Hey everyone so my hellraiser video got blocked last night. Should be back up now if you haven’t seen it. Also as always hope you enjoyed the reaction!
I watched it last night before it was blocked I guess. It was great!!
“It is a love story...”. Yea, doll! It’s an EVERYTHING story. Love, revenge, horror, action, thriller, drama, comedy, suspense, fantasy ... it has everything.
Completely agree it was awesome!
Are you kidding? Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Revenge. Giants. Monsters. Chases. Escapes. True love. Miracles.
That's why I'll always believe it to be one of the greatest movies of all time
I've watched P Bride countless times since 1987, Rob Reiner is a genius. After watching several of these "Reaction" watches of P Bride, I learned why most people do not list this movie *first* as a "comedy".
Yes, it is Many, Many things, but for those who pay attention with great detail to Every word spoken and all the nuances, the Rare comedic genius comes to light. MOST people simply do not catch the subtle humor. For P Bride fans, make sure you pay attention to every line and angle and appreciate the brilliance of this amazing Comedy.
Most folks even miss some Obvious bits of humor; like when the smug (but skilled tracker) Humperdinck sniffs the *odorless* Iocane and exclaims, "Iocane! I'd bet my life on it!" 🤣❤🙏🏽
Nick is so pure he didn't realize it was Westley the whole time I love it
My college roommate was a big fan of the book, so when the film was released, we took three buses to go across Milwaukee to get to the one theater that had it in preview the night before the official opening. The four of us were one of only two groups in the entire theater, but we had a fantastic time nonetheless! When it came out on tape, I showed it to my family, but no one else really loved it, sadly. I can quote the entire thing.
That’s incredible and really I’m surprised feels like the perfect film to watch with your family.
I've always wanted to read the book. I wonder how close it is to the movie.
I met a teen who could quote The entire movie too! He was so happy that there was other people who actually liked it, almost everyone he met either never heard of it, or just didn’t care. I don’t agree with them, I absolutely adore this movie🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@3DJapan it’s pretty close, of course there’s cut scenes and all that. Not to mention some more graphic details that at the time, might’ve been hard to create.
It is one of the most quotable movies of all time.
I have a theory that Indigo Montoya is an ancestor to Captain Jack Sparrow. Wesley and Buttercup has child are ancestors to Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean.
🤔 I like it.
I'm having trouble finding the words to explain how much I like this.
The one who plays Westley, was also in a Mel Brooks comedy called Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Oh have not seen that will have to add that it to the list!
He's also Doctor Lawrence Gordon in the Saw films. The victim that sawed off his own foot to get out of his trap.
He is also in this civil war movie called Glory with Mathew Broderick and it’s one of my favorite war movies ever, rlly good
Cary Elwes. He’s also in stranger things
Cary Elwes also (in recent years) wrote a book about his experiences fighting to get the part, and filming The Princess Bride, and it's really funny and sweet, especially when he talks about Andre the Giant and how it was working with him. It's a fun read.
"Let me 'splain. (pause) No. There is too much. Let me sum up." I cannot count how many times I've quoted that whenever I needed to explain something to someone. (Lol)
The entire movie is so quotable and funny. I love the humor, the sweetness, the drama, the structure of the story, all of it. I think it's so clever and fun, and it's something I watched with my parents and siblings when I saw it for the first time, so it's a great memory for me, all of us sucked up into the story and laughing so much and just really enjoying it.
And while I love every part of the story, I think Inigo Montoya finally getting to say those iconic words to the man who killed his father is so huge and such a great reward after he told that story to the man in black in the beginning of the movie. Just the way he says it, and then keeps saying it, building in intensity, it's so powerful, it brings me to tears. And like you said, for a moment there, it seems like he's not going to complete his quest after all these years, because of that stab wound. Like you, when I saw it for the first time, I was like, "Noooooo! No, it can't go down like that." So I think it's one of the best parts, when he finally gets to say, "I want my father back, you son of a bitch." YES. :)
5:03 Grandpa: "The eel doesn't get her. I'm explaining 'cause you look nervous."
