My favorites are called Pintel and Ragetti played by Lee Arenberg and
Mackenzie Crook... they’re mates... characters that orbit about each
other, a team of not entirely vicious pirates that simply rule. Lee
Arenberg played that utterly absurd 6 ft tall red-bearded dwarf in the
wonderfully awful telling of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, and here... he’s
given a character worth playing. Very cool. He’s the butch, the top
to the rather fey or bottom played by Mackenzie Crook.
Mackenzie Crook has the best weird quirk of the film. He has a false eye that wanders about, gets knocked from the noggin and well... all sorts of eye-ventures abound with him. Their cross-dressing scene reminded me in a way of something out of a Hope & Crosby ROAD TO flick, but if Hope & Crosby had spent too many years in prison and embraced their obvious mutual attraction and confused sexual identities. No matter though, Lee & Mackenzie should be cast as a team in 10 or 15 movies together... playing eccentric mates. They rule.
