==In popular culture== [[File:Fairbanks sail scene.webm|thumb|thumbtime=8|The scene of Fairbanks sliding down the sail]] *The sail-sliding scene was replicated in other pirate-themed media, including ''[[Against All Flags]]'', ''[[Rage of the Buccaneers]]'', ''[[The Goonies]]'', ''[[Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds (film)|Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds]]'', and the ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (IDW Publishing)|IDW comic]] ''Turtles in Time'' #3 (August 2014). *The [[Marx Bros]] 1935 movie ''[[A Night at the Opera (film)|A Night at the Opera]]'' ends with a scene of chaos during an operatic performance. [[Theater drapes and stage curtains#Backdrops|Drops]] and [[Fly system|flies]] appear as would-it-be painted sails of Fairbanks' pirate ship as Harpo swings on ropes between them, ultimately descending down one, legs astride a splitting scene-painted canvas β a full sail-slide descent. *It was also subjected to a test by ''[[MythBusters]]'', where the stunt was declared implausible ("busted").<ref>"A person can safely slow a fall by using a knife to cut a sail." ''MythBusters'', [[MythBusters (2007 season)#Episode 71 β "Pirate Special"|season 6 episode 71]] (''Pirate Special''). January 17, 2007.</ref>
