Brooks (Men in Tights director) cast Carey Elwes based on his acting in THIS movie.
my favorite part of this movie is Andre the Giant, the actor who played Fezzick later remarked that making this movie was best part of his life because everyone treated him as just another actor and not just some massive freak.
@@Frankiigiithey don’t make any good movies anymore, it’s so rare. I think about some of the far garbage original films on syfy from like 10 years ago and realize they’d do pretty decent in todays theatres cause the rest of the films are that bad. And what happened to the writing!

@@stephenmiller2544it’s so impressive cause I try to imagine if I knew their language and watched their films would I even pick it up or would I be so busy just trying to figure out what was being said.
@Catherine.Dorian. totally, they obviously are educated, and I love seeing the similarities that break learned cultural boundaries. like when they don't know if it's OK to laugh or not, or Chi will have like this epiphany that breaks down every aspect of the character, but then she'll be like, "oh I forgot what I was trying to say." and they move on. I like a lot of reaction channels but these guys are really just so authentic...like as far as reaction channels go. I hope they become super successful.
My sister-in-law loves this movie. When she got married, I got the pastor to start the ceremony by saying "Mawage" like the impressive clergyman. Everyone who knew the movie, especially her, loved it.
My hobby is writing fanfiction, and following one chapter that was spent entirely at a wedding, one of my readers commented, "Mawage is what bwings us togevvah today!"
Some of the practical effects and such even give it a charming sort of stage play feel, which probably would have been lost with CGI. I love that the movie deliberately doesn’t look completely real at times.
THE SWORD FIGHT Between Roberts and Inigo was actually performed by the Actors! They Studied Fencing for three months straight for this fight. The Only time Stuntmen were used was the Acrobatic "Flippies". When Inigo fights Rugen, you might notice that every Cut he gave the Count was exactly the same wounds Rugen had gave him... right down to the cuts on the cheeks.
Apparently, the actors were so good at the sword fight, that when they showed it to Reiner behind the scenes, it was so lightning fast that it was too quick to use in the movie. They added the ranging terrain and acrobatics to pad it for filming.
@@nthdgree5078 yes, carey elwes talks about this in his book 'as you wish' -- they had to work to slow the fight down considerably in order for the fight to register properly to the filmmakers. SO so so interesting!
@Beery1962 I heard David Spade say that Chris Farley told him that his major roll down that hill in their second movie: "Black Sheep" had been inspired by him watching Columbo crazy roll down that hill! RIP: C.F.
The Princes Bride is considered a Flawless movie. It might not be the 'best' movie ever, but it is absolutly without flaws of any kind. It is a cultural touchstone of anyone who grew up in the 90's.
At 41:43, when Inigo tells Reuben that he wants his father back; the power of this line comes from the actor, Mandy Patinkin, having recently lost his father to cancer. He put all of his anger and sorrow about the death of his father into that line.
This is indeed one of the most quotable movies of all time. You can't say inconceivable without thinking of this. Plus the sword fight between Westley and Inigo is one of the best ever.
@@nthdgree5078 Pedantic rant incoming: The fight choreographer knew that was unachievable but did include some real techniques and references to period fencing manuals. Bob Anderson also choreographed LOTR trilogy, Star Wars lightsaber fights, and decades earlier taught Errol Flynn stage combat. None of this generally looks anything close to real sword fighting of any kind, sport, combat or otherwise but are rather great examples of Stage Combat! (Sword fighting made too look good for a production) Period Shakespearean actors also did much the same. Edit: some grammar. prob missed more 😅
The priest, or as he's credited, The Impressive Clergyman, was played by a very well known character actor of the time by the name of Peter Cook. He's an exceptional actor, and has a distinctive and very distinguished voice, with an elegant English accent. When he started with 'Mawwidge.' Everyone in the theater lost it! It truly is a very beautiful and fun movie!
I had the honor of officiating my sisters wedding, and she wanted me to throw as much geek culture in it as possible. This was our families favorite movie growing up, we quote it all the time. I literally led the opening speech with a MINUTE of that!! Watching the gathered attendants either laughing their a$$es off because they got it, or the confused faces because they didn't was absolutely awesome!!!
When the six fingered man (Christopher Guest) knocks Westley out, he actually did and the actor was concussed. Miracle Max’s dialogue was mostly improvised and it was almost impossible for Westley’s character to not laugh through the scene. I think I heard he cracked some ribs trying to keep from laughing
But from what I remember he had a great time. He wasn't judged or used just because of his size, like in his wrestling career or when walking down the street, but was treated with respect like any other member of the cast
He loved this movie. Lanny Poffo mentioned _(in interviews hear on TH-cam)_ how he'd invite him and anyone willing, to watch it repeatedly in his hotel room, since he had a VHS of it before theaters. Every time, he insisted on him ordering anything he wanted from the menu, just to have him sit and watch it with him. He was especially proud of it. He'd probably get endless entertainment from _reaction_ videos to it..
My children were very young when this came out. For years, everyone in the family would make quotes from the movie throughout the day. When my children's mother would ask me for something I would always reply, "As you wish". And when I would leave for work in the morning, she would always yell after me, "have fun storming the castle"! And at any random time, any one of my kids might yell out, "anybody want a peanut?"
The giant Fezzik was played by Andre Roussimoff, aka Andre The Giant, a Professional Wrestler, originally from France. He had a long career, over 20 years, but he had a disease that caused him to continue to grow throughout his whole life. He was in his late 30's when he made, "The Princess Bride", his only movie, and he passed a few years later.
The amazing part of making this movie was the fact that (for one reason or another) they had to do a "pick up" (quick re-shoot) of Peter Faulk (Grandfather) doing the last line of "As you wish". He did it with ONLY the director, ONE camera operator and ONE sound tech on set... AFTER having to put it back together again. And yet, despite having NOBODY to work off of, NOBODY to interact with to get him in the right head-space needed to do the line..... he NAILS it by doing the perfect grandfather saying "I love you" to a grandchild IN ONE TAKE. The director was so amazed by the performance that he KNEW he had a "golden moment of film", one that holds up over the years and has various generations just melting with love/memories of grandparents around the world.
I love how there is so much crossover with Rob Reiner and Mel Brooks. Not surprising, considering that Rob's father, the late Carl Reiner, was Mel Brooks best friend and creative partner for over 50 years.
