‘Pirates’ Named in Top Import DVD List by British Publication

VAN NUYS, Calif. — Since being released in September, “Pirates” has won 28 adult industry awards and shows no signs of slowing down. Adding to its crowded trophy case, the high-definition production was named to Home Cinema Choice’s “Top 50 Greatest Import DVDs of All Time.” “Pirates” was the only adult DVD to make the list.

HCC covers hardware news, reviews and information for home cinema enthusiasts in England.

Ranked at #38, “Pirates” ranks ahead of the blockbuster film “Godzilla” and cult classic “Clerks.”

“[Pirates] is a rip-roaring swashbuckler punctuated by 10 trouser-tenting sex scenes in which Jolly Rogers get hoisted, main braces get spliced and some keels get well and truly hauled,” HCC said. “In fact [Pirates] takes adult movies to a whole new level and it’s a small wonder that ‘Pirates’ won just about every adult award going.”

HCC also complimented Digital Playground on the studio’s commitment to hi-def.

“[Digital Playground has] already given us two of the best hi-def features on disc, namely ‘Island Fever 3’ and ‘Pirates,’” the magazine said. “Technically, Digital Playground is way ahead of the competition.”

Digital Playground President Samantha Lewis is pleased with “Pirates” being mentioned along with mainstream cinema classics like “Sin City,” Batman” and “Kill Bill.”

“Home Cinema Choice is geared to an elite group of high-end, home theater connoisseurs and making the Top 50 Greatest Import DVDs of All Time is an incredible honor and true confirmation that ‘Pirates’ is the first true adult movie to crossover into mainstream entertainment.”

Directed by Joone, “Pirates” was co-produced and distributed by Adam & Eve. The movie, which used the part of the same set as the Johnny Depp vehicle “Pirates of the Carribean,” stars Jesse Jane, Teagan, Carmen Luvana and Janine. “Pirates” incorporated more than 300 special effects shots, an original score and Dolby 5.1 surround sound.
