Short description

The adventures of pirate Captain Red and his first mate Frog.

What's left behind the scenes

Director Roman Polanski began developing the project several years before filming began. He hoped to cast Jack Nicholson as Captain Red and planned to play Jean-Baptiste, nicknamed 'Frog,' himself.
The ship featured in the film, the 'Neptune,' is currently docked in the Genoa Bay. It has been converted into a museum.
Charlotte Lewis accused Roman Polanski of raping her during the filming of the movie. The actress was 16 years old at the time.
