Amazon.com:
Yellowbeard, a comedy cast with the all-star comedians of the 1980s, is a unique, corny spoof on pirate films. Like a Mel Brooks movie, Yellowbeard's plot is a series of ridiculous events, á la Airplane, circulating around Yellowbeard's (Graham Chapman) discovery that he has an 'intellectual' son. Brain versus brawn is the film's theme, as Yellowbeard is forced to take his kid on a booty-hunt, since the pirate's ex-wife, Betty (Madeline Kahn), tattooed the treasure map on their child's head. As the bumbling British, including Harvey 'Blind' Pew (John Cleese) and Gilbert Murvin (Marty Feldman), sail The Royal Navy Frigate to trail Yellowbeard's ship, The Lady Edith, The Spanish Main, captained by El Nebuloso (Tommy Chong) and El Segundo (Cheech Marin) follows in close pursuit. Three ships in constant battle on the open seas make for multiple comedic situations reminiscent of Monty Python. Directed by Mel Damski (Charmed, Lois & Clark), Yellowbeard has a made-for-TV cheesiness, though the talent of the actors, not to mention its off-kilter British humor, rescues the film from utter stupidity. --Trinie Dalton
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A classic parody
A great cast, original writing and a Treasure Island based parody make this movie a classic. Marty Feldman in one of his best.
Rating: - comedy mania
This movie is the ultimate level of the Monty Python genre, which also includes a host of other major comics, marty feldman and cheech and chong, to name a few. Their antics are beyond superlatives, the comedy is racey/saucy but genuinely funny. The sets are tremendous as is the acting, there should have been a sequel.
Rating: - Cult status
All my family and many of my friends can quote chunks of this movie.Once seen never forgotten ,some lovely cameos ,David bowie as the cabin boy, Spike Milligan as the Queens Messenger a whos who of British comediens in a terrific farce.See it and love it.
Rating: - so funny I wet myself
Monty Python, Cast From most Mel Brooks films, And Cheech and Chong. If you're looking for in dpeth plot lines and suspense you've come to the wrong place. If you want cameos and one liners that will make you laugh so hard you'll fart, then watch this movie.
Watch for David Bowie's appearance, and make sure you watch more than once as you'll too busy laughing at one gag to catch the next.
Rating: - A Winner for Yellowbeard fans!!
While not a HUGE fan of Cheech & Chong, thank goodness for them!! As you can see from the cover, I doubt any of us mad keen Yellowbeard fans would of had a hope of EVER getting this on DVD without their popularity in the U.S. Those of you who managed to get a video copy of this (mine was a extremely ex rental copy -- so you can imagine the quality!) If you have a video copy... burn it as this is obviously enormously better quality, no patch of black in the middle of the film like the video. Those ... Read More
