FIRST TIME REACTION to Pirates of the Caribbean 2 

Fun fact: Bill Nighy had to live into the abyss with polyps and crustaceans for 10 years in order to get the role of Davy Jones. What a talented actor.

20 years later, Davy Jones is still one of the best movie villains alongside the best cgi.

"Pirates 3: Jack in Hell" weeeeellll about that...

"I GOT A JAR OF DIRT! I GOT A JAR OF DIRT! AND GUESS WHAT'S INSIDE IT!" One of the funniest improv moments I've ever seen! Even the cast didn't know what Depp was doing. 💜

Fun fact: Nobody told the cast that Jeoffrey Rush would come back. The crews expressions are real.

I think the Bayou people all assembling to mourn Jack is connected to the Lore that the Black Pearl used to be a Slavers Ship running slaves from Africa to the Caribbean and Jack was the one who freed them. Which is why he got Wanted and Branded by the East India Corporation.

theres a deleted scene in one of the movies that mentions the reason jack was branded a pirate was because he stole cargo he was supposed to deliver for beckett, with jack replying "people arent cargo mate". its a fantastic piece of dialogue showing that jack was only branded as a criminal because he freed slaves from the british navy*, i have no idea why it was deleted, it adds a lot of depth to his character. *Edit: east india trading company not british navy

You cut out what to me is the best bit of Barbosa's return: When he just takes a massive chomp out of an apple. He finally gets to eat food.

Fun Fact: When Jack fell down the stairs with the jar of dirt that was actually unscripted. Him saying "I got it!" immediately after was also unscripted.

Jack: “We have our heading” Peter Pan: “Here we goooo!” What a time to be a 2000s kid for Disney DVD

That Barbossa reveal at the end was amazing. Apparently the cast didn't know it was Geoffrey Rush coming down those steps

"Yooo is the Dad gonna get got? Cuz he's waking towards get-got territory" I'm CRYING HAHAHAHAHA😂😂😂

I remember watching and not even questioning Davy Jones appearing "crazy how they hired an actual cursed pirate for this movie".

Interesting Fact: The liar's dice scene has several deleted scenes, with the whole segment being available on youtube. Those additional minutes really tie the whole scene together, making it more impactful. I think you guys should give it a look at some point.

I still can’t believe how good Davy Jones looks, after all this years it is still incredible! Guys, Dead Man's Chest was released nearly 18 years ago and the CGI work on Davy Jones still looks flawless.

32:22 not going to lie, I’m lowkey proud of you guys for finally making that shot!!! 😂 and so soon at that!!!

The Davy jones soundtrack still hits different to this day

That last scene with barbosa is so iconic. If you look closely earlier scene in the house, you can see "foreshadowing" from his boots, hat and when monkey is going to other room. Also during final scene, the actors didnt not know barbosa would come back, and their faces were real reactions when he came down the stairs. What way to end the movie and hype the next one.

Can we talk about how well-designed Davy Jones and his crew are? The grotesque fusion between man and ocean life gives them so much personality, they’re some of the most striking creature designs I’ve ever seen on film. My favourite in terms of appearance would have to be Palifico (the coral guy). All the chef’s kisses to the artists who designed and brought these guys to life.

Something you must take notice. The song that Davy Jones's music box plays is the same he was playing on the organ before. How curious that when in the organ is full of rage but in the music box sounds sad and melancolic.

It’s still amazing how this was 2006 and Davy Jones looked so damn real!!

There he is, Davy bloody Jones... 20 years and hollywood is still failing to top him

the fight choreography in that 3-way fight between Norrington, Will, and Jack, Is masterful. it is one of the best fight scenes in cinematic history.

The Liar's Dice scene is actually very clever. There's a video that analyzes it and how the game flows and helps tell us things about the characters. It served an interesting narrative purpose, on top of introducing many children to an old game that is actually very fun. To add to the origin of that game, it's actually from the Incan Empire and became popular in Europe when the Spanish brought it over. Obviously, a lot of dark history there, but it is cool that such a popular game comes from a Mesoamerican culture.

The main ships, Black Pearl & Flying Dutchman, we're built for the movie all the extra ships were chartered for the movie. Where I live we have a Tall Ship show and a few of the back ground ships came, they are so huge in person.

