In Rob Reiner's beloved 1987 romantic fantasy film "The Princess Bride," the good-hearted kidnapper Inigo Monotya (Mandy Patinkin) is ordered by his boss Vizzini (Wallace Shawn) to dispatch a mysterious Man in Black (Cary Elwes) who has been following them up the Cliffs of Insanity. Inigo is a masterful swordsman, and rarely gets to ply his skills, so he immediately becomes itchy, eager for the oncoming fight. Because he is so polite, Inigo allows the Man in Black to sit and rest for a few moments before attacking, and the two have an amusingly casual conversation about Inigo's motivations and how he got his sword. "You seem a decent fellow," Inigo says, "I hate to kill you."
"You seem a decent fellow," the Man in Black replies, "I hate to die."
They then begin. The fight choreography is astounding. Inigo was not just blowing smoke.
