Jack Sparrow's dad is played by Keith Richards of Rolling Stones fame. Richards was a big inspiration for Depp's original interpretation of the Sparrow character, so for him to play Sparrow's dad was a meta joke. Richards was allegedly as drunk as a skunk - or maybe as high as a kite? - during filming.
There’s also a story that Depp told about filming, where he went out for a drink with Keith Richards. Richards spent the evening drinking something the same colour, smell and general taste of floor cleaner and Depp eventually had to tap out.
Something to note, is that Davy Jones stabbed Will with the same sword he made in the first movie and gave to Norington for his promotion. Remember he arrived at Elizabeth’s house and was showing the sword to her father. Beckett gave Norington the sword back at the beginning of this movie. Then Jones took it from Norington when he died saying it was a really nice sword. Then stabbed Will with it. You can tell it’s the same one because of the little decorative tassel on its handle
And it comes full circle based on the line Norrington says to Will at the end of the first one about showing care and devotion to one's work, which Will carries through to his new job on the Dutchman.
They deleted a very important scene from this movie where Beckett and Jack talk about how Jack was marked as a pirate by Beckett. Basically Beckett hired Jack to delivier “goods” for him, but Jack found out the cargo was slaves so he let them go free. As punishment Beckett marked him as a pirate and forced him to watch as they burned his beloved ship the Wicked Wench and it sank below the waves. Jack made a deal with Davy Jones to raise the Wicked Wench back up but it was still burnt black so he renamed it the Black Pearl
@@Painocus It may have not been shown but it is canon due to the displayed evidence of such events. How else do you tie up the original trilogy ... Should Davy Jones, Tia Dalma, Beckett and Jack's brand be erased because of one stupid scene that contradicts an entire trilogy? Whoever wrote and green lit that flashback scene of Salazar's Demise and the new rules behind Jack's compass are incompetent.. Well, i guess it's fine because that's what Disney promotes, favors or glorify these days ..
@@carolpulma2734 ""Whoever". Terry Rossio, the same guy who made the story for and co-wrote the scripts for the 4 other films. He wrote the story for 5 and produced the film. Also something making more sense doesn't make it canon.
It took me a long time after my first viewing to get this, but the coins are "pieces of eight." That's what the currency was called. What Gibbs was explaining was that when the first Court decided on "the nine pieces of eight," they realized they didn't have any money on them, so they just used the junk in their pockets as substitutes.
The amount of knowledge George has is truly amazing! I admit, I’m not super bright so hearing info about like history or legends/myths and the like are so much fun to hear! Love it!
So, regarding the rocks that turn into crabs: Tia Dalma (who you now know is Calypso) told Pintel and Ragetti that Jack didn't just die, so she couldn't bring him back from the dead like she did for Barbossa. Jack was taken "to a place of punishment," far from the sea and the shore. But once they neared World's End and were going towards the falls, you see her muttering over something in her hands when she then casts out before her, and that's when you see it's pieces of _crabs._ If you look closely at her heart-shaped locket, you'll see that crabs are something she has a bond with. So when she cast that spell at the edge of the world, where she was close enough to the Locker to finally do it, she's basically waking up the crabs and getting them to bring Jack and the Pearl to the seashore. That's why she's petting a crab and the others are crawling under her skirts when she says, "Witty Jack is closer than you think," just before he appears, because the crabs "told" her so.
Something to take notice of, Will was stabbed by his own sword. The same sword he made for Norrington in the first film. It came back to Norrington, then to Davy Jones, and now Will got it back.
Yes George, your speculations during this were right. The character Keith Richards plays (Jack's father) is called Edward Teague, he is based on one of the pirates from the original ride who was modelled after Blackbeard (the actual historical pirate who commonly used the alias Edward Teach) in terms of look. However in this series he's his own original character, not Blackbeard.
The fleets of the pirates and the East India Company just sitting there and not fighting is one of the lost annoying cases of Chekhov’s Gun not being fired in recent cinema! You introduce all those characters, assemble all ships, say that it’s going to be the sea battle to end all sea battles, and then boom… they just sit there pretending to be backdrops. Naughty movie! Fun fact about the final battle in the Maelstrom - they actually built full size Black Pearl and Flying Dutchman replicas as practical sets on a soundstage, mounted them on gimbals, surrounded them with greenscreen and filmed the ship-to-ship battle in camera (the Maelstrom itself was all CG), which is one of the reasons why the movie is still one of the most expensive ever made. However, they used so much practical rain and atmospheric FX on the set that the greenscreen was largely obscured, making it a nightmare for the people at ILM to do the necessary compositing. They ended up having to rotoscope most of the foregrounds by hand and replace the background, so there was no real benefit of having both ships on set at once… which is another reason why it’s one of the most expensive movies ever made!
