The Princess Bride is a 1987 movie directed by Rob Reiner, adapted by William Goldman from his 1973 book of the same name. The story is set in the fictional European nation of Florin, and stars Buttercup (Robin Wright), a simple yet incredibly beautiful farmgirl, and Westley (Cary Elwes), the farmhand she enjoys ordering around. Although they realize that they share the incredibly rare thing called "true love", fate conspires to keep them apart, as Westley is lost at sea.Five years later, Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon), who rules Florin in place of his elderly and doddering father, decides to celebrate the kingdom's 500th anniversary by marrying Buttercup, who is still the most beautiful woman in the kingdom. Buttercup, knowing that the Prince is well within his rights and believing she can never love again anyway, reluctantly agrees.In a plot against the throne, Buttercup is kidnapped by the criminal trio of Vizzini (the mastermind), Fezzik (the giant), and Inigo Montoya (the world's greatest fencer, traveling to avenge his father), played by Wallace Shawn, André the Giant, and Mandy Patinkin, respectively — but their steps are hampered by a mysterious man in black who seems determined to stop them at all costs. The subsequent adventures are madcap, iconic, and brilliant.The movie uses a Framing Device of a grandfather (Peter Falk of Columbo) reading the story to his sick grandson (Fred Savage) with the boy complaining about the story at various points. ("They're kissing again.")An official roleplaying game, The Princess Bride Roleplaying Game was fully funded on Kickstarter in 2018. and released by Toy Vault, Inc. using the Fudge system.In 2020, the film was "remade" by Jason Reitman for the mobile app Quibi to benefit World Central Kitchen during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Various celebrities filmed themselves reenacting scenes from the film with homemade props and costumes. Fred Savage, Cary Elwes and Rob Reiner participated as did Rob's father Carl Reiner who filmed his scene just three days before his death. See Home Movie: The Princess Bride.

Look Behind You: Vizzini does this in the "Battle of Wits" scene so he can swap goblets without the Man in Black knowing he'd done so. But he does so with such a flourish that it's clear that he knows that Vizzini has done so, and plays along. The ROUS attack in the Fire Swamp.

Boulder Bludgeon: Vizzini (the brains of the bad guy trio) is the one who insists that the giant Fezzik should smash the Man in Black's head in with a huge rock — but Fezzik actually prefers a fairer fight. When the Man in Black does show up, Fezzik deliberately misses with the first rock, just to prove that he could have killed him, then challenges the Man in Black to a fight without weapons.

Can't Kill You, Still Need You

comment
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Humperdinck after his first plan to have his fiancée assassinated and Guilder framed for the crime realizes that he can't kill Buttercup before the wedding because there would be no alibi for him with her safe at the castle with the guard doubled to protect her, and thus the people would revolt on realizing what had happened. This is also why he talks Buttercup out of killing herself before the wedding. He instead plans to kill her on their wedding night, when everyone's guard is down.

Tempting Fate: "Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist." Cue a Rodent of Unusual Size jumping out of nowhere to attack. Also in the framing device: when learning that his grandfather has come to visit, the boy moans that he hates it when his grandfather pinches his cheek to greet him. His mother suggests that maybe that won't happen this time. Guess what the first thing the grandfather does on greeting the boy is.

Master Swordsman
 The Princess Bride / int_17a606bd
comment
Master Swordsman: Westley and Inigo both qualify. Inigo has studied the sword for twenty years straight to acquire the skills necessary to avenge his father. Westley has only had a few years of practice under his belt, but has even more natural talent (and spending those years fighting for his life on a pirate ship probably gave him more real-world experience than Inigo was able to get).

 The Princess Bride / int_1dfbbf31
comment
Heterosexual Life-Partners: Fezzik and Inigo are established to be friends in their first scene (and neither of them is friends with Vizzini, which is established instantly, as well). They express concern over one another being in danger multiple times. When they reunite, Fezzik nurses Inigo back to health... or rather, sobriety. Even the movie's soundtrack seems to think they are a couple — listen to the music when Fezzik finds the drunk Inigo. For a second, the music used sounds like it belongs in a "lovers reunited" scene.

Advantage Ball: Goes with Flynning as always — Inigo and the Man in Black trade the ball back and forth during their duel; most notably, they each grab it when declaring their handedness. Westley's To the Pain speech and its results serve to swipe the ball from Humperdinck and return it to the good guys.

