City officials in St. Petersburg, Fla., said a company tricked its way into using two of the city's landmarks to shoot scene for a hard-core sex movie, according to a Local 6 News report.
Two of St. Peterburg's most family-friendly landmarks, The HMS Bounty ship and The Pier, were the settings for scenes from the popular adult movie "Pirates."
"They told us they were shooting a PG-13 scene, a Sinbad type of comedy, that would have skeletons and sword fighting in it," Pier spokeswoman Susan Robertson said.
Rumors began to spread last summer when the supposed PG-13 movie was being shot.
The movie plot involves a pirate seeking world domination but includes graphic, pirate-themed sex, according to the report.
Officials promise to be more vigilant when accepting film deals in the future.