There actually wasn't any blood when Jack stabbed the hallucination of himself when we first see him this movie, not because it's Disney. It's because they're not real. There can't be blood on his sword if they many Jacks weren't actually there
Rated Arrrrr! Great finale to what was intended as a trilogy. Love the parallel between Jones/Calypso and Will/Elizabeth as trust issues doomed the former and threaten the sanctity of the latter. Would also love to see you react to the bloopers for this one and Dead Man's Chest.
Green flash is real. Itt's about the amount of atmosphere the light of the sun passes through. Sky is usually blue, but as sun sets, it moves through the light spectrum. Red sky, orange sky, yellow and then green. Usually only last a moment or two.
I think Geoffrey Rush had a blast with this one. He was so quotable and I loved his acting as Capt. Barbosa. Thanks so much for the content and best regards from the United States, guys! As for the terrain in "Davy Jones Locker", I believe that was filmed in the Bonneville Salt Flats.
If you listen carefully to some of the background pirates talking (I forget what scene) they make a reference to Captain Hook also existing in thir universe.
The sword Will made in the first film had quite a journey. He gave it to Governor Swann, who gave it to Norrington. Beckett took from Norrington after firing him, then gave it back after Norrington gave Beckett the heart. Norrington tries to kill Jones with the sword, but he fails, Jones takes it, kills Norrington and decides to keep it. Finally, Jones stabs Will with it.
Now that you've watched POTC, you should watch The Pirates! Band of Misfits for some comic relief. Also, unrelated, The Man Who Knew Too Little starring Bill Murray
"Pirates will never die, they just went online" I mean.. yes, but there are still literally real pirate attacks in the hundreds every year. Just not done by us europeans.
3:45 The ole butt blunderbuss. 35:40 Funny enough one of the first RU-vid videos I favorited is "40 Inspirational Speeches in 2 Minutes" which links together big movie speeches into one massive speech. They use many of the ones you mentioned or watched recently (LotR, Troy, Pirates, ID). This Pirates speech getting followed by 300 is pretty great.
PC3 suffers a bit from all the chaotic, prolonged battle sequences at sea. Stranger Tides (PC4) is a bit more streamlined and less waterlogged. As a result, it became the highest grossing in the franchise.
One of the best trilogies in movie history. I'm so glad they stopped there and didnt run the franchise to the ground with increasingly stupider sequels.
HA! I just got your shirts. I was thinking, "why are they wearing shirts with snow-covered poo?" DOH! Of course, now I have a craving for cinnamon rolls that I'll have to fill by (wait for it) cinnabinging. (If someone wants to put in an "e" after the first "g" and the "ing", fine with me, but I looked it up and this spelling is OK...) Loved the vid, as always. Thanks for sharing.
DMC has a better ending for a movie in the sense that it ties to AWE, but AWE has a better ending _for the whole saga_ as it ends with Jack being left right as we met him: out at sea, in a crappy boat, without a dime in his pocket. Full circle. and that's what makes a good story: you go back to the beginning, with nobody being able to tell that anything has changed, *until* you tell the story.
The first 3 were fantastic. Such a great fun adventure trilogy. We don't get any as good as these imo for family adventure films. The ones after all sucked though. Worth a watch but that's about it.
You guys messed up a tiny clip during the edit, the "no panties Elizabeth" part. :p PS: Please release public a patreon reaction when reach let's say... 120,000 suscribers? :D
Sunlight at sunset or sunrise is refracted through the air. When you see the last of the sun go beyond the horizon, it has usually already been physically beyond the horizon for about 8-12 seconds, but the light literally bends through the atmosphere like in a prism. Sometimes, on a clear day with very little moisture in the air, right as the last sunlight hits you, the light will refract in such a way that you see a green ray shoot across the sky, or a green flash just above the very top of the sun.
yep! YT doesnt allow harm towards pre-adults, which makes sense, but it doenst look at context. we had a lot of harry potter video issues because of that since the bots considers Harry Potter fighting a troll as child endangerment.
PoC can be understood as kids in the back yard playing pirates. You have the little cousin who no one want to play with (Becket), the older sister who is actually into Harry Potter (Calipso) but plays along anyway. Eveyone's the hero. Picture them all as kids, and it all makes sense.
