Jib Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I had a friend, who knew I did pirate entertainment, suggest this movie. I thought I had heard that it was just a non-stop comedy, the type of movie I have to be in a mood for. I have discovered that while being far from serious it is an entertaining film.

It is one of my personal favorites, but I always recommend seeing with a large group of people. Somehow it is far more fun with a big group. We watch it every few years for Talk Like a Pirate Day.

LadyBarbossa Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Been since the 80s since last I watched it but loved it! Absolutely hilarious! ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Stynky Tudor Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 For me, it's kind of a sleeper of a movie - only seeing bits an pieces over the years, it didn't really seem to have much energy and slipped under my radar. But I watched it recently and was pleasantly surprised. Walter Matthau does a frick'n amazing pyrate! Who knew? And the costumes alone are great to look at. Maybe it would have done better at the box office if it had car chases, gun battles and space aliens or something. It's a very fun movie and I recommend seeing it.

Silent Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 That movie was made the year I was born, so it has to be good! Plus it has Walter, one of my fav actors, rest his soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster James Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I have been told, but have not been able to personally verify, that this movie is somewhat "unfinished"; that it was supposed to continue past it's current ending, but was never completed. Can anyone shed further light on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brand Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 The pomp and circumstance of the Spaniards, especially Damien Thomas as Don Alfonso de la Torré, really drives this one home for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jib Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 It did seem like the story should continue... Loved the scene with the habor chain! Captain Red sure was a mercenary too! Just wanted his gold throne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 My favorite. The movie that sparked my interest. "Without caffine, I'd have no personality at all" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky Actress Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Gosh...I think I still have the VHS of this. I must admit...the costumes were very true period. And yes...it did seem like the ending needed closure....not to just have them set...adrift. Member of "The Forsaken" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
