[@kagemaru259]

Fun Facts about Andre The Giant. The cast all had very good things to say about Andre, especially about his generosity. Whenever they went out to dinner or for drinks during breaks in filming, Andre ALWAYS insisted on paying for everyone. The cast took his death very hard, especially Billy Crystal whom Andre became best friends with. Robin Wright (Buttercup) said her favorite memories of the shoot were that between takes she would be freezing; Andre would stand beside and wrap his arm around her or place his massive hand on her head to where his fingers would come down to near her chin; it kept her warm. Chris Sarandon's children were wrestling fans and were excited when they heard that he was in a movie with Andre. When he brought them to the set to meet him, they were initially terrified when they saw him in person but then warmed up to him because of his kind and gentle nature. Mandy Pantinkin (Inigo) became close to Andre. They were both interviewed together and Andre mentioned that making the film was one of his most enjoyable experiences. When asked what was his favorite part of the filming, he said "Nobody looks at me." The cast and crew looked fully accepted him despite his size. Christopher Guest (Rugan) mentioned that every time he saw Andre on set, he made a point to shake his hand at least once a day. He said that Andre's hands were like catcher's mitts and his own would disappear in them. Around this time, Andre was a "heel" (villain) in pro wrestling, which he did not like. One main reason he enjoyed making the film so much is that it let kids see him in a positive light.

[@AMortalDefiant]

19:07 - Contrary to popular belief (partly because of movies/TV) people don't usually die from abdominal wounds, and when they do it's usually from septic shock days later from fecal matter getting into the bloodstream. When triaging patients, abdominal wounds are typically very low on the list of priorities, unless they are accompanied by severe blood loss and/or abdominal distention (a sign of internal bleeding). In movies, they almost always show people dying nearly instantly, and that only happens in the rare cases that a major artery is severed (descending aorta, iliacs, or the upper part of the femoral). There were cases of soldiers from the US Civil War who were eviscerated by bayonets (guts pulled out), and they stuffed them back in, and survived. Even in those cases, the most immediate risk of death is from severe dehydration from the exposure of the intestines, followed by infection. My background is 10 years as a Navy Hospital Corpsman (similar to a combat medic), and I taught Combat Life Saver courses to US Marines, and Sailors.

[@Bill_the_curious]

Thank you. I am not surprised movies use an abdominal stab as immediate death.

R.I.P. Andre the Giant. What a human being!

[@PaulMcElligott]

1. Andre the Giant was suffering from a bad back through most of the filming, so he couldn’t actually pick anyone up. 2. When Cary Elwes starred in Mel Brooks’ Robin Hood: Men in Tights, because of this movie, he was the only member of the cast who didn’t need sword training. 3. Director Rob Reiner was leaving a restaurant in New York, and there were a bunch of tough-looking, kind of “mobster-y” guys getting out of a car. One of them recognized him and said, “Hey! You killed my father! Prepare to die!” Then the guy laughed and said, “I love that movie!”

[@louiscypher9558]

This is my favorite movie of all time. Fun fact Wallace Shawn had a terrifying fear of heights. During the cliffs of insanity scene he had a panic attack. Andre the giant hugged him and said "I won't let anything bad happen to you" and after that to this day his fear of heights is gone.

The large gentleman was Andre the Giant who was a professional wrestler by trade. You said his character was "lovely" and he was in real life too. There are many stories of how great he was with kids. My favorite story about him, however, is about a time he was in a bar. Some guys got out of a car and went inside. They saw him and immediately began to make fun of him and be rude. He patiently waited until he finished his drinks, paid, walked outside, and flipped their car over on its roof!!! With his bare hands! Classic!

[@dunringill1747]

Nice. Another story Andre told during an interview: Andre had a friend who drove a small car. His friend would park his car in a parking space on the side of a road where he lived. Andre would come by late at night and move the car (with his bare hands) to a nearby parking space somewhere on the other side of the road. Andre played this prank on his friend several times.

There is a Mel Brooks film, "Robin Hood: Men in Tights", that does share the same lead, Cary Elwes. It is also pretty funny. I used to be that way about people that may not have seen a film that I have. Than I remember how time works. Back in the 80's I hadn't exactly seen many 30, 40, year old films either. Thankfully these days it's so easy to rectify that with all the media at our fingertips.

