Having survived a 20-year incarceration for tax evasion, the notorious pirate Yellowbeard (Graham Chapman, Monty Python's Life of Brian) escapes to claim his hidden treasure after the RoyaI Navy imposes a bogus additional prison sentence. Gathering a crew of miscreants and ne're-do-welIs (AKA his friend and companions), YeIlowbeard sets out to locate the treasure map (which has been inexplicabIy 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 Boyle, 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. |
