- Critical Dissonance: Despite being forced to walk the plank by the critics, The Pirate Movie has an audience score of 76% on Rotten Tomatoes.
- Harsher in Hindsight: Frederic's humorous Gay Panic exchange with Mabel comes across as this in light of Kristy McNichol still being closeted at the time.note
- So Bad, It's Good: While the film is notoriously campy and parodies a handful of noted films, some of the audience still have some fond memories with this movie, and have legitimately enjoyed the film because of all the cheesy moments.
