"I'm the master of my ship, not Blackbeard. I'm the master of my fate, not Blackbeard!" I absolutely love this line

The fact that he actually shares it with Jack after he says “I want one of those.” is rather sweet. And Jack promising him to get the chance for shared revenge was also rather nice.

"oh you'd got a knife that's great " "better "

I love the chemistry these two developed over time.

The fact they don’t show a flashback of the fight for this is actually great the viewer creates a excellent visual in their head

Barbosa betrayed Jack so Jack shot him for it. Even. Now, strenuous friends with respect. "I'll see you get the chance at revenge mate."

Barbossa: but me arms were free and me sword was stand, so I did what needed done. Jack: you cut the ropes? Barbossa: (O)-(O)....

They went from “first mate betrayed me, let me kill him” To “our hatred is wasted on old, scarred veterans of life like us. Let the young have their burning hatred...but we can still get under each other’s skin. For...old times sake, yes??”

The look Hector gives Jack after Jack gets his hands free very clearly says: "I have no idea how in the blazing fires of Hell you did that, but I've known you long enough not to question it."

That's why I love these two. On the surface, they're rivals that are always trying to outdo each other, but deep down they have great respect for the other.

Barbossa's storytelling makes imagination look real that i dont even need a flashback to see it

"Why should I? Four of you tried to kill me, one of you succeeded"

Barbosa tells the best stories ghost stories lol

After Barbossa cuts off his leg... "Ya know, I probably should have just cut the rope."

"Our own ship turned against us." He sounds so heartbroken when he says that. He loved the Pearl as much as Jack and for her to betray him, even if she was forced to by Blackbeard's magic, cuts deeper and sharper than even the loss of his leg.

This has got to be my favorite part in the entire movie. Barbossa's story -- how he lost his leg and his ship -- sends chills up and down my spine every time I hear it. The ghost sounds in the background, the expression in his voice and on his face, the look on Jack's own face as he puts things together...all that together, plus the story itself of course, makes for an intensity unrivaled by any other scene. And I love it.

"TAKEN not lost" I like how Barbosa emphasize on that because if the pearl was lost, he definitely would've gone down with her as stated by jack earlier in the film

If I ever get a prostetic leg I am def gonna store something in it

at 2:45 barbossa was like "not this again".

What I admire about Barbossa is that he always stood as his own man, a true pirate, and a true captain all by himself apart from characters like Will and Elizabeth who seemed to constantly need Jack to save their asses at the end of the day. Even tho he betrayed Jack multiple times, Jack has a lot of mutual respect for him, enough so that he made him his first mate all those years ago. Even now, he knows Barbossa is fully capable & willing to get his revenge on his own but he’s still willing to help due to that mutual respect. Both these men are great characters.

"I survived." Love the music that plays along with the quote.

Barbossa cut off his own leg to escape the ropes, managed to escape and not bleed to death, join the british navy despite being a renowned pirate who had a massive hand in taking down Cutler Beckett, managed to lead an expedition to the fountain of youth in order to kill Blackbeard with one leg and a poisoned blade and proceeded to steal Blackbeard’s sword, crew and ship and use the vessel and magic that previously started this plot of revenge. What an actual legend

barbossa was introduced as a walking cursed skeleton pirate. He was a legit monster. The fact that he can spin a story that chilling even though the audience has seen him as a monster too is impressive.

I love Barbosa’s face when Jack was climbing the coconut tree he was thinking obviously how the flying fuck does he do this shit he always has the weirdest escape attempts and they always work

"I survived" BADASS. Man says he'd give another limb just to kill him. God he's so amazing

I love how Barbossa has wronged Jack so many times yet they still chat here like old friends catching up. I guess when Jack shot and killed him in the first movie he let all his anger and vengeance go in that one bullet.

Ther respects between them two of the great Captains of all time!

Barbossa is a badass

I love how barbossa shares his peg leg drink with Jack they were enemies now their more frenemies

I love that at 2:01 you can hear the 'Underwater March" song from the first movie (albeit an altered version that ive yet to find); a little callback to the pearl with barbossa's arc.

0:19 OOOOH SO THATS WHY PIRATES HAVE PEG LEGS, I never would have guessed?

Hector and Jack have this sort of relationship kind of similar to Goku and Vegeta, or Xavier and Magneto. They are rivals, and they do have different views in which counter act each other but they don't necessarily want to see the other dead.

Barbossa is so awesome :O "IM the master of me ship, NOT Blackbear. IM the master of me fate, NOT Blackbeard." he even cut of his own leg to prove it

Jack: "Why didn't you just cut the rope, why did you sever your own leg?" Barbosa: "Hindsight be 2020 Jack."

