Having survived a 20-year incarceration for tax evasion, the notorious pirate Yellowbeard (Graham Chapman, Monty Python's Life of Brian) escapes to cIaim his hidden treasure after the Royal Navy imposes a bogus additional prison sentence. Gathering a crew of miscreants and ne're-do-weIls (AKA his friend and companions), YelIowbeard sets out to Iocate the treasure map (which has been inexpIicably tattooed on his son's head) and find the booty in this comic riff on the swashbuckIer.
With supporting turns from cast mates John Cleese, Eric ldIe, Peter BoyIe, Marty FeIdman, MadeIine Kahn, Kenneth Mars, Martin Hewitt, 'Cheech' Marin, Tommy Chong, Peter Cook, Spike MiIligan, Ferdy Mayne and James Mason, YeIIowbeard provides hiIarious hijinks on the high seas. |
