I actually purchased this for my wife (she's a big pirate nut). I agree with the first poster that $70 is too much to pay for this film (I paid less). This film does not need to have a three disc set. As to the movie:
The acting was terrible. Evan Stone was the best actor on the film and he obviously graduated from the William Shatner School of Acting with honors. Of the female performers, Janine is the only one with an inkling of acting talent. Also regarding the females, I'd like to draw attention to the fact that of the 6 listed actresses, 5 are blond. The 6th is brunette. I also doubt that there is a single pair of natural breasts in the bunch. I also got twitchy over the dialog itself. Not the delivery (which I've already addressed), but what was actually said. I highly doubt that the word "sexy" existed prior to the mid-20th century. If there is a sequel made (as they allude to in the special features disk) I'd like to make the following suggestions:
1. This is a period piece, please refrain from using such "modern" slang as "sexy", "hot (unless referring to an actual measurement of heat like a stove, or cup of coffee)" and "cock (unless referring to an actual rooster)".
2. No more than two blonde actresses (real or bleached) should be cast. The majority should be brunettes (either brown or black hair). And would it kill you to find a redhead?
3. Also, since this is a period piece, do not show women with tattoos (ESPECIALLY ON THE VIRGINAL HEROINE!!!). Yes, I'm aware that tattooing has been around for many centuries. However ladies (especially ladies of class and breeding) did NOT get tattoos (whores, maybe, but even then, I doubt if the Playboy Bunny was an option).
4. If the woman you want to hire for the movie can also double for a flotation device (huge fake tits) in case of an emergency, go with someone with natural, or at least natural-looking breasts (all the actresses looked like they had two monstrously huge zits that needed to be popped).
5. We live on planet Earth. Please try to get a sampling of hair color other than California Blonde. Next time try this formula (3 brunettes + no more than 2 blonds (real or dyed + 1 redhead = Hey look! DIVERSITY!!!)
6. Everyone associated with the movie must sit down and watch Hook, Cutthroat Island, Princess Bride and all Pirates of the Caribbean movies out by the time the sequel is made. This should give them an idea of how pirates should act; and they must be able to accurately answer the following question: Pirates raiding a ship are confronted with women. They:
A. Throw the women overboard to feed the sharks
B. Kill the women outright
C. Left alive to go down with the ship
D. Take the women into custody. Later they will be given to the crew as "entertainment". Then sold into slavery when everyone is finished with them
Overall, if this is the trend for adult entertainment (ie. go back to actually trying to tell a story) I approve. I think the film makers need to pull out their 70s and early 80s films, dust them off, and give them a look see on what to do.
