As they sail away toward the Cliffs of Insanity, they notice the pursuit of a man in black.and the adventure begins. A few years later, Buttercup, engaged to the oily Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon), is kidnapped by an oddball trio of rogues-brains, Vizzini (Wallace Shawn) brawn, Fezzik (André the Giant) and sword, Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin in a standout performance). While trying to seek his fortune, however, Westley disappears at sea, an apparent victim of the Dread Pirate Roberts, who takes no prisoners. However, his mood quickly changes as he, along with the viewer, is transported to a place out of time-to Florin, a kingdom in the ultimate imaginary land, complete with dashing heroes, cowardly princes, rhyming giants, shrieking eels, rodents of unusual size, fancy swordfights, and yes.even some kissing.The lovely Buttercup (Robin Wright) learns that "As you wish" really means "I love you" when she falls for her charming farmhand, Westley (Cary Elwes). When a sick boy (Fred Savage) receives a visit from his doting grandfather (Peter Falk) who intends to read to him from his favorite book, he's not exactly pleased to be extracted from his world of video games. But, then again.perhaps I have the strength after all.Director Rob Reiner breathes vividly colored cinematic life into William Goldman's THE PRINCESS BRIDE, effectively evoking the wondrous, wide-eyed spirit of the witty 1973 novel. It's conceivable, you miserable, vomitous mass, that I'm only lying here because I lack the strength to stand.
Westley: It's possible, Pig I might be bluffing. Prince Humperdinck: I think you're bluffing. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, "Dear God! What is that thing?" will echo in your perfect ears. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish.
Westley: Wrong! Your ears you keep, and I'll tell you why. Prince Humperdinck: And then my ears, I understand. The next thing you will lose will be your left eye followed by your right. A mistake I don't mean to duplicate tonight. Prince Humperdinck: And then my tongue, I suppose. To the pain means the first thing you will lose will be your feet below the ankles. Prince Humperdinck: That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me. Westley: I'll explain, and I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand, you warthog-faced buffoon. Prince Humperdinck: I don't think I'm quite familiar with that phrase. Prince Humperdinck: First things first, to the death.
