“Not only a battle of wills, but a battle of bullets, swords, and concealed mantraps…a rollicking hubbub.”       

– Graeme Clark, The Spinning Image

“Christopher Lee gets some good screen time as a cultured French pirate clad completely in black, including his eye patch…Oliver Reed gets some attention as one of the pirate crew.”    

– Glenn Erickson, DVDTalk.com