The Princess Bride didn't do very well when it came out in theaters, just breaking even for the movie studio. MGM's marketing department couldn't figure out how to advertise the movie: was it a romance (to market to women - but it's too focused on the male characters) or a medieval adventure (to market to men - but it's too funny and romantic) or a comedy (to market to adults - but it's too "clean") or a family movie (to market to kids and their parents - but it's too scary, a lot of people get stabbed, and it's too focused on "the kissing stuff")? Instead of figuring out a way to say "yes" and market it to ALL the potential audiences - they mostly focused on selling it as a family film with the commercials focused on the frame story with boy and the grandpa (but not the actual story of the movie). Fortunately for the Princess Bride, the mid-1980s saw the rise of a new generation of cheap VHS players and people (like me) discovered the movie when the few folks who saw it in theaters started playing it for their friends in college dorms (how I first saw it back then) or renting it at these new-fangled video rental stores. Now it's up there with movies like Ghostbusters and Terminator as one of the most classic (and definitely most quotable) of all the 80's movies.
I think they should have used the grandfather's description of the book y'know, fighting, fencing, torture, etc., quickly flashing a second or two of an example of each as they went through the list to sort of show what the flavour of the movie will be like.
I saw it three times in the theater by myself, in nearly empty theaters and talked it up, but could get no one to come with me. But after it was out on VHS I would rent it and trick family and friends into watching it. That way I programmed my very own in person reaction channel before that was a thing. Everyone I ever shared it with loved it.
Miracle Max and his wife (Billy Crystal and Carol Kane, respectively) were actually quite young in this film. Their performance is both a testament to their acting abilities and to the magic of true hollywood aging prosthetics.
Billy and Andre became such good friends that Billy Crystal actually wrote and did a movie called My Giant because it was inspired by Andre and his friendship
@vixenwinters6375 sadly the movie flopped because it was actually written with the intent of Andre to be the giant but he passed before that could happen
The reason Count Rugen's dagger didn’t kill Inigo is because Inigo kissed the pill from Miracle Max, for luck, before he gave it to Westley and that touch of his lips on the pill was enough to protect Inigo. I made that up but it fits the facts of the movie. 😊
I wish this was true and I don't wish to be the bringer of disappointment... but miracle Max said it was coated with chocolate so it would go down easier.
@andyrogers28708 yes, that is the joke I was making, the chocolate is not magical, yet I said it was because chocolate tastes good and some might exaggerate and say the taste of chocolate could bring a man back to life, this form of exaggeration is known to some as "humor"
If I remember correctly, the father of the actor who played Inigo Montoya died of cancer. When he delivered the line "I want m father back you son of a bitch" he pretended he was talking to the cancer.
When Carry Elwes and Mandy Potemkin fenced, they were actually fencing. With every scene they weren't in, they were taken to practice. The book "As You Wish" is written by Carry Elwes about the filming of the movie. It is a great reed and if you get the audio book it is narrated by Carry and others who worked on or in the movie.
Fun fact, the actor who plays Inigo Montoya, Mandy Patinkin, is an accomplished Broadway star. He's most famous for playing Che in Evita and George Seurat/George's great grandson in Sunday in the Park With George (you can find the proshot on TH-cam i believe)
Andre (The Giant) was a famous wrestler from France who EVERYONE in the wrestling industry felt that he had made a horrible mistake making this movie because it would make him look like a fool and have a negative impact on his legacy as a wrestler. Instead, because the character was SO MUCH like Andre BEHIND THE SCENES of wrestling, it actually became one of his most impressive things to do because it gave generations of "wrestling fans" a NEW appreciation for Andre the human being and not "just the wrestler". In fact, Andre was so in love with the movie (and his performance) that the WWF (wrestling organization at the time before changing the name to WWE) actually had an agreement with airplane companies to show the movie on their flights with wrestlers, that if they DID NOT show the movie, they would lose their contracts of chartered flights with the WWF until they DID start to show the movie on their OTHER (commercial) flights for X-number of days.
Oh, _duel_ him left-handed! Watched this for years without subtitles and always thought Inigo said "I'm going to _do_ him left-handed". The things you learn...
Basically a perfect movie, well acted, well paced, good storytelling, beautiful sets, funny, action, incredible. So glad you reacted to it! Missed Hella for this one though, she would have loved it!
So, the original princess bride was written by S. Morgenstern but when William Goldman was sick as a Child, his grandpa would read him the Princess Bride. William grew up and wanted to read the princess bride to his own children but when he bought the book he realized it was nothing like the book his grandfather had read him. It turned out his grandpa had been changing the story and making it better for William. Inspired by this, William rewrote the story in the way his grandpa told it and published it becoming the version of the story we all know today and the version that was adapted into the movie
Yes, and Edgar Rice Burroughs didn't write A Princess of Mars, it was the really the diary of his uncle Jack Carter and Burroughs was just the editor. (What I'm saying is: "S. Morgenstern" is just another fictional character used in the framing device of the book.)
SUCH a good choice, I love this movie. I would watch this movie with my Grammy, who passed away from colon cancer in 2019. When she passed, I drove all the way from Texas to Pennsylvania to go to her funeral, and stayed with my Papa overnight afterwards. I had fallen asleep on my Grammy’s recliner/rocking chair, and woke up to my Papa sitting beside me in his chair flipping through the tv. I saw “The Princess Bride” was on, and mentioned that Gram and I would watch it. My Papa was never a fan or watched it with us, but that night he did. We cried the entire time. I told stories of Grams favorite lines or scenes. The jokes. The laughing. It is a memory I hold on my heart dearly. This movie means so much to myself and him now, and we share that same love for it that my Grammy and I did. 💕💕
This was a childhood favorite movie of mine. Still love it with my whole heart. On my third date with her, the woman who became my wife asked if I would watch it with her, since it was one of her favorite movies. I'd already felt she was the one for me, but this sealed the deal. We've been happily married 25 years. 🥰
I wonder what the drunk guy’s problem was? Was he frustrated that he couldn’t find a dragon’s tail to pull, so trying to bully a giant was the next best idea?
Apparently it was a group of college kids who decided to mess with Andre by throwing beer cans at him in the bar. The third one made Andre get up. The boys bolted to their car, but as soon as the were starting the car, Andre arrived in time to flip it completely upside down. Cops came and arrested the boys for messing with Andre.
