Audio problem: After Wesley rescues Princess Buttercup from Vizzini, he takes her up on a windy mountain and they talk. In one angle, Wesley is talking and wind noise can be heard during his vocals. It never happens again during the shot although all shots in this sequence are windy.
The Princess Bride (1987)
1 audio problem
Directed by: Rob Reiner
Starring: Cary Elwes, Billy Crystal, Peter Falk, Carol Kane, Christopher Guest, Chris Sarandon, Wallace Shawn, Fred Savage, Mel Smith, Mandy Patinkin, Peter Cook, Robin Wright Penn, André the Giant
Visible crew/equipment: After Wesley sets the ROUS on fire, as the ROUS is writhing on the ground, you can see a crew member (fire safety?) walk into view beneath one of the roots of the trees on the right-hand side. (00:47:35)
Vizzini: Inconceivable!
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Trivia: Mark Knopfler, who composed the music to the Princess Bride, only agreed to do so if Rob Reiner could include the baseball cap he wore in the film Spinal Tap. The director placed the cap in the boy's bedroom, beside the bed.
Question: When Buttercup confronts a masked Westley, she says that she loved more deeply than a killer like him ever dreamed. Westley's response is to raise a hand as if to hit her, but he stops and says that was a warning and that where he comes from, there are penalties when a woman lies. In what way was Buttercup lying?
Answer: Westley comes back from the sea, only to find that his one true love is engaged to another man. He feels her love for him wasn't true if she could even think of getting married again, at least so soon.
