Robert Shaw (Jaws), Genevieve Bujold and James Earl Jones star in this lusty, rollicking pirate adventure set in the 18th Century Carribean. After rescuing his right-hand man from execution, swaggering buccaneer Red Ned Lynch (Shaw) and hot-tempered noblewoman Jane Barnet (Bujold) join forces as they attempt to free the citizens of Jamaica from the evil Lord Durant (Peter Boyle, Everybody Loves Raymond) and fight anybody who gets in their way!
Thick with stunts and swordplay, flying fists and gleaming blades, this entertaining action-filled high seas epic is filled with treachery, romance and treasure!

One of the first movies I remember seeing when I was a child. Robert Shaw was very memorable here.

[@Quicksilver1111]

"Never fight fair when you're fighting for your life" are words to live by.

[@Cydonia2020]

I saw this film as a kid and absolutely loved it. Avery Schreiber did not get enough screen time, but what he did get he used every second of it. Great comedic actor.

[@cooperjackson614]

I've always loved the three-way wagon cliff dive. Stuntmen were crazy back in the day. Well still are.

[@ggleck]

Really feelin my age but this movie always stuck with me RIP Robert Shaw

[@teller121]

Best things about the flick: 1. Robert Shaw 2. ship 3. soundtrack 4. underrated bad guy performance by Peter Boyle (who is a "comedian" only to younger viewers) who made his bones in purely dramatic roles of varied types for decades before landing on Who Loves Raymond and 30 yrs before the then odd-casting of him in Young Frankenstein 5. always liked the Irish-English hate thing (though obsolete somewhat now), and here Lynch the pirate is Irish played by very well by Shaw against the arrogant corrupt "your Lordship" -said with disdain by Lynch -a man of obviously somewhat more common background. 6. Genevieve is kind of hot and defiant (and is French) 7. James Earl has abs! Hard to believe to anyone under 50.

The ship can still been seen in Brixham harbour.

[@teller121]

I just saw it on Wiki. Is that ship the one in the movie? The one I saw was on a mud flat and was shown as a replica of "The Golden Hind."

[@tmaciw]

Yep, that's the one. You must have seen it when the tide was out as normally it's floating.

[@Cydonia2020]

8. Avery Schreiber doing what he does best: having a ball and being entertaining while doing it.

[@FingerBreakerWu]

"Peter Boyle (who is a "comedian" only to younger viewers)" Um...he was doing comedy before Swashbuckler and pretty much did it until he passed. Meaning you think a 50 year old is "young". And the fact that you didn't even know he was Frankenstein's Monster in Young Frankenstein done two years *before* this kind of shows your age, doncha think?

[@J_Rossi]

I wonder if part of the swordfight between Alejandro and Elena in The Mask of Zorro was inspired by Ms. Bujold and Mr. Shaw in this clip.

[@DireHammer]

Quint, Vader, and Frank Barone. I'm in.

[@emeraldstar0967]

Duh!;)

[@ladisneyprincesse]

And Anne Boleyn!

[@IceCold11235]

James Earl Jones running around and very quickly, WTF IS HAPPENING???

[@tomp8094]

I miss Robert Shaw - he was a terrific actor.

[@alanroberson9749]

Very good job fellows throughout the 5th longest felicitous family entertaining experience week of said surfside Summer June!! Congratulations 898% y'all. "Never fight fair when you're fighting for your life" are words to live by.

[@trwent]

Genevieve Bujold was gorgeous in this film.

[@abbymama1]

Inspired by this movie (many years ago), I took a fencing class and found out I wasn't bad at it. Also I love the soundtrack.

[@fernandoguevara5227]

One of the best film scores of all time!

[@x15galmichelleevans]

@@fernandoguevara5227 Absolutely agree! Great movie and wonderful music.

[@BujoldComa78]

I really liked this film. But then Genevieve Bujold is my favorite actress so I'm a bit prejudice on that front. But it was a fun movie to watch.

