The Pirate Movie - Happy Ending

[@flynnsarcade.1982]

I’d watch this movie on HBO at my grandma and grandpas house a million times a weekend. Man those were some good times. Miss the 80’s dearly.

[@tbo74carter1]

Used to be a fav

[@lordskeletor7246]

Undoubtedly. Watched it a thousand times when it came out on HBO. Miss the songs. :(

SAME! I was OBSESSED!

[@amandabowen2714]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's heard of this movie

[@youtubecensors5419]

I watched this at least twenty times in the early days of cable when I was a kid. Haven't seen it for decades, but watching it again I remember everything about two seconds before it happens, I can almost remember it word for word. Loved this movie as a kid. My family was confused. Still love it!

[@maryseleclaire9372]

No!

[@RichWeigel]

@@youtubecensors5419 Same here I used to watch it as a kid back in the early eighties!

[@MrKaywyn]

A cherished part of my childhood which introduced me to Gilbert and Sullivan.

[@LizzyTheVampireSlayer]

Yep! Must’ve seen this movie 100x growing up in the 80’s! Hilarious to rewatch as an adult and see all the innuendos that flew over my head 😆.

[@pinetreestuff7149]

This song lives in my head rent free when my mom showed it to me in like kindergarten. I'm 18 now and probably one of the only gen z's to know this movie exists

[@songbeetle]

i know! im 17 and wish i knew more people who knew this movie

[@BennyLlama39]

If I'd ever had kids, this is one movie I would've wanted them to watch at some point. Along with Phantom of the Opera (2004), the original Poltergeist, Repo! The Genetic Opera...

[@LybertyZ]

God bless you.

[@jaredsolis6992]

Nice dude I'm 22 and have loved this movie since my mom showed it to me as a kid

[@emmabarbosa4182]

Same

[@fairvalinor]

I saw this when I was 6 and it’s still a favorite. Now I’m almost the Pirate King himself. ❤🏴‍☠️

[@carolmowat699]

The ending with the entire cast dancing across the lawn is the most beautiful thing ever! LOVE this song!!!

[@myhybrid09]

I like how the pirate kings woman slaps his rear end and he reacts. He claimed in an interview that was not in the script lol

[@megandavis8028]

Who tried to dance along with this? Not me😂😉

[@brioncortez6507]

So, it only took me 40 years to catch on, lol. I saw this in the theater at 13 and was absolutely charmed by it. I saw it as an adult and thought about what ridiculously amateurish choreography this was. Later on I realized how brilliant it was. I mean, really, isn't this exactly what an adolescent girl would come up with in an epic dream at her age at that time? Absolute genius! What an insight!

[@LogoMan7777]

Except Kristy McNichol wasn't an adolescent at the time. She was only playing one.

[@lloydtxw]

Then it’s a good thing he means the character and not the actress 🤨

[@NeilKematch]

Me too. Three times in the cinema. Peace for an Anger heart.

[@ericmgarrison]

It certainly was not the Disney choreography for “how does she know” from Enchanted! I loved this film as a teen in the 80s.

[@Conisu70]

I have a homemade soundtrack tape I recorded while staying up past my bedtime watching it on cable😂….core memory

[@BenjimusRawrMeow3rd]

does anyone else think watching this as a kid has reflected upon their current positive outlook on life? things just seemed so much more simple. i love this :) i hope your all awesome

[@janellirving4625]

It has made a positive influence on my life.

[@smichaels10]

I would definitely say so! It also helped influence my love of sexual innuendo in humor.

[@DIAMONDZSPARKLKrusty-Krispy-De]

SUCH a fun movie

[@519forestmonk9]

I am the little clam that hides itself in the sand

[@MrsBarbieBeechum2000]

I can not believing showing this movie to my children, my sister and I still know all the songs and dances. Watching this movie and Dr. Detroit is the only time we get along.

[@davorawilliams4437]

Kristy McNichol and Christopher Atkins are so cute in this movie! Love the great costumes!

[@chavesmiranda2720]

Ok, I will always love this song and movie.

[@hdjksa52]

I know I do. I saw this movie when it came out on WHT (A cable channel on New York City that's gone out of business) back in the 1980's and I still love it.

[@bimproctor7019]

I can't stop loving this. An 80s song bleeding over into my teenage years. EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT FINE.

[@charnellalexander199]

Hoping the entire planet sings this song together at the end of 2020. We NEED a Happy Ending to this year!

