After two Hercules movies Steve Reeves generally swore off peplum ancient
stories as locales for movie plots. But that doesn't mean he doesn't get to flex
those pecs in other films. After all it's what the moviegoing public paid to see
back in the day.
In Morgan The Pirate Reeves also uses his own voice not that deep sonorous basso that was dubbed in the Hercules films.
Some elements of pirate classics like The Sea Hawk, Captain Blood, and The Black Swan are used in the plot of Morgan The Pirate. Reeves is a slave sold at the market in Panama City by the daughter of the Governor. She likes what she sees (who wouldn't) but she has him sent to the galleons as an oar slave. But the slaves revolt and Reeves becomes the most feared pirate captain in the Carribean.
Nothing original here. The acting is below par, the battles are nicely staged and shot. Reeves is admittedly no actor, but if you're into muscles.............
