Section: Open Air - Movie Pirates
A swashbuckling outing in which Terence Hill plays the dreaded pirate Blackie, renowned for his bloody raids and nefarious doings... But since it is bright-eyed, goofy-grinned Hill, he’s actually a really honorable guy (hmmm, it’s beginning to sound a bit familiar, isn’t it?). Bud Spencer is one of Blackie’s rivals, Captain Skull, who wants nothing more than to rid the seas of Blackie. Fun stuff, if a bit dated, with the requisite barroom brawls, fancy swordplay and honest-to-god ship-to-ship warfare.
Cast: Terence Hill, Bud Spencer, George Martin
