TIL filming the duel between Inigo Montoya & The Six-Fingered Man was special for Mandy Patinkin, who had also lost his father — to cancer. So defeating the villain “meant I killed the cancer that killed my dad.” This brought extra weight to the line “I want my father back, you son of a bitch.”

1. BTW this is about *Princess Bride*, where Mandy Patinkin played Inigo Montoya.

   I didn’t say that in the title, because I didn’t have room, but I hope/assume most Redditors know this.

2. You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means…

3. I think the important takeaway here is the man’s name was Mandy… For that matter have you ever thought about how Sylvester Stallone’s name is Sylvester?
