This 'movie' has so many unintentionally hilarious and off-putting things in it that the whole thing is weirdly mesmerizing.
The opening credits that say "Color by American" something or other only to have the entire film be in black and white...Captain Kidd's devil-like facial hair, his ridiculous, smutty shirtless scenes...Eva Gabor's accent and acting, the scene of her in the mushroom shaped bathtub with the dead tiger carpet staring up at her, the storyline of her being sent to seduce Kidd...the 'cook' with a hook he is obviously holding onto underneath his suspiciously bulged sleeve...the 'lord' with the distracting star-shaped mole on his face...the humuncular executioner who isn't placing the noose properly...the lame, fake, contrived fight scenes...the stilted Shakespearean dialogue...the pious Puritan pirate...It's almost too much for the brain to handle.
Believe it or not, it's almost all played seriously.