Punch-Clock Villain: Inigo and Fezzik are only on the bad guys' side because they're working for Vizzini. Given that neither of them seem to enjoy his company, and they both insist on fighting fair with the Man In Black, it's no big surprise they later go over to the hero's side. The Albino seems to be one of these, too. The actor's performance mostly suggests he's just doing his job, even if it is a pretty evil jobnote even more so in the book, where he offers to kill Westley to spare him the pain of the machine.

Ironic Echo: "I swear it will be done" (Prince Humperdinck and Count Rugen). A visual example, once again with Count Rugen: Every wound he takes during his duel with Inigo is somewhere that he previously inflicted on Inigo with his sword. For those keeping score, that's both cheeks, right arm, and the left shoulder, then Inigo runs him through the heart to avenge his father's deathnote This last counts double, depending on how you look at it; Inigo says that Rugen slashed his father through the heart, so he is replicating that injury. However, this wound also counts for Inigo himself, as he would consider himself to have been stabbed through the heart that day with the loss of his beloved father.

Try and Follow: Vizzini thinks that Climbing the Cliffs of Insanity is enough to deter persuit, since only Fezzik is strong enough to haul himself (and the other three) all the way to the top. But the Man in Black gives chase anyway. Westley and Buttercup successfully lose Humperdinck's men by entering the Fire Swamp, which by reputation no one can survive traversing. However, Humperdinck merely uses his horses' superior speed to go around and beat them to the other side.

comment
Defrosting Ice Queen: Buttercup goes from one to the other and back again throughout the story. She starts out cold, then defrosts when she realizes she's in love with Westley, then freezes up again after he's murdered by pirates, then defrosts again when she learns he wasn't murdered after all.

Disappeared Dad
 The Princess Bride / int_28cd01ca
comment
Disappeared Dad: The way Grandpa describes the tradition of fathers reading the book to their sons when they're sick, it seems like something his own son should be doing. The fact that he's doing it himself may indicate that his son (i.e. the Grandson's dad) is not in the picture for whatever reason.

Bilingual Bonus

comment
Bilingual Bonus: After Inigo loses his fight with the Man in Black, he returns to where he was told by Vizzini to wait, and gets stinking drunk. A member of the palace guard sees him and yells, "Ho there!" Inigo replies, "I do not budge. Keep your 'joder'!" The word "joder" (which sounds like "Ho there" in English) means "fuck" in Spanish; he's basically telling the guard to fuck off.

Damsel out of Distress
 The Princess Bride / int_2b49eaf
comment
Damsel out of Distress: Subverted; after being kidnapped by Vizzini, Buttercup jumps into the water in order to reach another ship and sanctuary. A few carnivorous eels get in the way, and when Fezzik pulls her back aboard, Vizzini ties her hands so that she can't repeat the attempt. Later when she is recaptured by the Dread Pirate Roberts, she takes the time to kick him down the cliff, which likely would have been a successful escape, if he didn't reveal who he was on the way down, making the need to escape redundant.

Give Me a Sign: While holding the sword his late father made, Inigo asks his father's spirit to guide his sword and lead him to Westley. Then he closes his eyes while holding the sword out in front of him, and ultimately sticks it into a tree. Feeling let down and probably foolish, Inigo slumps down onto the tree. And then it opens up...

 The Princess Bride / int_319e4a2f
comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Count Rugen is a smarmy bastard, yes, but on the other hand... "NOT TO FIFTY!!" However, his protest might be because he wants to draw out the torture (he is writing a book, after all, and he needs his victim's input), and doesn't want his prisoner killed outright. He states earlier that he "might one day go as high as five" when torturing Westley, which suggests that he is concerned about both—he wants the torture drawn out so as to study it, but doesn't see Westley as deserving of a maximally agonizing death.

