"It was the only thing that jumped into my mind," says Barnes, "because I've seen it at least 20 times!"

'You killed my father! Prepare to die!'

In the Prince Caspian movie, there is a point where the young prince finds his uncle—the evil King Miraz who had killed Caspian's father—unarmed and defenseless. It's an opportunity for Caspian to take revenge, but he does not. When filming that scene, Barnes was tempted to modify one of the most famous lines in film history:

"Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!"

But Barnes stuck to the script—albeit with a line that's not too far off from Inigo's.

In the end, Barnes says they've made a movie that he thinks Narnia fans will enjoy.

"I've always been a huge fan of the books," he says, "and I don't think there's anything that's incongruous with the book that fans know and love. I think that once they see it, they'll like it."
