However, no making-of-the-movie, which is usually the best part of a DVD extra. It includes bloopers, trailer, bios, and an FX part that shows when they put in digital extras, and what it looked like before they did, which was pretty cool. I was pleasantly surprised at the general lack of cursing, and when there was some, it was very funny.
I do feel it was a bit more exciting knowing they were actually getting it on, instead of just faking it. There was a lot of breasts shown in the movie, with a few female butts, just a sliver of full female frontal with the woman walking, with no male frontal or butts. Some scenes would break away to the next scene as the actors would lean forward to kiss. Some of these sex scenes would show side profiles of the actors and actresses up against each other, which shows they are completely nude, without showing their private parts. This movie has more sexual references and nudity than a typical high school-type movie, such as American Pie, but perhaps less than the movies shown late at night on Cinemax which show a lot of simulated sex. They're the ones that get it on, which they do about every 10 minutes, although some scenes would show nothing but a kiss. It's not hard to tell who the porn actors are from the ones that aren't. Granted, the dialogue in a few scenes was pretty poor, so I could empathize with the actors a few times. The only time Jesse was any good was when she was imitating a monk. Janine was okay, Jesse Jane was horrible, and Carmen Luvana was pretty good. The porn girls were a mixed bag, as well. However, Tommy Gunn, the main bad guy, usually made you wince when he was on screen. Evan Stone, the main good guy, was amazing in about every scene. Surprisingly, the porn actors weren't necessarily all bad, and the non-porn actors all good. About 25% of the actors were very good, about 25% were okay, and about 50% were horrendous. (A typical Hollywood movie costs between $15 million and $80 million, with budgets going as high as $200 million.) The drawback here was the acting. Surprisingly, the costumes, sets, backgrounds, music and special effects were fantastic, especially considering that this movie was reportedly made for only $1 million.
In reviewing the R-rated version, I tried to forget that this movie was made by the porn industry, to keep my review fair. At Blockbuster, there is a big "R rated, not for children" sticker on the case to keep people from confusing it with Pirates of the Caribbean. I don't know of a store that sells both versions.
In case you don't know, there are two versions of Pirates: The R-rated version (which can be bought at and Target, but not Wal-Mart, and can be rented at Blockbuster), and the X-rated version (which can only be bought/rented at adult-fare stores like and ).
