Grandpa is very adamant to his grandson about how reading The Princess Bride is a big tradition in his family. Handed down from his father to him, and so forth until now - when the grandson is homesick and Grandpa reads him the story. The tradition of handing down the book is very reminiscent of the story of the Dread Pirate Roberts.One fan theory which is fun to examine is that Grandpa happened to the most and had the movie had one more scene, it would when Grandpa comes back the next day with Roberts’ mask for his grandson. 19 Mandy Patinkin Broke A Rib. “ You were supposed to be this colossus, you were this great legendary thing!” Vizzini barks at the giant Fezzik during the film.
There was a very good reason that Andre The Giant was perfectly suited for the role of Fezzik, the kind and gentle giant - the character was written with him in mind.But by the time production finally started, Andre was in pain from the effects of acromegaly, the gigantism disease that would help claim Andre’s life in 1993. The once mighty world famous and beloved wrestler couldn’t even lift Robin Wright.
So that line was pretty much telling fans what they may have missed. When the backstories of both Inigo and the Man In Black involve being a master swordsman, then the actors behind the roles better be, by at least Hollywood standards, master swordsman.
Both Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin, and yes, they trained to fight with both hands as well!Even the book’s author, William Goldman knew this part needed intense realism. While writing it, he researched old Fencing techniques such as Bonetti’s Defense, Capa Ferro, Thibault, and Agrippa, so that the dialogue between the two duelists was as genuine as the duel he had written for them. 15 the heavy lifting. In case you didn’t know, The Princess Bride’s Director, Rob Reiner also made the rock mockumentary, This Is Spinal Tap. The film is loved by rock stars from all over the world.

Andre The Giant and his giant French accent were fairly hard to understand, unless he was speaking slowly in his wrestling interviews. But Fezzik needed to speak at a fairly normal pace, not to mention be witty and charming.To help him get ready for the role, for the big man to listen to on his own and practice before shooting began.

No, they were real people in at suits.The men in the suits figured out how they wanted to play the, so they made their own movements to figure out how the rats would move, giving them their own personality.
They ran around and made noises and did everything themselves! As Count Rugen, Christopher Guest also trained extensively for his sword fighting duel with Mandy Patinkin’s Inigo Montoya.

Once Humperdink and Buttercup leave, Westley and Rugen know full well that Humperdink wasn’t genuine and Rugen smashes Westley with a rock after the pirate notes the six fingers on Rugen’s hand.The take that was chosen for the film is the one where Christopher Guest, as Cary Elwes request hit him for real and inadvertently.
