In the beginning of the picture, Captain Blood orders two warning shots fired across the bow of a ship. When they do not respond, he orders the crew to raise the Jolly Roger, which they do. However, the pirate flag was already flying when the shots were fired. See more »Quotes

In the 17th Century, daring buccaneer Louis Hayward (as Peter Blood) preys on Spanish ships sailing from the West Indies. The lawless captain sends some of his men ashore for supplies, but they are ambushed and enslaved. Meanwhile, King Charles II hires dastardly George Macready (as the Marquis de Riconete) to track down Mr. Hayward. Although it is considered foolish and dangerous, Hayward decides to rescue his men while disguised as a common fruit seller named "Pedro". The most excitement on land is generated by sexy Dona Drake (as Pepita), who delightfully fills her costume. Higher-billed Patricia Medina (as Isabelita Sotomayor) also wears it well. Producer Harry Joe Brown gives the popular character ingredients for a fun lower budget adventure, but director Gordon Douglas and his team can't quite keep it afloat. Hayward has little spring in his step and the "Fortunes of Captain Blood" trudges through its running time.
