Pirates (also known as Pirates XXX) is a pornographic film produced by Digital Playground and Adam & Eve. Released in September of 2005, it stars Jesse Jane, Carmen Luvana, Janine Lindemulder, Devon, and Jenaveve Jolie. The film was directed by Joone and features many references to the mainstream Hollywood film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

The producer stated in an interview that Pirates was the most expensive pornographic film made to date,[1] with a reported budget of over US$1 million[2] and featuring unusually high production values for a pornographic film.

Plot

In 1763, Captain Edward Reynolds is hunting pirates, or at least trying to do so. He does not consider himself a great commander, and neither do most of his crew. Only his first officer, Jules, believes in him. When they save a young woman named Isabella from drowning, she tells them that her husband's ship has been destroyed by the feared Captain Victor Stagnetti and his crew of cutthroat pirates.

Reynolds and his crew go hunting for Stagnetti, who tries to find a map that leads to a powerful secret on an island somewhere in the Caribbean Sea. Stagnetti finds the secret "staff" unlocked by Isabella's husband Manuel.

After the crew escapes the spawn of darkness summoned by Stagnetti, their ship engages Stagnetti's in battle, ending Stagnetti's reign as a pirate.

Cast

Production

The production was shot using high definition digital video cameras and featured over 300 special effects shots.[3] It also included an original music score, later released on a separate soundtrack CD, and was mastered in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. Some scenes were shot on a real life sailing ship, a St. Petersburg, Florida-based replica of the HMS Bounty.[4] The owners of the ship were not aware of the true nature of the film as they were advised that the film being made was a "Disney-type pirate film for families."[5]

The film was initially released as a three-disc DVD set (the movie on a standard video DVD, the movie again in a high definition Windows Media format,[6] and a special features disc) priced as high as $70. An R-rated version of the film was released on DVD on July 11, 2006.[7] Digital Playground also released an Original Motion Picture Soundtrack CD, a rarity among adult video releases.

The film was also released on Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD as one of the first high-definition adult releases on an optical disc format.

Sequel

Evan Stone reported on the extra DVD that there was going to be a sequel. In January 2007 it was reported that a sequel would be produced, directed by Joone and entitled Pirates II. A first teaser trailer was presented during the 2007 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada.[8]

In March 2008, Digital Playground announced that the sequel would star Belladonna along with Jesse Jane, Evan Stone and many other performers from the first movie, and that it would be released in September 2008.[9]

The second movie was released on September 26, 2008 under the title Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge.
