Synopsis
A latter-day attempt to update the swordplay success of
Errol Flynn
movies, this film is part burlesque, part homage to old-fashioned pirate films.
James Earl Jones
and
Robert Shaw
play Nick Debrett and Ned Lynch, two pirates who save a noblewoman, Jane Barnet (
Geneviève Bujold
), and take her to Jamaica. They find that their friends have been taken captive by a ruthless dictator --
Peter Boyle
plays the foppish villain Lord Durant with an over-the-top swagger. Debrett and Lynch set out to rescue their friends and overthrow the perverted tyrant.
Beau Bridges
plays Major Folly, a fancy-dressing Scarlet Pimpernel sort. A young
Anjelica Huston
has a minor part as a nameless woman. There is plenty of swordplay, blood, slapstick, and cleavage, all directed by
James Goldstone
in a frenzied fashion. ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide
