- Complete Monster: Baron José Gruda is sent to the island of Cobra to repress the rebellion of El Libre, luring the pirates of Captain Vallo into assisting to result in El Libre's death before betraying the pirates to turn them over for execution. Becoming a tyrant to Cobra, Gruda intends to force El Libre's daughter Consuelo to marry the governor, threatening to kill every civilian if she does not while having an old man brutally flogged to show how serious it is. Gruda then makes even tearing down his edicts punishable by death, having an entire crowd massacred as "accomplices".
- Parody Displacement: Nowadays, people are more likely to remember the "capsized skiff as improvised submarine" from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl than from The Crimson Pirate (even if the former is a humorous homage to it).
- Retroactive Recognition: Christopher Lee plays one of the officers.
