Princess Bride - Battle of Wits

[Lizimille]

And I choose ... What in the world can that be!

Can't get more obvious than that.

[Silent0Sacrifice]

....why does the man in black look like zorro? I remember when i was younger i saw this movie and thought it was Zorro

[Ceolteor]

They don't make em like this anymore.

[FLAGENHAW]

you're just stalling now

[RAP511]

Where was I?

Australia.

[Boweavel]

hate to be a spoil sport, cause i love this movie too.. but just had a thought to myself.. Australia didnt exist at the 'time' this movie is set in :P

[cardinalrefuge]

How would you build an immunity to the poison? To build an immunity, you'd have to drink it first. But if you drink it, then you die, offering you no more chances to build such an immunity. Twisted logic. o.O

[eav2533]

Land war in Asia, hehe

[tofubeak]

ha ha ha ha! ha ha ha ha! ha ha ha ::thud;:

[ithurtzmister]

greatest movie of all time.

[Movieman058]

"You ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?"

"Yes"

"Morons!"

[CathrynDuncan835]

this one is a great movie i definitely encourage everyone i know to watch this. awesome! good thing I can watch it for free in high definition quality at newWATCHmovies{dot}com.

[doomedelk]

never get involvled in a land war in asia!!

[iconsting2009]

anybody wanna penut LOL

[xXSweetDeathXx1]

LMAO this is not what goes through a poker players mind this is what goes through a true RTS players mind, those starcraft players are always in a battle of wits

[seemonkeydomonkey]

If I was Wesley, I tell him to inhale a poison that is airborn. xD

[SayomiSama]

"Truly you have a dizzying intellect."

LOL.

[GellyWolf]

Doesn't the nearly bald guy voice Rex in Toy-Story? xD

[stevensw]

he could have put it in both glasses and declined to drink the one he had

[stevensw]

aristotle was a moron, he set civilization back 1000 years, he's done more damage to human kind than hitler or anyone else

[Colddeed]

For all his supposed intellect, it never even occurred to Vizzini that both cups might be poisoned.

Some Genius.

[Colddeed]

For all his supposed "wisdom", it never even occurred to Vizzini that both the cups were poisoned.

Some genius.

[tippystips]

He didn't specify that only one if the cups had poison. He clearly asked "where is the poison?" and nothing more.

[sheltonyoung]

"Have you ever heard of Plato, Socrates, Aristotle?" (Yes) Morons. XD.  It never gets old.

[ajb8487]

If I was Vizzini, I would've dumped my goblet out when Wesley had his back turned. Then he could've faked being dead and stabbed Wesley in the back. This shows I've seen this movie way too many times...

[Maladictneedscoffee]

this movie is so simple and brilliant!

[gibsondg335]

it would have been great if he said "neither one were poisoned.  He was dead the moment he inhaled the powder."

[ZannonZap]

"truly you have a dizzying intellect" omg lol!! i LOVE westley!!!

bot cups were poisened go westly whoot! XD

AH HA HA AH HA HA AH HA- *falls over* lol

[taleisyn]

*quotes this movie at least once or twice a day*

[MrMariofan234]

say what?

[ban3795]

"Where was I?"

"Australia."

"Oh yes, Australia!"

[LongJnSilver]

Exthellent! Thuper imitaion... but... juth a little more lithp might have been in order. : )

[sunkissedmoonlite163]

HAHAHA!

HAHAHA!

HAHAH--

[fanpire715]

Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia," but only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! [laughs maniacally, then falls over dead]

[rhettrongun]

Plato, Socrates, Aristotle?... Morons! haha, such a great movie.

[Amzi1010]

"Truely you have a dizzying interlect."

LOL

[jaikwillis]

Vizzini may be an idiot but he's clearly smarter than the Republicans "never get involved in a land war in Asia"

[daveebella09]

wish i have all the time watching movies tommy..hahahha not just clips!! lol

[RockinBabyRo]

Should have got the end, where Wes describes how he survived.

[DefyGravity464]

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

AHAHAHA---

*thud*"

[GoldenPeaceTree]

Ever heard of Plato? Aristotle? Socrates?

Yes.

Morons.

[hanashira]

I <3 WIFOM

[Vanessabellify]

One of my favorites! Love it!