If you want more pirate stories, I highly recommend Black Sails. Black Sails is written as a prequel to the famous Treasure Island story. It also incorporates modified versions of legendary real life pirates into its story.

Another fun fact: the cast weren't told of the actor for Captain Barbossa's return, so the surprise on their faces is genuine.

If you want more context for the vigil of all those people at the end, there's a deleted scene from the third movie that hints/explains it. After the next movie check out 'just good business (deleted scene at worlds end)' it's about 4.04 min long on youtube. Its such a shame that scene got deleted

Tbh it is really nice and refreshing seeing praise going to a Pirates movie that isn't the first one and since this is my favourite out of the bunch I am so glad you decided to randomly make and upload this.

Fun fact! None of the other actors were told about Barbosa coming back. They were genuinely surprised when he popped up in that scene.

1:07:47: This cliffhanger was INSANE when this movie first came out!

There's a deleted scene showing Will played two different games against Davey Jones. The first game was for Bootstrap's freedom and Will won that, ending his service. The second game is the one for the key which is what we see

Honestly, movies like this and Narnia really show how well Disney had their CGI and effects in the mid-2000s and how the artistry of it has been lost in a lot of ways.

You guys make the reactions so much fun. The pirate costumes and shooting at the tv everytime they shoot in the movie. This is why you guys are the best! Keep up the good work.

Ragetti, the one-eyed pirate, is second only to Jack in this series when he appears. Dude is just gold throughout. That actor, Mackenzie Crook, deserves all the praise.

Pirates 3: "Jack's in Hell" Not saying anything! 😆

Fun Fact: nobody on set knew that Geoffrey Rush would return as Barbossa, so their surprised reactions to him appearing at the end were real! Also, Davy Jones is kind of like the Grim Reaper of the sea, so the original deal that he made with Jack was to raise his ship from the depths of the ocean after he was burned and sunk by the East India Trading Company. Another fun fact, the "Black Pearl" was originally called the "Wicked Wench", but Jack renamed it when it was restored since the ship turned black from the fire.

In my opinion, the scene were Will gambles for the key is so much better if you watch the full deleted/extended scene. It’s another 5 minutes and it is so good.

To give you some context, as the movies don't go into it, Beckett had Jack under his employ and told him to transport some cargo. (That cargo being 100 slaves) Jack refused and set them free. Beckett then branded Jack as a pirate then burned and sank his ship. Some time later, Jack jad come across Davy Jones and struck a deal with him. Jones would raise the ship from the depths of the ocean and Jack would captain it for 13 years. When the ship was raised it came out black, hence the name The Black Pearl. I say this for 2 reasons. The first being that at the end of the movie, you see the slaves that Jack freed at Tia Dalma's hut, morning his passing. The second reason is that Jones' deal to Jack in the movie was for Jack to trade 100 sould for his freedom. (The same ammount of souls he had freed before losing his ship to Beckett) Jones basically told Jack to deliver to him 100 people who would become Slaves to the Dutchman. (Something that Jack is completely against as he constantly talks about how much freedom means to him.)

My first movie of the franchise I experienced and on the big screen too. Davy Jones is a villain that I always found interesting, with his character and the visual effects of his octopus head. Ofc, the Kraken is marvel in itself as well.

17:40 The reason they hurry is because as Gibbs said, Jack's life will end once the drums stop. The drums stopped in the scene.

"What!?" "Sea turtles, mate." "Sea turtles" predates "Cactus" for about 10 years.

I advise you to watch the extended deleted scene of when Norrington gives Lord Beckett the heart of Davy Jones. It really adds more to Norrington’s character and to Lord Beckett as a villain and global threat.

If you go back when she accepts the monkey and lets him out of the cage he scampers off and excitably jumps onto a corpse. It's a blinka nd you'll miss itmoment but they show you Barbosa's boots all the way back then! I figured he was coming back by the end of the movie when they did that.

One of my favorite parts of this film is the insane island sword fight. It's just so unabashedly, unapologetically ridiculous. Every single second just revels in the absurdity.

