A bit of backstory: Cutler Beckett had Jack transporting 100 slaves. that didn't sit well with Jack, so he set the slaves free, for which Beckett had him branded as a pirate, and sank his ship, the Wicked Wench. Jack made a deal with Davy Jones, to raise the Wench from the depths, which was now black (on account of having burned when it first sank), and renamed The Black Pearl. That's why Jones' bargain was 100 souls - one for each of the freed slaves that cost Jack his ship in the first place.

36:50 The entrance of Barbossa was a surprise to the entire cast. They were told that Annamarie from the first film would be down the stairs to greet them and lead them. So when Barbossa appeared, it was their genuine reactions.

The "I've got a jar of dirt" scene was completely improv. Jack falling down the stairs wasn't scripted, Johnny actually fell and stayed in character. When he crosses in front of Kiera and Orlando, the look of confusion is their genuine reaction.

It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects.

I never understood why Dead Man's Chest was criticised. It's still my favourite of the Pirates movies.

Cutler Beckett is a brilliant character, a well-written "bad guy". Also, I absolutely LOVE Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa.

Pintel and Ragetti (The one-eyed pirate and his friend) are apparently Uncle and Nephew. It started as just a fan theory, but the directors liked it and decided it might as well be canon. There's a lot of bits like that. Barbossa's love of apples was just a simple joke at first, but they made them his favourite food because of the fan reaction. A few more details too, but they might count as spoilers

To answer your questions. 1) Jack didn't just wake up in a coffin. He used it as a means to escape the Turkish prison after he broke in to get the "drawing of a key." 2) You saw at the end of the first movie, in the post credits scene where the monkey becomes cursed again. After the first movie, Jack and the crew went back to the Isla de la Muerta to get all the non-cursed treasure Barbossa's crew had gathered, only to find the island had been reclaimed by the sea. All that was left was Jack the Monkey swimming about. 3) They got the Black Pearl back in the water by waiting for the tide to come in. That's how they would keelhaul a ship; lighten the ship by emptying its cargo, pull it ashore and tie it down so they could scrape the barnacles off the bottom and re-tar the hull to prevent any leaking. Once that's down, they wait for the tide to come in and help ease the ship back into the water. 4) The reason the Compass didn't work for Jack is because he didn't know what he wanted. He has to know exactly what it is that he wants in order for the Compass to function, but without enough detail or emotions causing him conflict, he couldn't get a clear heading. 5) Yes, the Kraken was among the many things sailors feared. Sailors were a fearful and superstitious bunch back in the day. Dating all the way back to ancient Greece, the sea was full of stories of creatures that would doom mortal men. The Flying Dutchman, Sirens, the Bermuda Triangle, Charybdis, Scylla, sea serpents, you name it. Christopher Columbus once faced a mutiny because sailors were afraid of the unknown territory they were sailing through and because they would run out of rations. Throughout history, there has been many stories of people and ships that have gone out to sea and were never seen again. The entire sea floor is a graveyard. 6) Yes, Jack Sparrow is dead. As Bootstrap Bill explained earlier, "Then it's the Locker for you! Jones' terrible leviathan will drag the Pearl back to the depths and you along with it." So basically Jack Sparrow has been taken to Davy Jones Locker. In olden times, it was a name meaning the bottom of the sea. Here, though, when Davy Jones is supposed to represent the Devil, I'm sure you can imagine what the Locker is supposed to be.

I understand that The Curse of the Black Pearl is pretty much a perfect action adventure movie but Dead Man's Chest is just so much fun and it has something more, it's definitely my favorite of the original trilogy. Not to mention the CGI on Davy Jones still holds up perfectly 17 years later, that's freaking impressive tbh. So excited to see your watch At World's End!

Something to note is the end credit scene of Curse of the Black Pearl only explains why Jack (the monkey) is still cursed in Dead Man's Chest. When Jack (the monkey) took the coin out of the chest that didn't bring back Barbossa or recurse him, he was still dead. In fact you can see his dead body in this film when the crew first visit Tia Dalma. There is a different reason he is alive at the end of Dead Man's Chest.

About Comodore snatiching the heart in the end, actually you can notice it subtly. When him, Elisabeth and Will were fighting off Jones' crew on the shore, Comodore catches a glimpse of the heart in Jack's "jar of dirt". So, while Comodore played the noble guy and stayed on the island as a distraction, he actually outsmarted both Jack and Will, and left with the main trophey.

One of the things I like most about these two movies (Dead Man's Chest and At Worlds End) is that they hint at the past without revealing too much. It is intuited that Sparrow and Beckett had a run-in many years ago (many suggest Sparrow castrated Beckett), and in a deleted scene from At Worlds End (I seem to remember) it is hinted that Jack stole the Black Pearl when it was transporting slaves from Africa, and he corrects Beckett when he calls "cargo" those slaves telling him "People are not cargo, mate". The script gives these characters magnificent depth without falling into gratuitous exposition. This trilogy is fantastic.

