Orlando Bloom crushes Jimmy Fallon in a water fight, with some help from 'The Princess Bride'

Orlando Bloom joined Jimmy Fallon to challenge the Tonight Show host to a water war: a variation of the simple card-flipping game War, where the loser in each round gets a glass of water to the face.

The usual late-night game-rigging may have been in place to ensure a little drama, but Bloom and Fallon threw a wrench into proceedings by switching the card piles, inspired by the iocane powder scene in The Princess Bride -- and one of the two came off much, much worse (i.e. wetter) than the other.

Whether this was entirely rigged or not, the bit proves that you're never too old or too famous to enjoy a good water fight.
