Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
D'Amato shot this back-to-back with 'Pirates' (1999), reusing the same ship set and several cast members in different wigs.
This arrived during the brief late-90s boom for high-budget adult-adjacent pirate films, riding coattails of 'Cutthroat Island's failure and 'Pirates of the Caribbean's pre-existence as a theme park ride.
