    Can't see Mandy Patinkin in anything (even episodes of Criminal Minds) without thinking it...

    Same here. I had a hard time taking him seriously in Dead Like Me (which was an awesome show that I wish hadn't been canceled).

    In my top 5 greatest movies ever!


    Inigo Montoya: My father was slaughtered by a six-fingered man. He was a great swordmaker, my father. When the six-fingered man appeared and requested a special sword. My father took the job. He slaved a year before it was done.

    [Shows the Man in Black the sword]

    Man in Black: I've never seen its equal.
    Inigo Montoya: The six-fingered man returned and demanded it, but at one tenth his promised price, my father refused. Without a word, the six-fingered man slashed him through the heart. I loved my father. So naturally, I challenged his murderer to a duel. I failed. The six-fingered man left me alive, but he gave me these.

    [strokes the scars on his cheeks]

    Man in Black: How old were you?
    Inigo Montoya: I was eleven years old. And when I was strong enough, I dedicated my life to the study of fencing. So the next time we meet, I will not fail. I will go up to the six-fingered man and say, "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

    I think this is one of the GREATEST scenes in cinema, not for the upcoming swordfight, and not for the childhood story, but for the characterization of both men. Inigo actually HANDS HIS SWORD OVER to his rival, who he has to figure is there to try to kill him.

    The honor that they both display there is something I've rarely seen displayed in movie characters.

    "You seem a decent fellow... I hate to die," indeed!

    Inigo Montoya: You are wonderful.
    Man in Black: Thank you; I've worked hard to become so.
    Inigo Montoya: I admit it, you are better than I am.
    Man in Black: Then why are you smiling?
    Inigo Montoya: Because I know something you don't know.
    Man in Black: And what is that?
    Inigo Montoya: I... am not left-handed.
    [Moves his sword to his right hand and gains an advantage]
    Man in Black: You are amazing.
    Inigo Montoya: I ought to be, after 20 years.
    Man in Black: Oh, there's something I ought to tell you.
    Inigo Montoya: Tell me.
    Man in Black: I'm not left-handed either.
    [Moves his sword to his right hand and regains his advantage]

    I love this fight scene!!

    You're so right about the translation - they did an AWESOME job! Athough I think William Goldman is actually a screen writer, so it was probably intended to be a movie from the start? (I something along those lines years ago, anyway) :D

    Actually, this reminded me of another book/movie translation that I really thought was done exquisitely: Misery. And William Goldman did the screenplay for that one too! Hmmm....

    I really hope it is raining this afternoon so I can strap my daughter to the couch and make her watch it. She's only 4 but she HAS to love this movie as much as I do.

    If she doesn't will you throw her to the shrieking eels?

    So bow down to her if you want, bow to her. Bow to the queen of slime, the queen of filth, the queen of putrescence... Boo. Boo! Rubbish, filth, slime, muck... Boo! Boo!

    BOOOOO!

    Ahhh, you beat me to it! :flowerforyou:

    I have a tshirt with Fezzig on it and it reads "I'm on the Brute Squad". It is too big for me now, but I will wear it forever!

    I agree...the charater development in this movie is fantastic. I love this scene.
