I recently imported the UK fullscreen version. I guess I need to make comparisons for editing.

I just watched the end of this on some satellite channel this afternoon. How ironic

And promptly told my wife I would purchase any DVD, sight unseen. It's terrible, but in a cheesy way.

Bought

Nate And Hayes!!?? Holy crap, I forgot about that one! Give us Yellowbeard, too! (Hey MGM - or Sony, or whoever...)

Hey cool! I remember seeing this theatrically. My sister and I were laughing AT it...and we were clueless little kids!

And yes, I'll be buying this DVD. Absolutely.

Cool, I was just about to copy my full-frame vhs tape to dvd b/c I had given up hope on this one being released. I am also a fan of this film from HBO's numerous showings of this as a kid in the early 80's. (Count Robin Williams' Popeye in there as well.)

Beleive it or not...I even have the 2 LP soundtrack to this flick. Yes, you heard right....they did a 2 record set for this stinker. But I love every minute of it.

2 LP? Doesn't surprise me. The chorus of "Happy Ending" seems to go on forever.

Caught this on FMC this week; by the time the credits were only half rolled, my wife says, "Just give me an ending, already!"

Oh yeah, I've got the dual LP at home, too. Now if I only had a turntable...

Update: The Digital Bits reports The Pirate Movie on the way "in mid-2005".

Yeah, Anchor Bay has it listed for Summer 2005 on their site.
