Audio problem: After Wesley rescues Princess Buttercup from Vizzini, he takes her up on a windy mountain and they talk. In one angle, Wesley is talking and wind noise can be heard during his vocals. It never happens again during the shot although all shots in this sequence are windy.

1 audio problem - chronological order
Directed by: Rob Reiner
Starring: Cary Elwes, Billy Crystal, Peter Falk, Carol Kane, Christopher Guest, Chris Sarandon, Wallace Shawn, Fred Savage, Mel Smith, Mandy Patinkin, Peter Cook, Robin Wright Penn, André the Giant
Continuity mistake: After Montoya has hauled Wesley to the top of the cliff, he drops the rope on the ground, where it lands forming a couple of coils. You can see this as Wesley sits down and Montoya leans up against the wall. However, when they start their duel, the rope is hanging straight off the cliff, without any coils in it.
Vizzini: Inconceivable!
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Trivia: When Count Rugen knocks Westley out to put him in the Pit of Despair, Cary Elwes wanted the scene done properly, so he told Chris Guest to hit him for real with the sword butt. Guest did, and accidentally hit him hard enough that production had to be shut down for a day while Elwes was taken to the hospital.
Question: What does Miracle Max mumble before agreeing to help Inigo and Fezzik with mostly-dead Westley? It's after Inigo says "humiliations galore," as Max is turning away to get his hat.
