Corrected entry: In the scene where Fezzik is hurling a rock at Wesley, watch carefully and you'll see the rock explode before it hits anything.

Corrected entry: Look closely at Buttercup's wedding dress at the actual "wedding". It's ice blue with a white petticoat or whatever under it. It stays the same until where she jumps out the window in the end and lands neatly in Fezzik's arms. Watch her falling - her dress changes to purest white to contrast the night sky better.
Correction: Tough to call this one - the dress isn't really blue, at best it's a silvery-white with a blue cast to it. It's just that against the dark black background, it appears whiter. You've sort of got the cart before the horse.

Corrected entry: When the boat reaches the Cliffs of Insanity, there's a long shot of Buttercup, Vizzini, Fezzik, and Inigo stepping away from the boat. But who's the fifth guy?
Correction: There's no fifth guy. I thought this was right at first, but in frame-by-frame on DVD what you see is that Fezzik gets off first and steadies the boat, then Buttercup, then Vizzini, then Inigo who is holding something man-sized out at arm's length, which appears like another person. It's actually the harness they then strap Fezzik into, for the rest of them to ride.

Correction: Untrue. It hits the boulder directly beyond him. It's just somewhat tough to make out the depth of field because it's viewed almost straight on. Once the debris has cleared you can see the mark the smaller rock made on the boulder.
