I appear to be the only one to have listed Yellowbeard. Its a melange of silliness, ridiculousness and comedy styles, yet I find the film consistently funny throughout the story. Cheech & Chong and Madeline Kahn crack me up the most, and of course the incomparable performance of Graham Chapman as Captain Yellowbeard. I don't think he gets the credit he deserves for how terrific he was here. His comic timing and sense of character satire and parody were absolutely spot on.
This film cracks me up just thinking about it, yet it gets swept under the rug and even derided for some reason. Plus how many US pg rated films have boobies and rape humor in them. It was R13 where I was living at the time in NZ, which gave the older kids their own film to see in the cinema without having little brats to put up with in the audience.
