Watching this, there are simply too many pirates for one ship to hold. You see hundreds get killed heading to and climbing the mountain, yet there are hundreds more to replace them. And then at least another fifty to a hundred are shown coming from the ship to try and sneak up on them from the back. A ship that size would have likely carried two hundred people at the most, yet it's gotta be close to a thousand pirates overall that try to take them.
shareYour mistake is assuming that any of the pirates perished simply because they were struck by arrows, bullets, rocks, logs, exploding coconuts, cannonballs or fell off cliffs, down embankments. This film was the forerunner of The A-Team.
shareA thousand? You for real? There's no way there were that many extras. There's the initial group, then another two boats show up that didn't look like they held more than thirty each, maybe less since my DVD isn't of the highest quality so it's hard to tell, but not a thousand.
shareThere certainly wasn't anywhere near a thousand pirates but you're right that there were too many.
I doubt there would be such a large pirate crew in the first place.
All those heartless rogues would have been fighting too much.
