Corrected entry: Where on earth did Vizzini get wine, cups, and a tablecloth from, in the middle of a meadow?
Corrected entry: In the scene where Wesley and Buttercup roll down the hill, when they get to the bottom, they are far apart on the wide shot and close together on the close-up shot.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Fezzik is putting Inigo's head in a bucket of water, every time he dumps Inigo's head in the water, you hear his deep breath. Not when his head is pulled out of the water.
Correction: It's not a breath, it is Inigo trying to shout a protest while his head is under water. It sounds just the way it is supposed to.
Corrected entry: When Buttercup finds Westley in the honeymoon suite and jumps on him on the bed, her stockings and shoes are black. When she jumps from the window into Fezzik's arms, her stockings and shoes are white. I doubt she changed in front of Westley, Inigo, and Prince Humperdinck.
Correction: I just watched this in slow motion, and she is wearing white stockings and shoes the whole time. When she jumps on the bed, you mostly see the black (dirty) underside of the shoes, so this might be mistaken for the color of her shoes, but they are indeed white on top.
Corrected entry: When Grandpa is reading to the boy, first the boy's sandwich is whole, then there are some bites taken, then it's whole again.
Correction: The boy's sandwhich is cut in two pieces. so he probably just finished one and started on the other.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Buttercup and Westley are rolling down the hill, go into slow mo and pause it on their faces. The same stunt double played both parts.
Correction: The rules of the site are clear. If you need to use pause or slow-mo, it's not a mistake.
Corrected entry: In the final scene with the grandpa and the boy the grandpa's hair gray (as it was in the rest of the movie) but during a close up when he at the door about to leave his hair is dark brown. It changes back to gray right before he leaves.
Correction: It only appears dark brown due to poor lighting during that shot. If you look closely, you will see that his hair never actually changes color.
Corrected entry: When Westley tells the dungeon keeper that he can bear torture, the keeper says that no-one can bear the machine. Yet when Westley is attached to the machine, the six-fingered man says that he has worked half a lifetime on it and that it has never been used before.
Correction: Yes, but the dungeon keeper knows how powerful it is and knows what it's capable of. He's just making a generalization that no one can withstand it.
Corrected entry: After Buttercup realizes that Humperdinck never sent the messengers and is calling him a coward, he grabs her and shuts her in her room, intending to lock her in since he grabs the key out of the lock. However, he immediately pulls the key out after shutting the door without turning it first- so the door is actually still unlocked. Since Humperdinck was intending to lock her in, it's unlikely that the character would have 'accidentally' forgot to lock the door, more likely the actor was just moving too fast.
Correction: Or he could have been so flustered at his deception being revealed that he truly forgot. It is pure speculation about what the actor was or wasn't doing.
Corrected entry: When the masked man is climbing the rope just before Vizzini cuts it, it's clear that he is being pulled up by another rope or wire. He flies up the rope and is moving up faster and farther than his arms are moving.
Correction: This is deliberate to emphasise his almost superhuman abilities - this is a fairytale after all.
Corrected entry: Westley states that no one has ever survived the Fire Swamp. If that is so, then how does he know what the 3 dangers are? Where did he find out if no one has ever survived to tell the tale?
Correction: It's likely that the legend has been documented somewhere, as is common in films like these. He could have read about the 3 dangers in a book written by a sorceror or other mystical being, or he could have heard it orally from a wise man or an elf.
Corrected entry: The Machine is powered by a water wheel that takes a while to get going (not to mention how long that flood gate took to open and whatever moves the water down the slough). However, when the Count switches it off, and an instant later the camera cuts to a wide shot - the Machine has stopped completely. It should have slowed gradually to a halt because of inertia.
Correction: It could have a built-in braking mechanism that kicks in when the gate is closed.
Correction: Vizzini carries a small bag with him. Being an 'aristocrat' in some ways, he carries these with him.
