Swashbuckler (1976)
7/10
The roots of the Pirates of the Caribbean!!!
14 June 2019
After a long hiatus, finally in mid seventies the Pirates coming back on big screen, in a big budge by the way, the movie didn't caused a stir as they planned previously, somehow the picture survives, The Pirates of the Caribbean deserves too much to Swashbuckler, mainly by the humor oriented, some kind of farce, blending adventure and banter, nothing with serious treatment, some dared scenes as the wagon falling down to the sea, a true highlight, using a perfect replica of the old ship from those days, bring us an impressive sense of reality, the cast tawdry, Robert Shaw is too old for those actions, Beau Bridges wasn't enough hilarious, Bujold didn't had a sex appeal properly, just Peter Boyle and James Earl Jones delivery as they could, funny enough to all ages, an amusing picture that survives miraculously at the time!!

Resume:

First watch: 1988 / How many: 3 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7
