TIL that Billy Crystal’s character, Miracle Max, in the Princess Bride was so funny that it nearly stopped the production of the movie. One actor bruised a rib from clenching to try not to laugh.

Fun fact in addition: Cary Elwes wasn’t allowed to be part of that scene because he kept laughing. The Westley on the table was dummy.

This is AFTER he broke a toe riding Andre the Giant’s ATV, and got concussed when he and Christopher Guest tried to make the scene where Count Rugen knocks Wesley out more convincing.

Mandy Patinkin busted the rib trying not to laugh, and also accidentally stabbed Guest during their fight scene. 

About the only person who didn’t get some form of overenthusiasm-induced injury or illness during filming was Robin Wright, who had to repeatedly get her dress burnt up in the fire swamp scene because Goldman ruined one of the takes by screaming “Oh my god, she’s on fire!”

i swear the princess bride movie was just a bunch of cast and crew deciding to dick around and film it.

it was Jackass before Jackass

The guy in the giant rodent costume got arrested on his way to the set and they had to delay production to go bail him out

In every scene with Andre the Giant physically lifting or holding someone the actor he was supporting had to be supported separately because Andre couldn’t actually lift or carry them due to back problems.

When filming the boat scenes, they used a swimming pool that had a deep dip that the boat was floating over. The director, while prepping the scene, slipped, and his clothing and boots filled with water, dragging him down under the boat. He nearly drowned, but was pulled to safety by one of the crew members who noticed the bubbles, since they were doing this at night and thus nobody could see him under the water.