Gentle Giant

comment
Gentle Giant: Fezzik looks threatening from his size and muscles but he's a really nice guy. This matches Andre himself, making this a case of Ink-Suit Actor in many ways, as Andre was picked almost entirely because he fit so well with Fezzik's personality. Hulk Hogan mentioned in his DVD that "if Andre had been a mean person, there would have been nobody else but him as a big name in this business", i.e. The wrestling industry, due to his size and raw power. Many people were often taken by surprise at the sheer size of Andre, but much like Fezzik, the man was— although a mostly private person for the most part— as gentle as a lamb more often than not. Also much like Andre, it seems to take an incredible amount to even get Fezzik genuinely angry. Legend had it that Andre could be terrifying when roused to anger, but he preferred to be kind to others more often than not. It seems that Reiner truly picked the best possible man to play Fezzik. Sadly, Andre was in no real shape to do some of the more impressive things Fezzik probably could have done otherwise, due to acromegaly and wrestling injuries slowly chipping away at his health.

Honor Before Reason

comment
Honor Before Reason: Both Inigo and the Man in Black demonstrate this during their encounter at the top of the Cliffs of Insanity. The Man in Black accepts Inigo's assistance to reach the top, knowing that Inigo intends to kill him and could easily let him fall, after Inigo swears on his dead father's soul that the Man will reach the top alive. Inigo then lets him rest and hands over his sword for the Man in Black to admire; the Man in Black even gives him a You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me! look as he's examining it. Then he gives it back. If either of them had been less honorable than the other, the other would have been in serious trouble. Fezzik also demonstrates this in his fight with the Man in Black. Rather than throw a rock at the Man in Black from his hidden position, Fezzik intentionally misses the shot, announces himself to the Man in Black, and insists they fight hand-to-hand.

Afterwards, when Westley has Inigo at his mercy, the latter insists Get It Over With, but Westley responds with a merciful Tap on the Head, pausing only to say "I hold you in the highest possible respect." When they meet again (and Inigo is no longer a Punch-Clock Villain), they become allies almost instantly.

comment
And Now You Must Marry Me: Buttercup is initially willing to marry Humperdinck because after Westley's death, she has nothing else to live for. After Westley is revealed to be alive, she agrees to go through with the wedding only to keep him alive and free — not that Humperdinck has any intention of honoring his word.

Kansas City Shuffle: The Battle of Wits. Vizzini switches the cups while the Man in Black is distracted so he won't realize that he's really drinking from the poisoned chalice once Vizzini makes his selection. Except the Man in Black lied about the whole premise of the game. Both cups were poisoned, so it never mattered which cup Vizzini chose. And amusingly enough, Vizzini very nearly stumbled his way onto the real con a couple of times, but never quite put it all together.

However, he seems sincerely concerned that Guilder kidnapped her and plans to kill her — then he reveals that he was behind Buttercup's abduction all along, as a pretext for a war with Guilder.

Inter-Class Romance: Buttercup, a commoner, and Prince Humperdinck, prince, to the extent that it counts as a romance. He has her ennobled as a princess before he marries her. Buttercup is more middle-class than Westley, who is after all, her family's farm boy. She initially considers him to be beneath her notice and all he says to her is "as you wish," before she realizes they're in love.

Affably Evil

Affably Evil: Prince Humperdinck and Count Rugen seem to be genuine friends. Their exchange in the forest establishes, for the first time, that Humperdinck is genuinely evil, but is also full of little moments of relatability for both of them, like Rugen struggling to find the secret door to the Pit of Despair ("It's impossible to find...") and encouraging Humperdinck to get some rest. Notice how Humperdinck tells Buttercup, with all the sad puppy eyes he can muster, that he hopes she will at least consider him less bad than suicide, as if he really feels hurt that she considers marriage to him to be a Fate Worse than Death (though it's later subverted, when it turns out that he only wants her to go through with the wedding so he can murder her and frame a neighboring country, Guilder, for it as an excuse to go to war).

The Dragon: Count Rugen works for Prince Humperdinck as his accomplice in his evil deeds and is clearly a better swordsman than him. Inigo takes him on so that Westley can reach Buttercup in time to save her from Humperdinck (and herself). Inigo, himself a master swordsman, is nearly defeated and wins only through sheer force of will.

Pragmatic Adaptation: Interesting case since the author himself adapted it to a screenplay. Many lines from cut characters are transplanted onto other characters. The stack of frame stories and unreliable narrations in the book, all focused on the reader-writer relationship, is slimmed down to one simple frame story, removing most of the postmodernism and satire.

Heel–Face Turn: Inigo and Fezzik, technically. They were never more than Punch-Clock Villains in the first place, and after their boss dies, Inigo continues pursuing his revenge in the best way he knows how, and Fezzik helps him because they're friends. This leads them to ally with the heroes, without a change in their own motivations.

