Notes
Also Known As:
The Bridges' Bride (Philippines: English title)

Trivia: According to author William Goldman, when he was first trying to get the movie made in the 1970s, a then-unknown Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to play Fezzik, and he was strongly being considered because Goldman could never get his first choice, André the Giant, to read for the role. By the time the movie was made about 12 years later, Arnold was such a big star they could not afford him, Andre was cast after all and the two big men had gone on to become friends. (more)

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