HA! Only one where I couldn't POINT with certainty, but? It's at a point in the movie that I'm usually too distracted by the action to pay attention to the words. Next time I watch? I'll try to rectify that..

Same results here. One of our favourite movies, and certainly the one we all quote the most.

In your defense, that line that occurs during the fencing match is a little difficult to make out with Mandy's outrageous Spanish accent.

*giggles* While they're fighting? I'm waaay to busy enjoying the fight itself to pay close attention to the dialogue! That fight is sooooo brilliant, AND a parody... *is awed* yeah, I think I'm due a rewatch anyway. Not that I think I'd get the line (maybe if I'm paying attention...? nah!), just because regular rewatching of that film is highly recommended!

^_^ Never utter a line from The Princess Bride unless you want to be spouting quotes all day

I think that is sooooo true!

...yeah, didn't miss a single one. And I haven't seen it in a couple of years, as it happens.

You know, as it happens, Vizzini isn't all that smart.

One of my best ever gaming sessions involved my gamers pursuing three warriors, climbing up a huge cliff, and discovering that they were up against a tricked-out D&D version of Vizzini, Fezzik, and Inigo...

Inigo was incredibly skilled with the sword and got like four attacks per round, plus had a really high dex.

Fezzik threw boulders at them for a while, spoke in rhymes, and then proceeded to punch the group's toughest warrior in the face.

Vizzini had many wizard spells and he'd studied them and prepped to hit them at their weak points, but spent a little too much time showing off how smart he was and how dumb they were. They were able to get him talking, and then catch him monologuing! But he got his revenge by activating a lightning strike that took out several characters and killed the cleric rather spectacularly. (If you're carrying a bag containing half a dozen "lightning seeds" and you roll a one on your save.....)

And once they'd defeated the baddies, they literally scraped up what was left of the cleric, found Miracle Max, and got him resurrected!

Yup. Got 'em all.

One of the best movies of All Time. Period.