@@kgunitkeese17Don't know if it's true, but I heard the cops were laughing at the kids, told 'em "what did you think was gonna happen, messing with a giant?"
17:27 Wesley: Where is the poison? Chi: “I think both!” DAMNNN, that was INSTANT and you didn’t even have to go through several minutes of all of that nutjob’s logic about how everyone in Australia is criminals and whatever else to figure it out! LOL NICE JOB CHI!!!
@Stogie2112 , and he almost solves the puzzle. He establishes that he can't drink from one in front of him or from the other, and then he drinks from one at random.
@@matthewkreps3352 .... Vizzini picked a cup at random, but he didn't come close to solving the puzzle. He had no way of knowing anything about the two cups. Westley gave him no information at all. Three possible scenarios: 1) Neither cup had the poison, 2) only one cup had the poison and 3) both cups had the poison. Vizzini had no way of knowing which scenario was the correct one.
Yes this film gave us many famous lines that people have been repeating for years. There are videos on TH-cam of people using these lines in creative ways or acting out whole scenes from this movie because everyone loves it.
This movie is such a classic and I have to show it to anyone who says they’ve never seen it. We say a lot of these lines in everyday life all the time it’s so ingrained in our mind. I have a friend who can quote the WHOLE movie too. So so good!!
As you wish, girls. ❤️Including Hella. The big dude *Fezzik" was famous wrestler "Andre the Giant" 7 feet 4 inches and 520 pounds. The Princess (Robin Wright) was also in Forrest Gump (Jenny).
Robin Wright was also Antiope in Wonder Woman, who was the general of the Amazons and aunt of Diana. She only had a small role to play but she was amazing!
One of the greatest movies ever made. I'm so happy you ladies have discovered it for yourselves. "That word you keep using. I don't not think it means what you think it means." Inigo Montoya - 1987
When the actress who plays Buttercup first met Andre, the giant, she screamed and ran out of the room. Her mind just wasn't prepared for someone so big, and he shocked her. She was so embarrassed, because Andre was a sweet guy, and spent the rest of the filming being nice to him.
One of the most beloved movies of a certain generation's childhood. Welcome to a life of quoting lines from "The Princess Bride" - there's no turning back now. Your reactions were excellent, and they made me remember the first time I saw this movie and felt the same wonder ... not only because it's a fun fairy tale, but for all the allegories hidden within: friendship, perseverance, loyalty, and most importantly - love. A brilliant movie - thank you for sharing your reaction.
My favourite story about this is while they were filming Andre the Giant let loose a full on sixteen second fart that silenced the set. The director asked Andre, "are you all right?" and Andre replied, "I am now, boss!" 🤣
You all yelling at Buttercup to grab the sword during the ROUS scene cracked me up, because that was my #1 gripe when I was a kid! "Girl, do SOMETHING!" But otherwise loved this, and still do.
Thank you so ladies for taking my advice in watching this movie, I’ve seen it dozens of times especially as a teenager. It is always been one of my favorite movies. I asked you guys to watch this on Patreon, but I can’t get on it right now, but I’m so glad you did And it looks to me like you loved it as well and that makes me very happy that you guys got to experience this incredible movie thank you
This movie is one of the most quoted movies you will ever watch. So many good lines... "IN-conceivable!" "I don't think that word means what you think it means...." 😄
I was about 13 (in ‘87) when we rented the VHS. The film was bought multiple times in multiple formats over the decades. Still a favorite and if I meet someone who wants a movie recommendation, this is my first suggestion
The 1980's had such wonderful fantasy movies and fairytale movies. If you haven't seen them already you will love Legend with Tom Cruise, The Never Ending Story, Labyrinth with David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly( one of my all time favorites) and Willow with Val Kilmer. The Beast Master and Connan the Barbarion with Arnold Swartzenhager get an honorable mention. CONNAN by the way made Swartzenhager famous and started his acting career. You are all so beautiful and absolutely adorable. These movies bring out the child in all of us hope you enjoy them. Start with Labyrinth you'll have a great time. Puppets and fantasy. So much fun! Jennifer was only 16 when she stared in this and David Bowie is a Rock and Roll legend.
Love this movie! It came out when I was a young teen and now I've shown it to my kids who are teens. My friends andni watched it so much when we are younger we can quote the whole thing. So many good lines. I loved hearing you all say "inconceivable" throughout the movie
This movie is iconic, and a "cult classic". The lines are so quotable, and my micro-generation (xennial) can whip out a line in almost any situation. "He's only mostly dead" "have fun storming the castle!" "Inconceivable!" "Does anybody want a peanut?" "Hello, my name is inigo Montoya. You (unalived) my father. Prepare to (unalive)." Seriously. This movie, the Neverending Story, and Labyrinth were my childhood fantasy movies. I'm so glad you liked it!
I love that every reaction I watch of this. Everyone has the same reaction in the Fire Swamp when Buttercup just stands there. haha. - The Grandfather's "As you wish" gets me everytime.
Arnold Schwarzenegger told some great stories about the strongest men he ever met. He acted with Andre the Giant in "The Running Man" and he acted with Wilt Chamberlain in "Conan the Destroyer". Both men stood over 7 ft. tall and both could lift hundreds of pounds each over their heads with no problems. Both did most of their own stunts on these films because there were no stunt men big enough to double them.
it's this movie that brought back to life the secret romance/romantic use of 3 simple words and how one says "As You Wish" when letting the other person figure out that your secretly madly in love with them.
The Princess Bride is one of my favorite childhood movies and I'm so Happy y'all enjoyed it!! I highly recommend watching The Court Jester, starring Danny Kaye. It's an action/comedy from the 50s that I still find hilarious and a very sweet film overall
45:32 this movie is quite popular at least in America, though it wasn’t a hit in theaters. It’s so many things, a fantasy, a romance, a comedy, a satire of fairy tales in general, it has a meta component in the grandfather reading the book to the grandson, it was difficult to sell to audiences at the time. However, after it was released on home video and later DVD, it attained a new audience that grew and grew. Nowadays, there is hardly a person I know who can’t quote at least a line or two, and many people cite it as their favorite movie to watch with family members. It’s a perfect gem of a movie that just about anyone of any age can enjoy, up to and including heads of state and at least one Pope, according to the actor Cary Elwes, who played Westley. Glad you all enjoyed it, read the book As You Wish if you’d like to hear about the making of process and the longevity of The Princess Bride.
