THE PRINCESS BRIDE (1987) TWIN BROTHERS FIRST TIME WATCHING MOVIE REACTION!

[@OctoKrool]

[@Ashley-tw6ho]

​@@OctoKrool I also recall The scene in the first Twilight movie where Bella questions Edward on how he managed to stop the van from crushing her with his bare hands. She didn't know he was a vampire but she knew he was some kind of superhuman. And she wouldn't stop trying to make him be honest and tell her the truth. And he asked Bella, "Your not going to let this go are you?" And Bella answers, "No". And Edward replies back, "Well then, I Hope you enjoy being disappointed." And then he just walks away. It's a good thing they had a eternal soulmate bond that brought them together forever because he was a bit of a jerk in the beginning as he was trying to protect his secret. But he and Wesley pulled off saying something like that very well.

[@Ashley-tw6ho]

@@jasong.5165 According to most sources, the five Twilight movies together made over $3.6 billion worldwide, with "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" generally considered the highest-grossing film in the series. Well, I have remained a devoted and loyal fan of Twilight all these years even before the movies. The books were better than the movies. I think the Twilight and Eclipse novels had some of the best dialogue between Edward and Bella and also the other characters as well that never made it into the film. Thanks to Twilight, ALOT of kids, teens and young adults and even fans in their 40s and on up were reading again thanks to Twilight. So I think a lot of positive things came out of Twilight to encourage people to read more in general. I think it sparked a lot of people to read more. I heard several teachers being thankful for books like Twilight that encouraged their kids to pick up a book and read more. But since your a hater, I guess this means you don't plan to watch the new Twilight tv show when it comes out around 2026. When they bring our beloved characters back to life, I guess that will be a very miserable time for you. Because the long devoted Twi-hearts have never forgotten and have continued to love these characters for many years now. But it's ok if your not a fan. But you can't ignore how huge Twilight was. I mean, fans camped out for days and days for these movies. I have never before witnessed such a huge fanbase before for any other movie consistently after each new movie came out. It just got bigger and bigger. Only Star Wars trilogy fans and Harry Potter fans I ran into and had to fight through the crowds shockee me as much as a Twilight fans did. And I'm a huge Star Wars fan. But I feel like Twilight got even more insane with its large fan base and it wasn't just the teenagers, Older women were also obsessed with the movie. It was a great time I do recall. ALOT of us even had Twilight parties back in the day that was a pretty big hit. Overall, I remember a lot of wonderful things from those days. If you bumped into a fellow Twilight fan, It's like you just clicked became instant friends for life. Twilight brought alot of people together. There was a lot of love and friendship for the movie and it's cast as well as the fans who befriended one another. So I will always look back during that time with fond memories. And I cannot wait for them to bring our beloved characters back in the TV show. But they are also going to make a TV show for Harry Potter so if you're into that you could check that out instead. I hope you have a blessed day.

Mandy Patankin (Inigo Montoya) recently lost his father to cancer when filming this movie. During the final duel with Count Rugen (6 Fingers), he visualized Rugen as the cancer that took his father. That's why there's so much emphasis in Inigo's 'I want my father back, you S.O.B.'

To which Andre said "I am now boss." 😅

It actually lead to another crazy Andre story, Vince McMahon paid for a surgery that was going to help with his back & knee problems, the Anesthesiologist had no idea how much gas to give him because they'd never done a surgery on a man his size, several experts were stumped too. Even he asked if Andre drinks, he admitted he did and then he asked how much would it take to get him drunk. He said "it usually takes 2 liters of Vodka to make me feel warm inside".

Buttercup is a flower, so it's like being named Lily or daisy, just more cutsey and flamboyant.

Your reaction was great! I read Cary Elwes' book, "As You Wish," and I think he would like everything you appreciated about the film. Especially your praise about the big fencing scene and their dialogue. About that scene, Cary and Mandy had to practice so hard for it because it was meant to be "the greatest duel in history" or something like that. In between scenes their trainer would call them over to practice all the time. One cool thing that I didn't know, but learned from the book, was that in true fencing the non-sword hand is relaxed so they worked on perfecting even those details. Now when I see fencing in other movies I'm like, "Oh. Their non-sword hands are tensed, it's ruined for me." Lol!

[@corinna007]

Fun fact: Cary Elwes had to be replaced with a dummy and Rob Reiner had to leave the room during the Miracle Max scene, because neither of them could stop laughing.

Vizzini was a fun character (the little bald guy), played by Wallace Shawn. You may recognise him from Star Trek DS9, as the Grand Negas of Ferenganaar. But he has been in heaps of other things too, like Young Sheldon, for example. I also liked the marriage priest (or should I say "mawwage", LOL). Miracle Max and his wife, the Albino, ... lots of characters. But I do admit that Robin Wright as Buttercup was stunningly beautiful, quite a crush on her. A few scares too, the Shrieking Eels, the Fire Swamp, the Machine, ... but there was way more fun, a very pleasant movie.

Endlessly quotable. I used the R.O.U.S's line all the time and the "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya..." line is so beloved.

[@jasonjanisewski78]

I contend that this movie has the highest approval rating of any movie ever made. I have never come across a single person who did not enjoy the movie.

21:45 Her sisters Blossom and Bubbles were already married to Prince Valium and Lord Farquaad, I think that's why you find the name weird, they usually come as a trio.

