The Princess Bride

In the king's palace, Inigo battles four of Count Rugen's henchmen.

He stabs all four of them, yet there is not a drop of blood on his sword.

Later, while battling Count Rugen, his sword suddenly has a lot of blood on it, but this is before he has stabbed Rugen.

Meanwhile, Rugen's sword has blood on it from stabbing Inigo, until it all disappears in one shot, and he's fighting with a clean sword.

The car at the head of the bed moves.

Also the toys including _Captain America (1979) (TV)_ (qv) and Masters of the Universe figures move.

The state of the Grandson's peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Fezzik obviously being pulled up the cliff by a wire.

When duelling, Inigo and the Man In Black sometimes have two shadows.

The dust on the Man In Black's clothes shifts constantly throughout the duel with Inigo.

When the Man-in-Black knocks Fezzik out and is rolling him over, there's a large rock in the way.

At the end of the shot, the rock has moved over to allow room for Fezzik's head.

Inigo confronts Count Rugen and four attackers while Fezzik holds the man in black.

Inigo kills the four attackers and chases Rugen.

Whan Fezzik returns to find the man in black after breaking the door down for Inigo, the bodies of the four attackers are no longer in the same position that they were when Inigo killed them.

In the sword fight between Man in Black and Inigo, when MIB throws his sword down and then proceeds into his flip from the "horizontal bar" onto the ground level, he lands a good five feet from the thrown sword.

In the next cut, he reaches a foot away to grab the sword's handle.

While the Man in Black is on Fezzik's back during their fight, one of Fezzik's lines is heard while his lips aren't moving at all.

When Fezzik leans Westley on the castle wall, the wall moves.

When Westley, Inigo and Fezzik storm the gate guarded by 60 men, Fezzik is set on fire.

But in multiple shots where he is far away, you can tell it's a dummy.

On the castle wall when Fezzik and Inigo give Westley the miracle pill, Westley's right hand is by his side in some shots and resting on his chest in others.

On the castle wall, Inigo says "I'll say" without moving his lips.

A "He-Man" figure by the grandson's headboard is standing and lying down in different shots.

Obvious stunt rider for Fezzik in the final scene.

Count Rugen hits Westley on the left side of his head, towards the middle, to knock him out before sending him to the Pit of Despair.

In the Pit, the bump on his head is on the right side of his forehead, but this might be from his fall.

When Inigo, Vizzini, and Fezzik kidnap Buttercup in the woods, Inigo looks like a cardboard cut-out, but in fact can be seen to blink.

He's apparently just standing very still.

In the battle of wits scene, the knife that is near the three apples moves in different shots.

During the battle of wits, the blood on Buttercup's neck disappears and reappears between shots.

Buttercup's hair and shadows on her face during the match of wits.

When Fezzik is being suited up to climb the Cliffs of Insanity the front of the boat gets caught on a rock revealing that it is not made of wood.

Clear landing pad in the first fight scene when they jump off the rock.

The landing is elevated and one can see the rubber mat ripple as they land.

The pad can also be seen when Inigo and Fezzik walk to the edge to look down at Westley climbing up.

When Westley is fighting the ROUS, you can see a techie by the tree step in and out of the picture.

When Inigo is being nursed back to health by Fezzik his wet hair changes drastically between shots.

Obvious stunt performers (one with a mustache) when Buttercup pushes Westley down the hill, and then follows him down.

In the Pit of Despair, Humperdinck stands beside Westley as he lies on the table before The Machine.

The dual-ended hose on the suction cups strapped to Westley's chest are facing forwards, away from his shoulder.

But in the next shot, when Humperdinck talks to Westley, the hoses are facing backwards, with the hoses facing his shoulder.

In the final scene, in the close up of the grandfather saying, "As you wish," the wall color is different from the color of the wall in the wide shot.

This is because the close-up was a pickup shot done well after the original scene was shot.

During the fight with the ROUS in the fire swamp, when the ROUS attacks Buttercup and bites her dress, you can see the silhouette of a crew member's hand holding the dress in the ROUS's teeth.

Westley's mustache changes throughout the film, sometimes it is uneven, sometimes it's longer on the sides than at other times.

When Westley is wrestling the R.

in the fire swamp, the tube which shoots the blast of fire is clearly visible just before the R.

is set ablaze.

When Montoya and Westley fight the rope is wrapped 4 times around the rock and comes off the near side.

When Humperdinck gets there the rope is around twice and comes off the back.

Count Rugen is kicked after being stabbed by Inigo.

He falls back against one of the dining hall tables, and his sword slides out of his hand.

In the next shot however, just before he hits the ground, he is holding the sword again.

When Westley fights Inigo, Fezzik, and Vizzini and when he runs off with Buttercup, he is clearly wearing gloves.