Saw this in the drive in theatre when I was a kid when it first came out. It's been a staple of just about everyone's 80's movie experience. It's so nice that many years later it's still enjoyed by fresh audiences. I'll add to the list of behind the scene stories. Andre the giant was so proud of being in the movie that he showed it so frequently at his house and invited people over that some of his friends tried to hide or discreetly try to get out of it. They didn't want to hurt his feelings because he was just so happy like a big kid. They said he genuinely really was a very kind person who had fun helping star in the movie.
I grew up with this movie, got to see in theaters for its anniversary, and there was young kids in front of me quoting the movie, and older ladies behind me chuckling along. It was a really special moment, to feel how this movie connects generations ❤
It seems inconceivable that it didn’t do well when it was released in theaters, but it didn’t. I’m happy that so many people have wised up to how great it is since then.
I used to work in a homeless youth shelter (14-19 yr olds), and since we'd play a movie before lights out each night, would bring this in once every couple months. Was so funny watching some of the new kids blanch at hearing the title and complain, while some of the longer term ones would talk them down to convince them to watch. 😂
My dad saw this movie in theaters when he was 12 and when it played on TV he recorded it on VHS. He watched it several times a week into adulthood and then would watch it with us every weekend when I was a kid. It's still one of my favorite movies and I can repeat it backwards and forewords almost lol
your reactions were so perfect! It made me so happy re-watching a movie I truly love and seeing you all get everything out of it that I want people to get in their first watches. Such a classic, you really can re-watch it over and over and it's endlessly quotable.
Inigo kissed the miracle pill, before giving it to Wrstley, and some of the miracle went to him, which enabled him to recover from the dagger wound to his belly.
This movie is one of my favorites. My daughters and I watch it together when we cane. The actress who played Buttercup also played Jenny in Forest Gump. And she was Wonder Woman's aunt General Antiope. :)
They don’t make movies like this anymore. There’s a shortage of perfect movies in this world. This movie is one of them! 10/10 movie and 10/10 reaction! Especially when you all put in masks 😂
One of my favorite movies and books of all time. When I tried to show the movie to my friends when we were about twenty, they had the same reaction as the kid, and they refused to watch it for years. When they did it took some convincing to stop them turning it off early on. They loved it by the end.
When Inigo says to the brute squad, "Keep your ho there", he pronounces the last two words to sound like "hodair". In Spanish, the word "joder", pronounced that way, means "f*ck".
One of your best reaction videos yet! In America, this film is pretty popular, and I've always suspected it would have world wide appeal. Hopefully channels like yours raise awareness and maybe the next generation of kids all over the world will start watching The Princess Bride.
Just so you girls know andrea the giant. Durring filming he would put his hand on buttercups head when she felt cold because his hands are the exact size her head She said he was the nicest person
"when i was a kid", every time my dad drove me to class, he would wave, and say 'have fun storming the castle!' :)
With a send off like that, it doesn’t take a miracle to have a good day. 😊
I did the same with my daughter, she loved this movie. And now I have a 5 year old Grandson, he absolutely loves this movie!
My sisters and I do this! Saw this movie when it came out on VHS when I was around 6 or so. Now when I go back home to visit, when it's time to leave they say that 😁
My wife STILL says that to me sometimes when I am leaving!
I say that to my wife if she leaves for work before me 😂
Andre the Giant was a very famous wrestler in the 80s. He was a Legend with a genuine good heart. he struggled alot with pain but never showed it and always gave his fans time. he was a true giant with a heart of gold.
He also drank so much during one of the pre-production meetings at a hotel that he fell asleep on the floor in the middle of the hotel reception and no-one could move him. So they just put a cordon around him until he woke up.
@@hikariyouk I'll bet he dreamed of large women
Plus from what I heard a delight to work with on the movie.

"He looks like the same actor in Men in Tights." That is the same actor. Mel Brooks (Men in Tights director) cast Carey Elwes based on his acting in THIS movie.

I use it a lot! 😁
my favorite part of this movie is Andre the Giant, the actor who played Fezzick later remarked that making this movie was best part of his life because everyone treated him as just another actor and not just some massive freak.
I love the fact that every woman reactor gets frustrated with Buttercup when she doesn’t help Wesley in the Fire Swamp.
😅 she makes up for it in the 1st Wonder Woman movie ❤
That has frustrated me since I was a kid. Watching the first time at age 6 I was screaming HIT IT WITH THE STICK!!!
The most beautiful part is the grandfather saying "As you wish"
Yes because as he said it actually means I love you.

No CGI necessary. Just a great story with a perfect balance of humor and adventure.
Some of the practical effects and such even give it a charming sort of stage play feel, which probably would have been lost with CGI. I love that the movie deliberately doesn’t look completely real at times.
The rodent of unusual (?) size was definitely a stunt guy crawling around in a raggedy fur suit. He was great! Much better than CGI.
THE SWORD FIGHT Between Roberts and Inigo was actually performed by the Actors! They Studied Fencing for three months straight for this fight. The Only time Stuntmen were used was the Acrobatic "Flippies".
When Inigo fights Rugen, you might notice that every Cut he gave the Count was exactly the same wounds Rugen had gave him... right down to the cuts on the cheeks.
Apparently, the actors were so good at the sword fight, that when they showed it to Reiner behind the scenes, it was so lightning fast that it was too quick to use in the movie. They added the ranging terrain and acrobatics to pad it for filming.
@@nthdgree5078 yes, carey elwes talks about this in his book 'as you wish' -- they had to work to slow the fight down considerably in order for the fight to register properly to the filmmakers. SO so so interesting!

The Princes Bride is considered a Flawless movie. It might not be the 'best' movie ever, but it is absolutly without flaws of any kind. It is a cultural touchstone of anyone who grew up in the 90's.
At 41:43, when Inigo tells Reuben that he wants his father back; the power of this line comes from the actor, Mandy Patinkin, having recently lost his father to cancer. He put all of his anger and sorrow about the death of his father into that line.
