Re: Andre the Giant - The Greatest Drunk on Earth
 

What's the movie he was in that was so excellent?
Princess Bride?

Re: Andre the Giant - The Greatest Drunk on Earth
 

Yep. He was in alot of pain when he did that movie but he hid it well. He always had a very jovial demeanor.

Re: Andre the Giant - The Greatest Drunk on Earth
 

He was supposedly in great pain at WMIII too. He scared the crap out of Vince McMahon b/c he threatened to not go out to the ring b/c of the pain. But he suffered through and made what is now one of the most famous WWF/E matches of all time.

Re: Andre the Giant - The Greatest Drunk on Earth
 

That is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Re: Andre the Giant - The Greatest Drunk on Earth
 

This article got me looking up old youtube videos of Andre. This was a great one with interviews and behind the scenes from Princess Bride.

This is one of my favorite "Andre the Giant" stories (I may not have every detail correct, but it's basically correct). Andre got involved in an incident on the road with two other guys in an another car. The guys in the other car had what we call today "road rage". Andre got out of his car and flipped the other car up-side down, got back in his car and left. When the police arrived the two men in the turned over car claimed "An angry giant turned our car over". The two men were taken to jail to sober up.