Just shows how truthful and epic Barbossa was. Like seriously, taking one's leg just to survive is absolutely nuts! It also gave this character even more history and character!

Barbossa (AWE): "Aye. Isla De Muerta, remember? You shot me." Barbossa (OST) "...including the brutal theft of one used, twisted, hairy right leg!" I like it that Barbossa never held true grudge against Jack for killing him (as if he has a sense of honor to recognize his defeat as a fair one in the fair one-on-one combat) unlike what he felt for Blackbeard for his victory in much more less honorable and fair fight, which cost him Pearl, his crew, his leg, his life of piracy and so on.

And all while he was telling his story, Jack was removing his binds. Also the look of amazement on Barbossa's face when he saw Jack freed.

Captain Barbossa has a way with words. His speeches are always mesmerizing

It feels almost subtle how they put genuine fear in Barbossa’s face and eyes when he recounts the taking of the Pearl. If I didn’t know any better I’d think they wanted him to suffer from ptsd

1:18 Man Jack's face alone says so much He knows exactly what Barbossa has seen and knows all about Blackbeard's powers, but he can't even imagine how hard it would be for him and Barbossa to watch the Black Pearl turn against them.

Geoffrey Rush's acting in this scene is top notch. This man has been an undead skeleton, gone to hell and back twice, fought a sea battle in the heart of a maelstrom and committed countless merciless crimes as a pirate. And in all that time, nothing scared him like Blackbeard did.

Love how jack knew barbossa was pretending from the beginning

It's scenes like this that simultaneously make you understand why Jack made Barbosa his first mate all those years back........and yet, question that decision all the more! They are shown to share a certain kindred spirit, level-headedness and intelligence, and, under the right circumstances, work well together! But, at the same time, it's their similarities that work against them, and usually wind up driving a wedge between them. They're both proud, ambitious men, and in spite of their level heads, intelligence and abilities to solve and get out of the problems that plague them with relative ease......and that causes them to butt heads.......They both, in spite of their friendship, or at least, mutual respect, past or present, feel that need to outdo the other......the need to be on top, no matter the cost......Which, really, when you think about it, is the root of their problems.......

Damn I want Captain Barbossa telling pirate horror stories. I'm glad it didn't cut his tale by cutting into a scene of how the Pearl was taken.

I have to agree with you. When Jack says, "I want one of those," it's hilarious!

" I need my good arm to drive me poisoned blade through his heart." DAMN! Now that is Piracy. 😂 Jack was motivated!

What’s interesting is that this film shows a side of Barbossa and jacks rapport that was likely how they were when they first set out with the Pearl.

"But I'd give my left arm for a chance at blackbeard". "Not your right?" "I need my good arm to drive my poisoned blade through his heart". Barbosa: ambitious but practical Not many people have that combo.

I think he cut of his leg due to the rope being "alive". So even if he did cut off the rope, it would still wrap around him and cut off the blood circulation to his leg... it's literally the same thing as having no limb if you have a cursed rope stuck on you for life... (until you meet Blackbeard again)

You know this scene would make a great flashback of what had transpired as the movie lacked a ship-to-ship battle this would be the perfect time to show it as a flashback while Hector narrates culminating in his escape from Blackbeard and his crew.

"I am master of my fate" - true Captain, true mentallity. Also all that love-hate bromance between Hector and Jack, and honestly pegleg being coolest object in the series (not Heart, not Pearl, not Trident, not calices, but pegleg) really makes this scene stand out, and for me one of the best in the series, despite Stranger Tides being weakest of the films

It's a great piece of chemistry. Granted, they've tried to kill each other multiple times before, (one of them even succeeded), but when a third party starts to take away their beloved ship, they always team up. Because no one takes away their Black Pearl.

Barbossa will always and forever be the greatest thing to come from the Pirates series.

Hector and Edward were contrast and complements at the same time. They both had daughters, they both came back from the death, and they both controlled the power of Triton as well as command of the Queen Anne Revenge. That being said there was a major difference, while Edward would happily sacrifice his own daughter to the fountain for immortality...Hector sacrificed himself to save his own daughter, getting swallowed by the sea.

With all respect to Jack, Captain Barbossa is the best portrayal of a pirate in cinema history

I love how when Jack's climbing the tree it pans down to show his legs,and Barbossa just looks away like "fuck"

This managed to become one of my favourite scenes. I mean just look at how worried Barbossa looks like in the end. They care about each other

I’ve always thought if Barbossa and his crew never had the curse removed they would still be one of the most dangerous pirates ever.

