Other mistake: When a disguised Westley see Vezzini holding a blindfolded Buttercup hostage, Vezzini is sitting down with a blanket, some food, two goblets and a bottle of wine. There's no way that Vezzini should have these as he wasn't carrying anything on him when he got out of the boat and Fezzik took everyone up the Cliffs of Insanity.
Continuity mistake: After Montoya has hauled Wesley to the top of the cliff, he drops the rope on the ground, where it lands forming a couple of coils. You can see this as Wesley sits down and Montoya leans up against the wall. However, when they start their duel, the rope is hanging straight off the cliff, without any coils in it.
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: What does Miracle Max mumble before agreeing to help Inigo and Fezzik with mostly-dead Westley? It's after Inigo says "humiliations galore," as Max is turning away to get his hat.
Answer: He is just singing/babbling happily. According to the captions, he sings, "Hi diddle lick do day dee shie!" He then says, "That is a noble cause".
