The actress who played Buttercup was terrified the first time she saw him. He is one of the largest humans to ever live. He was actually a giant. RIP. He was like 7'6 and 500 pounds. He was never going to live to reach 50 because of his giant-ism. He could drink 100 beers and not be particularly drunk. He said that he 'quit drinking' when he only drank 3 bottles of wine a day.

When Robin Wright (Buttercup) was filming the boat scene she was shivering from being wet and being in the cold. Andre the Giant would put his hand on her head. His hands were so large they completely enveloped her head and helped keep her warm. He later said that filming this movie was his favorite experience because no one on the set looked at him strangely for his size which is something that happened to him a lot. The movie meant so much to him he made all his wrestling friends watch it with him

"something about this movie that can’t be repeated" I agree. Aside from, well, everything about it, I would point to one thing specifically, in three words: Andre. the. Giant. There has never been, and will never be, another Andre. The guy simply WAS Fezzig. There are other big dudes out there, but none with the same imposing stature as Andre. 7'4" tall, over 500 pounds. That FOREHEAD. That deep VOICE, with that thick French accent. That HAIR and those SIDEBURNS. Those HANDS!! That absolute BULK of a man. Who also happened to be the sweetest, kindest, gentlest, most teddy bear-est human imaginable. Acromegaly is no joke; it left Andre in pain, and lead him to an early grave. But it also made him who he was. As much as the entire cast were *perfectly* suited to their respective roles and played them to perfection (and the director, music, sets, fight choreography, etc), I could almost see any role being re-cast, except for Andre as Fezzig. It simply cannot be done without him. R.I.P. Andre.

According to Cary Elwes' book "As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride", Billy Crystal (Miracle Max) had written lines which he just ignored from the start. Instead he ad-libbed and was encouraged to do so. The director Rob Reiner eventually 'kicked' himself off the set to direct from monitors elsewhere, because he couldn't keep from laughing out loud. In many of the shots the "mostly dead" Wesley was played by a dummy because Cary Elwes had the same problem. Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya) managed to keep a straight face, but complained of a bruised rib after, from clenching up to hold in the laughter.

"Also, how did she meet a prince? What's happening?" One of many mysteries that are answered if you read the book. Basically, in order to be a prince, Humperdinck needed to marry someone who was already a princess. So they purchased a nearby hamlet and searched the nearby towns for a beautiful maiden to be installed as princess of the hamlet. Since she was broken hearted and decided she would never love again, she agreed to the marriage as a business transaction, her family was made (relatively) wealthy and powerful. That's actually the origin of the name, the law required that the prince must take a Princess Bride.

@cemarz3 жыл бұрын
It was absolutely not a satire of medieval fantasy romance movies. I could see someone who has only seen the movie thinking that but the books is quite larger in scope. Shifting between hard literature to fairy tale to history. If anything it's a satire of books that are boring, don't engage the reader. Books that prattle on. You could say it's a satire of bloated literature. But it plainly tells you in the book that it was made as an homage to the adventures of Goldman's past. The idea for the core of the book, as well as voice, came to him when his kids asked him to come up with a bedtime story. The frame device of the book (the faux hard literature part) came as a solution to mixing a traditional tale with modern writing techniques. But really it's a story about stories. How they get passed down over time. One generation to the next.

Also.. .the older I get, and the more I rewatch this (one of my two favorite films), the more that ending with Peter Faulk giving Fred Savage the "As you wish." is just... perfect. Gives me the feels more every time. Absolutely perfect ending to the film. Comedy, action, love, adventure, heart, this movie has something for everyone.

I remember watching this movie when it came out. I was around 16 or so at the time and had just lost my Grandmother. That loss was the first time I'd lost a close friend or relative and it hit me pretty hard. When Grandpa looks at his grandson and says "As you wish..." I bawled like a 3 year-old. To this day over and above any other film this one is my favorite (and this is coming from a Star Wars fanatic who saw the original release dozens of times in the theater back in 1977 by begging anyone and everyone I knew who was going to see it to take me with them). Thank you for your reaction!

I think you may have been talking through some of the best lines. Interesting fact: Mandy Patinkin’s father just died of cancer, and in the scene with Count Ruben, he channeled his rage and loss as though he were killing the cancer that killed his father.

What's interesting about this is when Montoya said "Give me back my father you son of a bitch" his father had recently just died of cancer. He said in interviews that he imagined like he was saying this to cancer itself and that's why his line is so heartfelt. His father has recently died and the emotion was still very raw.

@Armaldo468Ай бұрын
Oh yeah. Rats and other rodents are incredible creatures in general, and many rodent species are extremely skilled fighters; I would NOT want to try to duke it out with a rat that massive. (Or a squirrel, since I mentioned other rodents. That would probably be like getting pummeled by a mutant kangaroo on speed. Always amazes me when one of our “feral” cats gets the bright idea to try to box with a squirrel up on a tree branch. Like, c’mon-you’re going to get wrecked every time. They have the home field advantage up there, and that’s all the boost they need to whoop something that would usually prey on them.) The jaws and incisors (the big front teeth) on such a huge rat would effectively turn into a small guillotine, capable of lopping off limps with almost cartoonish ease. I find all manner of rodents adorable and precious, but that doesn’t mean they’re meek. Normal rodents are only weaker than us because of the drastic size disparity. Something that close to our size? Overpowered as hell. I’m kinda tempted to chalk the human victory up to plot armor, but the sword does even things out a little. Still not something I’d want to screw with, though, and I have a friggin’ razor-sharp scimitar.

I read the book first and it was really good. I was a bit skeptical about the movie, since adaptations are usually poor, but it was one of the best ever. It turns out that the author of the Princess Bride, William Goldman, was an Oscar winning script writer (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) and for The Princess Bride, he was hired to write the script so he was able to adapt it for film exactly the way he wanted.

10:00 he was 7'4 and weighed 520 pounds according to google. Supposedly he was able to drink 119 beers in one sitting. or another time a dozen bottles of wine. I saw something that said one time he drank 150 beers in a night, but it seems like it's probably exaggerated. I did hear in interviews with people that knew him who insisted that he could drink 50+ beers in a night no problem. There is one story about how he got too drunk and passed out on the floor of a hotel lobby. They just had to cover him with a blanket because he was too big to actually move. Don't let the alcohol consumption fool you, he was a super nice guy. He may have been a Giant but he was a Gentle Giant.

My favorite movie. There’s a small inside joke to the movie: in the book, Goldman goes to quite elaborate lengths to establish a backstory of his dad reading him this “history”. Later, when he read it as an adult, he realizes it sucks and that his dad was editing out all the boring bits on the fly and giving him only “the good parts.” So Goldman wrote the book with the good bits, but he also included a ton of the boring parts as filler. So in the movie, the grandpa reads the book but removes even the sections Goldman left in. Each telling of the story is whittled down a little more to deliver only “the good parts.”

Such a well balanced film, Sweet, but undercut by snark and witty dialog, to make sure the film dosen't get too camp or sickley sweet. When I was young, I always thought that the Grandfarther reading the story was the latest Dread Pirate Roberts, and he's reading the tale to his Grandson as he want's him to take over in years to come. So many plot points in this film coud be their own film, and without the tight script or great cast, some of the charecters could come off as one note. I always have a hearty laugh at Wallace Shaw's death, he's SO convinced that he's right, up to the moment he hunchs over dead mid-hysterical-laughter. Love It!
