Rating: 3/5
I saw this movie when my dad rented it on VHS as a kid. He hated the film, and I was too young to have opinions, so I hated it. Thankfully, Owen wanted to revisit it, so here we are.
This movie is dumb as hell, but when it’s funny, it hits. And the sets are so Jason and the Argonauts-coded! I was surprised at how short it is—weirdly if they cut out the cabin boy stuff, this movie would be pretty good! Well, and all the misogyny.
Some quotes I enjoyed:
— Fret not, Daddy! I'll be with you in a saint's whisper.
— These pipes are clean! And how!
— Half man plus half shark equals a complete gentleman
