Product Description

Brand new, factory sealed, fully licensed DVD manufactured in Brazil. NTSC format. Playable on any North American DVD player. High quality full screen color image. Original English dialog with optional subtitles in Portuguese, Spanish or English. Subtitles can be easily turned off. The following review appears in Amazon for the VHS edition: "This movie has been with me for about 10 years. It grew on me quickly and it has become one of those movies I watch again and again, usually about once a month. First of all, Jean Claude Van Damme is not in this movie, contrary to what you may read in the reviews (I just love that careful attention to detail from most reviewers). However, the people that *are* in the film do a fine job, particularly Walter Matthau who in my opinion is a very, very believable pirate. What is so interesting to me about this movie is that it is one of the few films where you legitimately feel as though you are just peeking in at a tiny episode in the lives of the characters. The film, in fact, ends exactly where it begins, and you are left with a sense that you've seen only one miniscule adventure in the lives of these pirates, who have had and are yet to have countless more. I would have to say that if you are even remotely interested in this era of our history, watch this movie. It is not the epic that "Cutthroat Island" tried to be (and failed at), but rather it is the somewhat comical and adventurous story of Captain Red trying to get his gold, at any cost whatsoever."

5.0 out of 5 stars Only the greatest pirate movie ever!, March 27, 2008

By	Ryan B. Treziok "sorry ladies, I'm taken" (Twin Cities, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Polanski may have his issues... But this movie seems more true to what a Pirates life was like than any other pirate movie I've seen! If you don't mind long quiet contemplation.. trying to decide if you're hungry enough to eat your first mate.. You'll probably love this movie.
