As I’ve said time and again, I’m really not a chick flick kind of a girl. Zombies, those are more up my alley. But it would take a pretty cold heart to not love The Princess Bride – even guys seem to appreciate its humor and sword fights. Or maybe they just want to be the Dread Pirate Roberts. ..What? You just want to take the quiz? As you wish. (C’mon, I had to work it in somewhere.)

Take the quiz: The Princess Bride

  1. So, are we going to have to deal with the offers for spam on every quiz now?

  2. I considered leaving a similar comment yesterday, but I’ve been thinking about it and it’s really just one extra click. If that brings in some money for them, it’s a small price ($0.00) for me to pay.

  3. I knew you’d do this one at some point whether I begged or not. I love you, mental floss.

  4. Boo, somewhat disappointing quiz! So much behind-the-scenes stuff and random questions about the actors’ other gigs, that even though I’ve seen the movie a thousand times, I would never know :(

  5. 67%? Inconceivable!

  6. I was also a little disappointed by all the little known behind-the-scenes tidbits that I had to guess on. Oh well, guess it would be too easy if it were only about the movie. And I got to learn a few things that I didn’t know! (I’ve even read the book, listened to the commentary, watched the DVD extras, etc…)

    Still managed to get all but one right though!

  7. I really wish I had known I’d seen the Cliffs of Insanity when I was in Ireland a couple of years ago. You’d think that would have made it into the tourist literature…

  8. I agree with the other two commenters about the behind the scenes things, and the things completely irrelevant to the movie, like a role Peter Falk had before The Princess Bride.
    I own this movie, have seen it in its entirety at least 50 times, if not more, and I could quote it front and back, but I still didn’t score well, because of the other junk thrown in.
    If you guys are going to do movie quizzes, you should make it entirely about the movie, what went on with the actors during the movie, and so on.
    I’m slightly disappointed.