This is indeed one of the most quotable movies of all time. You can't say inconceivable without thinking of this. Plus the sword fight between Westley and Inigo is one of the best ever.
Certainly one of them. They have another highly quotable Young Frankenstein in queue as well.
I love that movie.
When they made the sword fight, their intention was to make a duel so well that it would look real to actual fencers.
@@nthdgree5078 They clearly succeeded
@@nthdgree5078 Pedantic rant incoming: The fight choreographer knew that was unachievable but did include some real techniques and references to period fencing manuals. Bob Anderson also choreographed LOTR trilogy, Star Wars lightsaber fights, and decades earlier taught Errol Flynn stage combat. None of this generally looks anything close to real sword fighting of any kind, sport, combat or otherwise but are rather great examples of Stage Combat! (Sword fighting made too look good for a production) Period Shakespearean actors also did much the same. Edit: some grammar. prob missed more 😅
The priest, or as he's credited, The Impressive Clergyman, was played by a very well known character actor of the time by the name of Peter Cook. He's an exceptional actor, and has a distinctive and very distinguished voice, with an elegant English accent. When he started with 'Mawwidge.' Everyone in the theater lost it! It truly is a very beautiful and fun movie!
Priest:”Mawidge. Mawidge is what bwings us togewer today.”
😂 It has been over thirty years and it still makes me laugh every time.
I had the honor of officiating my sisters wedding, and she wanted me to throw as much geek culture in it as possible. This was our families favorite movie growing up, we quote it all the time. I literally led the opening speech with a MINUTE of that!! Watching the gathered attendants either laughing their a$$es off because they got it, or the confused faces because they didn't was absolutely awesome!!!
That has long been my Dad's favorite part of the movie, as he is a pastor and has officiated many weddings.
24:11 "You just stand there, for nothing?! Inconceivable!!!" shouted Chi to Buttercup.
I love this movie, but you're right: Buttercup is useless.
Chi: "Inconceivable!"
Tien and Lan: "You keep using that word. We don't think it means what you think it means."
😆😆😆
It’s never gets old
It never gets old
When the six fingered man (Christopher Guest) knocks Westley out, he actually did and the actor was concussed.
Miracle Max’s dialogue was mostly improvised and it was almost impossible for Westley’s character to not laugh through the scene. I think I heard he cracked some ribs trying to keep from laughing
André was in so much pain, making this movie. His size and the years in the WWF took their toll on his body. :(
they even had to fake the moment where he catches Robyn Wright at the end; his back actually couldn't even take holding her weight in his arms.
But from what I remember he had a great time. He wasn't judged or used just because of his size, like in his wrestling career or when walking down the street, but was treated with respect like any other member of the cast
@@_stayoung_he was universally loved by other wrestlers and fans.
He still didn’t let that stop him from giving us that big, warm smile of his. Such an extraordinary man, and greatly missed.
He loved this movie. Lanny Poffo mentioned _(in interviews hear on TH-cam)_ how he'd invite him and anyone willing, to watch it repeatedly in his hotel room, since he had a VHS of it before theaters. Every time, he insisted on him ordering anything he wanted from the menu, just to have him sit and watch it with him.
He was especially proud of it. He'd probably get endless entertainment from _reaction_ videos to it..
When a Spaniard swears on his passed family, I would trust him thru hell and back.
Wesley knew this, that's why he accepted the rope.
"If you don't love again, marry the rich one" Brilliant, I think you've inspired me to get back out there.
🤣🤣🤣
The girl in the middle is so full of light, seeing her so happy, ignites a warm fire in the best room of my heart ❤
Tien did seem to have a wonderful time on this one. So fun to watch.
My children were very young when this came out. For years, everyone in the family would make quotes from the movie throughout the day. When my children's mother would ask me for something I would always reply, "As you wish". And when I would leave for work in the morning, she would always yell after me, "have fun storming the castle"! And at any random time, any one of my kids might yell out, "anybody want a peanut?"
🥜😊
The giant Fezzik was played by Andre Roussimoff, aka Andre The Giant, a Professional Wrestler, originally from France. He had a long career, over 20 years, but he had a disease that caused him to continue to grow throughout his whole life. He was in his late 30's when he made, "The Princess Bride", his only movie, and he passed a few years later.
He was also in Conan the Destroyer as Dagoth, but he's in a monster suit and you don't see his face.
Princess Bride reaction without Princess Hella ? Inconceivable !!!
Thought the same!! :)
Good way of saying it. 😂
Wait! If they’re here, does that mean Hella is sneaking off to watch _Family Guy_ instead?
miss Hella...fit four girls pls 🥺🥰
The amazing part of making this movie was the fact that (for one reason or another) they had to do a "pick up" (quick re-shoot) of Peter Faulk (Grandfather) doing the last line of "As you wish". He did it with ONLY the director, ONE camera operator and ONE sound tech on set... AFTER having to put it back together again.
And yet, despite having NOBODY to work off of, NOBODY to interact with to get him in the right head-space needed to do the line..... he NAILS it by doing the perfect grandfather saying "I love you" to a grandchild IN ONE TAKE. The director was so amazed by the performance that he KNEW he had a "golden moment of film", one that holds up over the years and has various generations just melting with love/memories of grandparents around the world.
Yes, Cary Elwes played Robin Hood in Mel Brooke's satire of the story. :)
I love how there is so much crossover with Rob Reiner and Mel Brooks. Not surprising, considering that Rob's father, the late Carl Reiner, was Mel Brooks best friend and creative partner for over 50 years.
The Princess Bride didn't do very well when it came out in theaters, just breaking even for the movie studio. MGM's marketing department couldn't figure out how to advertise the movie: was it a romance (to market to women - but it's too focused on the male characters) or a medieval adventure (to market to men - but it's too funny and romantic) or a comedy (to market to adults - but it's too "clean") or a family movie (to market to kids and their parents - but it's too scary, a lot of people get stabbed, and it's too focused on "the kissing stuff")? Instead of figuring out a way to say "yes" and market it to ALL the potential audiences - they mostly focused on selling it as a family film with the commercials focused on the frame story with boy and the grandpa (but not the actual story of the movie).
Fortunately for the Princess Bride, the mid-1980s saw the rise of a new generation of cheap VHS players and people (like me) discovered the movie when the few folks who saw it in theaters started playing it for their friends in college dorms (how I first saw it back then) or renting it at these new-fangled video rental stores.
