Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Pirate is a 1973 Shaw Brothers movie directed by Chang Cheh, starring Chang's favorite pupils, Ti Lung as the titular pirate, and David Chiang in a supporting role.Very Loosely Based on a True Story, the movie is a heavily-fictionalized account of the real-life 19th Century pirate, Cheung Po-tsai, as portrayed by Ti Lung, in a manner closer to a martial arts swashbuckler instead. Cheung is a pirate lord with a bounty on his head, who came across a coastal town far from the Imperial Court's jurisdiction. Initially planning to rob the town, Cheung decides to help the locals instead after finding out they're being exploited by the corrupt government; but Cheung had to contend with General Wu (David), an official sent by the court to arrest Cheung, as well as a possible traitor in his ranks.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Do not confuse this with The Pirate. | |

Friendly Pirate: Cheung Po-tsai, the titular character. He is a diplomatic gentleman and a Robin Hood-esque hero who only plunders the ships of corrupted governors and often passes himself off as a trader or merchant before deciding whom he should rob, preferring to leave innocent villagers and unarmed sailors alone. Upon finding out a coastal town he intends to attack was actually exploited, Cheung instead decides to stay and help the locals fight against the tyranny of ruling officials. He even became friends with Admiral Wu, sent by the Imperial Court to arrest Cheung, and they end up fighting against a common enemy by the end of the film. | |
