Treasure Island (II) (1999)
9/10
Jack Palance makes a good Long John Silver
7 May 2024
Mostly true to the story. It starts with the treasure being buried and we see how Long John loses his leg. So, we are ready for blood and guts. Then the scene at the inn turns into "Home Alone" type antics.

Then the movie settles down and pretty much follows the book. Well, there may be a tad different as to who are the good guys and are bad when their social veneer wears off. However, it works well. We have been betrayed and shootouts abound. The screenplay is written by Peter Rowe. The filming location is Castletown, Isle of Man.

The YouTube version has closed captioning that reads differently than what they are saying and has no idea what English words are. It is of no use except for a laugh.

One positive is that the ending credits match the names of the actors and characters with their pictures.

Can not find a DVD with voice over commentary.
