Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Ojo (Nick Cravat) is mute because Cravat had a thick East Coast accent. more
Goofs:
Continuity: In the final fight, near the end of the film (1h, 39m, 30s), Ojo falls onto some enemies (and gets a barely seen bump on his back). Less than 3 minutes later, the same shot (about 1 second long) is repeated. more
Quotes:
Baron Jose Gruda: You may be over-confident, Captain Vallo. There are 200 of the King's marines aboard this vessel.
Vallo: And only 20 pirates. That puts the odds slightly in my favour. Better surrender the ship.

Bold high energy fun, 2 April 2000
10/10
Author: Pro Jury



Big production values, bold, bright colors, great use of music, high energy acting. Add me to the list of people who have watched this fun movie a zillion times.

The Crimson Pirate ages not. This 1952 movie taking place in time over 200 years ago will remain appreciated for years to come.
