Watched this movie over and over in the 90s playing LEGO pirates as a kid, such a classic! Its like a prequel to Pirates of the Caribbean and ultimate pirate movie classic. RIP Burt Lancaster!
Burt Lancaster,was the perfect,actor,he could do it all,Drama,Action,Love story's,Westerns,Thrillers,comedy,War movies,& was very ackrobatic,Hollywood,doesn't produce actors like this anymore,RIP..Burt Lancaster
This is one of my favorite movies I watch during my childhood years. Later another similar movie was made with Gina Davis starring as a pirates daughter, but filmed in the same mode. Burt landcaster also starred in Vera Cruz
While Pirates of the Caribbean doesn't suck, it's certainly far from the best. Personally, I would call The Sea Hawk from 1940 the best pirate film of all time. Even so, The Crimson Pirate is easily among the best.
Born too late....My fave Errol Flynn,50 yrs before I was born.Tyrone Power, Don Ameche, Basil Rathbone, Ceasar Romero... Good with the sword......Love these movies....Swashbuckles , one and all.Such wonderful fencing....Pathos
He really has a strong New York accent. He grew up on 106th Street in East Harlem. You can tell because he is not pronouncing his R's at the end of words. I like it.
This is where “Star Wars” came from. It’s astonishing to think that this film dates from the early 50s: the pacing, the tone, the overall irreverence is so far beyond other swashbucklers. Errol Flynn’s got nothing on Burt. I’d love to see Old hungover try some of these stunts!
I loved this movie as a kid. I think the mute sidekick was named Piccolo. I tried years later to visit a real former pirate village on the Caribbean side of Nicaragua, in the autonomous region. It was a very bad idea. Gringoes were unwelcome. Arrived in the morning, left in a hurry before dark. Crazy place, so many ethnicities. Dangerous. Named after a famous pirate captain.
This is one of the earliest movies I remember from my childhood. My parents took this movie away from me. My understanding at the time was because they thought it encouraged homosexuality. TBH I really have no idea, I'll have to watch it again.
this is another lesson in how Lancaster's movie relationships differed from some of the other fun movies like this; you see it in I walk Alone and Flame and the Arrow. There comes a point where his character, charging headlong through life, meets up with a woman who in one scene makes his character think, perhaps for the first time in his life, instead of just pursuing his fun. In I Walk Alone there is a beautiful 10-20 second stretch of film where he goes from hard-faced anger through a split second of surprise when he realizes that the woman isn't just acting, to real sympathy. I don't care how many takes they needed to get that scene right, it's marvelous.
In Italia, la sequenza iniziale non è mai stata proiettata al cinema, il film iniziava dai titoli di testa...uno dei tanti tagli arbitrari perpetrati alla 7° arte
When I watched it for the first time, in the age of 13, I was excited - best movie ever! But when I watched it again three years later, I was rather disappointed - I found the movie just silly and boring. And I'm extremely fond of pirate and swashbuckling movies. But it is not an adventure film, more a slapstick comedy - perhaps I expected just the wrong kind of movie.
I used to watch this as a kid with my dad. The score, the lines, the ridiculousness, the mute guy... iconic
Did you watch The Flame and the Arrow?
I loved this movie as a kid and still in my Top 20. It is just fun movie.
The reason they decided his character to be mute played by Cravat is due to the actor having a really thick Brooklyn accent lol
So did Burt !
I always wanted to . . .

Burt Lancaster in his prime, all teeth and shoulders! A magnificent figure of a man who became a really great actor as he grew older.

I think it is his circus partner and friend that steals the show in this movie.
I'm with you. These great old films should be free to relive in our hearts, but everyone milks every dime. But they can't steal our memories.

This is one of my favourite Burt Lancaster films
Best movie ever.
Burt Lancaster was brilliant in that
Crimson Pirate looks like a damn good adventure film! Who better than BURT LANCASTER to curse the Black Pearl!!!
it is!
Somebody then placed that cursed Black Pearl inside a Dead Man's Chest.
Best pirate movie....ever! Fun because it doesn't take itself too seriously.
+Phil Benza Lots of pirate movies better than this one, but it is ONE of the best.
Got that right and because Burt Lancaster did all the stunts himself and was actually in a really good shape
Name me one better than this one and don't say pirates of the caribbean because it suck's
While Pirates of the Caribbean doesn't suck, it's certainly far from the best. Personally, I would call The Sea Hawk from 1940 the best pirate film of all time. Even so, The Crimson Pirate is easily among the best.
Burt lancaster was so amazing in crimson pirates
Honestly must be one of the best looking men that’s ever lived.
I saw this movie when i was 12 years old 1955 in Rasht - iran and loved it.
thankyou!
Ｉlove Burt Lancaster!
Loved this when I was a kid
As a northern Englishman I love hearing that gather round lads n lasses as weird as it sounds from an American it still works, Burt was the business
Love burt. Hollywood knows how to use burts talent.
One of the major mainstays of saturday and sunday classic aftertoon/evening matinees on the BBC2 especially during the 1980's and early 1990's.
Well that nails down my age very accurately, loved this film as a child.
Unabashed fun! Burt knew how to make great movies!
Born too late....My fave Errol Flynn,50 yrs before I was born.Tyrone Power, Don Ameche, Basil Rathbone, Ceasar Romero... Good with the sword......Love these movies....Swashbuckles , one and all.Such wonderful fencing....Pathos
I feel you...sigh💔
Take a gander at Burt Lancaster in his pomp! Brilliant!
The 50s: the Golden Age of Adventure Movies
"If you know it was bolted you must have tried it. And if you tried it you know why it was bolted".....hahahaha....dead !!!
Like many, I watched this as a child and loved it 😊
What a movie!! Love it. Haven't seen it in years
I love this film
Always loved this movie and its comedy. It was interesting that around the 131 minute mark there's an ocean liner in the background
Questo e' uno dei tanti film della mia gioventù ,( che oggi purtroppo non fanno più) PECCATO!!!
BEST PIRATE MOVIE EVER ❤❤❤❤❤❤LOVE IT.
Continuity editor goofed. Cruise ship sails behind the ships in two scenes !
He really has a strong New York accent. He grew up on 106th Street in East Harlem. You can tell because he is not pronouncing his R's at the end of words. I like it.
The accent problem is why his circus partner and friend played a mute in both this movie and that medieval movie before it.
I love this movie ❤ still watching it today 2023
LANCESTOR was our hero me and my dad i really miss these days.
0:14 OMG, that smile made me fall in love 😍

PIRATES, SWASHBUCKLING, MEN WITHOUT EYELINER
Roger Moore imitated Burt in all his Bond films.
