Movie Reviews of Yellowbeard
Movie Review: "Once a rotten little one, always a rotten little one."
Summary: 5 Stars
The Monty Python crew in this funny take on pirating and everything associated with it. Graham Chapman plays Yellowbeard, the most feared pirate in the land. He's killed many and has a distinctive smell as well. He's also buried his treasure that England wants to get a hold of. Out of all of Yellowbeards conquests (both women and on the high sees), he is arrested and charged with tax evasion. The English allow him to escape so that they can follow him and grab his treasure that he hid on a Caribbean island.
Along the way, he catches up with his wife played by Madeline Kahn and finds out he has a son. What Yellowbeard has to watch, is his old former mate, Mr. Moon played by the great actor, Peter Boyle whos sidekick was the lengendary Marty Feldman (Igor pronounced Eye-gor from Young Frakenstein). Who will find the treasure first, Yellowbeard, Mr. Moon and his crew, or Commander Clement (Eric Idle) and the Royal Navy?
The acting is funny as well as a small tidbit of one famous musician. The shark who was suppose to scare Mrs. Yellowbeard into telling Commander Clement where the treasure is, was none of than, David Bowie. Just like Super Fuzz, when I mention this movie, I get looks of, how can you like this movie???? LoL. Simple; it's enjoyable and funny. John Cleese, Eric Idle, Marty Feldman, Peter Boyle, Cheech and Chong, star in this cult classic that gets shoved under the carpet more than for its all around humor, slapstick, and Monty Pythonness take on pirates.
This is a great edition to anyones library who likes comedy, silliness, and enough laughs from this 25 year old movie.
Summary of Yellowbeard
YELLOWBEARD - DVD MovieYellowbeard, a comedy cast with the all-star comedians of the 1980s, is a unique, corny spoof on pirate films. Like a Mel Brooks movie, Yellowbeard's plot is a series of ridiculous events, á la Airplane, circulating around Yellowbeard's (Graham Chapman) discovery that he has an "intellectual" son. Brain versus brawn is the film's theme, as Yellowbeard is forced to take his kid on a booty-hunt, since the pirate's ex-wife, Betty (Madeline Kahn), tattooed the treasure map on their child's head. As the bumbling British, including Harvey "Blind" Pew (John Cleese) and Gilbert Murvin (Marty Feldman), sail The Royal Navy Frigate to trail Yellowbeard's ship, The Lady Edith, The Spanish Main, captained by El Nebuloso (Tommy Chong) and El Segundo (Cheech Marin) follows in close pursuit. Three ships in constant battle on the open seas make for multiple comedic situations reminiscent of Monty Python. Directed by Mel Damski (Charmed, Lois & Clark), Yellowbeard has a made-for-TV cheesiness, though the talent of the actors, not to mention its off-kilter British humor, rescues the film from utter stupidity. --Trinie Dalton
