a5c7b9f00b Morgan Adams' father's dying gifts to her are his pirate ship and a one-third part of a map of a treasure island - unusually inscribed on his scalp. Thinking herself in need of a Latin scholar to unravel the map, she buys learned slave William Shaw and sets off in search of the rest of the map. However, it is Shaw, obviously with plans of his own, who gets the second part. He's somewhat easier to deal with, though, than the holder of the last part - Morgan's less-than-loving piratical uncle Dawg.
A female pirate and her companion race against their rivals to find a hidden island that contains a fabulous treasure.
I don't see why this movie gets so much praise from reviewers here at IMDB. Cutthroat Island, while not horrible is far from a film that deserves praise. Many people love the movie simply because it has pirates and things that go bang.<br/><br/>I personally couldn't enjoy this movie because it is rather weak in general. The story is nothing new or remotely original. The script is rather weak highlighted by tons of "quips". Also the female captain twist is barely that. It just takes away from the whole "pirate" feel of the film. Still all was not bad in this film. The effects were well done, notably the ship to ship fighting. The scenery and score were also very good. When it all boils down, these things alone cannot save a weak film.<br/><br/>In general I would recommend this film to a die hard "pirate" film fan, or someone of similar interest. For everyone else there are much better things to be done with our time. This movie is mindless action with a pirate feel. I plan on seeing Pirates of the Caribbean this weekend. I have a feeling this movie will please pirate fans, and those who crave a little more than those crazy characters in our films.
I've never quite understood why Cutthroat Island was such a commercial failure. The movie is pure fun, and then some. And furthermore it is in a genre which is much too-little visited. Frankly, the only other pirate/high-seas movie I can recall seeing is a tv-series chronicling the great Captain Cook's journeys. And that isn't even a real "pirate"-thing. True, Cutthroat Island is nothing than a saturday afternoon adventure yarn, but that's exactly why I think it was so great. Stereotypical characters, an incredible truthfulness to the genre and an *incredible* score - I mean, it's Indiana Jones in the pirate era! The general flaming this movie has received goes beyond my understanding…
It's mindless entertainment, but its critical and commercial failure doomed the pirate genre to a watery grave.
In order to get the PG rating for the theatrical release, more than a minute had to be removed, four more seconds got lost on the VHS release. Something that is also very interesting about the British VHS are the many instances of audio censorships. Punches, kicks and other fight audio effects were partially removed or just turned down in volume. This usually does not even catch the viewer's ear, however, all in all a certain censoring method can be made out. Interestingly enough, not a single one of these changes were applied to the British DVD version.<br/><br/>When the DVD was released in 2003, it would have been possible to release it uncut with the BBFC 15 rating, but the producers decided against it. The version that was given to the BBFC was already censored. Some of the previously cut scenes were put back into the movie, but others were removed instead. Still, one more scene (a headbutt) had to be removed in order to have the censoring agency let the film pass through without complaints.
