"Graham Chapman plays Yellowbeard exactly the same way as if they'd cast Animal from the Muppets" I love that comparison

The comparison works because Animal was roughly based on Keith Moon, and Chapman was playing Yellowbeard as if Keith Moon.

@@ristorantanen5769 true but time bandits is time traveling rather than a set peroid, Life of Brian is Monty Python proper rather than just having some Python members involved or just a Python flavor. As I see it Life of Brian, Holy Grail & The Meaning of life are the Python religion trilogy so kinda stand apart. But LoB & Holy Grail certainly could fit in with Baron Munchausen, Eric the Viking & Yellow Beard Unmade is unqualified 😂

I actually loved Yellowbeard, and am surprised more people don't. There are valid complaints to be sure, and you've highlighted several, but still, slightly madcap films loaded with diverse comedians can be great fun to watch. The three things I especially loved were the cast, the absurdity of the plot, and the general spoofing of pirate movies. Graham Chapman was great as the title character, and the rest of the cast did their schtick admirably. There was terrific Easter eggs throughout, with Monty Python like comedy details that go under the radar. If it is a "bad" movie, it is one I've seen several times, and will watch again for the fun.

Yellowbeard is Graham Chapman's show and he's ruddy superb in it; a real force of nature and the polar opposite of his timorous "Brian" character in that beloved biopic. In fact, they're all superb - Madeline Khan, Peter Cooke, Marty Feldman, John Cleese, James Mason. So many quotable lines. And that bizarre cameo from David Bowie as the "shark" still comes out of absolutely nowhere.

Roman Polanski's Pirates with Walter Matthau is a must watch and a great addition to anyone's vídeo collection who have a serious love for romanticised pirate films. Its truly a masterpiece thats been forgotten somewhat over the years. The cast, the enormous amount of money that went into building the ships and sets and without CGI, the drama behind the scenes when promoting the film all make up for 2 hours of what is now very nostalgic and pointed when comparing to later black comedy pirate films that came after.

Yellowbeard wasnt a bad movie! It had some of the greatest comedy talent of the 20th century, with most of them not being here today. In fact a few died not long after the movie was made. I guess people try to compare it to an official Monty Python movie, but you cant do that, because there are levels, and just because this movie wasnt at the top level, it doesnt mean it was at the bottom.

That American poster you showed was the DVD cover released around the 2000's, what I remember back then was similar to the UK poster shown.

Thanks for posting this about one of my favourite films. I don't know about "lost". I've been watching it and enjoying it about every 2 years since it came out. It was unaccountably panned by critics but is slowly becoming a cult classic. Apart from the incongruous inclusion of Cheech and Chong (whom I liked in the 1970's) it is full of great bits. I don't know why critics say it has an incomprensible plot. Maybe they're Americans who don't get the cultural references, like Queen Anne and Lady Churchill, or Blind Pew from Treasure Island.

My friend had a bootleg VHS of Yellowbeard that we watched in a group. We were young and stoned, and we loved it. It was so stupid, and it spoke to us in a nonsense way, as young teens.

Having seen the movie many years ago, I can say that it had interesting characters and many good moments. Yes it wasn't polished and probably all of the criticisms are justified, but still worth seeing. I'd like to watch it again.

I loved this movie enough to own the VHS, then DVD and now blu-ray version. A "supergroup" movie even funnier than Mad Mad Mad Mad World. Lots of Monty Python DNA in this one, especially with Peter Bull as Queen Anne (his last role).

There is a scene in Yellowbeard where a sailor tries to sneak a woman on board and naturally she gets kicked off. Well, the camera follows her as she leaves the ship and as she walks away she bumps into a sailor carrying a lamb and says "best not, they're fairly strict on this ship, Love" I died 😂😂😂😂😂

The film was not about the "Yellowbeard story," it was about every pirate film ever made AND a cutting social satire of 17th Century politics. It was the commitment to historical accuracy that made the outrageous behavior so funny. And how was it received by what is clearly its target audience? I dare you to go to any Renaissance Fayre and say "stagger, stagger, roll" and see what happens.

In the late 80’s between attempts at college I worked at a non-blockbuster video store. So I watched EVERYTHING that was available up until that point. I saw this film and had to see it because of everyone who was in it, except for Cheech and Chong who I didn’t get at the time. I remember feeling disappointed that it wasn’t really a python film and wasn’t really any other kind of film. As time has gone on I have found moments in it that are so hilarious I am tempted to make friends watch it. I have learned not to do so unless they have the same list of most loved actors as I do. People who dont love it just because of who those folks are cannot be convinced. Except for my wife who is about to be subjected to it and I’m sure she will make sure I understand she loves it even as she refuses to finish watching it...

I saw it when it came out and remember being disppointed - I was expecting Monty Python but it fell a bit flat. I think I've seen it a few time since (probably on VHS). The clips you chose seem pretty funny so might give it another go.

@@immakingamovie1379 Just watched it. I thought it was pretty great to be honest. It's probably the twin factors of zero expectation and the nostalgia of seeing a lot of familiar faces. I thought the script was consistently funny. Madeline Kahn's (and her wonderful accent) stole the show.

I think it’s unfair to call it bad. It definitely has glaring flaws that let it down considerably but the performances are all spot on and when it’s funny it’s hilarious, so many quotable lines. Definitely worth a watch.
