Anyone up for a game of The Princess Bride trivia?

Here’s a few to start things rolling:

-What three real places were mentioned in the movie?

-How many times does Inigo Montoya say his signature line?

-What is the name of Inigo’s father?
Have fun . . .

2

The Princess Bride the book, or The Princess Bride the movie? :smiley: Love 'em both.

3

Um, sheesh, I haven’t seen the movie in eons.

Real places: Well, that guy says he’s a Sicilian, so that counts. And they mention Florin-something. Florence? Nah, I wouldn’t be that lucky. And, uh, they mention, uhm, my pants.

Signature line: More times than I can remember. Um, seven?

Father’s name: Domingo Montoya.

5

Could you clarify that remark?

6

Sicily, America, Australia

too damned many. 8?

Domingo

7

Greenland. Fezzik is from there.
Also, “never fight a land war in Asia”.
Also, “the real Dread Pirate Roberts is retired and living in Patagonia”.
Plus the Sicilian thing.

8

Actually, the son’s name was Juan Pablo. “My name is Juan Pablo Montoya. You have wrecked my race car. Prepare to die!”

**the place question **
Originally I had Spain (Inigo’s a “Spaniard”), Asia and Australia. Ino is correct with Sicily, and Laughing Lagomorph is correct with Greenland. I don’t know about America, was it the USA team in the video game kid was playing? Is Patagonia a real place?

** Inigo’s father **
Ino got it. I think ** buh-buh-buh-BACON!!** had too much buh-buh-bacon this morning.

No secure answers yet on “My name is . . [etc.]”

10

America is mentioned as where Westley is off to to seek his fortune.

11

Patagonia is indeed a real place. It’s a region in the Andes, I think. Not a country or anything, though.

12

Oh yeah? Where do you think Patagonian Cavies come from, Nr. Hotshot?

13

There is also a Lake Patagonia in Arizona.

  1. Depends on what you decide to include. Do you include Sicily because Vizzini says “never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!” (Being part Sicilian, I’ve always liked that line ;).) I am not so sure. If you don’t include those sorts of things then: Australia, Greenland, Asia, and probably a few more.

2)Domingo Montoya. Easy.

  1. Have to watch it again to be sure, but I should remind everyone that Inigo says his line when he and Westley wait for Westley to catch his breath. (IIRC, I may be remembering this from the book.)

DynoSaur, is Westley going to America mentioned in the movie? Or does he just ‘go off to seek his fortune’? I can’t remember.

Here are my Trivia Questions:

  1. Why does Fezzik lose his fight with Westley? (He explains it in the movie when Westley has his arms around his neck. It is easy for those who have read the book, but Andre the Giant, bless his soul, is kind of hard to understand. Could you hold off answering this one if you’ve read the book? It is too easy then.)

  2. Can you name [SORTA SPOILER]

the previous Dread Pirate Roberts’s? I’ll give you the first: The Dread Pirate Roberts.

[/END SPOILER]

  1. What are the various fencing styles that Inigo and Westley mention? I believe there are four mentioned. (Please correct me if I am wrong).
15

-How many times does Inigo Montoya say his signature line?

Six times. Once when explaining his quest to the Man in Black, once to Count Rugen before he runs away, and four times after he is wounded.

When Westley, Inigo, and Fezzik are preparing to break into the castle, what does Inigo list as their liabilities and assets?

Patagonia is the eastern part of Argentina.

16

Mind you, I’m having to go from memory, since my copy is stuck in the shuffle as we rearrange my house…but I’ll take a shot.

Isn’t Fezzik Turkish? (Which indirectly would put a vote for Turkey in, too.) The whole opening chapter talks about how big babies in Turkey are.

Scotland (didn’t Inigo go there to train with MacPherson?)
All the places that Fezzik went to wrestle where the crowds just went BOO (there was a whole list of 'em.)

Wasn’t Inigo’s father’s name Diego?

17

Ack, posted that before I saw yours, sjc. I’ll retract the Diego part. <whine> I want my boooook!

18

Sorry for the multitude of posts, everyone. I didn’t mean THE opening chapter, I meant the opening of the section where Fezzik’s background is discussed.

As far as fighting styles, I remember Agrippa, Thibeault and Sainct.

What was the name of the weaponmaker that Inigo’s father worked for and what city was he from?

19

I think we’re sticking to the movie Lionors. I don’t remember them talking that in depth about Inigo’s father in the movie.

sjc:
Why does Fezzik lose his fight with Westley?

Because Fezzik is used to fighting groups of men. You use different moves fighting 12 men than you do fighting only one.

Hey, Princess Bride fans! I just wanted to interrupt this thread so I can inform you that MGM will release The Princess Bride special edition on DVD this Tuesday! This one looks like it will be better than the standard version MGM put out a couple of years ago. This special edition will include, among other things, three documentaries, including one new one created for this DVD release, two commentaries by Rob Reiner and WIlliam Goldman, video footage shot by Cary Elwes (Westley) during production, Dolby 5.1 stereo sound, and an anamorphic widescreen transfer.

I’ve just finished reading the book (which I’ve never read before), and am looking forward to seeing the film (which I’ve never seen before). If you want it, and you don’t have it, buy it!