When he is pushed down the hill we see his mask and bandana come off and when we see his hands again his gloves have disappeared and he is without them for the rest of the film.

On the castle wall, Westley (still barely mobile) shifts his head to face Fezzik and his head leans to his left.

Cut to close-up and Westley's head rests against the wall and leans to his right.

When the camera shows Westley screaming in pain on the Table, you can see modern silver fillings in several of his molars.

After Buttercup pushes Westley down the hill, she throws herself down after him.

Towards the bottom, her sash falls off and she's left laying on the ground.

However, when Westley goes to speak to her, she is wearing the sash around her waist once more.

When Westley is being tortured in the Pit of Despair, suction cups are attached to his chest.

When Westley is rescued later, the petechiae/bruises from these suction cups are only on his arms.

When the albino is cleaning Westley's shoulder in the pit of despair, Westley's shoulder is in various states of bloodiness.

Buttercup is about to be attacked by eels at least a few yards away from the ship she escaped from.

The movie switches to The Grandfather and The Grandson.

When the movie returns to Buttercup, she is yanked out of the water by Fezzik, even though she was nowhere near the ship just seconds earlier.

When Inigo meets Count Rugen for the first time, it is just after Humperdinck and Buttercup's wedding, which is at night.

Yet a window behind Count Rugen clearly shows it to be day.

When Buttercup is talking to the Man in Black on the hill, some obviously modern houses are visible in the valley behind her.

When Fezzik is climbing the Cliffs of Insanity, on the long shots it is obvious that he is carrying dummies on his body instead of Inigo, Vizzini and Buttercup.

When Wesley is fighting the ROUS, he punches one in the head and then you see the ROUS's hands pull the headpiece back on and straighten.

Vizzini mentions Australia's convict colonies during the movie.

This may seem anachronistic since the movie has a medieval setting, but this story is fantasy not history.

In fact, its being told as a fairy tale from a grandfather to his grandson.

In the novel, this was just one of many (intentionally contradictory) clues about when the story takes place.

In the opening scene, the camera is behind Grandpa, looking over his shoulder, when he pulls out his glasses out, the book is open.

When the camera is in front of him as he puts his glasses on, the book is closed.

Grandfather is wearing his tie backwards, with the small end in front and the big end in back, with the back side of the big end showing.

Prince Humperdinck correctly identifies the iocane powder after smelling it, even though the Man in Black had earlier described iocane as "odorless".

However, the fact that it is odorless is likely why he "bets his life on it" to be iocane powder.

When Fezzik carries Buttercup aboard the ship, he is clearly carrying a dummy.

When Buttercup pushes Westley down the hill and she falls down after him, when they both come to a stop Buttercup ends up several feet farther down the hill then Westley.

The movie then cuts to a scene of Humperdinck, then back to Buttercup and Westley.

However, they are now shown to be right next to each other.

Princess Buttercup's dress doesn't have scorch marks after it is burned in the Swamp of Fires.

Vizzini leaves his boat docked at the base of the rope before climbing, yet when the Man in Black arrives 2 minutes later, the boat is no longer there.

When the princess falls down in the lightning sandpit, leaves are in the sand left after she has gone under.

In the next shot when Westley is about to follow her, the leaves are gone.

When Inigo jumps against the door to get at Rugen, the whole wall moves.

Clearly it isn't a real stone castle wall.

This is a simple fantastic family film, that follows the formulaic knight in shining armor saving the damsel in distress. Sure a bit more depth in the plot or if it added more materials from the book this is based on.

Here we have what is perhaps the perfect family film. It is the story of pirates, giants, killer eels, wars, fencing, revenge and true love.

This is one of those films that is just the right amounts of charming, funny, absurd and heartwarming to keep you entertained and smiling throughout its brief 90 minute runtime. Oh and it has Peter Falk in it.

Fun movie. Light.

The Princess Bride begins with a grandfather (Peter Falk) reading a story to his young grandson (Peter Savage) in modern time (presumably 1987, when the movie was released). A young woman, Buttercup (Robin Wright) and the farm-hand, Wesley (Cary Elwes) are in love, although they deny it.

When I first saw this movie years back, the kind of humor that was used help the movie just stick in your mind forever. Its a fable who's characters seemingly know it's fable taste yet help move the plot along with great acting in a great script.

I really did not see the appeal in this film - maybe it's because I first watched at the age of 19 rather than a lot younger. I didn't think there was much of a plot, and there seemed to be no relationship ever forming between the two lovers.

Three things make this movie awesome: 1- The story is just the way a comedy should be. Not too complex to make it more drama than comedy and not too silly to be annoying.

I knew I wouldn't get away without mentioning this classic. Seeing this film for the umpteenth time, I couldn't help but continue to marvel at all the artistic prowess given to make this film.
