I've seen this movie many times, but somehow Sir Percy keeps fooling me into thinking that he is the last man on the planet who could be the Scarlet Pimpernel.
The look on Chauvelin's face, when Margarite introduces Sir Percy as the man, who aided her brother. He can't believe what he is seeing (neither can she).
Okay, this was so funny, I don't even...😂 No wonder nobody suspects this fob of being the daring Scarlet Pimpernel! Seriously, Bruce Wayne could take a few lessons from Sir Percy!
@@warrenhailes7573 More like the other way around. Sir Percy was the first, followed by Don Diego, and then Bruce Wayne, but all three sure know how to act the role of the foppish dandy type when they need to be. 😁
I would not be surprised if those faint smiles and smirks that Ian McKellen and Jane Seymour gave throughout this entire monologue were partially due to them trying not to laugh from Anthony Andrews' HILARIOUS performance. He was so brilliant for the role! 😆
@@beac9295 Don't worry. You have to see it again and again. When you've become as OBSessed as some of us are- you may end up thinking Re- runs are a very,great idea!!!!
Its "odds fish".....One of those weird terms used in the 18th century by the aristocracy and high society. Like "Gadzooks!" and "Sink me!". I guess the current version is OMG!
I'm currently reading this book in my class, it's so nice!!! Currently on chapter 19 when Marguerite connects the dots and realizes that her stupid husband was the daring and adventurous Scarlet Pimpernel! We stan Percy :D
OMG!! LMFAO!!! I had forgotten how Fing GENIUS THIS IS!!!! LMFAO!! Sir PERCY!!! IT is the one the ONLY PURE HEART SIR PERCIVAL!! OF THE ROUND TABLE!! SON OF GAWAIN!!! THE WAY YAN!!! THE WAY!!
I can't believe I never saw this version! Well, that's a MUST now! I've seen the 1934 version a few times and absolutely LOVED IT! I've been meaning to read the novel. This really is an awesome story.
I remember reading this story as part of a Reader's Digest Classics Collections. Great stuff. Wonder who influenced the creation of The Batman: this story from the Baroness or the legend of Dr. Syn? Seems they took a bit of both.
The original OG superhero. He can clown the chief agent and steal away his girl’s heart right from under his nose ( along with all those condemned victims ) all while concealing his identity in plain sight . Percy was a straight up Gangsta .
Sink me, if I'm not the luckiest man in Europe to know Jane Seymour! Odd's fish, if she isn't worth a revolution! She's one aristocratic lady to just die for, wot?
Ahhhhhh, YES!! Mine too!! I clipped a little bit more from that scene: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3Xw4reR-E7M.html Unfortunately, as Robert Mcall, of The Equalizer, said about Knights in Shining Armor: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wiPrqsnV6UE.html Few Knights are left. Sir Perciville Blakney, Baronnette, today, would be a Knight without a cause. Damsels no longer want to be rescued. Or so it seems.
I think I could make a case for this being objectively true. I think some people in the comment section either haven’t seen the original or have seen this or a later version first and therefore like it out of nostalgia
@victoriaodegaard1 Tbf, the same could be said for the LH version. I've seen both (and others) and vastly prefer this one. It carries more of the spirit of the book series in my opinion. Which, by the way, I'd read well before seeing any of the adaptations.
@@MartinGsl Everyone knows the story. I was looking for the BBC version with Martin Shaw and Richard Grant actually. What is wrong with this dude, and why does he talk like he swallowed an egg timer?
@@martineshamzin7535 The character was supposed to be ridiculous and over the top, though. It's obviously not to your taste, but I find it a great adaptation.
