A bit too much slapstick comedy with this one, but nevertheless, it was entertaining and held my attention.
King of the Wild Frontier was one of my favourite movies during childhood. I watched it over and over. Fess Parker is great in his role as Davy Crockett, with Buddy Ebsen providing a lot of the humour as his ol' mate Russell.
River Pirates has a slightly odd vibe about it, given it feels like two movies rolled into one. Just as you feel one has ended, it goes off on a new adventure. The character of Mike Fink was pretty damn annoying and I wanted to see him get hit with the karma train - the payoff wasn't nearly satisfying enough.
The action scenes were a bit too comedic at times, but still, this movie succeeded in making me feel like a kid again. While not as good as King of the Wild Frontier, it managed to both entertain me and hold my attention - so for that I'm grateful.
The Davy Crockett song will be stuck in my head all week now!
