DVD Reviews of Yellowbeard
DVD 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! (-:
DVD Review: Monte Python meets Mel Brooks in this pirate comedy
Summary: 3 Stars
3 of 5 stars for the movie comedy Yellowbeard. Monte Python meets Mel Brooks. Well this comedy parity of pirate movies combines the talents of Monte Python (Idle, Chapman, Cleese) with Mel Brooks' team (Mars, Kahn, Feldman, Boyle). The result is a funny lightweight comedy. Richly photographed, lots of sight gags and funny dialog. This is truly a turn your brain off, sit back and relax funny movie! If you are looking for a deep plot with lots of drama or suspense, don't look here! Yes, I do recommend this!DVD Review: Funny!
Summary: 4 Stars
Great movie with Monty Python and Cheech & Chong. It was great at the theatre.DVD Review: Great flick
Summary: 5 Stars
Saw this when I was a kid, and loved it. Was a bit afraid it might have lost its shine during the 20-odd years that have passed, but I still thinnk it a great comedy. Hillarious scenes when the guards start "faking" their deaths. :-)DVD Review: Unedited Version Needed
Summary: 3 Stars
The American film release was heavily edited for content; what we need is the British version of the film, which had much more adult humor than one could even imagine. Then, you will see a timeless classic that represents the Monty Python sense of humor we all know and love. Until then, this film is merely average, as much of the humor is lost.
Description of Yellowbeard
For twelve years, Yellowbeard (Graham Chapman) has looted the Spanish Main, making men eat their lips and swallow their hearts. Caught and convicted -- for tax evasion! -- he's sentenced to 20 years in St. Victim's Prison for the Extremely Naughty. In a scheme to confiscate his fabulous treasure, the Royal Navy allows him to escape and follows him to the Spanish Main, where saucy tarts, lisping demigods and some awful puns and punishments await. Starring a who's who of comic cutups and cutthroats including Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, John Cleese, Cheech and Chong, Marty Feldman, Peter Cook, Madeline Kahn and more!!!Yellowbeard, a comedy cast with the all-star comedians of the 1980s, is a unique, corny spoof on pirate films. Like a Mel Brooks movie, Yellowbeard's plot is a series of ridiculous events, ? la Airplane, circulating around Yellowbeard's (Graham Chapman) discovery that he has an "intellectual" son. Brain versus brawn is the film's theme, as Yellowbeard is forced to take his kid on a booty-hunt, since the pirate's ex-wife, Betty (Madeline Kahn), tattooed the treasure map on their child's head. As the bumbling British, including Harvey "Blind" Pew (John Cleese) and Gilbert Murvin (Marty Feldman), sail The Royal Navy Frigate to trail Yellowbeard's ship, The Lady Edith, The Spanish Main, captained by El Nebuloso (Tommy Chong) and El Segundo (Cheech Marin) follows in close pursuit. Three ships in constant battle on the open seas make for multiple comedic situations reminiscent of Monty Python. Directed by Mel Damski (Charmed, Lois & Clark), Yellowbeard has a made-for-TV cheesiness, though the talent of the actors, not to mention its off-kilter British humor, rescues the film from utter stupidity. --Trinie Dalton