Now it's up there with movies like Ghostbusters and Terminator as one of the most classic (and definitely most quotable) of all the 80's movies.
I think they should have used the grandfather's description of the book y'know, fighting, fencing, torture, etc., quickly flashing a second or two of an example of each as they went through the list to sort of show what the flavour of the movie will be like.
I saw it three times in the theater by myself, in nearly empty theaters and talked it up, but could get no one to come with me. But after it was out on VHS I would rent it and trick family and friends into watching it. That way I programmed my very own in person reaction channel before that was a thing. Everyone I ever shared it with loved it.
So it's like the 80s version of Napoleon Dynamite.
Miracle Max and his wife (Billy Crystal and Carol Kane, respectively) were actually quite young in this film. Their performance is both a testament to their acting abilities and to the magic of true hollywood aging prosthetics.
Billy and Andre became such good friends that Billy Crystal actually wrote and did a movie called My Giant because it was inspired by Andre and his friendship
@@alaneskew2664 I don't think I ever knew this. That's so awesome and heartwarming!
@vixenwinters6375 sadly the movie flopped because it was actually written with the intent of Andre to be the giant but he passed before that could happen
The reason Count Rugen's dagger didn’t kill Inigo is because Inigo kissed the pill from Miracle Max, for luck, before he gave it to Westley and that touch of his lips on the pill was enough to protect Inigo.
I made that up but it fits the facts of the movie. 😊
I wish this was true and I don't wish to be the bringer of disappointment... but miracle Max said it was coated with chocolate so it would go down easier.
@@andyrogers28708The chocolate is the magic part /j
@@phoenixkiger7318 no I think the chocolate was the non magic coating to make the magic pill go down easier.
@andyrogers28708 yes, that is the joke I was making, the chocolate is not magical, yet I said it was because chocolate tastes good and some might exaggerate and say the taste of chocolate could bring a man back to life, this form of exaggeration is known to some as "humor"
@@phoenixkiger7318 that was not clear in your wording
If I remember correctly, the father of the actor who played Inigo Montoya died of cancer. When he delivered the line "I want m father back you son of a bitch" he pretended he was talking to the cancer.
The Princess Bride is a classic. It has amazing actors like Cary Elwes to Andre The Giant.
Andre The Giant was someone that you wouldn’t believe is real unless you saw him.
That man is HUGE.
Prince Humperdink was the inspiration for the character of Lord Farquad, in "Shrek".
The Princes Bride is one of those rare movies that has everything ⬇️
Action
Adventure
Drama
Comedy
Romance
Fantasy
Horror
It’s a treasure-it appeals to so many. A family with many generations could enjoy this together.
Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...
Beat me to this comment@@stiimuli
And Andre’ the Giant.
And the trees are actually quite lovely.
When Carry Elwes and Mandy Potemkin fenced, they were actually fencing. With every scene they weren't in, they were taken to practice. The book "As You Wish" is written by Carry Elwes about the filming of the movie. It is a great reed and if you get the audio book it is narrated by Carry and others who worked on or in the movie.
Fun fact, the actor who plays Inigo Montoya, Mandy Patinkin, is an accomplished Broadway star. He's most famous for playing Che in Evita and George Seurat/George's great grandson in Sunday in the Park With George (you can find the proshot on TH-cam i believe)
Andre (The Giant) was a famous wrestler from France who EVERYONE in the wrestling industry felt that he had made a horrible mistake making this movie because it would make him look like a fool and have a negative impact on his legacy as a wrestler.
Instead, because the character was SO MUCH like Andre BEHIND THE SCENES of wrestling, it actually became one of his most impressive things to do because it gave generations of "wrestling fans" a NEW appreciation for Andre the human being and not "just the wrestler". In fact, Andre was so in love with the movie (and his performance) that the WWF (wrestling organization at the time before changing the name to WWE) actually had an agreement with airplane companies to show the movie on their flights with wrestlers, that if they DID NOT show the movie, they would lose their contracts of chartered flights with the WWF until they DID start to show the movie on their OTHER (commercial) flights for X-number of days.
Oh, _duel_ him left-handed! Watched this for years without subtitles and always thought Inigo said "I'm going to _do_ him left-handed". The things you learn...
Basically a perfect movie, well acted, well paced, good storytelling, beautiful sets, funny, action, incredible. So glad you reacted to it! Missed Hella for this one though, she would have loved it!
Agreed, Hella's reactions would also have been a hoot. That girl w/Chi can be SAVAGE! I'm glad that the MM girls seem to be okay after Typhoon.
I knew you ladies would love this one.
"As you wish".
There is actually a book called The Princess Bride, written by the same person who wrote the screenplay for the movie! It was an easy, fun read
quite possibly the best movie ever made. Just perfect. The stories behind the production are an absolute delight, you should check them out.
So, the original princess bride was written by S. Morgenstern but when William Goldman was sick as a Child, his grandpa would read him the Princess Bride. William grew up and wanted to read the princess bride to his own children but when he bought the book he realized it was nothing like the book his grandfather had read him. It turned out his grandpa had been changing the story and making it better for William. Inspired by this, William rewrote the story in the way his grandpa told it and published it becoming the version of the story we all know today and the version that was adapted into the movie
Yes, and Edgar Rice Burroughs didn't write A Princess of Mars, it was the really the diary of his uncle Jack Carter and Burroughs was just the editor. (What I'm saying is: "S. Morgenstern" is just another fictional character used in the framing device of the book.)
SUCH a good choice, I love this movie.
I would watch this movie with my Grammy, who passed away from colon cancer in 2019. When she passed, I drove all the way from Texas to Pennsylvania to go to her funeral, and stayed with my Papa overnight afterwards. I had fallen asleep on my Grammy’s recliner/rocking chair, and woke up to my Papa sitting beside me in his chair flipping through the tv. I saw “The Princess Bride” was on, and mentioned that Gram and I would watch it. My Papa was never a fan or watched it with us, but that night he did. We cried the entire time. I told stories of Grams favorite lines or scenes. The jokes. The laughing. It is a memory I hold on my heart dearly.
