Added DiffLines:
* NarrowParody: The deliberately anachronistic jokes work through what was, in 1982, the past two decades or so of popular culture, but especially the turn of TheEighties with nods to ''Franchise/StarWars'', ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'', and the [[Franchise/ThePinkPanther]] movies (''Trail of the Pink Panther'' arrived in movie theaters just a few months after this film's release). Actually justified as the film is the DreamSequence of a young woman of 1982 and thus is working from her frame of reference.

* WarIsHell: Spoofed: Mabel says "War is Hell!" in a fourth-wall breaking after deciding to fight Frederic during the climactic battle and taking advantage of their mutual hesitancy to get the drop on him.

''The Pirate Movie'' is a 1982 musical film loosely based on ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance''.

!!This movie includes examples of:
* AllJustADream: The story unfolds as a dream in a present day heroine's head, with her in the role of Mabel. [[spoiler:When she becomes aware that it's ''her'' dream, she's able to orchestrate a happy ending]].
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Mabel directly addresses the camera and audience several times. At the end, she actually ''stops the movie'' [[spoiler:when the Pirate King threatens to have everyone killed by refusing to play along and insisting on a happy ending]].
* CampStraight: Ted Hamilton's Pirate King dances all over the line of what would be considered campy, gay, manly, or straight; he can be imposing and powerful one minute and yelling a high-pitched scream the next. He also prominently wears a very puffy red vest. And a codpiece. Which ''squeaks'' when he honks it.
* InexplicablyAwesome: The Pirate King is always a bit daffy, same as everyone else, but ''The Pirate Movie'' takes it to new levels; he has apparent ''superpowers'' like leaping up to the second story during a sword fight, slashing a statue straight in half with his sword, pointing his sword like a gun at some mugs to shatter them, escaping from a coffin run through with swords like a magic trick, and a booming sonic shout.
* OfCorsetsSexy: ''The Pirate Movie'' did wonders to bust Kristy [=McNichol=]'s tomboy image, partly thanks to the wardrobe.
* PairTheSpares: At the end, Mabel pauses the action, arbitrarily pairs up the pirates with her various sisters [[spoiler:and the Pirate King with Ruth]], and then notices that two pirates are left over...
* ShoutOut:
** In one scene a [[Franchise/StarWars lightsaber]] is brandished.
** The Major General's song is revised to include references to Music/TheBeatles and Music/TheRollingStones.
** In the same scene, Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello get a name dropped by the Pirate King.
** When Mabel is trying to rally the policemen, she threatens to call their inspector if they refuse to cooperate; he rides up to her on a bicycle and [[Franchise/ThePinkPanther there's something rather familiar about his thick French accent, hat, and trench coat]].
** In the final battle, Mabel is about to be killed by a [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk man in black robes and turban swinging a sword, when he's shot dead by a man in a leather jacket and fedora]].