1:25 "Our own ship turned against us." In truth that does actually make sense. Think of everything the Black Pearl has been through throughout the entirety of it's story: Being sunken then resurfaced by Davy Jones, becoming cursed because the pirates she was carrying were to greedy for their own good, having been broken and damaged by the kraken then dragged back into the depths by it because Jack tried to run from his debt with Jones, was stuck down in Davy Jones' locker for a while, came back then shortly after had to fight the Flying Dutchman in a typhoon, and then it was finally given a conscience by Black Beard and with the realization of everything that had happened to itself over the years she turned on her crew for everything those pirates had done to her.

barbossa and jack are the backbones of these movies

I loved that he said "our own ship"

If this film was a Jack and Barbossa Buddy movie it would have been incredible. This scene shows that

2:09 That gave me goosebumps. I realized that even after the Aztec curse was removed, Barbossa would never be able to die due to his smarts. This is what made me think why this music always played during a scene with barbossa. PTS: Poor ragetti and pintel :(

The breathless way he says "heart" always gives me chills

If you're gonna do a scene that involves "tell, don't show", having an actor as entertaining to watch as Geoffrey Rush is a good way to do it.

Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa are my favorite characters ever.

I like how they showed kind of support for each other.

The fact that jack says "a knife!" and Hector replies "better" makes the whole scene more iconic

This scene show how badass Captain Barbossa is.

Oh god, this scene was such a masterpiece. And the way Barbossa says "poisoned" just crowns the sentence :D

Jack would unironically cut his own leg just to have a pegleg rum bottle at anytime

Scenes like this are what saved this movie for me. I also love in his fight against Blackbeard how after stabbing him he says, "For the Pearl."

Barbosa is still one of the greatest Disney villains and a proper sympathetic one

"I'd give me left arm for a chance at Blackbeard" "not your right?" "I need me good arm to drive me poisoned blade into him" it's like he actually thought it through like "I'd give me right-no wait, need that one."

Captain Barbossa with his peg leg makes him even more like a real true pirate. Love how he has developed and his relationship with Captain Jack Sparrow.

Barbossa is definitely Geoffrey Rush's most famous role.

God knows Barbossa's lucky 2 be alive, to survive that I tell Ya, That's 1 heck of Pirate right there ladies and gentlemen, if not the best, then most certainly one of the Best.

I love how he talks of the pearl as if it was a person you can clearly see that barbossa cared more about it. He even went head to head with black beard just to avenge it

I’ve heard a lot of people ask, why didn’t Barbosa just cut the rope around his leg instead of his leg itself? My theory is that, the enchantment or black magic of Black Beards sword strengthened the the ropes so they couldn’t be cut.

What i love about this scene is that it doesn't take away from Geoffrey Rush's performance at all. It allows Barbossa's story to play out in our own mind, imagining the terror the crew must have felt. A lesser filmmaker would have cut away to a flashback.

I like everytime Black Beard says "our ship", he knows he couldn't do what Jack did for the Black Pearl

I love how when Hecter is telling the story you hear canon fires and and sword clashing sounds. Makes it wayy more dramatic! XD

Blackbeard: Hello Barbosa. I want to play a game.

When Barbossa and Jack put their differences aside, they actually make a pretty good team.

At this point I’m convinced that Jack Sparrow uses rum the same way Popeye uses spinach: just needs to ingest some and he can do the impossible.

Absolutely no way jack got anything out of that leg when his tied arms prevented him from tipping it enough

0:28 he cant even lift it high enough for the drink to come out lol

I’m honestly more disappointed that jack didn’t sneak into barbosa’s room while he’s sleeping and just steal his peg leg

What makes all the more awesome is you know it wasn't a clean cut. He had to saw it off and still survived

Barbossa could easily defeat Blackbeard if they still has The curse of the black pearl.

These two make Pirates of the Caribbean come alive in so many ways.

The best part upon this whole sequence is the soundtrack behind the tale of how the pearl was lost. It's amazing that they made a sence of feel like as thought you were back in the first film

No kidding I randomly turned on the movie like 10 minutes ago and started watching this. They were synchronized nearly perfectly. Complete accident.

For some reason I’ve quoted the fate line so much after this movie aired

"I survived" badass line

Mental note: if I ever lose my leg, make sure the prosthetic can be a flask and hold a knife.

Barbossa is the ultimate survivor. Unlike Jack, Barbossa was willing to sacrifice others to save himself, where as Jack wasn't comfortable with the idea.

Goes to show that if these two were always trying to one-up, betray or kill each other, they’d be unstoppable. When they work together, they’re literally unbeatable.

Every escape scene by Cap. Jack Sparrow is just funny, amazing and mind blowing

He sunk the ship that Barbossa and Jack fought over for 3 movies, presumably killed the Pearls crew, and put Barbossa in a situation where he was left with two options. 1.) Go down with the ship as a good captain would, or 2.) Take his leg and live to have revenge for his legs, his ship, and his crew. Like a good Pirate would. It's plenty personal.