But for Me, It Was Tuesday
 The Princess Bride / int_648fe274
comment
But for Me, It Was Tuesday: The Dread Pirate Roberts supposedly kills anyone he captures (it's an Informed Attribute). When Buttercup realizes the Man in Black is the Dread Pirate Roberts, she accuses him of having killed her Westley, and he calmly replies, "It's possible. I kill a lot of people." (Ultimately averted, however, as it turns out the Man in Black knows exactly who she is and was just testing her reaction.) Inigo also seems to be prepared for this outcome, as the iconic line he has prepared for when he finally finds the Six-Fingered Man involves explaining who he is and how the Six-Fingered Man wronged him. This turns out to be subverted, however, as Count Rugen, after impaling Inigo with a dagger, recognizes him as "the Spanish brat [he] taught a lesson to" all those years ago.

Eye-Dentity Giveaway: Downplayed. When the Dread Pirate Roberts asks Buttercup to talk about Westley, she mentions his eyes "like the sea after a storm". Looking at Roberts' similar-looking eyes while she says this, her voice falters. But it takes him saying "As you wish" for her to actually realize Roberts IS Westley.

Driven to Suicide: Buttercup resolves to kill herself after her wedding to Humperdinck, because Humperdinck reveals to her he's had Westley murdered, and Westley doesn't show up in time to interrupt the wedding. It's a good thing Westley was only mostly dead and happened to be in the honeymoon suite waiting for her.

Fractured Fairy Tale
 The Princess Bride / int_6d5ab39e
comment
Fractured Fairy Tale: It's mostly a fairy tale played straight, with a few notable subversions (and interuptions for Conversational Troping) thrown in. Most fairy tales end with a beautiful girl getting married to a handsome prince. Buttercup's meeting and engagement to the handsome prince is one where the prince threatens to kill her if she doesn't agree to marry him, and he's the villain. The real hero is technically an infamous pirate who kidnaps her. Lastly, a climactic swordfight between the hero and villain is notably averted. They still manage to fit the climactic swordfight in (and it was properly researched, too), but it's done by two members of the supporting cast.

Shut Up, Kirk!: What Buttercup tells the Dread Pirate Roberts (actually Westley): she "died" the day that she heard her true love was gone, and he has no right to accuse her of being unfaithful when as far as she knows that Roberts murdered Westley. And to accentuate the point, she pushes Roberts down a hill.

I Gave My Word: It is played straight by Inigo as Westley is trying to climb the Cliffs of Insanity. He swears by his father's grave that Westly will reach the top alive and indeed he does. It is twisted around when Prince Humperdinck promises not to hurt Westley if Buttercup goes quietly (planning to let Count Rugen do it), but ultimately subverted when Humperdinck mostly kills Westley himself.

Scarily Competent Tracker: Prince Humperdinck is pointed out to be so, and demonstrates it by instantly identifying a colorless, tasteless, and odorless poison by sniffing its vial. His skill is even more notable later after the revelation that the kidnapping had not gone as he planned it to go, so even he is being surprised by what he is discovering — but he still tracks them.

Clark Kenting: The Dread Pirate Roberts is Westley, with a mustache and a black mask over his eyes and hair. It's amazing Buttercup takes so long to realize it, but in the years since his supposed death Wesley has changed his mannerisms so completely from the shy farmboy Buttercup knew that it's almost plausible — not to mention that Buttercup thought he was dead. While hints of this is in the film, the book makes it clear that Buttercup is a Brainless Beauty. It is very possible that she wouldn't have been able to figure it out until Westley spells it out for her.

Adaptation Explanation Extrication: Buttercup is somewhat confusingly presented to the populace as a princess when she's betrothed, but not yet married, to Prince Humperdinck. The book explains that she was declared princess-by-fiat of some little backwater principality just so that Humperdinck wouldn't be marrying a commoner. Humperdinck's habit of simultaneously riding four white horses is removed, making them seem to come out of nowhere at the end.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The Man in Black testing Buttercup's faithfulness to Westley, instead of telling her who he is, ends up with both of them rolling down a hill and having to navigate the Fire Swamp to get to his ship. This gives Humperdinck enough time to catch up to them, and forces Buttercup to bargain for Westley's life. Buttercup giving a "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Humperdinck enrages the latter enough to kill Westley with the machine.