Peter Falk (the grandpa) does the voice of one of the gangster sharks in the movie Sharks Tail. He also played Colombo... Lost an eye when he was in his teens/twenties.

Vizzini's intellect borders on the clairvoyant. When given all the information, he can *conceive* of every outcome and choose the best one. Wesley is a complete X factor. Vizzini knows nothing about him. So everything that Wesley is going to do is completely... *INCONCEIVABLE.*

[@peggymiller2475]

I am so happy to see you react to this! It has been one of my favorite movies since it came out. I rewatch it at least once a year. I also quote it all the time. In my opinion, it can only be described as perfect...casting, dialogue, scenic, music....a rare gem. I work in theater, and years ago I worked on a show that starred Fred Savage (the grandson) every time he asked for anything, the whole crew responded with, "As you wish..."

[@maddwitch]

Christopher Guest, the actor who played Count Rugen, was actually nervous and kind of intimidated because of how intense Mandy Patinkin was in that last duel. Earlier, when Count Rugen bonks Wesley in the head, they were having a hard time making it look good, so Cary Elwes told Guest to just go ahead and actually hit him with the hilt of the sword. Unfortunately, it actually knocked him out and he ended up with a concussion.

The word masterpiece gets thrown around a lot but The Princess Bride is one of the few movies, I think, that lives up to the term. So few movies are able to stand the test of time as well as this one.

[@EndymionDeVere]

It’s one of my favorite films. Every scene is iconic. Every queen is quotable af. And it has so much heart

[@NoPowerintheVerse]

You cut out the line, “never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line,” and “you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” ?!? Inconceivable!!

[@joepegel]

"As you wish" The second best final line of any movie ever.

[@Blazingstoke]

What's the best? "Well, nobody's perfect"?

[@joepegel]

@@Blazingstoke "I hope."

[@mattc3581]

@@Blazingstoke Good call, that's a classic. (from 'Some like it hot', for anyone interested but not recognising it.)

12:30 yeah, the sword fighting was real, they practiced Fencing during the entire filming and filmed that last... then the flips and stuff were added by the directer to space out the awesome sword fighting and make the scene last longer. But yeah those are the actual actors doing it, not stunt doubles.

[@melissaniro8370]

It’s in my top 5 movies-I watched it when I stayed home sick from school…it’s so well done and it has everything

[@kelly6491]

Yay. Childhood fav 💕 it’s never stopped being brilliant. Glad you guys loved it too!

[@breshab2564]

I’m so happy you guys reacted to this film. The dialogue is beyond amazing. It is my favorite movie of all time! I got to introduce it to my daughter and it’s her favorite too! A true classic ❤

-Darth Vader: "No disintegrations" -Bobba Fett: "As you wish". That day, Vader found in awe that when Bobba was saying "As you wish", what he meant was "I love you" -Vader: "Bounty hunter... Fetch me that pot... please"

[@Bookq36]

The fact that Bob Anderson was sword master on OG Star Wars and he did Vader's swordfights for Empire and Jedi. He was also sword master on LOTR, Pirates of the Carribean and Princess Bride... which means that Vader taught Inigo, Aragorn and Capt. Jack Sparrow how to sword fight

And Fett was almost killed by a “pirate” as well. Lando’s words, not mine.

[@McZorr0101]

For the sword fight scene at the top of the Cliffs of Insanity Cary Ewles and Mandy Patinkin were given the choreographed fight sequence to rehearse. When they came back they were too quick and so the fight had to be elaborated to bring it up the the time that was wanted for the scene. These guys were really dedicated to these parts

[@scientistservant]

My entire family LOVES this movie. We even named our golden doodle after Andre the Giant’s character, Fezzik 😂

[@valogden]

My kids watched this movie at least once a week when they were growing up and now my grandkids love it. Funny, it's one of the movies I have seen hundreds of times and I never get sick of it.

[@leif712009]

This is me and my wife’s favorite movie, came out when we were teens. All of our kids (now grown up) have seen it and love it too. Now have 2 grandkids and when they get old enough they’ll get to see it too! 😊

[@UserName-vb4lg]

There’s an homage to the princess bride people made during lockdown. It’s AMAZING. You can find it on KZbin.

[@marleybob3157]

Cary Elwes (Wesley) wrote a book about filming this movie. In it, he talks aboutAndre the Giant drinking during filming. According to Elwes, the famed wrestler preferred a concoction that consisted of 40 ounces of various liquors poured into a pitcher. Elwes said that Andre would drink several of these in a single sitting. "I’ve never tasted airplane fuel," Elwes said, "But I imagine it’s very close to what that must taste like. It’s very potent indeed, and I remember coughing a lot. But to him, it was like chugging water.” Elwes, Andre and their The Princess Bride co-star Mandy Patinkin drank together quite a bit and at the end of the shoot, Andre reportedly had a $40,000 bar tab at his hotel. Also, Elwes confirmed that the New York Police Department assigned a cop to follow Andre around when he was on a bender, lest he fall and crush a bar patron. Not that alcohol affected him much. In fact, according to Elwes, it didn’t affect him at all. "He didn’t flub a line or miss a day."

Love that you guys picked up on the symmetry of the wounds in the fight with the six fingered man.