This movie means so much to myself and him now, and we share that same love for it that my Grammy and I did. 💕💕
I love this movie. The fact you ladies put on a mask was priceless
This was a childhood favorite movie of mine. Still love it with my whole heart. On my third date with her, the woman who became my wife asked if I would watch it with her, since it was one of her favorite movies. I'd already felt she was the one for me, but this sealed the deal. We've been happily married 25 years. 🥰
Fun fact: a drunk man once slapped Andre the Giant at a bar. Andre got up and the man ran to his car (VW Beetle). Andre rolled the car on its roof.
I wonder what the drunk guy’s problem was? Was he frustrated that he couldn’t find a dragon’s tail to pull, so trying to bully a giant was the next best idea?
Apparently it was a group of college kids who decided to mess with Andre by throwing beer cans at him in the bar. The third one made Andre get up. The boys bolted to their car, but as soon as the were starting the car, Andre arrived in time to flip it completely upside down. Cops came and arrested the boys for messing with Andre.
@@kgunitkeese17Don't know if it's true, but I heard the cops were laughing at the kids, told 'em "what did you think was gonna happen, messing with a giant?"
Chi saying "As you wish" to her friends is the most adorable thing I've ever seen.

Wesley: Where is the poison?
Chi: “I think both!”
DAMNNN, that was INSTANT and you didn’t even have to go through several minutes of all of that nutjob’s logic about how everyone in Australia is criminals and whatever else to figure it out! LOL NICE JOB CHI!!!
The MMLs are very clever.
Vizzini’s ridiculous logic is the best part of the film! 😆😆
I have personally taken his advice about never getting involved in a land war in Asia, though, and that has worked out very well for me so far.
@Stogie2112 , and he almost solves the puzzle. He establishes that he can't drink from one in front of him or from the other, and then he drinks from one at random.
@@matthewkreps3352 .... Vizzini picked a cup at random, but he didn't come close to solving the puzzle. He had no way of knowing anything about the two cups. Westley gave him no information at all.
Three possible scenarios: 1) Neither cup had the poison, 2) only one cup had the poison and 3) both cups had the poison. Vizzini had no way of knowing which scenario was the correct one.
Yes this film gave us many famous lines that people have been repeating for years.
There are videos on TH-cam of people using these lines in creative ways or acting out whole scenes from this movie because everyone loves it.
Yes, this was done during the USA’s lockdown
This movie is such a classic and I have to show it to anyone who says they’ve never seen it.
We say a lot of these lines in everyday life all the time it’s so ingrained in our mind. I have a friend who can quote the WHOLE movie too.
So so good!!
As you wish, girls. ❤️Including Hella. The big dude *Fezzik" was famous wrestler "Andre the Giant" 7 feet 4 inches and 520 pounds. The Princess (Robin Wright) was also in Forrest Gump (Jenny).
Thanks - I was trying to remember the other famous movie she was in!
@@stephengamber7000 I did a double take because I didn't realize she was in The Princess Bride.
Robin Wright was also Antiope in Wonder Woman, who was the general of the Amazons and aunt of Diana. She only had a small role to play but she was amazing!

When the actress who plays Buttercup first met Andre, the giant, she screamed and ran out of the room. Her mind just wasn't prepared for someone so big, and he shocked her. She was so embarrassed, because Andre was a sweet guy, and spent the rest of the filming being nice to him.
do not blame her he looked intimidating, yet he was the most humble teddy bear ever.
One of the most beloved movies of a certain generation's childhood. Welcome to a life of quoting lines from "The Princess Bride" - there's no turning back now. Your reactions were excellent, and they made me remember the first time I saw this movie and felt the same wonder ... not only because it's a fun fairy tale, but for all the allegories hidden within: friendship, perseverance, loyalty, and most importantly - love. A brilliant movie - thank you for sharing your reaction.
My favourite story about this is while they were filming Andre the Giant let loose a full on sixteen second fart that silenced the set. The director asked Andre, "are you all right?" and Andre replied, "I am now, boss!" 🤣
Girl on the left had me ROLLING laughing! "Inconceivable!" and her "I take back my words on telling him "poor him". I was wrong"
You all yelling at Buttercup to grab the sword during the ROUS scene cracked me up, because that was my #1 gripe when I was a kid! "Girl, do SOMETHING!" But otherwise loved this, and still do.
😂❤ your love is dying!
It’s a big ol’ “girl, get UP!” moment 😂
OMG I love this reaction - you girls are so much fun, I love how much you enjoy the show. You putting on masks was hilarious and so cute!
I missed Hella, but these 3 young ladies were just great fun!
Thank you so ladies for taking my advice in watching this movie, I’ve seen it dozens of times especially as a teenager. It is always been one of my favorite movies. I asked you guys to watch this on Patreon, but I can’t get on it right now, but I’m so glad you did And it looks to me like you loved it as well and that makes me very happy that you guys got to experience this incredible movie thank you
This movie is one of the most quoted movies you will ever watch. So many good lines... "IN-conceivable!" "I don't think that word means what you think it means...." 😄
Could anyone not fall in love with these beautiful ladies? Inconceivable! 😉
Agreed! And when they put on those masks, OMG,
Oi! That's my line!
Vizzini was played by a man named Wallace Shawn... one of the great character actors of our time.
This movie is straight from my childhood.
I was about 13 (in ‘87) when we rented the VHS. The film was bought multiple times in multiple formats over the decades. Still a favorite and if I meet someone who wants a movie recommendation, this is my first suggestion
The 1980's had such wonderful fantasy movies and fairytale movies. If you haven't seen them already you will love Legend with Tom Cruise, The Never Ending Story, Labyrinth with David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly( one of my all time favorites) and Willow with Val Kilmer. The Beast Master and Connan the Barbarion with Arnold Swartzenhager get an honorable mention. CONNAN by the way made Swartzenhager famous and started his acting career. You are all so beautiful and absolutely adorable. These movies bring out the child in all of us hope you enjoy them. Start with Labyrinth you'll have a great time. Puppets and fantasy. So much fun! Jennifer was only 16 when she stared in this and David Bowie is a Rock and Roll legend.
Love this movie! It came out when I was a young teen and now I've shown it to my kids who are teens. My friends andni watched it so much when we are younger we can quote the whole thing. So many good lines. I loved hearing you all say "inconceivable" throughout the movie
That you released this reaction alongside "Asian Angels" to one of my favorite movies today on my birthday (9/10) is...INCONCEIVABLE!!