[@dougs7367]

Haha and we still do in 2024. Sadly there is no chance in hell that MAGA, Trump or his minions would ever sing this song. Unity, forgiveness and love are not their forte. They are basically orcs

[@Cyannah117]

Still one of the most joyful movie ending songs ever, even 40+ years later ❤

[@Rosie017]

Omg one of my favorite movies as a kid. So nostolgic. :)

July 2020, and still loving the Pirate Movie. x

[@joemcqueen6050]

Such a cheesy movie, and I love everything about it! I remember going to see this numerous times at the theater and never tired of it...and still don't! I miss the 80s...best decade ever

[@vaasnaad]

I frigging LOVE this movie! What a lot of people didn't get but I did... and probably you guys too... this was as much a parody of 80's musicals and romances as it was The Pirates of Penzance. So all the hate this movie gets on the cliche content is like... do you guys not understand how parody works? And I have carried Happy Ending with me since I was a kid 42 years ago.

[@newtonduck1]

Love this movie so much that when I went to Australia, I visited this location!

[@madolivefilms1551]

It was filmed in Australia!!! I'm Australian And LOVE this film

[@aussiepie4865]

It was filmed at the Werribee mansion and on the great ocean Rd.

[@janellirving4625]

I'm sure that was a real treat!

Woke up with this song going through my head this morning.... Always makes me smile.

[@pauldawson5145]

Just dancing in those heavy costumes is a feat in itself Actors are really amazingly talented

[@dee-smart]

This was made in Queensland, Australia and Norman Gunston (Australian comedian) played the lanky police officer in it. I haven't searched it out in years, but nice to see this part again. Brings back memories. I was 22 when this was made and had just come back from a trip to Queensland. I am in South Australia, so that was the reason I looked for it at the cinema. Anyway nice seeing all the positivity in the comments here for such an old movie. I know Chris liked it as he recently said in an interview that he did.

[@emmwal8084]

No it was made in Victoria. The mansion is in Werribee near the zoo. Then you have loch ard gorge and the old ship polly woodside in melbourme.

This is a favourite of mine,I know it back the front. Songs and all. 🎉 I still dream of a happy ending. Loved Frederick mmmm. Biggest crush though was the Pirate king.

[@Griergirl87]

I loved this movie when I was 14 and still love it at 55.

[@ericmgarrison]

Way to go Annakin! I saw this when it premiered in the theatre back in the early 80s, and this song used to serve as my end of day tune too. I still have the LP in my closet (which is where I was back in 1982 when I had a crush on both McNichol and Atkins).Great memories.

Such a GREAT MOVIE!! Very colorful, romantic & entertaining. Wish it had been a bigger hit- it was so FUN!!! Atkins & McNichol were brilliant.

[@friendlyfirefighter4645]

First saw this when it came out. Not seen it since. Still remembered some of the words to this song, if nothing else about the film.

[@theinformer341]

I was 9 old when I saw this movie 🎥 . The keystone cops 👮‍♂️ were hilarious and entertaining 🤣. The Pirate ☠ King 🤴 was a good actor. Everyone did a great in putting this musical 🎼 together. Thank You! 😊 So much.

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

The Pirate King is played by veteran actor Ted Hamilton. He is very well known here in Australia as a musical theatre star although probably less well known to international audiences. He's also known for his tireless charity work. An all around good guy!

[@crzytink]

I love this movie so much!

[@matthewbrock9797]

For years, I couldn't remember or figure out what the name of the movie was so that I could hear this song again that I remember loving as a child, and which name I couldn't remember either.

Happy ending has a whole new meaning now.

[@nbulla512]

I watched this on HBO at my parents when I was younger. This is the days when HBO was a silver box on top of the TV with a switch to activate it. The good old days when things were less complicated and easier. Not the best movie but it has sentimental value in my heart. We had HBO only in my parents bedroom so on a Saturday night we would watch a movie on it it, this one was one, and pass out. My dad would take me and my siblings back to our rooms and then Sunday morning would come and he would make pancakes, eggs, bacon and fresh OJ for breakfast. This was the best times of my childhood.

[@kathykb8123]

I still love this movie now after first seeing it at the age of 12 in 1988 I rented it from my local video shop those good old days of rented VHS lol. Pre-cursor to the KZbin parodies of today with the Star Wars, Jaws and the Inspector Clouseau references lol.

[@jeremyjeconner5422]

I know what you mean I was 10 in 1982 when this came out and loved it but my favorites was hysterical the music man (the original) grease 2 I sung let's do it for Our country and reproduction in the talent shows I got in a little trouble afterwards lol but I won also loved jake speed movie

[@aussiepie4865]

As a kid I had no idea that this was based on the pirates of Penzance. I’d never heard of it. I loved the campy fun silly nature of the movie. When I found out it was from a play I saw the play and loved it. The place where this was filmed was only 10 mins from where I lived.

I was 4-5 when this came out. I had such a crush on Kristy McNicol. I mean , I was IN LOVE with her. I would cry when the movie was over because I couldn't get to see her anymore. I had my mom help me write a fan letter. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I wanted to be an actor just so I could meet her. Now I find out she's a lesbian and I never had a chance. Happy for her to live her truth, but soul crushing that we will never be.
