Things I Like: Fezzik (The Princess Bride)

Andre the Giant as Fezzik The Princess Bride 1987 film

Fezzik was one of the best parts about The Princess Bride. He was also played by the wrestling legend, Andre the Giant who passed away not many years after this movie came out.

He starts out as one of the hired thugs for Vizzini. He was used primarily as the muscle for any problem that might be in the way.

Fezzik talks with Inigo Montoya about Princess Buttercup on the ship The Princess Bride 1987 film Andre the Giant

But him and Inigo Montoya are not bad people, though they just got themselves a very bad job, lol.

Fezzik battle with Westley The Princess Bride 1987 film Andre the Giant

Out of all the people that Westley has to fight, this was probably my least favorite battle. Because it is rather ridiculous since he didn’t try to attack him with a sword.

And him trying to make him pass out with a chokehold seemed a little bit forced and very unlikely.

He eventually becomes Westley’s friend and helps him reunite with Princess Buttercup and defeat Prince Humperdinck. So he’s all good.

    A true legend. Loved him in the movie and as a wrestler. Was sad when he passed.
