First time you saw the movie?
Plot:
-I like the grandpa previews the whole movie explaining what was going to be in the movie
-Robin Wright was hot.
-Epic opening, love and loss.
-No way they didn't know how funny the name Humperdink was.
-Pretty epic beginning... Royalty, a wedding, kidnapping.
-Love the use of miniatures with the boats. It's very awesomely 80's.
-OK, so the plan is to kidnap the princess, take her to another land, kill her, and make the price think it was those people to start a war?
-Inigo Montoya is a very honorable guy, helping Wesley up the cliff
-When they jump off the rock while fighting, you can definitely tell there is a pad where they land.
-The fight is so over te top, but in a good way.
-Its amazing how fast this movie moves. Already defeated Montoya and Fezzik
-I love the rodents are clearly dudes in a rodent suit
-It's a very basic story, but classic and timeless.
-When Buttercup tells off the prince, calling him a coward, it's so overdramatic
-Billy Crystal is so perfect for Miracle Max
-Wuv, twu wuv...
-Good fight with Inigo
The end
Top Five Trivia of the movie:
5 trivia
1. Elwes wasn't the first choice for Westley
In fact, Oscar winner, Colin Firth was originally in the running to play Cary Elwes.
2. Wrestler André the Giant didn't actually do any heavy lifting
Following a major back surgery, Andre the Giant (André René Roussimoff) could not lift any heavy objects, instead, the seven foot and 540-pound actor used a stunt double for the majority of his more physical scenes.
3. One of the final scenes did not make the final cut
Before it was cut from the film, Fred Savage originally walked over to his window, after his grandfather had left and sees Fezzik, Inigo, Westley, and Buttercup all on riding on their white horses.
4. Patinkin was thinking of his late father when he delivered his most famous line
When Patinki uttered his Spanish vow, "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die," he was sadly thinking of his father who has died of cancer a few years prior to reading the script.
5. Elwes filmed many scenes with a broken toe
Six weeks into production, Elwes had an accident in an ATV (which was used to transport Andre on set, because he didn't fit into the crew van), leaving him with a broken toe. Initially, Elwes tried to hide his injury from the director, but they ended up using trick photography to hide his limp in many of his scenes.