[@BetterAircraftFabric]

A REALLY GOOD Movie

[@dorothyriskowitz763]

Am ordering this one, looks great and lots of fun.

[@gendoruwo6322]

it's extra campy , think Flash Gordon. it's very entertaining and fun. One of my favorite movies of all time.

[@nikospap3786]

The only reason to see this movie...it's the hot fight between the two girls in the bar!!

[@lizig1915]

A real fave !

[@hannibalburgers477]

0:48 ok that made me chuckle

[@Bugster987]

Looks frickin awesome

[@neverwuz01]

this wasn't really a bad movie, but it was very formula for the time. Geoffrey Holder probably was the second choice for the James Earl Jones role and was being the back-up if James had not signed. Robert Shaw was still riding high off of Jaws, so he probably pitched this idea. People forget that Peter Boyle was, at one time, a dramatic actor, but his casting Young Frankenstein and the praise he got, this was probably him trying to distance himself from it.

[@martinzaehringer1697]

I saw this when it came out in 1977. I remember nothing about it except there is a scene where the villain's back is getting waxed and they peel off the way and it's gross looking.

[@gendoruwo6322]

i remember the villain having epilepsy. still an asshole though.

[@enminghee2926]

Amazing how it would take POTC and One Piece to revive the genre finally.

[@martinzaehringer1697]

Looks like Disney gave this a look see before they started filming "Pirates of the Carribean."

[@doopdoopdopdop7424]

Yarr. It be Darth Pirate Yarr!

[@tedbailey3673]

A poor man's Cutthroat Island!

[@Desslar]

Shaw looks awfully long in the tooth to play the lead here. Still, given the cast and the spectacle it looks worth a watch.

[@amusement420]

Robert Shaw's gonna need a bigger boa oh nevermind ; )

[@FingerBreakerWu]

Loved this movie as a kid. I do agree on the miscasting, though. Comedian Peter Boyle playing a baddie with no English accent. Beau Bridges as the bumbling comic relief bad guy...I mean, I like Beau as an actor, but his comic presence has been wanting in movies I've seen him in where he has to have it. Case in point, him rambling about beating Mechaturtle in "The Wizard". And James Earl Jones' and Geoffrey Holder's roles should have been reversed.

[@cobaltace62]

TheReivenlocke: actually, Peter Boyle played a baddy in Outland with Sean Connery and was pretty good at being bad.

[@noflnofli8566]

♥️♥️

[@cooperseely]

I just had deja vu

[@jamesl.anderson1384]

0:58 0:59 1:00

[@NancyFrye]

This looks terrible, but it's streaming on Netflix right now so I'm going to have to watch it...then listen to the Film Sack podcast.

[@mici8846]

it is a fun movie. you just cant take it seriously. I think the whole.idea behind it was to make fun of the whole genre of the errol.flynn type robin hood silliness.

[@astralmarmoset]

I had to pass on this one. It was a good episode of Film Sack though. :)

[@frtw4428]

I think you'll be really disappointed (if you haven't seen it yet). The swordplay looks interesting here, but trailers are usually better than the movies themselves. The best things about this film are the music and the ships.

[@moneymayne]

How long has it been since the narrator of a movie trailer kept saying the same thing over and over again to the point where it got annoying?

[@TheStcyril]

Ugh... this movie sucked so bad! Even Robert Shaw reprising his role as Quint, Darth Vader, and the original (emotionless) Captain Janeway couldn't save it. I tried three times to enjoy it... I mean seriously, just watch the way the bad guy captures the damsel. He fakes a heart attack after he and Janeway throw insults back and forth like on a school yard, and as he's passed out, grabs Janeway! Terrible movie, terrible story, horrible acting... need I go on?

[@bria78]

Looks awful in fact. Probably one of those movies that Robert Shaw accepted to do to pay his taxes and support his big family. He admitted he had accepted lame roles for money. Even Marlon Brando did crappy movies, so…

[@tomashize]

They DEFINITELY don't make em like THAT anymore!
