After doing time for two decades, infamous pirate Yellowbeard (Graham Chapman) breaks out of prison determined to recover the treasure he buried so long ago. Trouble is, the map has been tattooed onto the head of his effete son, Dan (Martin Hewitt), who has little appetite for plundering the high seas. Even worse, a number of rivals aim to beat Yellowbeard to his fortune, including an old shipmate (Peter Boyle), a secret agent (Eric Idle) and a pair of conquistadors (Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong).

Yellowbeard seems almost to have exhausted itself with its casting. This movie contains half the population of most of the movie comedies of the last decade.

The humor is as spotty as the pirates are ratty.

Chock full of tasteless jokes that fall flat, i found it somewhat painful to watch. You can make jokes on dark topics, but this film fails to do so well. There are a few funny bits, but not enough to save the film.

The only portions of the film that I liked were those of James Mason and Madelline Kahn, and the thankful end.

Not a bad production effort & great to see such a cast of actors. But as a comedy it falls a bit flat.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