The rules of Liar's Dice are not easy to find, but the gist is that you're betting on how many of a given number have been rolled by the whole table, and bets can only be made by picking a bigger roll or more of the same roll Say you bet that there are six fours on the table. Someone else can only raise the bet by picking at least seven fours, or changing the bet to fives or sixes

32:20 is the moment we in the audience get SHOT!😱 (they finally had a shot stick to the camera🥳👍🏻)

I still like how circus type music was played when they were swinging back & fourth in the cage. Pure gold

41:51 you should make the “thank you for your patronage” clip from SpongeBob a usual part of this section instead of just doing it for your SpongeBob reactions.

fun fact: jack used to work for the east india company but didn't like the way they did things. And all those people holding candles at the end where the slaves jack freed from the east india company when he wen't awol

The Barbosa reveal at the end is such an insane moment even their yells understate it.

I gasped instantly when Barbossa came back from the dead! It's the kind of trope i always like, You have the first OG villain who was the main villain, And then later with new villains to face, The first OG villain comes back by becoming Heroes, Or at least an anti-hero in protagonist role 😁

Fun fact: The part of when Jack falls down the stairs with the jar of dirt was completly an accident. He really fell down hard and the reactions of the others were real, but Johnny like the genius he is managed to stay in character despite the fall.

Davey Jones has to be my favorite movie villain of all time, he has a banger theme, a great and tragic backstory and a intemidating design

Hans Zimmer is the one who made the Pirates of The Caribbean Music Score. The man is a genius and aside from Interstellar and Inception, it's definitly my favorite work he's ever done.

32:21 Perfect Shot!

They keep talking about Sea of Thieves watching this not knowing it literally has a Pirates of the Caribbean dlc.

Liar's Dice is the best scene in the franchise and it's why I love Will as a character so much. He's the brains of the three protagonists. That whole bit where he plays a losing game just to learn something important to get one over on the bad guys is such an anime-esque move and I love it.

I always thought that guy said “lamb/pork” which doesn’t totally make sense but “long pork” is such a niche, dark iykyk thing.

Davey Jones is still recognized as the best CG character ever in film. It's actually insane how well he's held up and how much Hollywood has failed to replicate him. If you want to see Bill Nighy (Davey Jones) and Johnny Depp face off against each other again, I'd reccomend watching the animated movie Rango. Absolute classic and their on screen chemistry translated so well to animation. A lot of people mistake Elizabeth in this movie for being in love with Jack, but it was always a red herring. She was fascinated with Jack yes, he represented the freedom of piracy she was fascinated with since a girl, but she never wanted him romantically. The compass pointed to him the first time because he had the letters she had just begged him for in his pocket, and the second time because it was pointing to where the chest was buried. Only flirted with him to vex him and kissed him to kill him. And I love the little detail that when Mr. Gibbs says Jack's honest streak won out, even though Elizabeth feels guilty because she believes Gibbs is wrong, he's actually right, Jack had the time to survive and chose to go down how a Captain should. I like the trend of the tall one of the dumb pirate duo being surprisingly smart, he could've easily been a one-note stooge but he's got a lot of reflection in him. Barbossa coming back is a highlight of the series, and he finally got to taste that green apple. The next one is probably my favorite of the series, it gets even darker but they managed to up the epic scale of it. The Magic Conch is never wrong.

CPT Jack is like the Obi-Wan Kenobi of his world and has managed to piss off like every evil person and get away with it💀

39:14 - there is a deleted/extended scene where Will Challenges Davy Jones and wins the first round, the scene ends right before he lays out the picture of the key to Davy jones.

That Betrayal combined with the cliffhanger ending had me hooked as a child! They knew what they were doing :D

But now you have the 'why is the rum gone' sequel to listen to... I got a jar of dirt.

I just finished watching the first Pirates of The Caribbean movie with my family last night, a couple days after your reaction to it. 😆 Also, love this one. 18:17: I love this part. 😂 21:15: NAHHH!

Jack doesn't know what he wants because the chest is useless without the key and in order to get the key he has to confront Davey Jones which is a death sentence. He also wants to be free at see but he can't because of the Kraken hunting him from the depths.

