Quiz
Oliver Reed was originally cast as Mordechai Fingers. He was fired after getting in a bar fight and after allegedly attempting to moon at Geena Davis. Matthew Modine has said in an interview: "I'd heard these stories about Oliver Reed I think it is all bunk. Oliver was a gentleman. Sure, he had a reputation as a man who enjoyed a drink. But only off set. His reputation as an actor is stellar. Professional. I stand by that. God rest his soul."

Blooper
Through her scenes on Cutthroat Island, tan lines from sunglasses are visible on Morgan's face.

Citazioni
Dawg Brown: [Morgan, knocked off her feet and backed against a bulkhead, is brandishing a burning stake from the debris] You plannin' to fight me with that little stick?
Morgan Adams: No, Uncle. With this!
[Morgan withdraws a canvas tarpaulin reveals a loaded cannon and lights it, pointing at Dawg]
Morgan Adams: Bad Dawg!

Versioni alternative
To receive a PG certificate the UK cinema version was cut by 72 seconds, with a further 4 seconds of cuts for home video. These changes included numerous edits to fight scenes, Morgan's breast being caressed during a body search, neck and arm breaks, a head butt and kicks to bodies. Almost all the impact sounds in the major fight scenes were also reduced or removed from the soundtrack. A similarly-edited pre-cut version was submitted to the BBFC in 2003 for DVD release by Momentum Pictures, which restored some of the original edits and sound effects but was still cut by an additional one second to obtain a PG rating under then-BBFC policy.

not fair

This film was responsible for the bankruptcy of the company behind it, Carolco. Which is a shame, but the film is not as bad as it is rumoured to be. Far from it. It's above average oldfashioned entertainment.

The soundtrack alone is a standout. Sweeping and powerful, it serves the plotline well and it's a joy to listen to on its own. Although the characters aren't among the most complex and well defined in movie history, they work (with a couple of exceptions, among them Maury Chaykin as John Reed, whose acting just doesn't match the tone of the film). And then there's the beautifully reconstructed pirate ships, well choreographed action sequences and terrific special effects.

In short this is a film that has an unfair rep and it is really worth your time. A great warmup for Pirates of the Caribbean (which hasn't opened yet in this neck of the woods).