Adaptational Nice Guy
 The Princess Bride / int_82a64c4b
comment
Adaptational Nice Guy: A subtle example. Fezzik is a relatively sympathetic character in both the book and film, pushed into a life of crime by circumstance, but in the film when they first kidnap Buttercup, he is clearly against killing her, telling Vizzini, "I just don't think it's right, killing an innocent girl." In the book, his first protest against Vizzini is that they should kill her sooner than Vizzini has planned, and later he adds, "I don't like killing a girl." He never mentions right or wrong.

Conservation of Ninjutsu: Averted. Both Fezzik and Inigo are shown to be highly skilled, but as Inigo admits, the raw numbers of the Prince's guard would best them anyway. Lampshaded and justified in-universe by Fezzik whilst going toe-to-toe with the Man in Black.

Right for the Wrong Reasons
 The Princess Bride / int_83cef301
comment
Right for the Wrong Reasons: Inigo hears a scream, which he identifies as the sound of "ultimate suffering", and concludes that it must be the Man in Black: "His true love is marrying another tonight, so who else has the cause for ultimate suffering?" He's right about it being the Man in Black, but he's actually being tortured by the Machine, which completely undermines Inigo's reasoning; it might just as well have been anybody else who'd happened to get on Humperdinck's bad side.

Mexican Standoff

Mexican Standoff: Between Vizzini and the Man in Black, leading up to the Battle of Wits. The standoff is in part theoretical — the Man in Black has no weapon trained on Vizzini, but the latter knows he'd never stand up to the Man physically, so his knife is at Buttercup's throat, effectively holding the Man in Black at bay.

Villain with Good Publicity: Prince Humperdinck seems to enjoy the support, or at least the apathy, of most of his subjects. The need to maintain his good publicity is why he plans to kill such a popular figure as Princess Buttercup in the first place — framing Guilder for the crime will give him the pretext he needs to go to war with the support of the populace.

Self-Poisoning Gambit: After Vizzini switches the cups, he carefully watches the Man in Black's reaction to his choice. When The Man in Black shows no hesitation to drink, Vizzini concludes that the Man in Black thought he was getting the "safe" cup, which Vizzini now has due to his earlier switch. Vizzini happily downs his wine, unaware that he had been fooled and was falling victim to this trope instead.

Dumb Blonde: Buttercup doesn't come across as dumb so much as sheltered and naïve, which makes sense, given she's transported from a tiny farm into royalty. (She's the one to notice the impending ambush as Roberts confronts Humperdinck, for example.) She also lampshades it with some Self-Deprecation while she's nailing Humperdinck with a pretty fair "The Reason You Suck" Speech.

Note that all this "As You Know" blather is justified by Vizzini really just trying to play for time and hope for the Man in Black to give away which cup is poisoned. Humperdinck: "...when I hired Vizzini to have her murdered on our engagement day, I thought that was clever." Rugen: "As you know, the concept of the suction pump is centuries old."

Stay in the Kitchen: The Man in Black's attitude towards Buttercup seems to be this, seemingly setting him up as a Politically Incorrect Villain, at least to modern audiences. However, when it's revealed he is actually her true love, Westley, who loves her deeply, one could conjecture the cavalier chauvinism was just Westley venting his anger at her for giving up on him. Or maybe it was part of his disguise. Or... Maybe he was always like this but he never talked before except to say "As you wish".

The Evil Prince: Humperdinck is already ruling his kingdom de facto due to his father's senility, and can't wait to start a war of conquest with neighboring Guilder. He has no qualms about marrying and murdering his most beautiful subject to bring that about, either.

Marrying the Mark: Prince Humperdink's apparent political marriage to Buttercup is actually a part of a Genghis Gambit; once she's captured the hearts of the populace, he intends to have her killed and frame Gilder for the assassination so he has a Pretext for War.

Dented Iron: André the Giant was this, due to both his acromegaly and a lifetime of professional wrestling. Before the filming, he had major surgery performed on his lower back to try to alleviate the pain from decades of damage. He was therefore unable to lift Robin Wright in the scene where he carried her, and she was supported by cables that were hidden under her clothing. During his fight scene with Cary Elwes, pay close attention to the scene where Westley is hanging on to his back. Elwes is actually standing and walking on a ramp, his arms are only very loosely draped over André's shoulders, and he is being very careful to not put any of his weight onto André.

