Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Morgan Adams and her slave, William Shaw, are on a quest to recover the three portions of a treasure map. Unfortunately, the final portion is held by her murderous uncle, Dawg. Her crew is skeptical of her leadership abilities, so she must complete her quest before they mutiny against her. This is made yet more difficult by the efforts of the British crown to end her piratical raids. Written by Stern

Trivia
Meryl Streep came very close to playing the part of Morgan but had too much of a busy schedule to work it in. See more »Goofs
When Dawg holds Mordecai at knife point, it can be clearly seen that the knife is a prop with a collapsing blade. See more »Alternate Versions
The R2 DVD differs from the VHS cut in several ways with some scenes being put back in and yet some still left badly cut...- Before leaving the room in the opening scene, Morgan tells the man she's just seduced: "I got your balls."
- Morgan pushes the eyepatched guard off a balcony saying "I promised I'd take care of you later", paying off a line earlier that never made sense without both scenes.
- When the chain wraps around Morgan's neck in the tavern she is now pulled off backwards in a bad CGI shot that shows her landing on a table below.
- More fighting scenes, more slashing of bellies.
- When Dawg shoots his own crew member ("We need less mouths") it's obvious this still remains badly cut as the gunshot cuts off abruptly and we don't see the man taking the bullet.

To appreciate this film you have to:
-- Have Geena's role as Louise firmly planted in your mind, which is the case for moderately serious moviewatchers
-- Appreciate the valentine that this is from her husband -- who would go even further later
-- Live in a post-feminist mind that appreciates a woman in a man's role but secretly relishes when she is sexy, and rationalize it because she has a high IQ
-- Know that this woman did many of her own stunts at nearly 40
-- Be aware that pirating was all about sex not gold
-- Spent a fair amount of your youthful imagination with 'Treasure Island' inspired fantasies.
If so, you don't care that this movie is as bad as, say the "Jurassic Park" stuff, and for much the same reason. You just don't care.
