Mandy was channeling the death of his real father to pancreatic cancer in that final battle scene It was a therapeutic release of the grief and anger he had carried with him since the tragic loss.

[@agentsculder2451]

The thing that makes that first sword fight so impressive is that aside from the high bar thing, Cary and Mandy did all of it. They were both determined to not use stunt doubles and trained their asses off. The different fencing terms are real and they are performing them in real time. Bob Sanderson, the legendary sword fight coordinator who also worked on The Lord of the Rings films did this movie as well

[@Derek-el5iv]

Bob Anderson. Darth Vader's stunt double and Olympic fencer. He also choreographed Zorro, Highlander, Pirates of the Carribbean (Black Pearl), several James Bond films, and tons more. Bob Anderson was the GOAT cinematic fight choreographer. He said in this movie, that Patinkin and Elwes had to be curtailed several times as they would take every lunch break to rehearse this scene, and would fight 'hammer and tongs' until he feared for their safety. Check out the book "By the Sword: A History of Gladiators, Musketeers, Samurai, Swashbucklers, and Olympic Champions" if you're interested in that sort of thing. Great book.

[@Grandtheatrix]

​@Derek-el5iv Man was Errol Flynn's stunt double. As far as stone cold badasses, I think Christopher Lee and Bob Anderson tie.

ALSO, when Cary did Robin Hood amen in Tights, he was the only sword actor that didn’t have to train. Because of this movie.

So Peter Falk doing that little searching thing was his Homage to his character columbo. Columba was always doing that in every episode searching every pocket for something.

One of the most universally beloved films of all time.

The actor that plays King Humperdink (Chris Sarandon) was also the voice actor for Jack Skellington in the nightmare before Christmas. I know there's a lot of big names in this, but I just felt like pointing him out because I recently got his autograph as Jack and that was awesome.

[@gaylesmith8187]

I was hoping someone mentioned this. He was also Jerry Dandrige (the vampire) in the original Fright Night and in the first Child's Play movie.

[@CalliopePony]

I love seeing how Adam keeps glancing over at Jay to watch his reactions. Buttercup's parents were in the book as the ones who owned the farm, but they got cut out of the movie. They were present at the very beginning, but they died during the time skip, so they didn't really figure into the main story. The story behing the sword fight scene is amazing. William Goldman described it as "the greatest swordfight in modern times" and the movie makers had to figure out how to show that on screen. They got Bob Anderson and Peter Diamond to choreograph the fight and train the actors (Bob Anderson is responsible for the lightsaber battles in Star Wars as well as the swordfighting in Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, and both men worked on various parts of the Zorro franchise). Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin really did learn how to fence both left- and right-handed. They started training at the very beginning of production, and the sword fight was one of the very last scenes they filmed in order to get as much preparation in as possible. They studied classic swashbuckling movies to get ideas for how to enhance the scene, and they kept adding to it and refining it as they went. When Buttercup falls into the quicksand they had a trapdoor for her to fall through. Cary Elwes was originally supposed to jump in feet-first, but he felt like that wasn't heroic enough, so he asked permission from the stunt coordinators to dive in head-first. They were very cautious about it, but after testing it out with the stunt double they allowed Cary to dive in himself.

Some facts from the movie: The falling stunt was done by the same stunt guy for both characters. The sword fight was choreographed by the same guy who did the Errol Flynn movies, and was the last scene filmed. Both actors kept adding adlibs and moves adding to the length. Andre was suffering from a back injury so he do no actual lifting during the movie. Wesley (Cary) suffered a concussion in the scene Count Rogu (Guest) Billy Crystal kept adlibbing his line during the Miracle Max scene and Elwes and the Director both had to leave the set because they kept laughing.. Especially Elwes as he was supposed to be mostly dead at the time. Guest said he was not entirely sure that Mandy wasn't going to actually kill him in the duel, he was just that intense. The entire cast has said it was some of the most fun they have ever had making a movie. Andre commented that he had never felt so included in any project in his life, he was just one of the guys to everyone else.

My favorite thing about the book is the framing device. It too treats the story as coming from a beloved classic book -- William Goldman tells the reader he's merely publishing an abridged version, cutting out all the boring bits. I can't find my copy just now, but IIRC in the Author's Note in the edition published after the movie, he talks about modern-day Florin/Guilder relations and the Cliffs of Insanity (countries and a location that OFC don't exist) becoming a tourist trap thanks to the film's popularity. Goldman never breaks character!

[@Pyrochase]

The scene at the end with Mandy Patinkin when he says "I want my father back you son of a bi***" was actually his emotional response to the loss of his own father. His father had terminal cancer and had only just recently passed away before the filming (Edit: Died when he was 18, my bad). His father wanted him to complete the film and encouraged him to continue. So when he said that line it was directed at the cancer that stole his father from him. He did a small tik-tok response clip to a young lady who asked him about this line and he told the story and was very emotional about the meaning of this scene to him. This is one of my most very favorite movies.

If you liked this (and if you haven't seen it already) I'd suggest watching Galavant. It is a musical medieval comedy created by Dan Fogelman, who made Tangled, with music by Alan Menken, who has 8 oscars under his belt and wrote the music for a load of the Disney Renaissance films including Aladdin and Hunchback. Honestly, even if it doesn't necessarily work out as a reaction I'd recommend watching it for your own enjoyment if you haven't previously. It's also only 18 half hour long episodes (which is criminally short if you ask me) and it absolutely shows its quality from the very first episode.

You know I was raised on this movie and I've never noticed that.

I can't believe Jay's never seen this movie. I don't even believe you are a complete human until you've seen this.

Andre was a very loving individual. At one point, while filming , Robyn was freezing, so Andre put his hand on her head to warm her up. Anothet time he let one rip for a solid minute (legend has it) and afterward the director, Rob Reiner, asked if he was okay and Andre replied "I am now, boss." Great movie

Many people don't know, this movie was actually based on a real book -- which was about a dad reading a fictional book to his son. The best part of the book is the dad discovering all the "editing" that HIS dad did to the original story. I would love to see a remake some day that shows the kid, now as an adult, reading the book to HIS kid and discovering how terrible the REAL story was, and having to re-edit it his OWN way for his own kid. You could have a LOT of fun with that! In any case, I have a ton of fun watching people discover this gem! Glad you enjoyed it, and as always, thank you for the reaction!

It’s SOOO obvious! In the remake, it’s Fred Savage telling the story to either his own child or perhaps a niece or nephew. To get devices out of the picture perhaps he tells the story during a thunderstorm with a power outage and dead batteries?

When the grandpa says "As you wish" at the end, gets me every time!

Oh my gosh. Jay doing the Tim Gunn “Andre” took me out. That was peak Project Runway.

Cary did get knocked out from the sword butt to the head. Also his no blinking monologue stare was magnificent!

Vizzini: "The Cliffs of Insanity!" Jay and Adam: "Hooray! Oh, 'Ahhhhhhh'!" Comedy. 😂
