A good, silly Pirate movie. Worth a watch, mostly to watch Tommy Lee Jones early in his major motion picture career.

I was surprised to see this had mostly bad reviews; I thought it was reasonable enough swashbuckling fun and nice looking on a visual level. Interesting how it shares a nearly identical final scene with future pirate adventure Pirates of the Caribbean, with the scoundrel pirate being saved from hangman's noose at the last second by our more straightlaced hero he's won over from initial enmity over the course of the film. Easily the least "John Hughes"-feeling movie Hughes ever worked on.

One of the films inspired by Indiana Jones financial success. Tommy Lee Jones is starring as wise-cracking adventurer/pirate. It should have been fun, but somehow the film doesn't come together. Lacks some flare, or something.

Outstandingly terrible. It's like George Lucas was directing these actors!
