 Mindjack Film: Rich Bounty
The Bounty (1984) was one of those films that kind of fell under the radar in most circles, and that's a shame.
Probably because someone in the marketing department at MGM saw the film, as many did, as a cheap failure from the early 80s, instead of the effective and dramatic piece it is. Let's hope they find the error of their ways soon and give this movie the attention it deserves.
And, although the film as realized is a good story told well, one does wonder what might have been made from a two part screenplay by two artists who were already past masters of the long-form, "epic" filmmaking.

 Old Sailing vessels "made up" as famous ships for the movies
For example, the high-pooped eighteenth-century armed transport that forms a setting for most of the stirring events of the film version of "Mutiny on the Bounty" is literally built around the hull of the old two masted schooner Lily, a former cargo carrier.
Working from old plans of the original Bounty and details from the narrative of Capt. William Bligh, her commander on her ill-fated voyage to the South Seas, modern shipwrights began their task of reproducing the historic vessel.
In place of the Lily's fore-and-aft rig, the movie Bounty was given three masts and a square rig like that of her famous predecessor.