Barbossa comeback is one of the best character comeback in movies. He is my favorite.

Did you know: the reason that Jack was branded a pirate was because he refused to transport slaves for the East India Trading Company, last I checked. Fun fact for you.

Fun fact: the reason why the price of Jacks soul is 100 souls is to be branded a pirate Jack let free 100 slaves. So Davy Jones is throwing that back in his face by making him sacrifice 100 people for himself

My personal favorite of the trilogy!

Missing context on why Davey Jones gives crews he sinks a chance to join his crew. He's the ferryman for the dead and refusing to do his job and ferry souls to the other side. He's letting them go lost at sea, why they slit that one dude's throat then toss him in the ocean when going down the line asking the dying men if they would rather die or be part of his crew to postpone judgement for their sins in life.

It's crazy how Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa returning was kept secret from the cast and that his reveal and their reaction was genuine.

from part of when he fell down the stairs and started saying i got a jar of dirt.. all of this was improvised by depp.. thats why their expressions was like that and made scene even funnier.. from OWWW from staring at him like what is he doing

To answer your question at 15:24-ish. They did miniatures for the big full pulled out shots battle pieces (and explosions). They half built ships for the close ups (like on the deck type of shots) during battles and others. They had it in a special building where water would be sprayed and it would rock back and forth!!! I 1000% recommend looking up the behind the scenes for these movies! It’s really cool and interesting!! Technically the girl (I don’t know the actress name) who play Elizabeth was technically under age for the first movie. She had to have her mom with her on set. She also was really scared to jump off the ship in the first movie, it took literal days before they got the shoot that they ended using.

30:25, "Yeah, he said- OH SHIT!!!" That's exactly what Jack Sparrow was thinking.

I CANNOT wait for them to see 3! Despite pop opinion its definitely my favorite of the trilogy

Fun fact: the letters of marque and the privateer status that were offered to Jack were a real thing. Nations would pay and pardon pirates to plunder ships belonging to other enemy nations. This is also what the Seven Warlords in One Piece were based off of 🏴‍☠️

so excited for part 3!

1:06:21 Those people were indeed holding a vigil for Jack. According to supplementary material, they were slaves, whom Beckett tasked Jack with transporting on the Pearl (then called Wicked Wench). Jack instead took them to Tia, and set them free, resulting in him getting branded. Beckett's fleet eventually hunted him down, and sunk the Wench, which is when Jack called upon Davy Jones and made the deal. Since the ship was burnt by Beckett, when Jones raised it, it's wood remained black.

39:10, If you haven't already, I highly recommend you look up the extended version of this scene. It is CRIMINAL that it wasn't included. To sum up, Will bets 100 years of service against his and his father's freedom and wins. Jones does a sarcastic little clap by hitting his pipe against his claw and as he walks away Will demands another game. Jones stops and tells Will, "You can't best the Devil twice," to which Will replies, "Then why are you walking away?"

Them goofing around that Jack will fight the Lovecraftian Horror from inside now with nothing but a sword to the brutal realization that the movie did, in fact, just killed off the main protagonist was a wild mood switch.

1:06:22 Those are the slaves Jack Sparrow saved, they are mourning Jack.

I love how Boom the word says. “What?” whenever he’s confused by something that he heard or saw, his delivery is so goddam funny.

They did, in fact, build ships for these movies. Fun fact: I was queueing with a friend to get the autograph of one of the people who went to the moon. We started talking with the person behind who was also queueing. Turns out it was one of the designers of the black pearl + others, and their initial design was rejected immediately by the builders. They'd apparently based it on the Vasaskeppet (The Vasa Ship) (we had just been to that museum). That ship sank before even leaving port. So yes, in the most roundabout way, they did, actually build the ships and this was how I found out.

if you didn't know already, fun fact: there is a deleted scene explaining the whole Jack - Davy Jones origin. Jack had prior dealings with the east india trading company, was transporting cargo for them on his ship "the wicked wench". some time into his work for them he was ordered by Beckett to bring 100 slaves from Afrika to America. Jack set them free instead because "people ain't cargo". as punishment he was brandmarked by Beckett, his ship set aflame and sunk to the bottom of the ocean. Jack then struck a deal with Davy Jones to raise his ship - burnt now, that's why the black pearl is black and so "run down". The deal was he could have his ship for another 13 jears as captain. then the mutany started and Jack lost the Pearl. that's the backstory which for a reason I will never understand they cut from the movies - and that's also why Davy Jones is asking for specifically 100 souls, 'cause that's what Jack lost his ship for once before.