[nevermoreraven777]

BEST CLIP! XDDD

[ThSeriousGuy]

Just noticed calls them glasses but I'm pretty sure they're metal goblets :P

[Amzi1010]

yea i agree

[EtherealDark]

This is a good example of what happens in the mind of a poker player...

[justcallmeSven]

Or maybe Light or L from the anime "Death Note."

[mrfivegold]

A true master of wits never plays a game with such a high stake unless his victory is curtain. Then again in a way the game was in itself false because the rules strictly said Vizzini had to choose a cup. However if he did deduce that both were poisoned he couldn't win following the rules of the game.

Then again he would be the winner by default by using his cunning nature to deduce where that the game was a setup. So in the end the smartest and better looking of the two survived.

[balentine4u]

True, but was thinking that only ONE cup was poisoned.

[Rawk4Life]

Wesley said both were poisioned, and that he spent a few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.

[balentine4u]

Vizzini was only thinking that just one cup was poisoned. I don't think it would have crossed his little mind that someone would want to build up an immunity to a deadly poison.

[banglefaar]

@mrfivegold

The problem was that Vizzini was full of himself. He said 'Inconceivable' without even understanding the meaning. So, he was just a moron that made others think he knew what was going on.

It's why he died :P

[ZannonZap]

he is better looking *heart eyes*

[Linkster2o]

Curtain?

[starstruck13]

hahaha yes... but... I don't think victory is ever "curtain." ;)

[gurkengable]

My absolute favorite movie

"YOU'D LIKE TO THINK THAT WOULDN'T YOU!"

[Yomioka]

I love this movie.

[reignoffire88]

i can repeat this scene word for word when something even closely related. seen this movie way too many times :|

[TheDarkelf45]

i love it how he dies, he is just like hahahaha eeeeh

[Eastmanarium]

One of the best from the 80s.

[FOOSAG]

Inconceivable!!!!!

[dingaling24]

you keep saying that word. i don't think it means what you think it means.

[LucarioMaster25]

Never go in against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line!!! Aha haha!! Hahahahahahahahaha------------­!

[DeathShamans]

I think instead of the woman, they should put the MOTHER EARTH... same thing.

[kungfurabbits]

In a way Vizzini was right about where the poison is. He kept saying he could not choose the wine in front him and that he could not choose the wine in front of Westley as well.

[TaeKwonDohBoy]

Men in masks are not to be trusted.

[Zachisback88]

this is a great movie

[DancingDrea1707]

why was there already wine out? wat was vizzini planning to do with the princess? i have to study this for an english assignment though me and my friends didnt mind we lovee westley:)

[imagifyer]

"never get involved in a landwar in asia"

aply that to the game risk and its soooooo true

[Afrothunder161]

Asia gets the most points, It is key to get involved and win a land war in asia to win the game.

[RAP511]

Where was I?

Australia.

Oh yes.

[uuumdm]

lol What WOULD have been smart is if the Sicilian would have used the distraction to dump the wine out of his glass and then pretend to drink.

[MonkeyKing300100]

well if he had of dumbed his drink and it was the one with poison then he would of died when wesley killed him

[XDiamondSnowX]

ahahaha-thump*

[RPGFreak90]

He died laughing!!!!!!!Ahhahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!­!!!!

[Berriiblue]

my marine biology teacher would ALWAYS play this scene to the class at least once a month

[almondtealeaf2]

One of my favorite fantasy movies of all time!

[nognilk]

The most classic blunder is

"never get involved in a land war in Russia"

[rtydhg4q]

"Never get involved in a land war in Asia" is allegedly advice that General MacArthur gave to JFK prior to the US jumping into Vietnam. Unfortunately, Bush was probably neither aware of the alleged advice, nor that Afghanistan is also in Asia.

[SoulTenor]

@rtydhg4q I think it stems from Napoleon's loss to Russia after he dragged his troops to Siberia in the middle of winter.

[TheLadyYuki]

I absolutely love how he just falls over sideways. xD

[CrimeReport]

Australia. Dingos.

[BurtonGirl64]

lol

[dan06969]

He poisoned both because he had spent years developing an immunity to iocaine powder.

[Gravenell]

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia. hahaha

Love this film!

