a "cult classic" that has it's moments of good humor. Overall, not my favorite movie, but the men in my family like it.

This movie is so hysterical. You will find yourself laughing through out the whole movie. For those of us that remember Cheech & Chong in the 70's you will not want to miss this movie!!! Ignore the review from All Movie Guide on this one. To each his own I say. LOL

Graham Chapman at his best!

"This movie is far under-rated in the realm of the Python movies. Seems to me it didn't get enough PR or something because as a comedy film alone it is hilarious. It stars Graham Chapman (Yellowbead a crude, nasty, out of touch, murderous pirate that kills anyone that gets in the way of his killing anyone), John Cleese (Blind Pew who has the most acute hearing in the world), Eric Idle, Marty Feldman, Cheech and Chong (Spanish morons), Madeline Kahn (the unfaithful Mrs. Yellowbeard), Peter Boyle (Yellowbeard's adversary and former ship-mate, Moon), and James Mason (a cruely funny, overly sadastic, extreme Mutiny on the Bounty captain type). It is set in the year 1707 and starts out with Yellowbeard nearing his release after 15 years in an English prison, and of course everyone wants to know where Yellowbeard hid his pirate treasure. Yellowbeard escapes the prison after his sentence is unfairly increased (to get him angry enough to escape on purpose) just before his parole and the rest movie is based on his attempt to avoid beng imprisoned again while being chased by the limp-wristed British authorities and going on a funny non-sensical killing, raping (because he likes rape) and pilliging rampage tryng to recover the treasure he hid so long ago. Of course the British authorities and Moon are after the treasure too :) This is a classic and should have been released on DVD a long time ago. This is Python stuff at it's best with the nastiest Python humor anywhere! Someone please pick up on it and make a DVD of it soon as I have only used rental resale VHS version (accch!) copy of it and would love to see it as it was meant to be seen- clearly and with good THX sound."

"Tears stream down my face from laughing so hard when I watch this movie. This is one of the funniest darn movies ever, and for some reason it's so under appreciated. Do I just have a weird sense of humor? It's so darn funny! How can it not be funny with the cast of Monty Python, Cheech and Chong, and of course the wonderfully talented Madeline Kahn...oh, also, if you watch closely there is a very short scene with David Bowie in it. How can you go wrong? Admittedly, the quality of film isn't exactly the best, but with that aside one can still enjoy the hilariously witty one-liner's in the movie that will leave you quoting it after seeing it. So aside from it being a bit rough around the edges, you will laugh your [...]off watching it."

Cast of Loonies

"Well suffice it to say this is a very funny movie. Just look at the cast. Some which have passed away. I can only say it stumps me as to why this isn't out on DVD when Cabin Boy and other similar movies are in fact on DVD. The mix of some of the Monty Python crew with a spattering of various other comedians including Cheech & Chong make it unforgettable. Good sets and music add to the movie. Anyone that enjoys comedies or pirate movies should find this entertaining. If you like Monty Python, Cheech & Chong, the Marx Brothers, or the Three Stooges you will love it."
