Yellowbeard: Difference between revisions

* [[All-Star Cast]]: Graham Chapman in the title role, and a colorful lineup of comic and character actors supporting him: in alphabetical order, Peter Boyle, Cheech & Chong, John Cleese, Peter Cook, Marty Feldman, Michael Hordern, Eric Idle, Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, James Mason, Spike Milligan, Beryl Reid, and Susannah York. ''And'' an unbilled cameo by {{spoiler|David Bowie}}! It definitely qualifies.

* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: Betty and Yellowbeard's relationship seems to thrive on this, which is good because Yellowbeard ''loves'' rape.

'''Betty:''' Okay. It was half-cuddle, half-rape. }}

* [[Can't Get Away with Nuthin']]: Betty (Madeline Kahn) tells her son Dan (Martin Hewitt): "The last time I read a book, I was raped -- let that be a lesson to you."

* [[Crosscast Role]]: Queen Anne is played by Peter Bull (whom most viewers would know from ''Dr. Strangelove'', in which he played the Soviet ambassador).

* [[Cut Himself Shaving]]: A bar fight with Blind Pew leaves the entire tavern littered with corpses.

'''Betty:''' He fell on it. }}

* [[Daddy's Little Villain]]: Triola, daughter of the greedy religious leader El Nebuloso.

* [[Not-So-Harmless Villain]]: Dan, and Yellowbeard can't be more pleased when Dan "betrays" him.

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]:

'''Yellowbeard:''' I'm in disguise, you stupid tart! }}

** Also, Mr. Prostitute.

** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in one scene.

'''Captain Hughes:''' Get her off! }}

* [[Pirate]]

* [[The Stoner]]: Lord Lambourn. In keeping with the times, he's addicted to snuff.

* [[Sweet Polly Oliver]]: Spoofed. One of the ship's officers is named "Mr. Prostitute" and is an obvious woman with a fake mustache.

* [[Treasure Map]]

* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Dan and Yellowbeard, oh so much.

'''Yellowbeard:''' ''(disappointed)'' No, you wouldn't have you poncy little git! You're not the prawn of my loins, your mother's a bloody liar! ''(grins)'' That's what I liked about her! }}