Westley reminds me a little of Johnny Depp lol

[AngelWivABentHalo]

I winder if Johnny ever watched it. Ohh, the only difference is one's got a gorgeous british accent, and one's got a charmer American one :)

[Gilesiskool]

all this time it was your own goblet that was poisoned? They were both poisoned, ive spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.

[LadybugsJandM]

I LOVE this movie!!!

[PockyLover56]

INCONCEIVABLE!

[DrPeppur]

Lol, I loved this part.

[jprc03]

Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?

Morons!

[Kokii87]

Aristoteles... /facepalm.

[turtlesheep333]

Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

:D

[Denthedragon]

Wait till I Get going!.....where was I?

[Doddlebop4]

Austrailia

[DigiSim]

Australia.

[lonelygnome1]

I never get tired of watching this scene.

[TaintedMustard]

Yeah, uh, that's because Vizzini isn't smart. At all. He just thinks he is.

[faceofpo]

Wait till I get going!

[horsefan48]

you guessed wrong. man hes hott

[CollegeHumorRocks]

Are you done yet?

Not remotley!! (spelling, I know)

[FishyBirdMLS]

SO GOOD!!

hahaha!

[prettylittlepickle]

Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?

Morons.

always makes me laugh!! lol

[Lovecraft688]

Wally Shawn is a genius !

[DJAntonetti]

Put it this way have you ever heard of PlaTO, Aristotle...SOCrates..... yes......morons.. XD hahaha

[sourgirl0027]

he cracks me up!

[mynameistofu4]

I remember I was always fascinated by this scene when I was little, no matter how many times I watched it. XD And I still am. ^^

Love this movie!! <33

[blazeoffuegon]

I love it how he keels over right in the middle of laughing!

[ZPlasmodium]

WHAT IN THE WORLD COULD THAT BE?!

Classic.

[totalled44321]

this is such a grat movie

!!

[SomeOldGeezer]

He sniffed it at the beginning.

[nyerguds]

That's not it. When Buttercup exclaims that he poisoned his own cup, he dryly remarks he poisoned both, but he "spent the last year building up an immunity for iocane poison" :P

[narutouzamaki9000]

It would have been great if westley said " The poison was in neither he was dead the moment he inhaled the powder"

[nyerguds]

Not really. Westley simply didn't want Vizzini to ever know he was fooled.

[plasmaneon]

Lol that part is always great putting in both glasses

[Mr2xT]

Because Westley poisoned both the cups

[bulletproofman323]

Burtrum!!!!

Stewie griffin's brother

[foodlovingpig]

This is one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen in any movie in my entire life. Completely priceless.

[iLuvtiGga08]

this movie is awesomely hilar

[OtaconGamer777]

At least he died with a smile. XD X_X

[ShinobiSasukeUchiha]

I've always wondered....Buttercup's mouth isn't gagged, so how come Goldman never had her speak? o.o

[Doublex776]

remember how westley had him smell a little bit of iocane before they started? This would have been a hilarious conclusion!

[Hsrunner9]

4:10 I love his face! XD It is so hilarious!!!

[dearhouse]

for the princess? ...to the DEATH??? ...then I accept!

[rraeoner]

do you have the strength battle?

[darthvatrayen]

This is possibly one of the greatest movies ever made. Right up there with Star Wars and The Matrix. XD

[patmathis]

While great, a better conclusion to the scene would of been, "There was never any poison in either goblet. Iokane is an inhalant."

[Rikushix]

"It was really anthrax."

[meggiemufin]

"What you do not smell is icoane powder." "...we find out who is right, and who is dead." XD I love the exquisite phrasing in this entire movie! One of the best movies ever made.

[capuchainhuman]

This, is not the best scene, but one of the greatest move scenes of al times! I love it!!!

=)

[hmmmmm12]

it's rex from toy story!

[AMPoverlord]

dwai

[Rawk4Life]

I know this is an epic scene, but did anyone besides me notice when the wine was poured? Vizzini literally only poured about an ounce into Wesley's goblet and filled his goblet to the brim, yet Wesley's goblet was also full. Did one of the producers pre-fill Wesley's glass?

