    • Trivia
      Initially, it was going to be filmed under the title Buccaneer Empire directed by Robert Stevenson with a cast headed by Robert Mitchum, Faith Domergue, Victor Mature and Jack Buetel.
    • Goofs
      Although Henry Morgan is depicted as Blackbeard's chief antagonist, Morgan retired on 1683 and died in 1688, when Blackbeard (born circa 1680) was only eight years old. Blackbeard did not arrive in the Indies until the closing years of the 17th Century, well after Morgan's death.
    • Quotes

      Blackbeard: What be your name, girl?

      Edwina Mansfield: Blackbeard!

      Blackbeard: No, I be Blackbeard!

    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits prologue: "The meeker the man, the more pirate he, Snug in his armchair, far from the sea, And reason commends his position: He has all of the fun and none of the woes, Masters the ladies and scuttles his foes, And cheats both the noose and perdition!"

      "THE ARMCHAIR PIRATE" -Anon.-

    For connoisseurs of ham, here's one of the all-time greats!
    I am gratified that so many others have commented on Robert Newton's completely over-the-top performance in the title role. Unfortunately, it completely transcends the otherwise conventional Hollywood pirate movie that surrounds it. When he's on the screen, nothing else exists. Yes, it's ham-acting at its hammiest but it's virtuoso ham acting that hardly anyone could hope to match. He rolls his eyes, growls, orates...he simply takes over the movie and almost gives ham-acting a good name. The only performances of this kind that I can think of which come close to matching him are Orson Welles (in many things but especially in "Black Magic") and Ralph Richardson in "Things to Come."