Grandson loosening his tight-ass grip on his bedsheets: ".... i wasn't nervous :/"
"As you wish" is code between me and my feller.
You made me genuinely LOL when you said « Let’s hop into A Princess Diary...no that’s not the name...let’s hop into The Princess...fuck me... The Princess Bride! »
😂😂
"INCONCEIVABLE!"
😂😂
Thank you!!!🤣🤣🤣
"You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
I met Wallace Shawn at comic con
This is one of my favorite movies form childhood! During all the press for the 25th anniversary the actor that plays Inigo opened up about what inspired him during filming. A few years before filming he lost his father to cancer, so while making the movie he started viewing the six fingered man as cancer. He said that when he got to kill the man, for a moment, it felt like he had his father back.
My favorite scene in this film, is when Inigo is fighting the six fingered man and continues to repeat his catch phrases over and over again. What's extra amazing about this is that the emotion you see in the actor, is real. Shortly before, his father died from a disease, I believe it was cancer, and during the scene he was imagining that he was confronting the physical embodiment of the cancer that killed him and worked through the loss of his father in the moments that we see on screen.
It really fits perfectly, because the original author of the book purposely made the six finger man that way to also represent cancer since that is how his dad also died. He says so in his author's note in one of the re-released of the original book.
Mandy Patinkin's father actually did pass away from cancer recently when they were filming this, so the emotions you're seeing whenever he mentions him, yes including the anger behind the famous line, are all real.
For a cheesy movie, (with the PERFECT level of cheesiness, without going over) and a movie full of great, funny, quotable lines . . . .
There is something about the perfect delivery that places; "I want my Father back you son of a bitch!", right up there with greatest lines from the most dramatic, or intense action, flick's lines.
Perfect movie. (I pray it NEVER gets rebooted nor remade!)
Wesley's fights with Inigo and Fezzick, perfectly, showed that there can be a difference between seeing someone as your opponent and seeing someone as your enemy.
Love this film. The cast was (is!) perfection. I see someone already pointed out that Billy Crystal was Miracle Max, but basically everyone in the movie is someone great. Fred Savage was already big from _The Wonder Years_ when he was cast as the boy in this, and they got _Columbo_ as the Grandpa. There's Cary Elwes (from _Robin Hood: Men in Tights_ and _Saw_ and such), there's Mandy Patinkin (from _Homeland_ and _Criminal Minds_ and Broadway fame) and André the Giant (who's just ... André the Giant). Robin Wright was so young here, it's almost hard to believe she was also Claire in _House of Cards_ and General Antiope in _Wonder Woman_ and Jenny in _Forrest Gump._ And everyone from Vizzini to Humperdinck to the Impressive Clergyman was a perfect choice.
Glad you enjoyed this.
Miracle Max's wife is great too. She was on Taxi. That was a great show in the mid 70s.
Even the albino was a pretty famous comedian - Mel Smith from Smith & Jones and Not the Nine O'clock News.
I was a big prowrestling fan growing up, so when I found out that Andre The Giant had starred in a movie I had to watch it. To this day The Princess Bride is the only romantic comedy that not only I enjoy watching, but can stand to watch. Andre was the only reason I watched it as a kid, but as I got older it just got better and better as I started understanding the jokes more and more. Billy Crystal was so taken with Andre that he actually wrote the movie My Giant for Andre and himself to star in. Unfortunately, Andre passed only 6 years after this movie came out, so he and Billy didn't get the chance to work together again.
I didn't know that about Billy Crystal, and I'm not sure if it makes me happy or sad. Thanks for sharing it. Every time I hear something new about Andrea The Giant's involvement with Princess Bride, he becomes more likable.
