Captain Lust

People do not believe me when I say there is a musical pirate porno film. But believe this, if you are an adult with pirate fantasies, this could place the swash back in your buckle. I saw this over twenty years ago and it still tickles my fancy. While the story line itself is thin (Big surprise with a porn), the decidedly different take is refreshing and memorable. Scenes like the rescue of the island princess before she could become a virgin sacrifice and the heroine disguised as a male are cliché jokes, but they work in the context. If this ever comes out on DVD, I am so there to get a copy and relive a moment of misspent youth with my best first mate.

This porno has by modern genre standards remarkable production values - costumes, pirate ship, extras and all. But the thing that really stands out in my mind is the song celebrating our title hero. "Oh Captain Lust! He is so mean and horn-i-oooo!" Very catchy, very very catchy.

Unfortunately, production values alone are not enough and the film is let down by its script - there is not really any story to tell. With their budget, the film makers could have created a truly remarkable piece of movie erotica. Alas, they created little more than a mere curiosity.
