Short description
Morgan Adams and her slave, William Shaw, are on a quest to recover the three portions of a treasure map. Unfortunately, the final portion is held by her murderous uncle, Dawg. Her crew is skeptical of her leadership abilities, so she must complete her quest before they mutiny against her. This is made yet more difficult by the efforts of the British crown to end her pirate raids.
What's left behind the scenes
- Dog's signature pistol, with a skull-decorated handle, was later used in filming the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' trilogy, where it ended up with Captain Barbossa.
- The film broke the record for the largest box office losses: it only returned 11 out of the 100 million dollars invested in it. The reason for the failure was a disastrous advertising campaign. Due to the film’s box office failure, the 'Carolco' studio, which at that time had a blockbuster like 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day' (1991) under its belt, went bankrupt and was auctioned off.
- The film's budget was initially planned to be 65 million, but was later increased to 98 million.
- Renny Harlin said that producer Mario Kassar suggested he cast his wife, Gina Davis, in the lead role, as he specifically wanted her for the part. According to the director, Gina Davis was initially afraid to participate in the filming, but eventually agreed.
- Harleen spoke about creating "Cutthroat Island" based on films like "Captain Blood" and "The Sea Hawk" starring Errol Flynn.
- Filming took place in Malta.
- Renny Harleen spent $1 million of his own money to rewrite the script, as Carolco Pictures was in debt.
- A modern Finnish flag is visible during the escape scene from Port Royal, which is a historical inaccuracy.