Mandy Patinkin's father actually died of cancer right before he was hired for this role, and he said he harbored a lot of anger because of it. So when he says the line "I want my father back, you son of a bitch", he said he imagined the cancer as a person so he could actually confront the thing that killed his father. And you can tell there's real emotion in that line.
Everyone loves this movie! So glad you watched it!
Thanks! Was an awesome movie so happy I got to see it.
I've watched this so many times and it has yet to lose its charm
I really like the grandfathers final line…..”as you wish.” 😀
I think it's adorable that Nick says "if you didn't like it, leave a dislike". He's so damn genuine. Look at him when the Shrieking Eel first swims by Buttercup! It's so amazing!
To the 8 people who DID leave a dislike, y'all are nasty.
2 things I know that I love- Mandy Patinkin (indigo) and Cary elwes (Wesley) both have training with swords so their sword fight in the beginning was actually them. And when Mandy (indigo) has his battle with the six fingered man he had just lost his father to cancer so he was imagining that he was fighting cancer
I don't know why or how this video got recommended to me, but I'm not complaining! This is a great reaction and you have gained a subscriber! (Great movie!)
Wow, thank you! Glad you liked it!
First time I heard Peter Cook (the priest) say his lines, I screamed with laughter😅😅😅😅
Mairwej !!!
Peter Cook was wonderful.
Me and my cousin memorized all his lines when we were kids because it was just so funny. The overly serious look on his face just makes it better!
In watching bonus features, we find out from an interview with Mandy Patinkin ( Inigo). He lost his father to cancer when he was young. He said that in the scene killing the count gave him closure for his father.
Yayyy I love this movie. This was a movie that only existed at my grandmas house on VHS.. and nobody else I knew owned it. This was such a good part of my childhood. I love it.
Wow this was the only movie you had at your grandma’s? You must have watched this movie a lot😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. It's my favorite movie. A comedy that I think you'll like is Young Frankenstein.
The kid is Fred Savage, and he was one of the best child actors ever. He starred in an incredible TV show called "The Wonder Years", and it would make my life if you reacted to it...I'd join a Patreon for that.
This movie and Anastasia (animated) were my favorite “princess” movies as a kid. :)
the final shot, when he asks his grampa to come back and read it again, he repies "as you wish" and we learn in the story that actually means "I love you". Such a great movie. You have some great reactions, keep the variety on your channel, have seen a couple of yours now.
Thanks so much! And yeah I didn't say it or have a reaction but I understood it! Appreciate it
The movie is fantastical bc it’s being shown through the little boy’s perspective as he’s imagining it, while his grandpa is telling it.
So perfect and so amazing 😍💜
Interesting fact: Father of Mandy Patinkin died of cancer, when Mandy was 19, so Inigo's quote "I want my father back..." is really touching and personal for him.
The grandfather was played by the actor who played “Colombo” which was a popular tv detective show.
His famous line in that show was “just one more thing”and is a part of pop culture that is quoted to this day,.....so him being the one saying the famous line “as you wish” at the end of this movie was very appropriate. 🙂
This movie is a 10/10 for me because it's just so wonderful, and it's also self-aware of what it's trying to be with its cheeky humor and gags. It's the kind of movie I want to watch when *I* am sick!
you probably don’t know Errol Flynn but he was a superstar in the 40s-60s, especially for adventurous, swash-buckling films. the fella who taught and choreographed most of Flynn’s sword scenes did the same for this film which is one of the reasons all the sword work is so good.
Basil Rathbone was a better swordsman than Errol. Sometimes Basil would forget the choreography and just fight. Errol Flynn hated that.
They film in cold weather. The Giant always used his hand, to cover Buttercup's head, to warm her up. Sadly he died, very young. :(
Right? The way Robin Wright tells that story on the extras just makes it even more heartwarming/sad.
You're heart is so big it's so enjoyable to watch your reactions
Mandy Patinkin said his favourite line was one in the end about he's been I the revenge business for so long he doesn't know what to do with his life. If you let one thing consume you it can become your whole life.
