Time signatures begin just before the MGM logo
00:00:40
Grandson is playing Hardball
Playing Hardball on a Commodore 64, loaded from a 5 1/4" floppy drive. I know from experience that his illness would have run its course before it finished loading.
The joystick is not plugged into anything
00:00:40 to 00:01:02
Shots of Grandson's room
Evidence a little boy lives here: He-Man figurines; strewn clothes; scary mask; posters of race car, motorcycle, jet, Refrigerator Perry, rockets, surfing, some freestyle motorcycle; baseball cap; two baseball bats; football; mangled Santa Claus artwork
00:01:16
Grandfather pinches Grandson's cheek
Child abuse
00:01:37
Hanging shirt visible between Grandson and Grandfather
How did this shirt get hung here? It's too high for the boy to reach and no mother would put away his clothes this way
00:01:53
"Has it got any sports in it?"
"Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge..."
Torture is a sport?
00:02:00
"...giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles"
True love is a game to some, and I know I'm supposed hate the game, not the playah, but I still think it's a sin
00:02:04
"Doesn't sound too bad. I'll try and stay awake."
Boy is a dick to Grandfather
00:02:15
"The Princess Bride, by S Morgenstern, Chapter One"
Reading/Narration
00:03:47
"Fetch me that pitcher".
Pitcher is right next to Buttercup
Buttercup is a dick to farm boys
00:04:06
In love at sunset
Westley has literally spoken only three words to Buttercup... but they're in love!
00:04:55
"Hear this now. I will always come for you"
Yeah, but that's not saying much for a guy.... Oh, wait...
00:09:07
"Do you want me to send you back to where you were? Unemployed? In Greenland?"
Vizzini is a dick to Greenland. Also, that's racist.
00:14:19
Fezzik begins climbing the rope up the Cliffs of Insanity
Is Andre really climbing the rope here? Because, Jesus, that is some impressive upper-body strength. And horrible rope burn.
00:15:35
Fezzik is pulling the group up over the edge of the cliff
Vizzini would be crushed under Fezzik's weight here
00:16:33
"Inconceivable!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means"
-1 for the most popular gag-quote in movie history
00:18:30
"No good. I've known too many Spaniards"
That's racist
00:20:31
"Without a word, the six-fingered man slashed him through the heart"
So, then how did Inigo get the sword? The six-fingered man demands the sword, kills Domingo over it, and scars Inigo for life... but then leaves the sword behind?
00:23:23
"I'm not left-handed either"
"I'm not left-handed either" cliche
00:23:47
Westley does an acrobatic flip
Westley clearly lands 2 or 3 feet away from his sword in this shot, but in the next, he is immediately beside it
00:26:22
"No tricks, no weapons; skill against skill alone"
-1 for sportsmanship. Pro wrestlers can be positive role models for our children!
00:31:32
"Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun"
The knife appears and disappears from the table several times in this scene
00:32:54
"...in studying, you must have learned that man is mortal"
I don't think studying is required to know that death awaits us all with nasty big pointy teeth
00:33:59
"Never get involved in a land war in Asia"
Unless you're the Mongols (cue pillaging clip)
00:34:22
"Who are you?"
I would say she should certainly recognise him by his voice, but he has mostly spoken only three words to her to this point, so maybe not
00:39:36
Westley embraces Buttercup
This scene does not contain a lap dance
00:40:20
"Skip on to the Fire Swamp. That sounded good"
The director said to Fred Savage, "Why don't you take a bite out of your sandwich so you look like even more of an asshole."
00:41:53
A flame spurt catches Buttercup's dress
This flame spurt is nowhere near her dress
00:43:20
"And then it happened"
Westley plays the pronoun game forcing Buttercup to ask what "it" is
00:50:24
"You have six fingers on your right hand. Someone was looking for you"
Is Count Rugen particularly sensitive about his sixth finger? Would he have any reason to worry about someone noticing? Certainly, he has no thought of Inigo, so why would he be concerned that someone was looking for him?
00:54:44
"Yes, you're very smart. Shut up"
-1 for saying what we'd all like to say to people who provide running commentary while we're still watching the film
00:57:14
"I've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder, and Guilder to frame for it. I'm swamped"
Why did Humperdinck follow Rugen all the way to the pit if he's too busy to go inside?
00:59:49
"Killers from Guilder are infiltrating the Thieves' Forest and plan to murder my bride on our wedding night"
The Thieves' Forest sounds like an excellent alternative place to build a summer home
01:14:31
"Bye bye boys!"
"Have fun storming the castle!"
"Think it'll work?"
"It would take a miracle"
"Buh-bye!"
-1 for another most popular gag-quote in movie history
01:22:00
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die"
-1 for the greatest catch-phrase in movie history
01:23:58
Count Rugen throws a knife at Inigo
The knife just hit him straight in the belly, yet there is already blood on his shirt and dripping over his belt
01:25:27
"Gently!"
This scene does not contain a lap dance
01:28:17
"I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand, you warthog-faced buffoon"
-1 for the greatest insult in movie history
01:30:20
Inigo enters the room.
"Where's Fezzik?"
Shouldn't Buttercup be alarmed here? She doesn't know Westley has teamed up with Inigo and Fezzik, and the last time she saw him, he was helping to kidnap her
01:31:54
Fezzik trails riding the last horse, an obvious weight on its back
Animal cruelty
