ThePrincessBride's Mandy Patinkin emotionally celebrates the film's 35th anniversary, reflecting on one particular moment from the production in a series of sweet social media posts.
The Princess Bride's Inigo Montoya actor, Mandy Patinkin, recently celebrated the movie's 35th anniversary with an emotional post. The fantasy adventure film, directed by Rob Reiner and based on William Goldman's 1973 novel of the same name, is often considered among the best works of the 1980s, and has built a cult following in the years since its release.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The character of Inigo Montoya was hired to kidnap and kill Princess Buttercup before a duel with Westley landed him in the Thieves' Forest. Eventually aiding in saving Westley's life, Montoya assisted in his efforts to rescue the princess, thus allowing him the opportunity to get revenge against his father's murderer, Count Rugen.
"And then the greatest moment of memory, when all was said and done, and we’d gotten all the angles and we shot the fight from a million different angles, Rob was happy, and we thought we were finished. [We] did the last moments and he said, 'Listen, guys, are you okay if we put two cameras up in the ceiling, and you run the whole fight all in one? Not pieces, but the whole thing all together?' And we were like two little kids going, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, we’re okay.
The Princess Bride's Legacy Explained The Princess Bride was not regarded as a box office success upon its initial release in 1987, but it later gained longevity through home viewing. Studios have expressed interest in remaking or rebooting The Princess Bride for years, though much of the original cast and crew appear against the idea, and while discussions surrounding a potential sequel have been made, nothing has ever come to fruition.
Patinkin's thoughts on making The Princess Bride seem to reflect those of his fellow cast members, with Elwes and Wright having fondly discussed their experiences in the past. The rise of streaming has likely contributed to its legacy as well, allowing new audiences to discover the story on their own. Fans of The Princess Bride and Patinkin's character will enjoy learning about the fun that was had behind-the-scenes, and may desire a re-watch in celebration of 35 years.
