Long before Jack Sparrow's antics in Pirates of the Caribbean, The Crimson Pirate was one of the funniest pirate swashbuckler films ever made.
- Ojo (Nick Cravat) is the movie's Plucky Comic Relief. Being a mute, he "talks" with body language only.
- In the climax, he uses the flamethrower cart to light his cigar.
- When Vallo and Ojo go ashore on the isle of Cobra to find El Libre, they get the idea to provoke the isle's garrison to pass off as La Résistance. They try to attract the soldiers' attention with their antics but it doesn't work, not even when they destroy a commander's chair on a stage right in front of the parading soldiers. They eventually manage to have the soldiers run after them by firing a cannon, and a funny goose chase ensues.
- Vallo and Ojo getting Hidden in Plain Sight by simply sitting among fishermen working on a fishing nest and borrowing their hats (which would be akin to sitting on a bench in Assassin's Creed). The soldiers aren't bright enough to spot them.
- There's the "group exchanging windows" equivalent of Scooby-Dooby Doors, with Vallo and Ojo somehow managing to not bump into the soldiers inside and Ojo drawing the soldiers' attention by throwing stones at their heads each time they're at a different window.
- The soldier on the fort who orders a cannon broadside with his two flags (he doesn't know that Vallo's men have subdued the ship) when Vallo escapes with Consuello, El Libre and Professor Prudence. The broadside indeed happens on Humble Bellows' order, but it's aimed at the fort. It doesn't kill the soldier though, it only tears his clothes and destroys his flags. The funniest part is that he still stands and keeps waving the now-empty flagsticks.
- When Vallo, Ojo and Prudence manage to get ashore by walking on the seabed using the upside-down boat and hide under it among the fishermen in town, Vallo can't exactly see where they go and runs the boat into a wall. Cue a Literal Ass-Kicking by Ojo.
- Prudence testing the nitroglycerine formula. Cue a non-fatal explosion and Ash Face for everyone.
- Ojo struggling to hide his beard with flowers when he, Vallo and Prudence are Disguised in Drag to infiltrate Gruda's festival in the climax.
- In the battle at Gruda's festival, three of the men that are part of La Résistance man one of the proto-tanks and have an argument, letting several squads of Gruda's soldiers pass by without firing at them. Then one of the three shoots the cannon of his turret by mistake/without looking, and kills a squad doing so.
- The Final Battle on Gruda's boat is a hoot outside of the Swashbuckler action:
- Someone keeps throwing Gruda's sailors at Ojo, who then chain-punches them overboard... and then Vallo gets thrown at him and he doesn't pay attention and still tries to punch him, only for Vallo to dodge and for Ojo to fall overboard on one of the ship's cannons.
- The old peg leg pirate getting his peg leg continuously stuck in the ship's wooden grills over the hatches and asking one of Gruda's soldiers to help him take it out. Somehow, the soldier bends to help him, so he just takes a cannonball and knocks the soldier out on the head with it. He still gets stuck afterwards, but this time with an expression of victory and a "YES!"-like double Fist Pump.
- When Prudence emerges late at the battle with a submarine (and still Disguised in Drag) and attempts to throw a bottle of nitroglycerine at the boat, Vallo tells him it's not necessary anymore, and he breaks the bottle on his submarine in frustration. It doesn't explode (it seemingly didn't contain nitroglycerine), but Prudence still gets scared for a second as he just did something that could have qualified as Too Dumb to Live.
