Tony's Comments :
"Morgan The Pirate" is Steve Reeves at his best in this rollicking action-filled pirate adventure. In the tradition of all good Saturday matinees "Morgan The Pirate" is high adventure at its best, it has all the action, romance, suspense, and exotic locations to keep you entertained for a solid 95 minutes. The film features many well-staged action sequences including the now famous duel between Reeves and the leader of a rival pirate gang. Morgan is challenged by the pirate chief to a knife fight, but when Reeves take off his shirt revealing his exceptional build, the pirate chief decides to switch the fight to swords. The exciting swordfight begins inside a bar but eventually spills out onto a beach. This lively adventure traces the events in the life of Henry Morgan who goes from slave, to pirate and eventually to governor of panama. Colourful costumes, authentic looking pirates ships and a fantastic music score combine to set up the atmosphere beautifully. "Morgan The Pirate" is hard to find on video but if you can get your hands on a copy it is well worth a viewing.
