Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
It's been a long time since Hollywood gave us a decent pirate movie, and that by itself is one reason for liking Swashbuckler.

Chicago Sun-Times
Swashbuckler is an attempt to spoof the pirate movies of the 1930s and 1940s -- an Errol Flynn picture without Errol Flynn, and a funny that's not a funny.

Gannett News Service
The resulting film is a self-conscious attempt that survives only through the good will of the audience.

Los Angeles Free Press
... just a dumb film boasting broadly bad performances by a good cast, some pleasant scenery, the pleasure of watching a real ship tossing on a real ocean ...

People who go to this film will know exactly what to expect, and they are not going to be disappointed.

Several fine performers are perversely miscast in this movie.

Product Description:
Red Ned Lynch (Robert Shaw) heroically saves his friend Nick Debrett (James Earl Jones) from death at the hands of the authorities. Taking on the stunning, saber-saavy Jane Barnett (Genevieve Bujold) as a partner-in-adventure, the two men set out to rescue the citizens of Jamaica from the iron grip of nefarioius Lord Durant (Peter Boyle). The trio thrust and parry their way through a series of action-packed, entertaining escapades in this romantic pirate tale.
