I've heard that Andre the Giant was in incredible pain during the filming of this movie. The medical condition that caused his great size also put a terrible strain on his body and undoubtedly contributed to his early death. I believe he was also slow in healing from an injury suffered from his wrestling career. In spite of the great pain he said being a part of this film was one of his proudest moments. Being able to show the world that his massive size was matched by his equally enormous heart!

[@fgdhjh]

I'm so sad to hear this story about his health.

[@0okamino]

With his particular condition of gigantism (the onset of his acromegaly was so early that he was already taller than 190cm by age 12), André had a maximum life expectancy of 40 years. He lived to almost 47. He was an undeniably extraordinary gentleman in so many ways.

34:09 Yup, how big his hands were, was one of the things he was famous for. He was one of the tallest people in the world at the time. Actually Robin Wright tells a story about him. She says that one day the whole crew went horseback riding in the countryside and got caught in freezing rain on the way back. She says he noticed her shivering and rested his hand on her head like a hat. She says it kept her dry and warm surprisingly well. It also made her feel safe.

André 'the giant' (his wrestling name) was so strong that Arnold Schwarzenegger (the actor who body builder) said that he had once went out to dinner with Andrè and when the bill came and they were arguing about who was going to pay it Andrè lifted up Arnold like he was a doll and sat him on the top of a tall cabinet so that he could go ahead and pay for their dinner and after he finished paying he came back and put Arnold back on the floor so that they could continue with their evening. Arnold is 6'2". Andrè was 7'2" and 520 pounds.😮

Elena, You are Looking especially Stunning in this Reaction....... Great Reaction..... Everyone comments about how "Over the Top" this movie is and how "Useless" Buttercup is.... Reminder, You are watching this from the Imagination of an 8 year old boy who is listening to a story....... The Grandfather is best known for his role "Columbo" a Detective TV movie series in the 1970's... The Grandson was the lead from the TV show "Wonder Years"...... Fesik is played by Professional Wrestler Andre the Giant, He Past Away to Young at Age 46..... The Cliff-Top Duel was practiced by Wesley & Indigo, through-out the filming and one of the last things filmed..... And is considered one of the best filmed duels in movie history, and all but the gymnastic flips is the actual actors..... When 6-Fingered Man hit Wesley on the Head, it was a real hit and put the actor for Wesley in the hospital.... The Director had to leave the set when Filming the Miracle Max scenes cause the Actor Billy Crystal kept making him laugh.... If you notice, when Indigo delivers the line "I want my Father Back...." the actor drops the spanish accent, one reason is he was channeling how he felt about loosing his Father to Cancer.....

Thanks a lot CoastalNomad 🤗 And thanks for this info!😉

We watch and rewatch the dvd, and the informative bonuses. Did you know Count Reugen actually knocked farmboy out. He woke up in hospital, the doc called him zorro, because of his costume. He also had an injured foot, in the Sword fight. Carey Elwes was in Ella Enchanted.

Elena, I don't know if you've seen any "John Wick" movies, but in them they say the name 'Baba Yaga', but they pronounce it differently from you. They said, BA-ba, YAY-ga. It's nice to see someone who knows who Peter Falk was 🕯 Mark Knopfler is the composer of the music for this movie. He was the leader/guitarist/songwriter of the legendary band, 'Dire Straits'.

[@lazerx1828]

In the beginning Buttercup did not agree to marry the prince because of "boredom", if you listened they said that the prince had the right to choose his bride. She had no choice in the matter.

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

I don't think I've ever met anyone who didn't love The Princess Bride. Not many people today recognize Peter Falk. Columbo was one of the great fictional detectives, but since most of the shows were made in the 70s, many young people today haven't seen them. The movie is based on the book of the same name by William Goldman. One of his two daughters had asked him for a story about a princess, and the other for a story about a bride. He combined the two ideas, and included elements of stories he had already told his girls. Rob Reiner directed The Princess Bride. He's made several classic films, including This Is Spinal Tap (maybe the first mockumentary), Stand by Me, When Harry Met Sally, Misery, and A Few Good Men. When Harry Met Sally would be a good one for you to react to if you're looking for another romantic movie. Stand by Me is an excellent coming of age story.

[@briangreen9677]

Elena, it's awesome that you finally got to see this movie. I remember going to see it in the theater in 1987. I had an uncle that loved watching pro wrestling, and Andre the Giant was a part of all that. Seeing him play this role changed my entire perception of him and it's such a great thing that he got a chance to play this role because so many people thought just like me. Now, we remember him for this fantastic role and barely remember his wrestling days. There are a LOT of fantastic films that came out in the 80s that I hope you get a chance to see. It's awesome that you got a little vacation even if it was really hot. Hopefully it didn't get above 35C. It was 39C here in Arizona today. Normal summer weather. Anyway, it's good to see you back at it. Take care and keep smiling!

Hi Elena, nice reaction! I'm glad that you recognised Peter Falk from his lead role in "Columbo". Many of the actors in this movie, even in small roles, were well-known American and British actors and comedians at the time. One of my favourites was Peter Cook (yes, another named Peter), who played the old man priest at the unsuccessful wedding ceremony. He had been part of the British comedy quartet, Beyond The Fringe, that had all been students at Oxford and Cambridge Universities. And with one of his colleagues from that project, Dudley Moore, he created a movie in the 1960s called "Bedazzled", based on the story of Faust, who traded his soul to the Devil for worldly success. That is why his casting as a priest in this movie is so funny, because he played the Devil in "Bedazzled". kzbin.info/www/bejne/baecn62cjr90fM0
