The Princess Bride - Week 4
Back to Week 3 -- Go to Week 5
Minute 22
Film’s most famous speech
Promise from avenging son
Dad’s killer shall die
Searching twenty years
Unable to find the man
Who murdered father
Background story done
World’s greatest sword fight begins
Both are left-handed?
Minute 23
Such witty banter
Between the two great swordsmen
On rocky terrain
The Spaniard’s wry smile
Unbelievable reveal
He’s not left-handed!
Minute 24
The pirate’s secret
He is right-hand dominant
How the tides have turned
A sword switches hands
Inigo quickly disarmed
Has he met his match?
Minute 25
Jab, parry, and thrust
Constant clanging of metal
Back and forth they go
Metallic whirlwind
Inigo cannot weather
Completely disarmed
Merciful pirate
Does not kill adversary
Concussion instead
Minute 26
Victor races off
In search of distressed damsel
Vizzini amazed
One more challenger
A giant among boulders
Awaits the masked man
Fezzik questions way
Vizzini screams to use rocks
It’s unsportsmanlike
The giant prepares
The man in black rounds corner
A large stone shatters
Minute 27
No tricks, no weapons
Face off as God intended
Civilized people
Man in mask unsure
Hand to hand combat, deadly
Goes in for the hug
Very sweet giant
Won’t kill immediately
Encourages foe
Minute 28
Spry, quick, slippery
Man in black dodges punches
Goes for the choke hold
Giant questions mask
Was his foe burned by acid
Nope. Fashion statement
Giant is struggling
Unaccustomed to fighting
Only one person
Philanthropic man
Fighting gangs for charity
Uses many moves
Man in black prevails
Overpowers the giant
Who now lies sleeping
