    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When asked what his favorite thing about making this film was, André René Roussimoff replied, without skipping a beat, "Nobody looks at me." He felt treated as an equal, without people staring at him because of his grand size.
    • Goofs
      Vizzini mentions Australia's convict colonies during the movie. This may seem anachronistic since the movie has a medieval setting, but this story is fantasy not history. In fact, its being told as a fairy tale from a grandfather to his grandson. In the novel, this was just one of many (intentionally contradictory) clues about when the story takes place.
    • Quotes

      Buttercup: We'll never survive.

      Westley: Nonsense. You're only saying that because no one ever has.

    • Crazy credits
      Buttercup is referred to on-screen by name, but is only credited as "The Princess Bride."
    • Alternate versions
      Current AMC broadcasts in the US use the sped-up 25 fps PAL video from a 24 fps film source.

    The Perfect Movie
    This is one of those rare films that gets better each time you watch it. With something for everyone, The Princess Bride combines romance, action, adventure and parody to create the perfect movie.

    Cary Elwes and Robin Wright are beautiful to watch and the story of their love is a wonderful backdrop to the adventure and intrigue played out in this story. Mandy Patinkin is wonderful as Inigo and gets to deliver some of the best lines in the film. Chris Sarandon is perfect in his role as the bad guy prince.

    The plot is rich, with adult innuendos the kids will miss all together and levels of wit to entertain the whole family. The dialogue is full of very funny catch phrases- many of which are still part of my repertoire more than a decade after I first saw the movie. If you like dry humor and fast wit, The Princess Bride will make your day.

    I have owned this video since 1988 and still watch it regularly - it has become my 'sick day' movie because it is such a joy.
