Before... In this action-packed adventure film, a female pirate named Morgan Adams fights off her villainous uncle while attempting to retrieve a buried treasure hidden away on Cutthroat Island. Before Morgan's pirate father dies of a wound obtained in battle, he tells her about the hidden riches and the map that will lead her to them. Morgan assumes command of her father's ship and sets off to find the treasure. To help her accomplish her mission, she turns to William Shaw, an educated slave who is the only one who can interpret the part of the map written in Latin. However, Morgan's evil Uncle Dawg and his band of swashbuckling henchmen stand in their way. Plenty of sword-fighting action ensues before the treasure can be found. [More]

It's an Errol Flynn movie with breasts. Geena Davis is one of the few actresses in Hollywood with physical stature to pull off a part like this (hard to imagine Melanie Griffith as a pirate) and Renny Harlin just like to blow stuff up. What more could y
