User Reviews:
A very strange piece of work indeed, this farcical reboot of Treasure Island was an independently-shot pet project of former Goons Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers, made when Sellers' career was at a low ebb due to a combination of health problems, his poor choice of projects and his own frequently toxic personality. Columbia Pictures passed on the chance to release the film, declaring it 'too parochial' (a polite way of saying that it just wasn't funny), so it sat on the shelf for the best part of a decade until finally seeing the light of day thanks to this video release on the old Rank label. Director Peter Medak either walked out or was sacked, leading to Sellers placing Milligan in the director's chair for a while, and it's obvious that Spike's talents lay in front of the camera rather than behind it.
