- 1987’s The Princess Bride is often on top of the list of many movie buff's favorite all-time movies. It has everything you want from a great story. It has great cheesy romance, laugh-out-loud comedic moments, hard-to-watch torture scenes, and great memorable characters.
The movie was adapted from William Goldman’s 1973 novel of the same name, and even though it was not a commercial success at the time, it has since become a beloved cult classic.
But if you ever felt nostalgic and wanted to relive Westley and Buttercup's love again, here are things you will notice about the Princess Bride as an adult.

Did you mss these moments? Inconceivable!
When the brute squad search and clear the village they come across an inebriated Inigo. The solldier challanges Inigo with the phrase "Ho there" to which Inigo replies , "Ho there yourself" or Joder , spanish for F-you or go F-yourself. Since you have a list an all.
the only thing "inconceivable" about all this is the "i" YOU are missing in "miss" 😂
It's inconceivable for this cult classic movie to be remake, reboot or have sequel's & prequel's 💯
Ummm, they do start to turn the boat. Vizinni clearly says 'Turn Left, no your other left'.
@Playfulpanthress You're right about Buttercup and the water, but Íñigo's name is Spanish (for "Fiery") and the "tilda" above the "n" makes it an "enya" and gives it a "ny" pronunciation. He's saying it just the way Mandy Patinkin says it in the film, just as "canyon" is spelled "cañon" in Spanish. I always say other movie companies (writers, producers, directors _et al)_ should study this film to see how action comedies should be made. In short, I love it. Stay safe.
I expected this to be about adult themed jokes rather than minor plot holes.
Same, disappointing
Likewise.
Exactly
Bingo
Same, what a crock of shit!
nono the reason the boat "jumped" to her is because the grandfather paused reading, then accidentally reread parts, then skipped ahead slightly. the entire thing is based inside the narrative of a book, after all.
Yeah. It's like when a narrator says, "Let me back up." and the video reverses.
Exactly!
AND!! Vazzini yells "STEER LEFT!! LEFT!!!" When she jumps in. So yeah, the boat does steer off course!
Wow!!! You created a nitpick list on one of the greatest movies ever created. (slow claps)
I feel like the fact that this video exists is more of an indictment on the producers of content at Looper, than against The Princess Bride.
Me: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ! ! !!!!!!!!!
Thank you I love the book lord though! The movie is so great though!
Everyone: the book is always better than the movie
Well what about when the movie is arguably the best movie of all time
Idk why this whole video sounded like Karen complaining to Cinema managers why the movie isn't realistic enough for a work of fiction.
😂
😂🔨👍🏼
Or some scientist demanding that the Chronicles of Narnia be banned for portraying talking beavers as carnivores, serving cooked fish to the kids, because REAL beavers, although obviously very talkative and living in well furnished lodges, DO NOT eat fish, cooked or not......
The most unnecessary video about an amazing movie.
This is more like, when you become adult, you start nitpicking.
Someone needs to do it! Those pesky kids only want to pay attention to the story.
..the dumbest most irrelevant non-problems.
Since they didn't show it otherwise, I'm going to assume that Inigo survived.
Hey, Arya Stark survived similar wounds, jumped into filthy water, and still survived long enough to become a Deus Ex Machina, so why not?
I had always assumed the same, that not only had Indigo survived, but became the next Dread Pirate Roberts, as Wesley suggested. However, the book ending, is fairly close to the same, except that it does have 2 ending. The author placed, "But here's what really happened..." and during that slightly more comical version, Indigo does survive, "until his wounds open up again..." This is not a direct quote and it has been several years since I have read the book, but even then, he doesn't die in that version, either. The Princess Bride is my all time favorite movie and this list is not really a list at all...it seemed too much for them...
@@katrinawendel2647 Sort of like the movie "Clue", there are multiple endings which all have the same probability of being true.
@@Hi-me2jn Inigo*
I just assumed they would take him to Miracle Max? If he can bring Wesley back he can save Inigo
as an adult what I noticed most was that this was a story that was being read from a children's book. it wasn't supposed to mirror real life.