[@gregraymond428]

Hey Dawn Marie. I’ve not ever seen this movie. But I can tell you some interesting facts about it. Andre The Giant who played the part of the giant in this movie, was born in a town in the French Alps called Grenoble. It was generally excepted that Andre stood at about 7 feet tall. He made his name in the world of professional wrestling. He was signed to the then WWF or World Wrestling Federation, back in the early 80s. For 15 years he remained the undefeated heavyweight wrestling champion, until WrestleMania 3 when at the then Pontiac Arena in front of 93,000 crazy wrestling fans, he fought Terry Hulk Hogan for the famous title. Hogan won by body slamming Andre. Andre had only one child, a daughter named Robin I believe. Andre sadly passed away alone in a French Hotel of a massive heart attack while asleep. He owned a lovely property in the Carolinas. Andre was an extreme heavy drinker too. Wine being his favourite tipple. But while filming the movie, Andre’s body started to cause him intense pain. His back and knees especially. He was so weak that in the scene where he had to catch Robin Wright as the bride, he couldn’t do it. They had to rely on some rigging so there was no weight involved for Andre. The world loved Andre. He was a lovely gentle giant and will be sadly missed.

[@SweetLou0523]

Mandy (Inigo) had recently lost his father to cancer so the line, "I want my father back you sonofabitch" was very difficult for him. He later stated in an interview that as famous as that line was, it isn't his favorite. His favorite, that he actually didn't remember till years later watching the film was, "I have been in the revenge business so long, that now that it's over, I do not know what to do with with rest of my life." Its a line that is lost on kids but hits home for adults.

[@draconasthewalker]

Just to add to this, the line "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father. Prepare to die." Is him speaking to the cancer that killed his father. Saw it on a video. Heartbreaking.

@@spearhafoc You should read the novel. Unlike the film, Peter S. Beagle's novel is an adult fantasy. Not x-rated adult but a fantasy written for an adult audience rather than for children. For the animated film the studio had Beagle remove all the literary and other references which only adults would find amusing. Beagle's writing is extraordinarily beautiful, and that marvelous prose craftsmanship, mostly found in the novel's narration, is missing from the animated film.

[@spearhafoc]

@@ElliotNesterman I have done. I'm a book reader more than a film watcher. Some books are adapted into passable and watchable films, such as the Last Unicorn. And the film version of The Princess Bride is an acceptable adaptation of that book, leaving out the book publishing and pseudo-historical pieces. Other film adaptations have me ripping my hair out, such as the rubbish churned out by Peter Jackson. Completely acceptable films for those that haven't read The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings but making too many unnecessary and illogical changes.

[@ElliotNesterman]

@@spearhafoc I thought the LOTR adaptations were excellent, though naturally enough much had to be left out. (I'm still hoping for a Tom Bombadil movie) His three Hobbit films are a bloated mess. There are several good fan edits of The Hobbit which remove all the invented prequel and sub-plot crap, and turn the twelve hours into one 3-4 hour movie. I've watched a few and the one I think is most successful is by Maple Films. Search for "Maple Films Hobbit fan edit" and you'll find your way to their website.

The novel, by screen writer William Goldman ("All the President's Men", "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"), is wonderful. It gives an elaborate meta-fictional backstory to the story-within-a-story's origin and its fictional author S. Morganstern, all of which was completely made up from whole cloth by Goldman himself, and mentions omitted material about the customs and history of Gildur and Florin. The story's true origin comes from Goldman's two daughters asking him to tell them a bedtime story, one daughter wanting a story about a Princess, and the other a story about a Bride.

[@ericjanssen394]

The book was starting to become a huge cult-hit when I was in early-80's high school, and we even read it as part of a section on fantasy novels.

"I want my Father back, you son of a bitch". That is why it is so raw and believable anger you see on his face. Still the best vengeance scene in cinema, in my opinion.

I've never understood why people ask why you haven't seen movies. Maybe because you have a life? Don't worry about it! When you mentioned that you thought this might have been a Mel Brooks movie, it's not, but there IS a connection. The movie was directed by Rob Reiner. His father, Carl Reiner was a comedy writer, along with Mel Brooks on Sid Ceaser's "Your Show of Shows" back in the 1950s. Carl and Mel also did some hilarious work together, especially with their "2000 Year Old Man" from the 1960s (check it out on KZbin!) Another movie that's really great is "My Favorite Year," which was very loosely based on the writers behind "Your Show of Shows," and has Peter O'Toole in a really terrific role.