 The Princess Bride / int_a60e3252

Rule of Funny: Inigo has to count on his fingers to figure out he would be left with 20 men after Fezzik says he can handle 10 of the 30 guarding the gate. It's best not to think about that later when Inigo later instantly counts 60 men now guarding the gate.note Hungover vs. Sober; also might be that Inigo can count very quickly, but has more trouble doing mental math when he can't directly see what he's counting

Cool Sword: Inigo's sword is a special one made by his father commissioned for Count Rugen, with a grip specifically designed for a six-fingered hand; the Man in Black admits he's "never seen its equal." As Inigo explains, when Rugen wouldn't pay his father the promised amount, he refused to give him the sword, and Rugen murdered him.

Oh, Crap!: Buttercup when a shrieking eel advances on her. Buttercup when she realizes that the Man in Black is Westley and she just pushed him down a hill. Westley gets this multiple times in the Fire Swamp: on seeing Buttercup's dress catch on fire, quicksand swallowing her, an ROUS appearing just out of her line of vision, and finally encountering Humperdinck's army. Yellin the castle gate guard when he gets a good look at Fezzik. Rugen gets in on the action when Humperdinck turns the machine to its maximum on Wesley, bordering on O.O.C. Is Serious Business for the Cold Ham Rugen.

Catchphrase

comment
Catchphrase: Several, all of which have helped the film's status as a Cult Classic and entered the public mind in and of themselves. Inigo has been practicing the perfect phrase to use when he finally meets the Six-Fingered Man and exacts his revenge. During their duel, he turns it into a Survival Mantra as part of his Heroic Second Wind. "Hello!. My Name Is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to Die." As a farmboy, Westley says nothing but "As You Wish" to Buttercup. Eventually, she is astonished to discover that when he says, "as you wish," what he means is, "I love you." Whenever Vizzini is frustrated by his plan going awry, he thunders, "Inconceivable!" This ultimately gets Inigo confused about what Vizzini thinks the word means. Buttercup repeatedly insists that "My Westley will always come for me!"

Both Inigo and the Man in Black demonstrate this during their encounter at the top of the Cliffs of Insanity. The Man in Black accepts Inigo's assistance to reach the top, knowing that Inigo intends to kill him and could easily let him fall, after Inigo swears on his dead father's soul that the Man will reach the top alive. Inigo then lets him rest and hands over his sword for the Man in Black to admire; the Man in Black even gives him a You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me! look as he's examining it. Then he gives it back. If either of them had been less honorable than the other, the other would have been in serious trouble.

Berserk Button: How ill Miracle Max thinks of Prince Humperdinck firing him is clear given how he reacts when his wife Valerie brings it up when calling him a liar. This is ultimately how Inigo is able to convince him to help out for what little money Inigo has, by promising him that if he brings Westley back to life, he'll stop Humperdinck's wedding and Humperdinck will suffer "humiliations galore."note The book indicates that the money was actually a decent amount; Max was just afraid to fail, and claimed it was too little as an excuse. Count Rugen seems to have one about his extra finger. Not counting his duel with Inigo, he is calm and soft-spoken throughout the movie except for one moment — when Westley comments that someone was looking for a six-fingered man. He hasn't insulted him or anything, but Rugen immediately clubs Westley on the head.

Melee Disarming: During Inigo and The Man In Black's duel, The Man In Black briefly disarms Inigo with an adroit flip of the sword out of Inigio's hand. To end the duel, The Man In Black disarms Inigo again. The actual Disarm isn't Flynning, but what leads up to it is. The Man In Black swirls his sword before Inigo, confusing him as to where it is and will be, whips it beside his head, then just knocks Inigo's sword from his loose fingers while he's distracted.

comment
The Dread Pirate Roberts supposedly kills anyone he captures (it's an Informed Attribute). When Buttercup realizes the Man in Black is the Dread Pirate Roberts, she accuses him of having killed her Westley, and he calmly replies, "It's possible. I kill a lot of people." (Ultimately averted, however, as it turns out the Man in Black knows exactly who she is and was just testing her reaction.)