Reading the book fills in Fezzik's backstory (incredibly well, and everyone else's backstories), how Inigo fares at the end, and more. It makes the movie even better!
Just finished the 30th anniversary edition!
Agreed! The book is absurdly even better.
@@kacychandler6094 that's funny. I thought the movie was much better, that much of the book was unnecessary. But to each their own, & nearly everyone has to like at least one or the other, right? It's very, very rare that I prefer a movie to the book that spawned it.
Vizzini did carry a bag up the cliffs which he clearly drops from his left shoulder at the 16-minute mark to cut the rope. Vizzini has the bag over his left shoulder once again when he says. " He didn't fall? Inconceivable." The same bag is seen resting at his feet in your very video from 5:41 - 5:57. "You fell victim to one of the classic blunders..."
The whole "Fezzik having powers" thing is a total stretch
Viziny tells them to 'turn left, no the other left's, so it's indeed a stretch.
Pun intended?
@@sarahwade6720 Nope
You can criticize this masterpiece as much as you want. just do: AS YOU WISH!!!!!!❤
Haha! Nice
If you want to know more about the characters, read the book. It's one of my favorite books ever and probably my most reread.
If you remember, Queen Penelope waited for 20 years for Odysseus to come home and she hadn't remarried until she was forced into it by her suitors.
So, Westley expecting/hoping for Buttercup to keep waiting for him isn't THAT big of an issue. If you have a strong enough love connection, your partner could wait for you as long as it took
On top of that she also demanded her suitors perform an exceptional, if not impossible, feat of skill with the axe handles so even when backed into a corner she was still like "nah, bro."
What I keep coming back to is the fact that it is heavily implied that Buttercup had no choice. It says that "the law of the land gave Prince Humperdinck the ability to choose his bride". It never ever says that she had to agree to it. In fact, I always saw it as he chose her and that was that. She had no choice
@@karawardlaw4090 Except that (as I recall) in the book she did, and agreed simply because she no longer cared what happened to her.
Hoping, yes; expecting, no. Much as I love this movie and the book, Westley was absolutely venomous toward Buttercup for not living up to his expectations. Viewed realistically (and not as the genius satire that it is), his attitude doesn't bode well for their future together.
Are you all
Forgetting ..the dred pirate Robert's never leaves survivers and it was none that the vessel he was on was attacked by said pirate. She died that day.
Newsflash:
This film is _not_ based on a true story.
Fiction, heard of it?
Exactly. Not just that it’s fiction but that the ENTIRE motherf****** motif is of a grandfather lovingly reading a story, with breaks, asides, occasional clarifications, et al. to his grandson. I mourn for Looper that they apparently have neither read nor been read to enough to understand how this kind of storytelling works.
Man, did you guys just try to s*** all over this film!!
Ye he did :c
The Looper series "Things only adults notice..." should be more properly titled: "Things even kids noticed but Looper only just now noticed..."
I want 10 minutes of my life back, please. With interest. Thank you in advance.
I can't believe they Karen'd this
I love this film and one that I still watch as an adult
You do know this is the boy's imagination listening to his Grandpa reading the book right?
It's a comedy fantasy, use your imagination and relax. Movies are not supposed to be everything, fill in the blanks with your vast imagination.
This video just shows that some people have too much time in their hands.
Count Rugen, who had 11 of what normally numbers 10, was played by Christopher Guest. A few years earlier he had played a character who famously showed off that he had 11 of what normally numbers 10.
Oooooh, good point!! 👏🏻
So, two points of connection to Spinal Tap. One visible before anything even gets started, and one in the plot of the movie. Well done, Misters Reiner & Guest.
3:32 I thought the relationship between Inigo and Wesley was just excellent. They were pals instantly when they met. However, their friendship was simply very bad for their business. So, if they had to kill each other, they should do it in a chivalrous duel. Nothing tops that. 😉⚔

I always just assume the "land war in Asia" line goes over the heads of most kids watching it, especially those born well after this movie's initial release.
