To save Sarina from execution Captain Edwards and Jules accept a mission from the king to bring back a barbaric pirate. Along the way they discover the evil Pirates' plans for resurrecting Victor Stagnetti. Unable to stop them, they are faced with Mayan dragons, warrior skeletons and sea monsters - with the final battle being fought on ships' decks with swords and cannons.
Pirate hunter Captain Edward Reynolds and his blond first mate, Jules Steel, return where they are recruited by a shady governor general to find a darkly sinister Chinese empress pirate, named Xifing, and her group of Arab cutthroats, whom are trying to resurrect the late Victor Stagnetti, the world's most feared pirate, from the grave to bring on world domination. When Jules is captured and enslaved by the Xifi hi must rely on his sword-fighting ally, Olivia, to take on the supernatural forces at work surrounding the lethal Xifing.

The movies are basically overblown rip-offs of “Pirates of the Caribbean,” and while the edited versions may be intentionally lacking in sex appeal, they are not without a certain goofy charm. The second “Pirates” is probably a better movie than the first, filled with tongue-in-cheek dialogue and over-the-top swashbuckling, led by a bravura performance from Evan Stone.
As an attempt at mainstream cinema, Stagnetti’s Revenge is about on par with an ambitious indie, filled with polished CGI effects typical of a good fantasy video game. That at least puts it a notch above most late-night-cable guilty pleasures, and anyone who enjoyed the watered-down version of the first film will probably have fun with this one too.