I can literally quote this entire movie word for word😂😂
Andre the Giant was in great pain the last years of his life while filming this movie and doing wrestling events. Because of his work ethic or love of his fans he kept going.
Fred Savage, the sick kid, seems to have grown into a decent person, unlike a lot of child actors 🎥 💓 🍿
This is one of my dad's absolute favorite movies. Top tier humor, i always loved this growing up! A classic forever🤌
"Oh, a book..." You sound just like me when when I was a kid and would get socks as a gift. Best. Leo.
If only you went out shopping with the present givers during the rest of the year and picked out socks then, you would be getting more exciting things for Christmas. I learned that ages ago 😏
@@chrissmith6097 You mean I wasted all my time begging Gram for an Ideal Napoleon Solo Man from UNCLE Gun ($3.98 w/o ammo)? Best. Leo.
@@michaelbastraw1493 no, you just would have been more likely to get that toy from Gram if you went out shopping with her a couple times during the year, getting clothes on those trips and pointing out the toys you wanted for Christmas. My grandparents always liked going to the movies but they rarely went by themselves, having that depression era mentality, but they were always willing to take me if I asked, then they were much more willing to take me shopping afterwards for clothes, which a “growing boy always needs”.
At my age and job, I ask for socks for Christmas!
Robin Wright was just a sight to behold. If she wasn't the most beautiful blonde on the planet at that time.. She really looked like a buttercup.
Nick has so many reactions that are exactly what the Fred Savage character would have. Inconceivable.
This is my favorite movie of all time! 🙌🏼 Just… EVERYTHING about this story is awesome 🤩 the actual book is even better, but the movie does it absolute justice 👌🏽
This is my favorite movie. I still do that grandfather thing when I go anywhere "alright. okay. alright". Used to drive my daughter crazy with that. :D
This movie shaped my personality more than my own parents.
😂👌
"I want my father back you son of a b*tch!" BEST line in the movie!
I saw this as a kid when it actually came out; I watched it with a babysitter. I loved it then, and I love it now.
I met Chris Sarandon and Wallace Shawn at comic con. They autographed my Princess Bride copy. I saw Cary when he met a public appearance in Massachusetts. They showed the movie in the local Hanover theater. Cary told a story that Andre the Giant had to use a 4 wheeler ATV to get around the set. He let Cary ride it. Cary broke his toe on the ATV.
the kid: "I wasn't nervous..."
NickFlix: "I was."
x'DDD (Same though)
The sword fights are throwbacks to classic Hollywood...Eroll Flynn movies like Captain Blood... the music of which heavily inspired Star Wars.. also.. I believe this movie shares the same sword fight choreographer as the Star Wars films.
Oh really that’s so awesome thanks for sharing that insight!
Yeah. Bob Anderson wore the Darth Vader suit in fight scenes on both Empire and RotJ. He also did stunts in a couple of Errol Flynn movies in the 50's, and was sword master on the Lord of the Rings trilogy as well.
Realized the Dread Pirate Roberts was probably named after the actual pirate Bartholomew Roberts, one of the last great pirates of the 18th. Century, who captured over 400 ships before being killed in battle with the British Navy.
It is called a 'Fractured Fable'.
The 'cheesiness' of the movie is because it is what the boy is imagining as he hears it.
Not long ago I was in a sandwich shop and the guy taking my order, who was around 18, was bopping to the song that was playing over the speakers. It was Money for Nothing by Dire Straits. He asked his buddies, "Hey, what's the name of this song?" I told him the name of the song and said, "It's an oldie by Dire Straits, whose lead was Mark Knopfler. Did you know that he also composed the music to The Princess Bride?" He looked at me blankly and said, 'What's The Princess Bride?" At that point, his coworkers started in on him: "Dude! Haven't you ever seen The Princess Bride?! It's a great movie! You'd better watch it!"
