In one long, dramatic scene, Fairbanks acting alone seizes a merchant ship. In another famous scene, he sticks his dagger into the mainsail and rides it all the way down from top to bottom, cutting the sail in half as he goes. The film features many special effects, including some spectacular models of sailing ships.


The Black Pirate was the third feature to be filmed in an early two-color Technicolor process that had been first introduced in the 1922 feature Toll of the Sea. This reproduces a limited but pleasing range of colors. The script was adapted by Jack Cunningham from a story by Fairbanks, who used his middle names "Elton Thomas" as a pseudonym.

Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Black Pirate (487 words)
Obviously, one of The Black Pirate's forebears was the Douglas Fairbanks silent film of the same name, which was released in 1926.
The first thing he did was give The Black Pirate a secret identity, when the character's arch-enemy, Don Carlos, enlisted Jon Valor's help in tracking down the sea rover, little suspecting the two were one and the same.
Before long, The Black Pirate had stopped wearing fl in favor of a distinctive (and very colorful) costume, complete with mask, and was having as many adventures on land as on sea.
Black Bart, Pirate of the Caribbean (1558 words)
If we are to believe it, Black Bart was perhaps the most successful pirate of all time, with the capture of over 400 ships and over £50 million of booty * in a career that spanned a mere 2 years and six months.
Black Bart was caught with this second broadside, having half his neck ripped out by a one inch ball of grape shot.
The few remaining pirates were acquitted, meaning they were either well connected, could afford a ransom of some sort, or were such a minor character that they were released to show the court as merciful.
