Movie Title: Yellowbeard Yellowbeard is available for streaming or downloading. |
I saw this film in the theater when it was originally released in 1983 and it has been one of my favorites ever since. What is amazing is that it bombed at the box office and was panned by the critics. This movie is hilarious, and has to be seen in the Monty Python frame of mind. Chapman is priceless, Madeline Kahn is unforgettable, John Cleese is brilliant, Cheech and Chong are hilarious, and Marty Feldman is a comic genius. I have friends over every year to see this film and it’s become a “Rocky Horror Picture show” type of event complete with costumes, antics, quote contests, and other silliness. It is a shame this isn’t available on DVD. Most of the VHS versions were poor quality, and my copy is certainly on its last legs. If you enjoy Monty Python, this definitely belongs in your collection while it’s still somewhat available.
This movie is far under-rated in the realm of the Python movies. Seems to me it didn’t get enough PR or something because as a comedy film alone it is hilarious. It stars Graham Chapman (Yellowbead a crude, nasty, out of touch, murderous pirate that kills anyone that gets in the way of his killing anyone), John Cleese (Blind Pew who has the most acute hearing in the world), Eric Idle, Marty Feldman, Cheech and Chong (Spanish morons), Madeline Kahn (the unfaithful Mrs. Yellowbeard), Peter Boyle (Yellowbeard’s adversary and former ship-mate, Moon), and James Mason (a cruely funny, overly sadastic, extreme Mutiny on the Bounty captain type). It is set in the year 1707 and starts out with Yellowbeard nearing his release after 15 years in an English prison, and of course everyone wants to know where Yellowbeard hid his pirate treasure. Yellowbeard escapes the prison after his sentence is unfairly increased (to get him angry enough to escape on purpose) just before his parole and the rest movie is based on his attempt to avoid beng imprisoned again while being chased by the limp-wristed British authorities and going on a funny non-sensical killing, raping (because he likes rape) and pilliging rampage tryng to recover the treasure he hid so long ago. Of course the British authorities and Moon are after the treasure too 
This is a classic and should have been released on DVD a long time ago. This is Python stuff at it’s best with the nastiest Python humor anywhere! Someone please pick up on it and make a DVD of it soon as I have only used rental resale VHS version (accch!) copy of it and would love to see it as it was meant to be seen- clearly and with good THX sound.
