This is one of my Desert Island movies. I just love it. And here are some fun facts about it.
When the six-fingered man hits Westley on the head with the butt of his sword after he and Prince Humperdinck take Buttercup back, Cary Elwes told Chris Guest to go ahead and hit him for real, so the scene would look realistic. Guest obliged, and production was held up because Elwes spent the rest of the day in the hospital.
Ha! I mean, ouch!
Btw, the title on the cover of the new Princess Bride DVD is an ambigram, i.e., it’s readable upside-down or rightside-up.