6:25 Buttercup didn't agree to an arranged marriage, she had no choice, it was the law of the land
One of my favorite movies of all time. I can recite the entire script by heart. 👏🏻
Prove it
Inigo had that leather vest, probably a layer or two of linen. Rugen didn’t seem to get a very strong throw with that dagger. I think it cut him, but it wasn’t too deep. Mostly knocked the wind out of him. Plus, we know Miracle Max is within a few hour’s ride of the castle.
Indigo isn’t dying here, I don’t think.
Plus, in a pinch, they can just head to the fire swamp and crudely cauterize the wound with a sword
Besides, Inigo CAN'T die. Ditto Mandy Patinkin.
The book is wrapped as a birthday gift. He even mentions birthday boy.
As for the albino, you missed where they mentioned leaving the wheelbarrow over the albino. So possibly indicating that he did die.
I'm going to go ahead and say that there are so many dislikes already because the title is "Only Adults Notice" so it makes you think that you're going to show us some dirty scenes that we might just not have realized when we were kids. But that isn't the video, you are just pointing out inconsistencies and little plot holes. So yeah dislikes are because of the misleading title.
not one of them, js.
They went to Miracle Max after they left the castle
Your inconceivable narrating this movie 😂😂😂😂
Umm, did you not notice the backpack/bag next to Vizzini during the "Battle of Wits"?!?
That was where he got the wine, cheese, giblets and tablecloth. 😉
Ummm.... goblets. Giblets come from chickens, not backpacks 😅
One thing that never made sense is when Prince Humperdinck puts the machine up to 50 and Westley screams so loud that he can be heard for miles, Count Rugen and Albino don't cover their ears.
Probably used to ear-splitting screams of torture.
This is my childhood movie that I was raised on every since I was a few months old
I definitely noticed the fact that she was too far away for Fezik to have grabbed from the boat when I was a kid 🤣
I think we noticed but since this is one of the most memorable and wonderful movies we've ever seen, who cares!!
My god, man, did you have a rough childhood? Did you even see this movie as a child? You have completely taken the enjoyment out of this movie. You've sucked the life out of it just as Westley's life was sucked out of him. Why? It is a fairytale movie. It's supposed to be a mess. It's a Fairytale!
In the book Vizzini uses a magical spell to raise the rope from the boat landing to the top. Inconceivable.
Don't watch this video. Even when I was a teenager watching this I recognized that you don't question movie fantasy, you enjoy the ride. This isn't anything a child wouldn't notice, I noted all of that just fine, I just didn't, and don't, care to concern myself with minor plot holes while watching a fantasy movie filled with mystical magic and meanings. Not to mention it being the greatest love story ever told... hopefully tomorrow, I'll be able to watch it again. As I wish.
nitpick all you want, this is still my all time favourite movie
As a person who uses ropes for a living being a tree removal specialist. You can feel any tug on ropes. It's not just flexible. But does carry motion so if something is happening at the end of a hundred foot rope you can feel it at other end especially when under a load most of my ropes are loaded between 2 to 4 ton for lead or climbing but bull ropes or load ropes are almost 30,000 lbs. You feel everything that happens on the rope.
Inigo probably didn't die. Unless you believe ALL abdominal wounds are exactly alike. Inigo was only hit by half the dagger blade, probably didn't get past his abdominal wall, whereas the Count was ran through with at least half of Inigos' sword. The arm wounds weren't arterial so they too were survivable.
They probably took him back to Miracle Max, who in return for humiliating Humperdink, healed Inigo.
You forgot to mention there's no such thing as light sabers !
The author of this channel must be fun at parties. Also, what you call plot holes are actually Rob Reiner's brand of slapstick comedy blended with subtle humor.
Inigo did not die! How dare you
'You keep using this word...
... i do not think it means what you think it means"
The 11 fingered man was apparently a nod to Reiner's earlier film, Spinal Tap, which had an amp that went to "11".
Don't forget the recreation of Rob Reiner's navy cap on the shelf over the grandson's bed! Christopher Guest demanded that there was at least 1 nod to the fact that he and Rob Reiner had worked on Spinal Tap if he was to agree to do the movie as Count Rugen. The hat is visible briefly around timestamp 0:32-0:34 as his mother checks his temp and kisses his forehead.
