SEXY PIRATES is another erotic costume adventure from Joe D'Amato, made right at the end of his life. Unlike the others he made, however, this one is strictly softcore and a great deal tamer than his others. There are a handful of beautiful women who regularly disrobe for some steamy moments, but otherwise this is more plot-focused and even has some action in it to recommend it. It harks back to the costume adventures of the early '60s, a lot cheaper and with worse acting and production values, but fairly impressive visually and with plenty going on to see you through. A step up, then, from the usual fare D'Amato made during this era.
