Loved this sword fight scene too.“Reiner thinks this film is “the only time in movies where the principal actors are in every single shot where swordplay is involved.” While old movies with Errol Flynn used stunt doubles and experts during swordplay, Mandy Patinkin and Cary Elwes did all their own fencing, both left and right-handed. Stuntmen were used only for the flips. Patinkin studied eight months, Elwes, five or six, with every spare moment on set spent with their trainers. All the swordplay was shot at the end of filming; it took ten days to shoot the entire sequence from the moment Patinkin pulls up Elwes from the rope. As described in the script by Goldman, “What you’re about to see (between Westley and Montoya) is the second best sword-fighting sequence on film. The first comes later.” Reiner, however, felt the first sequence was technically the best, with the second (between Patinkin and Christopher Guest) being the more emotional scene. "

Never get involved in a land war in Asia. And, never go against a spatula when death is on the line.

Shouldn’t that be Winky’s catchphrase, over in Brewster Rockit?