No one ever thought these things. They just enjoyed a wonderful movie
In the first one that you said it was a Christmas Time movie you failed to reveal that in the end the grandfather told his grandson shalom. That would most likely make family Jewish. Though there are variants and the grandsons parent could be of a different faith but Grandpa gave him a book wrapped in Christmas paper. Odd
Why are you over analyzing this magical fiary tale? 🤔🤨 Just accept the fact this was a timeless fairy tale with all the elements of a classic. Adventues. Magic. Humor. Romance. Heroes. Villains. Monsters. What more could you expect from this rare gem? Most of all - Love will prevail. ❤
Actually vinncini tells fezek to turn left after the princess jumps
I didnt enjoy any of this.
It didn't diminish my enjoyment of the film, but rather my enjoyment of this channel hahaha
Inigo Montoya the best of the whole movie enough said he would be a great pirate.I wish they had shown Pirate Roberts in the movie.
He's too honorable to be a pirate.
Boat - drifting from the water movement. Not difficult to imagine.
I'm sooo glad I never became an adult.
3:22 'We may never know?' That's your problem not ours !!!
5:17 Considering Humperdinck hired Vizzini to perform a kill on Buttercup, thr prince probably set all that stuff up for Vizzini. That was my assumption when I saw the movie for the first time at age 6. 😉
Climbing the rope was done to set up tension for the sword fight. Also, presumably it could have served as a shortcut or a way to throw potential followers off their track by not taking the conventional route.
Depending on how deep the thrown knife wound was Inigo could have survived it. plus inigo skewered the count so it was hardly a superficial wound by comparison to his own.
Man...you are truly reaching here. Have you run out of material for other movies???
People forget this is also a comedy
As an adult, I did wonder what this video had in store. Turns out it was 'mostly' continuity or 'where did that come from?' and a little litterally-ism. There's nothing wrong with a bit of Fantasy to take you away from common old day life. And there's nothing worse than a kid asking you "Why?" "What?" "Where?" Adults accept this movie for what it is. A fantastical romp. Kids question.
And in answer to the questions of Inigo and Fezzik's past and future/future and past.. you can all read about that in the sequel, "Buttercup's Baby".
This isn't about catching things because of adulthood, this is just cold cynicism.
It’s a fairy tale. The good guys never die
Awesome movie. Perfect in all aspects
Explanation for the cliff scene - He's not stupid! He knows that as soon as they reach the top they're gonna cut the rope
Count Rugen's scar inflicted by Inigo was in the same spot in which is where the scar that Robin Loxley inflicted on the sheriff of Nottingham in "The Prince of Thieves".
Any discrepancy in this movie can be explained by the fact that we're not watching a portrayal of the story, but the grandson's imagination on what the grandfather is reading to him
The post about buttercup making the right decision is very true. If your boo is declared dead for 5 YEARS and you’re forced into a loveless marriage, I don’t blame you for getting married.
Wow, so many of these points are really wide of the mark, did the hack that wrote the script even bother to rewatch the film or just rely on their poorly remembered idea of what they think happened?
When Christopher Guest hits Cary Elwes on the head, he hit Cary so hard that Cary ended up in the hospital with a concussion. In previous takes, Guest, afraid that he would hurt Cary , was barely tapping him. Cary told him to go ahead and hit him.
I didn't notice any of these things as a kid or as an adult. Guess I'm not an asshole without a sense of humor working for Looper. ;)
If you had read the book, you'd know a lot more. Fezzik, Ignigo and Buttercup. I'd recommend you start with the abridged version as the original by S. Morgenstern is almost unreably long winded. If you read the book you get it.
The book that this movie is based on is crazy, maybe the director wanted to make a movie just as crazy
The director of the movie was a very big fan of the book since he was a child and wanted to honor on of his favorite books by making a good film adaption and sharing it with movie goers. The author of the book even wrote the screen play. These facts are very well documented.
@@katrinawendel2647 i love the movie, plot holes and all.
