Line 87:
'''Humperdinck:''' I know, the people are quite taken with her. It's odd, but when I hired Vizzini to have her murdered on our engagement day, I thought that was clever. But it's going to be so much more moving when I strangle her on our wedding night. Once Guilder is blamed, the nation will truly be outraged - they'll demand we go to war.
'''Rugen:''' ''(looking for the secret passage in the tree)'' Now where is that secret knot? It's impossible to find... (he finds it and the tree opens to reveal a hidden passage) Ah... Are you coming down into the pit? Westley's got his strength back. I'm starting him on the machine tonight.
'''Humperdinck:''' Tyrone, you know how much I love watching you work, but I've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|my wife to murder and Guilder to frame for it]]. I'm swamped.
'''Rugen:''' Get some rest. If you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything. }}
* [[Fingertip Drug Analysis]]: Parodied.
Line 128:
* [[He Will Come for Me]]: No less than three Will Come For Me moments.
** A variation while Buttercup is held prisoner by the Man in Black.
{{quote|'''Buttercup:''' No matter where you take me, there's no greater hunter than Prince Humperdinck. [[Scarily Competent Tracker|He could track a falcon on a cloudy day.]] He can find you.
'''Man in Black:''' You think your dearest love will save you?
'''Buttercup:''' I never said he was my dearest love. And yes, he will save me. That I know. }}
** While Buttercup is waiting for Westley to come take her away.
Line 164:
* [[Legacy Character]]: The Dread Pirate Roberts. Westley reveals that he is at least the third person to use the mantle in order to uphold the legend. Fezzik even briefly takes up the identity to scare a few guards in one scene. {{spoiler|At the end of the movie, Inigo wonders what to do now that he got his revenge, and Westley passes the name to him.}}
* [[Leitmotif]]: Skillfully done with Fezzik's plodding slide trombone theme. You can't help but smile when you hear it, especially in this scene:
{{quote|'''Inigo:''' ''(drunk out of his mind)'' [[This Is Sparta|I. Am waiting. For. Vizzini.]]
''Cue leitmotif as huge hands pick Inigo up''
'''Fezzik:''' [[Rhymes on a Dime|You surely are a meanie.]] }}
* [[Let's Fight Like Gentlemen]]: Inigo Montoya and Westley have a most cordial conversation before they fight.
Line 235:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Westley's "man in black" outfit is a dead ringer for the costume Douglas Fairbanks Sr. wore in the original ''Mark of Zorro''.
** This sequence.
{{quote|'''Fezzik''': Why are you wearing a mask? [[Phantom of the Opera|Were you burned by acid or something like that?]]
'''Man in Black''': No, it's just that they are terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future. }}
* [[The Slow Walk]]: Inigo during his final duel with Count Rugen. Justified because he was seriously injured at the time.