Asking around since then, it seems a lot of young people today have never seen the movie, and some have never heard of it. What I like about the movie the most, I think, is that, despite the old game system the young boy (Fred Savage) was playing when his grandfather arrived (Peter Falk), the movie is timeless and can be enjoyed for years to come.
If you're interested, there are some great videos here on CZcams of the actors talking about the movie. I just watched one where Rob Reiner, the director, had a fun discussion with Cary Elwes (Westley) and Robin Wright (Buttercup). One of the people they talked about is André the Giant, who played Fezzik, and what a sweetheart he was. He weighed about 520 lbs, was a professional wrestler, and sadly died when he was only 46. André suffered from acromegaly, in which the body doesn't stop secreting growth hormone and his heart finally gave out. He died after attending his own father's funeral in Paris. Those who suffer from acromegaly are not expected to live beyond 40, so he beat the odds by a few years.
If you have had a chance to watch the new comedy based on the life of Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), it jumps around in time to different parts of his life. When he was young, though, his father was a wrestler and André the Giant was a frequent guest at their home. The actor who plays André does a good job mimicking his speech pattern.
Finally, one other tidbit I learned recently. Mandy Patinkin, who played Inigo Montoya, had lost his own father to cancer a few months before filming the movie, which may have made his line to the six-fingered man, "I want my father back, you son of a bitch!" all the more poignant.
Your reactions are pure gold
1:29 by far my all time favorite intro to the princess bride (1987)
Carey Elwes was a hottie back in the days... hahahah. He was very good in comedy like Robin Hood:Men in Tights. Well this movie somehow reminds me the amazing "The Fall" with Lee Pace.
Have never heard of The Fall, will add it to my list!
@@nickflix8657 Please do! I would love to see that. I agree that it's amazing.
This was in the middle of one of the greatest run of movies from any director
This is Spinal Tap
The Sure Thing
Stand By Me
The Princess Bride
When Harry met Sally
Misery
A Few Good Men
We have horror, mockumentory, the best romantic comedy of all time, a military law drama, the coming of age film and The Princess Bride.
Only The Sure Thing wouldn’t be considered a classic in its genre
Just some trivia... the actress who played Princess Buttercup was also Jenny in Forrest Gump.
All of these actors continued to have big careers pretty much, The grandfather, Peter Faulk was already famous. Wallace Shaun, who played Vizzini is currently on the show Young Sheldon. Unfortunately Andre the Giant, who played Fezzik passed away not long after the movie but he was already famous as a wrestler.
Dang, I know I'm late to this one, but........
OH MY GOD, YOU WATCHED *PRINCESS BRIDE* !?!? I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE BECAUSE I WAS TOO BUSY BINGING YOUR AVATAR REACTIONS. BUT THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES AND ITS ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME! eeeeeeeeeEeeeEeeEHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😆😆😆😆
Me, after seeing literally 4 minutes of your reaction and first time in this channel: I love this man already. New sub!
Numerical ratings of movies is a mug's game. One direction or the other, you're going to end up being boxed in eventually. It just seems to stress reactors unnecessarily where most viewers would be just as happy with like or not like and an explanation. Best. Leo.
You’re not wrong. To be honest the rating system is kind of for me too as even before CZcams would still come up with a number in my head about how I feel about it. But realized I don’t need to give every movie a rating just as long as I talked about the movie and how I felt.
Believe it or not this movie is based on a true story, as great as this movie is the book is phenomenal.
So funny story, I showed my Dad this movie and he was hesitant all the time before watching it. While watching it he played off the parts he enjoyed. A few days later he wanted to watch this again. He loves this movie now XD
I've been around for over half of a century (dear God, how is that possible???). I've seen a lot of movies, and although this isn't my favorite of all time, it really is the perfect movie. I didn't fall in love with it until many years after its release, but I know every line. This movie made Robin Wright, Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin, and inspired countless others to learn about the gentle giant that was Andre. I personally don't know a man or woman that doesn't watch this without the dream in their heart rising to the surface.
