Corrected entry: In the scene where Wesley and Buttercup roll down the hill, when they get to the bottom, they are far apart on the wide shot and close together on the close-up shot.

The Princess Bride (1987)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Fezzik is putting Inigo's head in a bucket of water, every time he dumps Inigo's head in the water, you hear his deep breath. Not when his head is pulled out of the water.
Correction: It's not a breath, it is Inigo trying to shout a protest while his head is under water. It sounds just the way it is supposed to.

The Princess Bride (1987)
Corrected entry: When Buttercup finds Westley in the honeymoon suite and jumps on him on the bed, her stockings and shoes are black. When she jumps from the window into Fezzik's arms, her stockings and shoes are white. I doubt she changed in front of Westley, Inigo, and Prince Humperdinck.
Correction: I just watched this in slow motion, and she is wearing white stockings and shoes the whole time. When she jumps on the bed, you mostly see the black (dirty) underside of the shoes, so this might be mistaken for the color of her shoes, but they are indeed white on top.

Correction: The close-up shot follows after a shot of Humperdinck at the top of the hill, tracking them. As both Wesley and Buttercup were conscious and uninjured, they had enough time to start moving closer to one another, which is precisely what we see them doing in the second shot.
