The 80s - The Princess Bride Thread (1987) #10: "Humperdinck! Humperdinck! Humperdinck!"

A kindly grandfather sits down with his ill grandson and reads him a story. The story is one that has been passed down from father to son for generations. As the grandfather reads the story, the action comes alive. The story is a classic tale of love and adventure as the beautiful Buttercup, engaged to the odious Prince Humperdinck, is kidnapped and held against her will in order to start a war, It is up to Westley (her childhood beau, now returned as the Dread Pirate Roberts) to save her. On the way he meets a thief and his hired helpers, an accomplished swordsman and a huge, super strong giant, both of whom become Westley's companions in his quest.

Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.
==

You'll put down your rock, I'll put down my sword, and, try and kill each other like civilized people?
==
I just want you to feel that you're doing well. I hate for people to die embarrassed.
==
Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.
==
First things first, to the death.
==
You know, I've been in the revenge business so long, I don't know what to do with myself

Quote:

Six weeks into filming, @CaryElwes took up Andre the Giant's offer of taking his ATV for a spin. When Cary's foot slipped off the clutch, it became wedged between the gas pedal and a rock beneath the vehicle and the unthinkable happened: He broke the big toe on his left foot. Cary wound up spending much of the film limping, although camera tricks make it all but impossible to spot in the final cut. He talks about this adventure along with many other memorable moments working on the film in his book, AS YOU WISH. You can find a copy of Cary’s book by clicking the link in our bio �� #AsYouWish