The more you watch this one, the better it gets. Thank you for reacting and connecting with this old guy by connecting at the right points to this movie.
Loved your reaction to the Inigo vs Count Rugan especially. Not-So-Fun-Fact: Inigo's actor was imagining stabbing the cancer that killed his father when he filmed that scene.
"I want my father back, you son of a bitch."
One of the most satisfying line deliveries in cinema.
It's crazy for me to think that the guy who played Westley (Cary Elwes) would go on to be Doctor Lawrence Gordon in the Saw franchise 17 years later
PLEASE do more movies like this. Awesome reaction!
I’m planning on doing more!
This is a great movie. It takes you to the very edge of absurdity without going overboard too much.
Loved your reaction. One of my fave movies. They re-released it in theaters a couple of years ago for the anniversary, so hubby and I saw it on the big screen. And I got a copy of actual book, the collector's edition, for Christmas. So glad you did this--thank you!
That’s so awesome, and it was an incredible movie!
WHAT A GREAT REACTION
Thanks so much!
Have fun stormin the castle!! ; )
This movie is absolutely wonderful. It will stand the test of time.
Yeyyyy my favourite movie ever. Glad your seeing it!!
One of my all-time favorite movies!
such a nice 'feel good' movie, it is a great comfort movie to watch
Completely agree so glad I watched it!
I was 11 when I saw this the first time. It has shaped my humour and life. Will always love it
Jake Roberts took Andre to a wrestling show and he finished off 80 beers before the show. Didn’t have too piss once in a three hour drive to the auditorium
I love this movie so much.
I found it by picking a random film at Blockbusters, and it immediately became one of my favourites.
It's such a weird movie. There are things about it that aren't very good, but somehow even the flaws end up becoming charming and feeling more like something positive. I've also rewatched it about a half dozen times, and I still have a lot of fun with it.
This movie taught me what honour is. I think it’s a superpower now.
So many great quotes in this movie
Glad you found this one.... t’was fun was’n it?....my go-to in times of stress, thanks for sharing 🤗
Very much so!
Along with Vanilla Sky, you need to see Blazing Saddles. It is a perfect comedy. :)
Don’t know if you caught it when they say ‘As you wish’ it is in place of it ‘I love you’!!!
Yep I got it didn’t say anything but I understood
You should do a reaction to the movie Yentl. Made in 1986. The guy that plays Inigio Montoya is the love interest in it with Barbara Streisand.
15:23 Me in slow mo: YES YES YEEEAAAAAUUUU
Just discovered this video... and all I can say is Labyrinth! Legend, Willow, and Nimh! Many other s too!
Labyrinth is up on my channel! The rest are coming.
@@nickflix8657 SWEET!
A beautiful little tale I heard about this movie: While filming outside, between takes, Andre would sit down, plonk Robin on his lap and wrap his arms around her, engulfing her and keeping her warm.
"Princess Bride" spelled backward is "Edirb Ssecnirp."
Good lord! Then the conspiracy DOES exist!
This is one of those perfect movies 😍
Great reaction my friend!
Thank you much appreciated!
The girl plays Jenny in Forest Gump and Inigo Montoya plays the senior agent in Homeland.
Oh have never seen Forest Gump or Homeland. Forest Gump is on my list though!
@@nickflix8657 if you've seen Wonder Woman she also plays Diana's aunt Antiope, the lead amazon warrior.
@@calgeekus ohh yeah I do recognize her from Wonder Woman!
If you've seen "Scrooged," you might recognize the lady healer as Carol Kane, the Ghost of Christmas Present.
Check out The Goonies if you've never seen it.
It’s on my list! Hope to get to it soon
It's family friendly but I don't think think I'd call it a family movie.
You are a great reacter!
Thanks so much!