This movie is iconic, and a "cult classic". The lines are so quotable, and my micro-generation (xennial) can whip out a line in almost any situation. "He's only mostly dead" "have fun storming the castle!" "Inconceivable!" "Does anybody want a peanut?" "Hello, my name is inigo Montoya. You (unalived) my father. Prepare to (unalive)."
Seriously. This movie, the Neverending Story, and Labyrinth were my childhood fantasy movies. I'm so glad you liked it!
I love that every reaction I watch of this. Everyone has the same reaction in the Fire Swamp when Buttercup just stands there. haha.
-
The Grandfather's "As you wish" gets me everytime.
"Wet Dream? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
Glad to know I wasn't the only one who heard that!
She was trying to say "sweet dream."
The idea that these three young ladies would not like 'The Princess Bride' is Inconceivable!
Them: *gasping, terrified*
The grandfather: she doesn’t get eaten by eels at this time. I’m telling you because you look nervous
Them: oh okay 😅
You girls are amazing. I was having such a bad day until I saw this. Such pure reactions. Thanks.
Arnold Schwarzenegger told some great stories about the strongest men he ever met. He acted with Andre the Giant in "The Running Man" and he acted with Wilt Chamberlain in "Conan the Destroyer". Both men stood over 7 ft. tall and both could lift hundreds of pounds each over their heads with no problems. Both did most of their own stunts on these films because there were no stunt men big enough to double them.
it's this movie that brought back to life the secret romance/romantic use of 3 simple words and how one says "As You Wish" when letting the other person figure out that your secretly madly in love with them.
The Princess Bride is one of my favorite childhood movies and I'm so Happy y'all enjoyed it!! I highly recommend watching The Court Jester, starring Danny Kaye. It's an action/comedy from the 50s that I still find hilarious and a very sweet film overall
45:32 this movie is quite popular at least in America, though it wasn’t a hit in theaters. It’s so many things, a fantasy, a romance, a comedy, a satire of fairy tales in general, it has a meta component in the grandfather reading the book to the grandson, it was difficult to sell to audiences at the time. However, after it was released on home video and later DVD, it attained a new audience that grew and grew. Nowadays, there is hardly a person I know who can’t quote at least a line or two, and many people cite it as their favorite movie to watch with family members. It’s a perfect gem of a movie that just about anyone of any age can enjoy, up to and including heads of state and at least one Pope, according to the actor Cary Elwes, who played Westley. Glad you all enjoyed it, read the book As You Wish if you’d like to hear about the making of process and the longevity of The Princess Bride.
Saw this in the drive in theatre when I was a kid when it first came out. It's been a staple of just about everyone's 80's movie experience. It's so nice that many years later it's still enjoyed by fresh audiences.
I'll add to the list of behind the scene stories. Andre the giant was so proud of being in the movie that he showed it so frequently at his house and invited people over that some of his friends tried to hide or discreetly try to get out of it. They didn't want to hurt his feelings because he was just so happy like a big kid. They said he genuinely really was a very kind person who had fun helping star in the movie.
I grew up with this movie, got to see in theaters for its anniversary, and there was young kids in front of me quoting the movie, and older ladies behind me chuckling along. It was a really special moment, to feel how this movie connects generations ❤
Universally loved movie, never meet someone who disliked it.
It seems inconceivable that it didn’t do well when it was released in theaters, but it didn’t. I’m happy that so many people have wised up to how great it is since then.
I used to work in a homeless youth shelter (14-19 yr olds), and since we'd play a movie before lights out each night, would bring this in once every couple months. Was so funny watching some of the new kids blanch at hearing the title and complain, while some of the longer term ones would talk them down to convince them to watch. 😂
Two types of people in the world: people who love this film, and people who’ve never seen it
My dad saw this movie in theaters when he was 12 and when it played on TV he recorded it on VHS. He watched it several times a week into adulthood and then would watch it with us every weekend when I was a kid. It's still one of my favorite movies and I can repeat it backwards and forewords almost lol
your reactions were so perfect! It made me so happy re-watching a movie I truly love and seeing you all get everything out of it that I want people to get in their first watches. Such a classic, you really can re-watch it over and over and it's endlessly quotable.
Inigo kissed the miracle pill, before giving it to Wrstley, and some of the miracle went to him, which enabled him to recover from the dagger wound to his belly.
"Get back Witch!"
"I'm not a Witch, I'm your Wife!"
Thoroughly enjoyed your reaction video! 😊 It was like watching 3 Princesses watching the Princess Bride” 🥰. Very adorable
So many people that haven’t seen this movie.
Inconceivable.
One of my favorite movies of all time. I'd watch it whenever I was home from school sick 😅
This movie is one of my favorites. My daughters and I watch it together when we cane.
The actress who played Buttercup also played Jenny in Forest Gump. And she was Wonder Woman's aunt General Antiope. :)
They don’t make movies like this anymore. There’s a shortage of perfect movies in this world. This movie is one of them! 10/10 movie and 10/10 reaction! Especially when you all put in masks 😂
This is one of my favorite movies and one that never gets old.
One of my favorite movies and books of all time.
When I tried to show the movie to my friends when we were about twenty, they had the same reaction as the kid, and they refused to watch it for years. When they did it took some convincing to stop them turning it off early on. They loved it by the end.
Peter Falk aka Columbo..."Inconceivable". This has one of cinema's great sword fights.
Chi exclaiming "Inconceivable!!!!" is the funniest thing I've seen on TH-cam in a LONG time!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When Inigo says to the brute squad, "Keep your ho there", he pronounces the last two words to sound like "hodair". In Spanish, the word "joder", pronounced that way, means "f*ck".
One of your best reaction videos yet! In America, this film is pretty popular, and I've always suspected it would have world wide appeal. Hopefully channels like yours raise awareness and maybe the next generation of kids all over the world will start watching The Princess Bride.
Great comment. We agree.
I mean, who doesn't love a good fairy tale with fighting, fencing, torture, giants, chases, escapes, true love, miracles....
Just so you girls know andrea the giant. Durring filming he would put his hand on buttercups head when she felt cold because his hands are the exact size her head She said he was the nicest person
Awww soo happy you ladies got to experience this film 🤭 such a feel good movie that you can’t help but smile watching