They used the rope to enter Gilder because they were sneaking into the country to start a war. If they had gone to a port someone probably would have noticed three men forcing a women they kidnapped off a boat and through the town. When Vizzini says "he'll have to sail around for hours until he finds a harbor" he isn't referring to a specific port that he knows about and is hard to find, he is speaking generally about a place to land without huge cliffs. Presumably this coast must be mostly cliffs and Vizzini knows that it would take hours to sail down the coast until he found a place to safely land; Vizzini likely scouted the coast out in preparation for the job. He probably recruited Fezzik specifically because he was strong enough to climb up the cliffs. Vizzini's plan all along was to go this way to a) sneak into Gilder without being noticed b) shake off any pursuit if there was any and c) take the quickest most direct route to Gilder.
One part is that the swamp of Despair Wesley scuba dives in the sand which is weird and funny.
I’m 13 and this guy thinks I’m an idiot. Of course I saw these
this just makes me love the movie more
You will never know how much I've loved your performances.... Yentil, Criminal Minds, but the most of all.... my childhood had 3 copies (taped from cable and 2 because we lent one to a licensed copy to a family friend, which sent back over a year later). I fell in love with you in The Princess Bride and Indigo Montoya, I love your acting. Thank you. I've lost both parents and that movie..... you have no idea. I'm the "movie buff completely. I remember everything I watch. I'm approached by family to link acts. Its not the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon for me. I love you and you Sir are a class act.
Wesley clearly switched from the rope to the rocks when the bad guys reached the top because he knew they would cut it.
Who decorates their room with Christmas decorations?
My kids. (c: Princess Bride's influence, maybe?
I’m confident that the folks that made this beautiful film were fully aware of the supposed “plot holes”. The primary motif of the film is of a story being read-moreover, passed down from grandfather to grandson. I wonder if y’all have ever read a story, read one to a child, or indeed, had a story read to you. I wonder if you ever operate within the realm of imagination instead of what must be a constantly frustrated, pedantic, nitpicky, arrogant, sad sort of gray, analytical “realism”. Jesus, maybe y’all need to give the vids a break and pick up a book.
Logic vs Imagination? Please, please, please …..Release your inner Child!
Of course Inigo survived. They just humiliated Prince Humpderdink. Miracle Max will whip up another chocolate-covered pill and Inigo will be back to swordfighting in no time.
WE LOVE THESE BITS!! And, so, if you didn't notice these then.... Keep moving on 😂
Who gaf about any of this. The movie was great!!!
This movie is my "bedtime story" when I can't sleep, so all you
skeptics can leave us hopefuls alone and go directly to the "pit
of despair" where you belong.
Is it just me or do you think all the “errors” were in the movie to make it funnier?
"Adult" is such a loaded term. Please change the title to "Adult with brain damage" or "Adult with learning disability ". Both of these would help qualify the title and give the viewership a better idea of what is about to unfold.
The use of the “Holocaust cloak” to sneak into the castle is something I only got after 4 decades of life experience.
The only mistake here is YOU trying to tenuously weave a faulty narrative from a very smart film.
I told you I already loved your vids @Looper
Inigo could have gone to Billy Crystal for healing.
One of the best family movies ever. Oh in case you missed it Star Wars isn’t real either. Get a life!
Isn't a huge message in this film about believing in the impossible?
Fizzik took Inigo back to Miracle Max, of course, and he was healed, what with being only 'mostly dead'.
Inigo survives; they went back to Miracle Max's house for a cure.
One extra item for the list, how was Vincini planning on taking out Westly if he defeated the giant? Was he simply just going to kill Buttercup in front of him? Of course, it ended well for the good guys and the poison worked in favor of the plot, but what was Vincinis's plan if that did not happen? He could not kill Westley and was only amused and intrigued when he spoke and seemed of similar intelligence in his eyes which brought him to his death.
I did notice most of these things when I was a kid, like Inigo handing the enemy the sword and shouting "what are you doing!?" I was either very observant or was something else, but this is by far no matter what my favorite film. I also recently read William Goldman's Novel of the story and it is so much more in-depth allowing us to see a lot, no all granted, but a lot of the prequels to the characters; what they went through, Hero's Journies, and emotional explanation for why they act the way they do sometimes. It is a wonderful story and I highly recommend reading it sometime!
