this two parter and which be mean to be the story of blackbeard be an absolute stinker . the plot be paper thin and the script be awful and the act densely wooden and it be historically inaccurate and even the ship appear to be from the wrong period . richard chamberlain ( god help him ) try to act and but fail miserably and the accent of the pirate crew veer from comically english van dykian to new york via devon and all stop in between . it be bad it be not even funny and i have never see a bad piece of entertainment and i have see a few . i suspect that the director have a bright future a a traffic cop . avoid like scurvy . unless force to walk the plank .