Insane Troll Logic: Some of Vizzini's analysis about which cup the Man in Black is more likely to have poisoned seems like this, although it's subverted in that he isn't really using this logic, he's just blabbing while observing the Man in Black for a telling reaction.

Shout-Out
 The Princess Bride / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Westley's "man in black" outfit is a dead ringer for the costume Douglas Fairbanks wore in The Mark of Zorro in 1920. Fezzik asks the Man in Black if he's wearing a mask because he was burned by acid, a reference to Phantom of the Opera. The Dread Pirate Roberts and his ship Revenge is a reference to two famous real pirates Bartholomew Roberts (1682-1722) and Edward "Blackbeard" Teach (1680-1718), whose ship was named Queen Anne's Revenge. It is not inconceivable that Vizzini is named after the legendary Sicillian mafia leader Calogero "Don Calò" Vizzini (1877-1954)

Legacy Character: The "Dread Pirate Roberts" is actually a title that has been held by a number of individuals. Westley reveals that he is the fourth person to use the mantle in order to uphold the legend, after the real Roberts retired, followed by a guy named Cummerbund, and then a man named Ryan. Fezzik even briefly takes up the identity to scare a few guards when Storming the Castle, which also involves him being set on fire. At the end of the movie, Inigo wonders what to do now that he got his revenge, and Westley suggests passing the name to him.

comment
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Inigo and Fezzik are looking for Westley, their only lead is incapacitated, and they're running out of time. In desperation, Inigo invokes his father's spirit and attempts to use his sword as a dousing rod. When he runs into a tree, he slumps over in despair, but it just so happens that he slumps onto the hidden switch that opens the secret passageway leading to whom they're looking for. It may be dumb luck, but the tree is covered in knots and Count Rugen, who uses the passage on a regular basis, had some trouble in finding it. Is Miracle Max a wizard or simply a medicine man? While some of his acts stretch the boundaries of realism (extracts a "message" from the apparently dead Westley by pushing air into his lungs with a bellows, gets him revived by having a pill stuck down his throat), he doesn't do anything clearly supernatural.

Metafictional Device: The characters are aware of fairy tales. . . without quite being aware that they're in one, though sometimes they seem to tread close to understanding that. Such as when Humperdinck notes that Westley and Buttercup's love is exceptionally rare "No matter what the storybooks say," and Westley himself seeming to believe Buttercup would be fully aware that "Death cannot stop true love — it can just delay it for awhile." And of course, the story is a storybook story, read by a grandfather to his grandson, who occasionally pause to discuss the tropes in play.

What the Hell, Hero?: Westley tries to call out Buttercup for not marrying her promised love, even though as far as she knows Westley is dead and she got An Offer You Can't Refuse from the prince of the land. Eventually subverted as Buttercup delivers a Shut Up, Kirk! and reveals that she "died that day" — the day she got news of Westley's death. Interestingly enough, Buttercup's conscience does this to her, when she surrenders to Humperdinck to save Westley's life. She starts having figures in her nightmares berating her.

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: All of one person other than the main characters seems to notice the eerie, overlapping scream that's loud enough to be heard all over Florin. And he just turns his head slightly before walking on, all of the other peasants blithely ignoring it. Of course, Inigo has to tell Fezzik to stop and listen before the giant acknowledges it, so it might simply not be as loud to the characters as it is to the viewers. Or worse, this sort of thing might be so common that they barely notice it any more.

Just a Stupid Accent
 The Princess Bride / int_db1ab4b1
comment
Just a Stupid Accent: The novel establishes that English is not the native language of Florin. But since Florin is a Fictional Country (with a fictional language), there is no accent to imitate. Thus, most of the Florinese characters (played mostly by American actors) speak with British Accents. Frenchman André the Giant and American Wallace Shawn go into Not Even Bothering with the Accent territory with their characters, Fezzik and Vizzini, who are supposed to be Turkish and Sicilian respectively. However, the actors retain their native accents, and Vizzini's claim to be Sicilian is treated more like a joke than anything else. Miracle Max and his wife appear to be Yiddish speakers (but there's no reason why they couldn't be.) Only Mandy Patinkin bothers to try to speak with his character's native Spanish accent, albeit not terribly well.

Ambiguously Gay: Prince Humperdink seems to have no interest at all in Buttercup and intends to use her purely to start a war, even planning to strangle her on their wedding night. Meanwhile, he and Count Rugen have a very close relationship.