[wadyano]

they shoot the scene several times and cut and splice peices from different takes

[capuchainhuman]

If you notice, just at the beggining, vizzini drinks from his glass, implying that each glass was already full. so vizzini only had to fill weasley's a little bit, but his he had to fill more.

[darthvatrayen]

Wesley must have equalled the amount of wine behind his back too. So he could have more to drink. Which Viceeni (or h/e you spell it) should have noticed it but he didnt. Poor VIceeni...

[ballchinboy18]

WIFOM

[goodgonered]

rofl one of my favorite scenes!

[KingNogard]

AHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

(Dies)

*Cough* *Cough*

Iii...

Iiin.....

Inconcievable...

Rofl love this film

[rnbgirlie]

they shouldve added him saying inconcievable at the end. that wudve made it even better. =)

[nozar7]

Actually he pulled a smart move. Obviously Wesley would not drink the bottle he knew was poisoned. If he guesses corretly they are still at an empass. By switching goblets he turned the tables on him. Too bad they were both poisoned:)

[Rawk4Life]

I think you're confusing it a little. The wine bottle itself was not poisoned. Only the glasses which the wine was poured into were poisoned with the iocane powder.

[34mea12]

BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[amylpav22]

"You're trying to kidnap what I've rightfully stolen."

One of the funniest scenes in the movie. Hands down.

[tgrunau]

"Where was I?"

"Australia"

HA!

[MrsMaddieM]

Inconceivable !!! LOL, love this movie !!!

[OtakuD50]

I like how at one point Vizzini correctly guesses that Westley put the poison in his own goblet "counting on his own strength to save him."

[Benniboy93]

lol that has gotta be the most realistic death ive ever seen XD

its like hes been hooked around the neck and pulled sideways :L

[pheebz4eva]

rofl this movie is hilarious!

[sakunjawindninja]

funny he had something there but he still choose wrong he clearly couldnt choose the cup infront of him and westy

[joshuamarius]

"Let me put it this way, have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates"? Morons!

LMAO!!!!

[albietheferret]

I know, that guy needed to be killed.

[MAegcuru]

it was fair, welsey poisoned both cups, he just never siad that one cup was poisoned and if vnni was as samrt as he said, he would of taken all the possilbites

[katiexkatashtrophe]

love it. and wesley had his built up imunity to it too. which makes everything better.

[HerboftheSerb]

"There's nothing to explain, you're trying to kidnap what I've rightfully stolen"

lol I didn't know there was an Audio Preview!

[BlackHallow55]

HA HA HA AH HA HA HA HAA!

(PLOP!)

lol

[pinkcottoncandy92]

great movie!

[scisam76]

cescelians arent exactly as smart as they want to be :p.

[Crymson1]

Sicilians.

[xjrmafx]

Apparently neither are you..

[FergieMan24]

truly you have a dizzying intelect. lol

[xxmike805xx]

The man in the mask cheated. Vicini actually intended to play fair that is why he accepted teh challenge. You can't trust anybody in a mask.

[DieTufel]

"Your just staling now."

"YOUD LIKE TO THINK THAT WOULDENT YOU!!!!!!"

[PdubthePatriot]

"Never get involved in a land war in Asia" lmao

[Frankenkvast]

"Morons" xD

[joelleiby]

I love this movie...

[TakTakular]

a great moment in cinema

[project5121]

I love the expression that vizzini has when he switches the wine glasses.

[notknown]

They're more like goblets.

[salamon1080]

Actually they refer to these drinking vessels as both glasses and goblets in the clip. Furthermore a wine glass IS a goblet. And finally listen closely from 1:43 to 1:48; you can clearly hear that, while these don't LOOK like glass, they are indeed wine glasses. Notknown clearly does not know what he is talking about and therefore looses the battle of wits! :o)

[Bdawg71692]

any body want a peanut

[Masterofvids]

Wallace Shawn is absolutely HILARIOUS.

hahahahahaha.....death

[lagoonguy]

best part of the movie. hilarious.

[coolfundylan]

My favorite part of the movie

[CharlesWII]

see i always say that too but then i see the fight between inigo and wesley and think that's my favourite part of the movie too.

And then i watch the rest of the move and it seems every single part is my favourite part of the movie.

such a damn epic film

[mindlessponderer]

I have the same problem. I have decided: I like this movie.
