The Black Pirate is a 1926 American silent adventure film starring Douglas Fairbanks as a nobleman who infiltrates a band of pirates to avenge his father's death, notable as one of the first feature films photographed entirely in the two-color Technicolor process. Fairbanks, who also produced the film, performed many of his own stunts, including a widely noted shot in which his character slides down a ship's sail using a knife as a brake. It is regarded by film historians both as one of Fairbanks's finest swashbuckler vehicles and as an important early technical milestone in the development of color cinematography.
