today’s is from the Princess Bride fb page :
In honor of #NationalHorseDay, we’d like to tell you about a scene that never made it into The Princess Bride. Director Rob Reiner, had an idea where at the end of the movie, after the grandson is left alone, he looks out the window to see the four white horses floating in the air with Westley, Buttercup, Inigo and Fezzik riding them. Of course there was no way for Fezzik to actually sit on a horse being nearly five hundred pounds himself. So they attempted to make him look like he was riding by lowering him on a pulley system. Andre, being a bit nervous, drank 8 bottles of wine that morning for liquid courage, so the director found himself watching a drunken giant attempt to be lowered onto a horse while waving, “Hi boss!”. We think it was a win for everyone, especially the horse, when they abandoned this idea.
now i wanna see bob pound 8 bottles of wine and try to straddle a horse 😉