Ah thanks for that! And thank you so much for watching 😁

If you're into 80's comedy I highly recommend "Better Off Dead" with John Cusack. One of my favorite movies and I find a lot of people haven't heard of it even. Only down side is you can pretty much only find it on dvd or blu-ray.

Seconded, it's like this movie has been forgotten, and it's so absurd and amazing.

[@n0tk0sher]

Truly an awesome spectacle.

HOORAY! The Princess Bride!

I love this movie. I have met three actors from this movie. Cary hosted a showing of the movie at my local theater. He told a story about how he got hurt filming the movie. Andre the Giant had to ride around the set on a 4 wheel ATV. He let Cary ride it and Cary hurt his toe on it. I met Wallace Shawn and Chris Sarandon at comic con. Chris is married to Susan Sarandon.

[@JHN12x12]

Carey did most of the training for the sword fight while recovering from that broken toe. I don't think it was quite healed when they filmed it.

[@biguy617]

@@JHN12x12 yeah I heard the director noticed Carey broke his toe.

[@JHN12x12]

@@biguy617 yes. as Carey tells it in his memoir, it's a pretty funny story!

[@tadmurphy7436]

I love seeing people watch that for the first time. It's an all-time favorite. I'm glad you liked it. I hope you find naked gun You're going to love it. Can't wait for the next one. You're awesome ❤️💚☘️

Ha! Great reaction to a great movie! You might try a movie called "Time Bandits" - it's got a bit of Princess Bride and a bit of Monty Python both. It was directed by Terry Gilliam who was a member of Monty Python (he did all the funny animations and he played "Patsy", the guy who banged the coconuts together, in Holy Grail) and the movie has a few other Monty Python alum. It's a ton of fun!

[@1nelsondj]

This movie is a beloved classic. Solid cast, my favorite is Peter Falk who played the detective Lt. Columbo for decades. What made the show great was the audience was showed a murder in the beginning so there was no mystery to guess at, only how the Lt. was going to figure it out.

[@LoZenith75]

Love your reaction!!! That is one of my favourite movie ever. I subscribed at once :)

[@Rasputin443556]

Since Mandy Patinkin reminded you of Paul Rudd, might I suggest Clueless? It would be inconceivable that you would not recognize at least one other actor in that movie as well.

[@notabritperse]

Don't sweat it. When I hear that people are just getting around to a classic, I'm jealous. I would love to recapture the feeling of experiencing Python, Raising Arizona, The Wire, etc. for the first time. Good work! Keep 'em coming!!!

[@andrewcharles459]

I find watching these reaction videos gives me as much pleasure as I got watching them the first time.

[@Mboogie69]

It is inconceivable that people still exist that haven’t seen this.

[@gr8fulted49]

Give The Big Lebowski a try. Hilarious!

[@zackgallardo]

Every child should have a copy of this film in their home.

[@tofersiefken]

It's been fun re-discovering my favorite films with you. The fact that you haven't yet seen these is a positive attribute making your reactions spontaneous and more genuine. Keep being You.

[@44excalibur]

I think you talked through the part where Wesley suggests that Inigo takes his place as the Dread Pirate Roberts.

[@Hogtownboy1]

Here is a fun fact . It was suppose to be titled the Princes' bride because it is plural of Prince but it confused people so the studio changed the title to Princess Bride

[@JHN12x12]

no. the book this movie was based on, written before the screenplay even existed, is called The Princess Bride. William Goldman, the author (and also writer of the screenplay), asked his two young daughters what kind of story they might like to hear. one said she wanted one about a princess, the other wanted one about a bride.

[@jenhalbert3001]

Yeah, this is a perfect movie. And it's always a good time to watch it, wonderful for putting you in a good mood or filling a rainy afternoon or showing to friends who probably also haven't seen it and will like you a little more for it.

[@mikejohnson-dl7vt]

You are so sweet,cute,fun+REFRESHING to "watch with"! Thank you for posting good stuff😉🤙

Aww thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@808maxstone]

Hi Dawn. Greeting from Iowa, USA. The Princess Bride is such a good movie. Glad you liked it. Total classic. Take care.

[@traog]

The "As you wish" especially at the end of the movie, reminds me of how after seeing this movie, when my Mom would ask for something he'd say "As you wish"
