Product Description
Having survived a 20-year incarceration for tax evasion, the notorious pirate Yellowbeard (Graham Chapman, Monty Python's Life of Brian) escapes to claim his hidden treasure after the Royal Navy imposes a bogus additional prison sentence. Gathering a crew of miscreants and near-do-wells (AKA his friend and companions), Yellowbeard sets out to locate the treasure map (which has been inexplicably tattooed on his son's head) and find the booty in this comic riff on the swashbuckler. With supporting turns from cast mates John Cleese, Eric Idle, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, Martin Hewitt, 'Cheech' Marin, Tommy Chong, Peter Cook, Spike Milligan, Ferdy Mayne and James Mason, Yellowbeard provides hilarious hi jinks on the high seas.

humor and the irony of the plot
loved it
For me, like many British comedies, it gets funnier the more you watch it the first few times, and holds it's charm long afterwards. I've had friends watch it the first time not thinking much of it. Then giggling a few times the next 2-3 times. Then belting out laughing the 5th+ time. It's a movie that has "in" jokes that you become a part of with time.
This movie is a mixture of cast members from "Young Frankenstein", Cheech & Chong, and a few Monty Python members. The screenplay writing is quite rash. "I'll pin your tits to the table" or "It can't have been you, I'm sure I killed the last one I raped". What makes these lines even remotely funny is a normally stoic Graham Chapman delivers a rare outrageous performance and delivers them with rare gift of phrasing and timing. Such a natural talent.
It gets poor ratings on IMDB and from Ebert, and even Cleese supposedly said it's "one of the worst 5 movies ever made" but I have always had a bizarre sense of humor and for me it's my favorite comedy. Pirates, Sexual Humour, outrageousness, and for once, a Pythonish skit with an actual plot!
And when people try to dismiss this below-the-radar-jewel, just remember, it's never more dangerous than when it's dead!!

A Pirate adventure film done in traditional British Humour style. I laughed my head off at Tommy Chong's character with his oh so noticeable speech impediment, and we even get to see David Bowie make an appearance.
If you are a Fan of that Python style of comedy, then this little GEM is well worth the buy on Blue Ray. It's one of those films that will disappear and go out of print, so get it while you can.
The film is wonderfully scripted and done in a manner that no-one really stars, but equally take part in a swashbuckling emsemble of fun and frolics. To appreciate this gem of a movie requires a few viewings, the first time you watch it you'll spend a fair amount laughing your head off, hence you're bound to miss some of the finer points of the film going on in the background.
If I were in charge of the BBC, I'd make sure this makes the Christmas Day listings, to be repeated on Boxing Day. Only then will this film truly gain the cult status that it deserves.
A Monty Python/ Mel Brooks/ Cheech and Chong movie all rolled into 1
