Movie Reviews of Yellowbeard
Movie Review: I have harboured my original VHS version from my friends for long enough...
Summary: 5 Stars
This has been an all-time favorite of my family's ever since it was released. I'm not sure if it's just our style of humor, but I can make my Mom cry laughing to this day just by saying "She's not feeling very well today, so I should kneel up wind of her" in the right accent. I never knew if it was the line or the combination with the sight of the Queen herself until I watched it again on DVD. Now I know.
The combination of sight and sound make this a comedic masterpiece.
But beware... you may have to listen closely for some of the jokes.
For example - there is a play on words about whether Yellowbeard's treasure is on an island or an atoll, to which Lord Lambourn and Dr. Gilpin state "not at all". Silly, I know. But that's the kind of movie this is.
Also - keep an eye open for a young David Bowie during the Pigeon scene after Mansell leaves Commander Clement's cabin.
Movie Review: Still Hysterical After All These Years!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie the other night on MGM HD and was immediately reminded
of how funny it still is, some 26 yrs after it was first released in 1983.
A lot of comedic greats are in this...Cheech & Chong, Marty Feldman in one of his
last roles before his sudden death, Peter Boyle aka Frank Barone & Young Frankenstein,
John Cleese, Monty Python, Madeline Kahn and many more!
The whole premise is a comedic send up of all the old 30's and 40's pirate movies,
but with a slightly modern (for that time) slant to it.
I laughed out loud several times throughout, so the gags still hold up.
My favorite character is the blind man with the superhuman hearing!--Still kills me!
The Yellowbeard character is hysterical too!
A Great Addition To Your DVD Collection! (-:
Movie Review: A Must have for any serious Monty Python Fan.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my personal favorite Monty Python movie of all time. My friends and I are constantly quoting it to each other (at appropriate times of course).
For years, you couldn't even find a copy of this movie, unless it was a used VHS rental copy for about $35-$50 on ebay. It was FINALLY released to DVD this last year. There isn't much in the way of special features, but that's ok. The quality is excellent. I didn't just buy one copy, I bought THREE and had the other two sent to friends that I had told about this movie, but had never seen it.
The Full Monty Python Cast, Plus Madeline Kahn, as well as Cheech and Chong? A pirate theme? Arrrrgh! It's a no brainer. If you enjoyed "The Quest for the Holy Grail", or "The life of Brian", this is a must have addition to your collection.
Movie Review: 'I'll kill anyone who get's in the way of me killing anyone.'
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Movie Review: I wish he'd gotten to see it
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this film for my husband who had been asking for it for years. I finally found a copy in time for Christmas this year, but he died two days before unexpectedly. Please get this one and enjoy it. Give yourself a laugh every single day. And when someone you love asks for something, as long as it's reasonable, do all you can to make them happy because you'll regret it if you dont. You have no idea how bad it hurt to see this hilarious movie arrive knowing it was too late to bring him the joy I'd intended.
Marty Feldman died right after this movie was made and it is a fitting last project for such a funny guy. Critics hated it, which means Feldman fans, and fans of B movies in general will love it. Buy it today!
