Fun Stuff
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. moreQuotes:
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.

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.
