Pegleg...the movie

We have filmed a couple movies with the nieces/nephews. Narnia, Clue, and this year we made an original story in St. George and finished it in Delta. It was pirate themed. We had a ton of fun and here are some of the pics & clips.


PLOT SUMMARY:
It's the first day of Pirate High and all the kids are anticipating this year's competition to become class captain. The two most likely to win are: pretty boy Pencil Neck Pete, or the rough and tough, One-Eyed Willey. Not a likely contender is the class outcast, Pegleg (played by Rhett). Everyone makes fun of Pegleg, eventually shattering his belief that his father was a famous pirate. His mother finally reveals the truth about Pegleg's dad, Captain Spatula, who ended up being no more than a pancake flipper at IHOP. Nothing is going right in Pegleg's life until he finds out the school janitor is actually, Scalleywag Sam--the most famous pirate of all time. He retired from fame and fortune to be the school janitor. Scalleywag Sam commits to get Pegleg in shape for the class competition. Pegleg ends up winning the contest and the girl: Ruby Gem.




These first clips together is the scene where Scalleywag Sam (Kyle age 8) trains Pegleg (Rhett) for the competition, filmed in Delta. The files were too large so I had to splice them into part 1 & 2. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do, maybe you just had to be there.

Here is the scene introducing Pencil Neck Pete, (Bryan, Molly's little brother). At the very end you get a glimpse of One Eyed Willie.

Thanks to Natalie for providing the soundtrack.

I confess I had hoped that Pegleg's training would include a canteloupe launched at his chest.

I've gotta say, there was some remarkable acting here. Pencil Neck Pete definitely was a charmer and reminded me of young Ferris Bueller.
