(A typical Hollywood movie costs between $15 million and $80 million, with budgets going as high as $200 million.) The drawback here was the acting. Surprisingly, the costumes, sets, backgrounds, music and special effects were fantastic, especially considering that this movie was reportedly made for only $1 million. In reviewing the R-rated version, I tried to forget that this movie was made by the porn industry, to keep my review fair.
At Blockbuster, there is a big 'R rated, not for children' sticker on the case to keep people from confusing it with Pirates of the Caribbean. I don't know of a store that sells both versions. In case you don't know, there are two versions of Pirates: The R-rated version (which can be bought at and Target, but not Wal-Mart, and can be rented at Blockbuster), and the X-rated version (which can only be bought/rented at adult-fare stores like and ).
