Dick Lochte Los Angeles Free Press 12/31/2019
Not only is Captain Peg a delight to watch, but his ersatz severed leg is an absolute miracle of cinema magic that must have rivaled the Inquisition as a torture device for the actor's real limb. Go to Full Review Tony Mastroianni Cleveland Press 04/03/2019
It is a general lackluster look, a slowness of development, an attempt at a more complicated plot that causes the story to flounder. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/14/2017 Strange but extremely watchable western re-imagining of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Scripted by Douglas' wife and starring directed by Kirk Douglas. This was one of two directorial efforts by Douglas. The plot is a bit uneven at times but it's got plenty of entertainment value to make up for it. Should be on DVD and / or Blu-Ray.

Truly bizarre! See more Read all reviews
