I love this movie. Captain Ron is such a great character.
Are there any other movies like it out there? Something with all the hilarious one liners and such?

Go rent Nate and Hayes, from 1983, but still a fun pirate flick. If you like Capt Ron you should like this one. Look it up on IMDB.
BUTCAPT RON is the BEST!

"Summer Rental" with the late John Candy features an old yacht that gets fixed up for a race. I think both films have a similar "feel".

Lol. I love this movie and it's good to see that other people love it just as much. ^_^ "If anything's gonna happen, it'll happen out there."

I love the movie as well.
I kept hoping there would be a sequel. Maybe there in the Carib, or maybe off to the South Pacific. Maybe with something out of Terry and The Pirates.
Oh well.
I think it would still be pretty cool.
One of my top ten movies.

I think "Overboard" is my fave Kurt Russell film. Great family film.

I believe that if people are saying this 20+ years later it proves there is a cult following.
If you look at this listing, in which
Captain Ron
is (currently) ranked(?) 54th favorite for the year 1992, there are other well remembered and quality movies. But how many of them still have a following who like to re-watch them? Take, for example,
Scent of a Woman
, which critics and movie experts will say is a better movie than CR. But do any of those people plan to watch SoaW ever again? And maybe they will not watch CR again, but its fans will, which is something that distinguishes cult favorites from the "Great Movies", like
Gandhi
,
My Left Foot
, etc., which get perpetual lip-service, but who really wants to ever see them again.
Below are all the movies (according to IMDb) of 1992. You must click the "show more" link at the page bottom:

I like both movies.

Big Trouble in Little China.Russell in a comedic role. Overboard
And My Blue Heaven with Steve Martin.to me it has the same feel as Captain Ron.

Well it was pretty funny. Best movie ever might be a stretch but I liked it!

Another vote to try Kurt Russell's 'Overboard' after you have watched this. Captain Ron is indeed a great character. He's much funnier than Jack Sparrow.
