Part of the reason Mandy Patinkin loves this role so much is because it helped him during the grieving process of his own father dying. His father died of cancer not long before he got the role of Inigo Montoya, and he used his grief to inform his performance of a son avenging the death of his father. I personally get emotional when he tells the 6 fingered man (Christopher Guest, btw) "I want my father back, you son of a bitch."

Mandy Patinkin tells a great story about the Cliffs of Insanjty scene. Wallace Shawn( Vinzini ) was terribly scared of heights, even just a few feet. Some of it was shot on a set, vertically. Wally was terrified, could not control himself, was afraid that Rob Reiner would have to replace him . Andre the Giant saw that something was wrong and asked about it. Wally explained. Andre took Wally's hand in his own, said, "Don't worry, I take care of you." Wallywas cured, just like that, shot the rest of the sequence without any trouble.

@artbagley14062 жыл бұрын
The fencing scenes were fought by Cary and Mandy; they practiced daily for at least 4 months each (I think Mandy maybe for 5 months). They had as coaches olympic coaches/fencing experts who had taught the likes of actors Burt Lancaster and Erroll Flynn. Rob Reiner wanted HIS fencing scene here in "TPB" to be greater than any of those in earlier films. Mandy and Cary started their learning by tackling the LEFT HANDED sequences first!
@donwild502 жыл бұрын
The names used in the sword fight were those of actual historic fencing masters, Rocco Bonetti, Ridolfo Capo Ferro, Girard Thibault and Camillo Agrippa. The techniques performed have little if any relationship to the fencing techniques actually taught by these men but there is some very obscure but sly wit involved which only persons familiar with the styles taught would catch. For example "You're using Bonetti's Defense!" Ironic, as Bonetti's Defense, if it existed wasn't very good since he was killed outside his own school by an Englishman. Capo Ferro would have looked at the scene and scoffed because his treatise said the cuts and spins were useless and almost all rapier work should be linear and purely directed at the thrust. Camillo Agrippa disagreed and said cuts and thrusts were valid...but he would have said the extreme parries were over the top as he reduced the classical eleven guard positions to only four. And Thibault wouldn't have agreed with any of them because, unlike the others who taught the Italian School linear thrust techniques, he was a master of the Spanish School, which was based on a very circular theory. (Ironically, if you watched the Antonio Banderas "Zorro" movies, the training he receives from Hopkins is almost totally in the Spanish School style.)

A bitter sweet thing about this film was Andre's health. This was towards the end of his life and he had a lot of health problems. In the scenes where he is carrying Buttercup, he insisted on a harness and wire do the actual lifting because with his back he was afraid he would drop her. The actress tells this story about him. They went riding horses in the rain and she was shivering because she was cold and drenched. He noticed and rested his hand on her head like a hat. She said the heat from his hand warmed her up and made her feel safe. The actress chocked up a bit when talking about him, saying he was one of the kindest people she'd ever met.

Andre the Giant is on record of saying that making this film was his favorite time in his life. Him and the cast became extremely close. Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin have sooo many Andre stories :) he loved it so much because he didn't feel like an outsider like he did everywhere else. He felt like an equal while working with the cast and crew. When Andre died the whole cast was devastated. Robin Wright can't talk about him without tears welling up in her eyes. There's a great story about how Wallace Shawn (who played the little guy Vizzini) how he was deathly afraid of heights. So much so, that he was having panic attacks about going up the cliffs of Insanity. He was afraid he was going to get fired. Finally, when it came time to shoot the scene, Andre saw how nervous Shawn was. Andre cradled him while they were in the harness (there weren't dummies, it was actually them!) and according to Mandy Patinkin "Andre patted his head and whispered, 'Don't worry. I'll take care of you,'" all the way up. Shawn had no more issues with the cliffs from then on :)

To slightly clarify: the moment when it was the long shot, and she commented that they were probably dummies: they were in fact dummies on a stunt actor in that shot. Andre the Giant did not *literally* haul three grown adults up a thousand foot cliff. But the close-ups of the three of them strapped to Andre, when Vizzini is berating him for not climbing faster: that was on a set piece that was some few feet off the ground. Wallace Shawn was indeed scared, and Andre did indeed (according to anecdotes told by Mandy Patinkin and other cast members) soothe and calm him. So your story is true, but there were intercuts of a stunt person with dummies for the long shots, also.
@movieandtheatrelover558728 күн бұрын
He nearly didnt perform the role either. The author of the novel wrote the role of Fezzik with Andre specifically in mind for it. Andre he felt was perfect for the role. When they first tried to get him in this movie they found he was scheduled to perform a wrestling match in Japan which would conflict with filming and he was getting paid 5 million dollars to perform that match. Because the crew could not match that salary Andre was not available to perform the role. So at that time it was looking bleak for the producers. They did try other tall guys for the role but they knew none of them could really fill andres boots. By luck, Andre's match got cancelled and hence he was able to perform the role.

