Review Like a Pirate – Part the Thirde

You totally forgot about the Princess and the Pirate. OK, it was an OLD film starring Bob Hope but it still counts! :/

ice pirates totally counts. and is totally more awesome than the latter two pirates of the carribean films (I was surprised by how much i liked the first one, but was even more surprised by how much i DIDN'T like the other two...yeesh, talk about squandering the good will gained from new fans of a series REALLY fast) hell, i'd rather watch ice pirates than the prequel trilogy. it was a silly little sci fi romp and a blatent ripoff but it captured what made star wars so endearing so much better than the prequels or (shudder) the ewok movies...oh yeah, who remembers those atrocities?

and side note, there may be something to "The UnFuckingBelievable Guy"s point (and a few others i'm sure) to mentioning muppet treasure island. it wasn't the best movie or anything, but i was both in stitches and honestly impressed by kermit buckling some serious swash in that movie. i mean, holy shit, how do you make a muppet sword fight? and sword fight SKILLFULLY? i really don't think it was CGI either, though i could be wrong...

Never heard of Yellow Beard, so it was off to youtube. Wow, I can't believe I missed that one...John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Cheech and Chong, Peter Cook, Eric Idle, Madeline Kahn (KAHHHNNNN!!!). Holy crap what a cast, and it came out in 83. How did I miss this?

Well, turns out that someone in the youtube trailer comments section mentioned that you can watch it free on hulu.com! So, I head over there and watched it and it was great! Isn't the internet amazing?

Would Hook count as a pirate film? If so, that was pretty dang good.

YES ICE PIRATES!

I just saw it the other day. So hilarious, even though it was cheesy and filled with bad innuendo.

Yellowbeard was the best, "Us Yellowbeards are never more dangerous than when we're dead!" :D


"I'm gonna make you eat both your own buttocks!"

oh god! Ice Pirates! (*you* feel old)

No one liked any of the Sinbad films? I thought 7th Voyage or Golden Voyage were pretty good.

I personally always enjoyed The Crimson Pirate.

My favorite is Treasure Island (1950).

What about Swiss Family Robinson? Or Robinson Crusoe? I think it was made into a movie lol

I'm sure you coulda done Pirate books (lots of them, many of them romance I bet cause women are fucked up and like being treated like objects apparently.. or get off to women being treated like objects in said books). How about Pirate songs?! There are tons of those! How about top Pirate Cartoons? Pirates of the Dark water bitches! Come now Spoony! You can do more than just this!

Next Pirate's Day I guess...

What about Time Bandats?

I love "Ice Pirates"!

Oh shit dude! Yellowbeard was the first one I thought of after the Pirates of the Carribean ones! Hooray for me! Fucked if I can remember any of it though. All I have is this vague memory of some pirate type character, most likely a pirate, saying "Yellowbeard!" It was awesome.

Muppet Treasure Island is still the best pirate/childrens/anything movie ever made. Unlike every other movie I enjoyed as a kid, where I pulled back the nostalgia filter to reveal a piece of shit, MTI is still great fun.
It's also the best musical movie ever made. Bar none.

Has anyone mentioned the various Treasure Islands or the 1930s era swashbucklers like Captain Blood? Though, to be fair, almost all the best ones ARE from the 1930s.

The ship just got "hepres" I mean that funny! Space Hepres is still a scene in that movie that makes me snicker to this day.

Ice Pirates was AWESOME! I just watched that the other day. Was getting my nostalgia on!

Serenity? Well, the TV show Firefly was pirates. Sorta. Western Pirates. In space. Kinda.

They were pirates!

ICE PIRATES ROCKED!!! Came out the same time as Android came out on Superchannel! Both great movies :)

I am SO glad you said Yellowbeard. Amongst my friends I am the only person who has ever heard of that movie.
Which is a pity because Madeline Kahn and Graham Chapman are brilliant in it lol.

Treasure Planet

The Pirates of Penzance or however its spelled! Who doesn't love a good gilbert and sullivan musical? I loved that movie as a kid. Muppet Treasure Island! It had Tim Currey and Gonzo! AND WHAT ABOUT HOOK?!?! or peter pan for that matter. Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman were great in that movie. You should give more credit to pirate movies.

Does Time Bandits count?

Hell Yeah on Ice Pirates. That movie was kick ass awesome. oh and i want more smiling jack.

No mention of Blackbeard's Ghost!

You need to see that one if you haven't.

the pirate bit in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is pretty badass. bill murray kicks some pirate ass in that one. also the episode of south park where the kids go to samilia is hilarious....thats all i can think of really...hmmm

Muppet Treasure Island!

You forgot a lot of movies mate.

Anne of the Indies
Black Pirate, The
Blackbeard the Pirate
Buccaneer, The
Sinbad, the Sailor

I gotta throw in Cabin Boy with Chris Elliot, not because the movie was particularly good, but solely because of David Letterman's stunning performance as Old Salt.

ARRRRRRRRG YELLUH BEARD!!!!!! I love that one, Its like monty python, but not by monty python ish amazin also, check this out MY ANNIVERSARRY IS ON INTERNATIONAL TALK LIKE A PYRATE DAY, arrrg Viktry
