Pirate -themed action
Film starring
Geena Davis and directed by her then husband
Renny Harlin filmed in various locations around
Malta . It was released in
1995 .
Made the same year as '''' and ''
The Adventures Of Pluto Nash ''.
The film was originally due to co-star
Michael Douglas but he withdrew and was replaced by
Matthew Modine . Modine and Davis have been honest during interviews about the inflated egos and horrors surrounding the production of the film.
- Oliver Reed was originally cast in a small part. On his first and last day on set, he suggested his character should be caught Masturbating , then turn around and lick egg whites off his knuckles. He was replaced by actor George Murcell .
- According to an interview with Empire Magazine , Davis and Harlin were both huge fans of V8 juice. When filming wrapped, the crew discovered a truck full of unopened cartons of V8 juice. Modine saw this as indicative of the wasteful excesses of the production.
- The British release of the film was originally rated (no patron under the age of 15). Distributors decided to target a family audience and so over a minute of film was cut to get a '''PG''' certificate. {Link without Title}
