5.0 out of 5 stars Under appreciated classic, September 19, 2003

By	Bernhard H. Klinder (Cleveland, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Yellowbeard [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw this film in the theater when it was originally released in 1983 and it has been one of my favorites ever since. What is amazing is that it bombed at the box office and was panned by the critics. This movie is hilarious, and has to be seen in the Monty Python frame of mind. Chapman is priceless, Madeline Kahn is unforgettable, John Cleese is brilliant, Cheech and Chong are hilarious, and Marty Feldman is a comic genius. I have friends over every year to see this film and it's become a "Rocky Horror Picture show" type of event complete with costumes, antics, quote contests, and other silliness. It is a shame this isn't available on DVD. Most of the VHS versions were poor quality, and my copy is certainly on its last legs. If you enjoy Monty Python, this definitely belongs in your collection while it's still somewhat available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Graham Chapman at his best!, December 15, 2001

By	"vango69" (Wilmington, Delaware) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yellowbeard [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is far under-rated in the realm of the Python movies. Seems to me it didn't get enough PR or something because as a comedy film alone it is hilarious. It stars Graham Chapman (Yellowbead a crude, nasty, out of touch, murderous pirate that kills anyone that gets in the way of his killing anyone), John Cleese (Blind Pew who has the most acute hearing in the world), Eric Idle, Marty Feldman, Cheech and Chong (Spanish morons), Madeline Kahn (the unfaithful Mrs. Yellowbeard), Peter Boyle (Yellowbeard's adversary and former ship-mate, Moon), and James Mason (a cruely funny, overly sadastic, extreme Mutiny on the Bounty captain type). It is set in the year 1707 and starts out with Yellowbeard nearing his release after 15 years in an English prison, and of course everyone wants to know where Yellowbeard hid his pirate treasure. Yellowbeard escapes the prison after his sentence is unfairly increased (to get him angry enough to escape on purpose) just before his parole and the rest movie is based on his attempt to avoid beng imprisoned again while being chased by the limp-wristed British authorities and going on a funny non-sensical killing, raping (because he likes rape) and pilliging rampage tryng to recover the treasure he hid so long ago. Of course the British authorities and Moon are after the treasure too :) This is a classic and should have been released on DVD a long time ago. This is Python stuff at it's best with the nastiest Python humor anywhere! Someone please pick up on it and make a DVD of it soon as I have only used rental resale VHS version (accch!) copy of it and would love to see it as it was meant to be seen- clearly and with good THX sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'I'll kill anyone who get's in the way of me killing anyone.' , August 19, 2006

By	Staring Girl "Staring Girl" (Thornton, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yellowbeard (DVD)

Tears stream down my face from laughing so hard when I watch this movie. This is one of the funniest darn movies ever, and for some reason it's so under appreciated. Do I just have a weird sense of humor? It's so darn funny! How can it not be funny with the cast of Monty Python, Cheech and Chong, and of course the wonderfully talented Madeline Kahn...oh, also, if you watch closely there is a very short scene with David Bowie in it. How can you go wrong? Admittedly, the quality of film isn't exactly the best, but with that aside one can still enjoy the hilariously witty one-liner's in the movie that will leave you quoting it after seeing it. So aside from it being a bit rough around the edges, you will laugh your [...]off watching it.
