posticon "Pirates of Treasure Island"


Just wanted to let y'all know that I wasted my money on this piece of garbage. The swordplay here is absolutely childlike. The story is ridiculous. Do not waste your time!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: "Pirates of Treasure Island"


Having giant bugs wandering around contributing absolutely nothing to the plot didn't help, either. Too much talk in the first half, as well. Plus the stupidest bad guy in pirate movie history (and it wasn't Lance Henriksen) gets his 15 seconds of fame.

But I did post a couple of clips from the movie, just to be fair.

Way, way off topic, but...

Personally, I liked "PoTI". But their budget was too low, and the action doesn't really kick in until about an hour in. The ladies are fun to watch, though.

Oh Lord.....you're killin' me here.....of course, not as badly as Lance Henrikson's Long John Silver.....not to mention the giant bugs, which I still haven't figured out!! The out-takes (on DVD) are good, though.
