Made me want to play Monkey Island again


Some friends and I were in a piratey mood and decided on this one, bought from a discount crate in a convenience store. The first swashbuckling scene, however, with Terence Hill and that other guy, played out almost exactly like the sword fights in the first Monkey Island game. Even the movements looked similar. They fence back and forth, with timely pauses to exchange witty retorts. This made all of us mates want to play the Secret of Monkey Island again, and so we did, as Monkey Island was now a lot more tempting than the film.

More tempting than 'Blackie The Pirate'!!! It is one of the better pirate movies and stars Terence Hill and Bud Spencer! Take your blasphemy elsewhere, knave!

If you are sick of the ''I love Jesus 100% signature'', copy and paste this into your profile!

hear, hear, to tell you the truth pirate movies has always just bored the heck out of me, but they make me think of the old terrific computer game monkey island, one of the later in the game series was also featured on other platforms like a playstation, but i'm tempted to agree with both you two (by the way, it's said on the dvd that hill had developed quite a skill for this sort of thing from his youth), though this was clearly before hill and spencer's movies began to be adapted to suit other countries, besides that, the opening credit also do look to be added on later, but i was surprised what good picture quality the dvd had, the movie includes some amazing setting though editing look like you're switching between movies, which holds up more as a school play, today this is being sold as a hill / spencer movie while some dvd's only has hill on the cover, anything else is misleading, i find it strange the old theatrical poster features spencer on it though, my guess is the movie premiered after their success of trinity and was a way to cash in on it, also, strangely enough someone else is playing the brute here while bud plays drama, i did not see that coming, overall the movie could have used more of bud's screen impact. the dvd issue i got of this contains some bonus material in italian.

shapes and hips walk,
suit try and cover up,
but dont stand a chance,
as clothing long to break,
she strutted around,
and a button almost hit my eye.