"Where does this take place?" That's actually an interesting question. The book this movie is based on is written from the perspective of its author, William Goldman. In it, he claims he sought after this book so that he may write a translation for his son as a means of getting closer to him, and after a lengthy battle with the original author's family in Florin (who owned the rights) he was finally able to publish his translation. He also teased the first chapter of a sequel he was writing, which you could request from his publisher. Only this book never actually existed, neither did his son (he had two daughters), the wife he described was fictional, and the country never existed. Although you would receive the first chapter of the sequel if you wrote the publisher, the sequel didn't actually exist, and neither did the publisher. Long story short, it takes place in Florin, a fake small european country the author gaslit the readers into believing. Also, I highly recommend reading the book of you have a chance, well worth it.

Buttercup says “we’ll never survive,” and Westley responds with supreme confidence and not a hint of sarcasm, “Nonsense! You’re only saying that because no on ever has.” Also, there’s a line in the book that almost made it to the movie and I wish they left the whole thing in. That line is “who says life is fair? It’s just fairer than death is all.”

True Story of when I first saw this movie: A college friend and I lived at the movies every weekend (neither of us had girlfriends at the time.. geeks, you know). We went and saw this movie on a sneak peek weekend before anyone knew anything about it. The theater was absolutely empty - maybe a half dozen people on a Saturday afternoon. During the Fire Swamp scene, there was a bunch of vertical lines running through the film print so we told the theater manager after it was over. He said he knew and gave us free passes to come see it again the next weekend when he'd have a replacement print. Of course, we'd go.. it was an awesome movie. The next weekend, the theater was packed - literally Standing Room Only. Word had gotten out about it (this is pre-Internet, it was all word of mouth). When Inigo finally delivers his famous line to the Count, the audience absolutely erupted in applause, followed by a chaotic eruption of laughter when he turned and ran. This is such an amazing, beautiful movie. Practically a pre-requisite for you to watch if you're going to be my friend.

It is hard to put forward a strong recommendation without accidentally adding a 'spoiler'... so I'll stop here.

When I was a kid, my best friend and I got wooden swords from the local renaissance fair and would have little battles in my front yard. He pulled the "I know something you don't: I am not left handed" thing on me and I hadn't seen the movie yet. Afterwards, he and I would emulate Inigo and Westley's fight with Nerf swords years later. This has always been one of my favorite movies because of those memories, not just from watching the flick. Also, as I said in a reply to another comment here, Mandy Patinkin says his "I want my father back, you son of a bitch" line with such passion because sadly his father passed away from cancer just before filming began, and the line was obviously fairly cathartic for him at the moment.

One of my uncles saw this movie when it came out in theaters, he says that at "I want my father back you son of a b!tch" people stood up and cheered. Also, notice how Inigo returns every injury he received in reverse order (except the gut shot, which was a dishonorable move), starting with the shoulders, then the cheeks, and finally through the heart. Giant fact: For the beginning of the cliff climbing scene, they built a rubber foam facade of the base of the cliff with a forklift behind it to lift them up; supposedly (this part may not be true) they originally planned on using a pulley mechanism but even with five men pulling it they couldn't lift Andre. Also, Wallace Shawn (Vizzini) was absolutely _terrified_ of heights, but Andre stroked his hair like a pet and told him "Don't worry my friend, I have you", and he was totally fine for the rest of the day's filming.

"I didn't know this was going to be poking fun at the fantasy genre" This was like a whole thing in the 80's. Starting with "Monty Python and The Holy Grail". Director Terry Gilliam followed that up with "Jabberwocky", "Time Bandits", and "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen". Fellow Python Terry Jones directed "Erik the Viking" and Graham Chapman wrote "Yellowbeard". For that matter, the second Conan movie, aiming for a more kid-friendly audience, toned down the violence and cranked up the comic relief. And Willow is from George Lucas, so, like Star Wars, its full of quirky characters and banter

"Life IS pain...." and "I want my father back, you..." My only regret about this movie is that I think Buttercup is beautiful, but dumb as a rock.