To the Pain: Trope Namer. When Westley confronts Humperdinck, he challenges him to a duel and describes in detail what he's going to do to him when he wins. It's a bluff; he can barely stand, much less carry it out.

Only a Flesh Wound: In his final battle with Count Rugen, Inigo twice deflects sword thrusts into his shoulder and yet seems to show no visible effect from it. Not to mention, of course, the gaping dagger wound to the stomach (though he's having to hold it shut the whole time). He's even using all injured limbs normally without even wincing in pain after he kills Rugen, jumping out windows, and riding horses without missing a beat.

Freudian Trio

comment
Freudian Trio: Fezzik is the Ego, supplying the most rationality and grounded objections to certain insane plots. Inigo is the id, driven by his thirst for revenge against Count Rugen. Westley becomes their Superego, being the tactician and intellect needed to get them both working together effectively. In the original trio Vizzini was the Superego—a very bad one, berating instead of inspiring the ego and id to work together.

Exact Words: Two of them from Westley in the Battle Of Wits: His challenge to Vizzini is "Where is the poison?", not "Which glass is poisoned?" He also says that the battle "ends when you decide and we both drink." Not drinking from the cups, but drinking, which meant that he left room for Vizzini to Take a Third Option and drink from the bottle. Vezzini's statements throughout the Battle of Wits qualify, too: he's right every time when he says that he "clearly cannot choose the wine in front of you," and that he "clearly cannot choose the wine in front of me."

Humperdinck is presented as a Jerkass for claiming Buttercup as a trophy wife and later imprisoning Westley to get him out of the way. However, he seems sincerely concerned that Guilder kidnapped her and plans to kill her — then he reveals that he was behind Buttercup's abduction all along, as a pretext for a war with Guilder.

Jerkass: Humperdinck is a nasty piece of work, even for a storybook villain. He's arrogant, petty, and cruel; he is only marrying Buttercup as a way to foster outrage in Florin when she's murdered, thus securing popular support for a war with Guilder; and not only is he planning to murder Buttercup with his bare hands on their wedding night, he actually confesses that he's looking forward to that! He lies to Buttercup constantly. He sets up a phony kidnapping for him to foil and make himself a hero. Finally, he turns Westley over to Rugen for his abominable torture experiments, and then temporarily kills Westley in an unimaginably agonizing way — simply because he discovered how deeply Buttercup loves Westley.

comment
Adaptational Context Change: The novel's frame story is narrated by an adult looking back nostalgically at his childhood (as represented by the times his father used to read him The Princess Bride), and he gets in a few cynical zingers about what he's learned from growing up. The movie has a more hopeful frame story, about a child being read The Princess Bride for the first time, but some of the cynical zingers are retained and given to characters within the story: Westley says "Life is pain... anyone who tells you differently is selling something" when he's angry at Buttercup for (he thinks) abandoning him, and Miracle Max, who's become very cynical after his mistreatment by Humperdinck, gets the line about True Love being the greatest thing in the world except a good sandwich. In the novel, Westley and Buttercup's first kiss is described as obliterating the five other greatest kisses in human history. In the movie, it's their last kiss in the story that gets this description.

As we return to the grandfather and grandson at the end, the grandson asks the grandfather to come back and reread the book to him tomorrow. The grandfather answers, "As you wish."

You Were Trying Too Hard: Inigo tries to call upon the spirit of his dead father to help him find the Pit of Despair. He stumbles across the entrance once he stops trying to receive help from beyond the grave. Although the secret knot is right where his sword struck the tree, so maybe his father was guiding it after all. Vizzini is so busy playing I Know You Know I Know with the Man in Black that he completely ignores the notion that both glasses could be poisoned, especially as one of his guesses — that his opponent is immune — happens to be correct.

Brick Joke: A subtle one. The Man in Black explains iocane powder to Vizzini, noting that it is odorless, tasteless, and dissolves instantly in water. Later on, Buttercup tries to intimidate the Man in Black by sharing Humperdinck's (rather exaggerated) hunting abilities. A few scenes after that, along comes Prince Humperdinck and party, who find the small tube that the Man in Black had kept the powder in, and by smelling an odorless tube, Prince Humperdinck instantly discerns it's iocane.
