one of my fav movies

Saw this at the movies with my parents. It was great fun! No idea why it bombed.

Does this count as THT?

This is one of my favorites!!

Apparently she and her husband (the director) really liked V8. Supposedly a large chunk of the budget went towards the drink. After shooting the crew found pallets of the stuff.

That would be a very bad idea. If fired, you'd burn the shit out of your knee and likely brand your thigh from the barrel heat. Now, if it was simply a holster to draw from, you'd have something, but firing from that position would be a big owie

A ship. I find myself being fired upon by an entire ship!
LostWolff
A movie that bankrupted a studio,

Aye, looters and pillagers also. Shame too, Carolco made some good films.

MOR-GONE!

In early 1996, shortly after it came, I was in grade 8 (first year of high school in Australia, at the time). Weekly inter-school sport was cancelled for our grade, so they borrowed a copy of this movie from a local cinema and had us all watch it as a replacement for the afternoon. Kid-me was mildly entertained.

Now that's a strap on!

What ever happened to Geena Davis? She used to be in movies but she's not in movies anymore. She's attractive enough but when she smiles you see too much gum. Not enough tooth to gum ratio.
VibratingNipples
the movie bombed hard and it ruined her chance of coming back. sad ending
fudgycurmudgeon
What a gross and unnecessary appraisal of her superficial merit.

Its a quote from Family Guy.

Ah. I’ve never been a fan, but I won’t hold it against you.

I want this outfit

Rip knee

A thick peice of leather stitched in between the thigh and barrel would be advisable. It would also aim it slightly away from the kneecap which is good.
brizio
Ya serious powder burns. Yikes
CptTacolicious
3rd degree burns in seconds with this one simple trick! Burn victims hate her!!

I swear I paid good money to see this movie in the theatre but I don't remember a blessed thing about it.

This sent me down a rabbit-hole. Cutthroat island holds the Guinness world record for biggest box office bomb, and put Carolco Pictures out of business. I'm going to give it a watch, since it seems to have a cult following.
NedGentz
Terrible movie. She is awesome but her ex-husband makes shitty movies

He made Die Hard tho.

You could go on a game show and win more in one go than this movie made in its opening weekend.

I thought it was a good movie, but it bombed fucking HARD.
JayAdan
To be fair, you were wrong about it being a good movie. It's okay, though. I like some stuff that's pretty shitty. To each their own.
therealalansmithee
Still bombing
trikucian
I saw it recently and it was way too cheesy and way too long. Apparently it killed pirate movies until pirates of the carribean came along
blinkonceforyes
They marketed it poorly and initial reviews bombed so no one saw it
whatsisname
I thought so too, but I wonder if it's because I was in elementary school when it came out.
LtKernelPopcorn
Have you watched it recently? It... doesn't hold up well.
TrueLegateDamar
Love the part where Geena outshuffles a 4-horse wagon galloping at full speed.
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
Just watched it for the first time. It's fun
al3xinw0nderland0000
Please elaborate? Idk whats wrong with it
LtKernelPopcorn
Oh, don't get me wrong. It had fantastic production value for the time, altho some of the practical effects were... meh. But the acting is pretty mediocre (despite the cast) and there is a *lot* of cringey dialogue. Some of the fight scenes have terrible choreography (delayed reactions, punches obviously missing by a mile) and some stunts are just laughably bad because many of them were done by the actors and not professional stuntmen.
verukt89
New neither I love it. Just watched it the other day.
verukt89
Me*** but yeah people rip on it and I guess it wasn't appreciated when it came out, but my family loved it. We watched it all the time.
chefsoda
Took down the studio and most of her career, but it really wasn't particularly bad
rareunicornmeat
That's because it was the cost. You could make the case it was Pirates of the Caribbean before Pirates of the Caribbean both in scope and budget. Obvious Pirates didn't have as much problems as Cutthroat, but I enjoyed them.
KilliK69
and killed her marriage with the director of the film.
SergeyPrkl
Well, here in FInland more than 50% of marriages dies anyway, and he is a Finn. Geena though still visits Finland, i think i read somewhere, she has a island cabin somewhere east of Helsinki Archipelago. I bet it is Porvoo archipelago. Easy access, close to airport and people have seen her regularly at local Supermarket.
SergeyPrkl
Plenty of worlds top celebs resides secretly in FInland. And this is basically why, nobody bothers them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHUQNxggT_k

Budget around 100M USD. Box office 10M
FoodandPhotos
I never understood this. I watched it on a whim in the 90s and really liked it. I have seen it a few times since and still appreciate it. Just the wrong movie for that box office I guess.
RyanH42
Killed pirate movies for a while until Pirates of the Caribbean as I understand it.
HomeRunWoman
Yep, although audiences warmed back up to it after watching Captain Jack Sparrow. And don’t forget Captain Stagnetti too.
