    • Trivia
      Final theatrical movie of Marty Feldman (Gilbert). He died during production on December 2, 1982 of a heart attack.
    • Goofs
      When Dan embraces Yellowbeard and accidentally stabs him, the hilt of the dagger changes between shots.
    • Quotes

      Narrator: The pirate Yellowbeard captured many other galleons, killing over five-hundred men in cold blood. He would tear the captains hearts out and swallow them whole. Often forcing his victims to eat their own lips, he was caught and imprisoned... for tax evasion.

    • Crazy credits
      Toward the end of the credits there is a dedication to Marty Feldman (who died during the filming) that simply states "For Marty"
    • Connections
      Edited into Group Madness (1983)

    Must see (in my opinion)
    You may not agree with me, but I absolutely loved this movie. How often can you see this many stars in a movie involving royalty being raped? When you put together Monty Python members (who are excellent), many American comedians, pansies with maps on their scalps, a dirty prisoner who likes jail better than his ex, David Bowie as a human torture shark (with a 10 second cameo), Cheech and Chong, the father from Everybody Loves Raymond (and countless other CBS comedies), and many other amazing roles. I'm very sad to see that the only place you can get a hold of this tape except for waiting for 5 years for a request at Blockbuster (Yes, I requested it in 1995 and didn't receive the tape until 2002) or off of Amazon/E-Bay used (for no less than $35). Bascially, you can't beat Monty Python meets Cheech and Chong comedy.