Funny there was a theory of how Jack keeps being lucky getting out of trouble or seemingly escape every scenario. The theory is that Jack's hat brings him luck every time he puts it on evaded issues. Kinda funny how he kept outting hats on throughout this movie and was constantly unlucky. In the first movie he took off his hat a couple times to save Elizabeth but evaded getting hanged by intertwining with Elizabeth and Will. Just a theory not confirmed

The most unbelievable part of this movie is that the water wheel sequence was done practically. They were actually on/in that fuckin thing sword fighting (with a lot of safety lines and a very carefully controlled roll-speed, but still)! Edit: Large portions of the sequence were done practically, there are obviously still some portions that are clearly CGI, but most of the wide shots and closeups where it's not like, tumbling off a mountain were practical.

Okay, so let’s break down the game of dice for everyone that needs to know. The rules are such: all players roll dice in a cup and then have to place bets on how many total of a certain number there are under the cups. For example: A player can wager 5 ones, this means he is betting that out of all the cups in play, there are five dice that rolled 1. Now to increase the bet you can go one of two ways. Increase the number of dice, or increase the value. For example, a player bets 5 ones, your bet could be to either raise it to 7 ones, or maybe raise it to 3 threes. This ostensibly changes the wager from “How many ones are under the cups.” To “how many threes are under the cups.” The turn ends when the next player challenges the bid. So Bill betting “12 fives” after Will is essentially him falling on the sword because HE knows there is no way there 12 fives in play, the Dutchman knows it, and Will knows it. He is challenging the Dutchman to call him on it. This puts the Dutchman in a situation: if he calls, then he doesn’t get Will in a debt. If he doesn’t, it makes him seem weak to the crew. It is a wonderful catch 22.

20:40 oh this moment!!! 😂😂🙌🙌 iconic.

32:21 *Anxiously points at Ruff* *In Pintel's voice*: "He shot me!"😰 Had to do a callback to the first film there. Gotta say that was rather impressive,well done!😂👏🏼

So the backstory of Jack and the Black Pearl is he was part of the navy and Beckett told him to transport 100 people to slavery and he said people aren’t cargo stole the wicked wench with the 100 people on board Beckett then had the ship attacked and sank and branded Jack as a pirate. Jack then made the deal with Jones to raise the ship from the ocean although it had then been burned black so Jack renamed it to be known as the black pearl. Jack would captain the ship for 13 years then join Jones Crew for 100 years which is why when Jones asked for 100 souls it shows how Jack changed as he lost the ship trying to save 100 people and was then willing to sacrifice 100 people to save himself

There were cheers in the audience when Barbosa came back. Going from the build of suspense to the equivalent of a football stadium applause within seconds.

Davy Jones is one of the best villains in cinema. Period. And still looks so good 😭

Davy Jones and the Kraken are so iconic, when I went to rewatch the Pirates movies I was really surprised they weren't from the first movie!

If I’m not mistaken, technically the Flying Dutchman and Davy Jones are two completely different pieces of pirate lore, but these movies decided to combine elements of both to make their version of Jones

IMO this is the best pirates movie of the franchise. Davy Jones is an epic villain.

I can still remember how in the theater as a kid I felt awestruck and dumbstruck, and just all the strucks when barbossa showed up in the last moments. Then of course when I realized I’d have to wait now for the 3rd one to come out. This movie is very much a part 1 of 2

For those that don't know, liars dice is basically about making a bet on how many dice of a certain fave there are on the table. You can raise the face, or the number of a certain face. It's a game that has more rules, but there's a video that explains liars dice

they didnt even tell them who the captain will be so the look on their faces is actually true surprise

57:05 omg!! This is the biggest memory unlocked for me, when i was a kid my brother and i had this pirate boat that has these etc!!! And sound efects and such, it was so cool.