Geoffrey Rush was way too good not to bring back. The banter between Jack, and Barbossa in the 3rd film is next level. Also - pay attention to Captain Teague in the 3rd film - you might recognize the man playing him...

Davy Jones was 100% CGI from head to claw leg. The actor, Bill Nighy, was filmed with some make-up around his mouth and eyes, because the VFX guys at ILM knew there would be some extreme close-ups and they weren’t completely sure that they could make those areas look real enough, so they wanted those bits as a back-up; in the end they found that they could do it without relying on the make-up, though. It’s remarkable work, it made the whole industry go “Woah” and fully deserved the Oscar. And a big shout-out to Ve Neill and her make-up crew, too! Glad Vicky pointed out their work too. I think they deserved an Oscar, though they didn’t get nominated (for this one, at least - they got a nom for Black Pearl) 😁

8:48 Remember this first movie when Elizabeth fell into the water because of her corset? Jack was finishing a story to the two guards and said, "And then they made me their Chief."

"Tortuga's a MESS. Looks fun, I wanna be there" lol what a mood

The actor Bill Nighy played Davey Jones. Vicky he has been in several movies you might have reacted to. He played the ageing rock star in Love Actually, the step father in Shaun of the Dead, Slartibarfast in Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy, and the Minister of Magic in The Deathly Hallows I just to name a few.

In my opinion, the first three Pirates movies are one of the best trilogies ever put to film. Every single detail is brilliant. Can't wait for the third one!

dead man's chest has one of the most impressive CG i've ever seen, and its almost 20 years ago

The first 3 pirates movies are literally the best! Like no complaints, perfect all around!

This is my favourite film in the POTC trilogy. Bill Nighy's performance as Davy Jones is amazing. The Kraken scenes are awesome as well.

So fun fact, the first movie was made and then they greenlit two more with many of the same cast members. So 2 and 3 have a larger feeling of being connected with a overall story whereas 1 feels more like its own thing. Also because of the cast members signing on they were limited a bit with where the story could go as well

The Commodore is actually a very complex character. I've watched this Trilogy (yes Trilogy) more than maybe any other movie except for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and I've had the chance to study him. Initially the Commodore looks to be the typical jock character after the same girl as the main lead is after but he looks way more suitable, charming, successful, capable and deserving of the girls affections over the pauper, roguish lead, but over the movies he grows. His affections for Elizabeth goes from crush, to resentment to fondness and finally acceptance that she's not going to be with him. He also isn't entirely good or bad. He does some selfish things but he's also brave, strong and a capable commanding leader. His character in my opinion gets more development in this series than any other. Jack, Liz and Will all remain the same thoughout in personality, character and motivations only their history and actions change and develop. But Norrington actually changes in personality, motivation and perspective over the course of the movies. He's a really well written character, honestly.

Happy to see you moving through this franchise pretty quickly. The first three are a bit of a trilogy, closely related.

The cinematography in this movie and in At Worlds End is absolutely amazing. Also the directing by Verbinski. That was not the case in the next two (which for me honestly don't exist, or are at least fan fiction). Everything is great in this three movies, three of the greatest from Hollywood.

I'm glad that you left in the line "Hide the rum." Jack didn't want to take any chances with Elizabeth on board his ship.

-surprise entrance. -witty one-liner. -epic theme fanfare. three points.... that's how hard it is to make a good ending. it's so unbelievable easy, it escapes even the most dedicated scholars in Hollywood.... it's amazing.

6:16 Being part of the Flying Dutchman's crew makes the curse of the Aztec gold seem good in comparison.

27:07 Bill Nighy. Primarily a stage actor, which is why he can do mo-cap and character acting so well. One of his first major film roles was as Vampire Elder Viktor in Underworld and Underworld: Evolution. He's done everything from rom-coms (Love, Actually) to science fiction, has done multiple video games (Destiny as The Speaker Of The Traveller), and was one of three actors on the final list to play The Doctor in the reboot of Doctor Who in 2006, a role that went to Christopher Eccleston instead. He's been in something like two hundred films at this point, all of them with speaking lines, as well as a cubic asston of TV shows. Very prolific after spending his first couple of decades working up to National Theater level acting (the National Theater is the best of the best in the UK)

"Tortuga's a mess! Looks fun, I wanna be there." YES.

There is a book called "The Golden Age of Pirates" which tells about some of the Pirates including BlackBeard and how sailors would choose being a pirate over working for the British Navy

When the wheel arrived at the beach, Norrington, being as intelligent as he is, noticed the leftover dirt in the rowboat, indicating that the heart had been removed from the chest and into the jar. You see him tucking something (the heart) into his pocket before the others reach him. When it looks like they're gonna lose, he pretends to do the whole sacrifice play and run away with the chest (which everyone believes has the heart) in order to lure Jones' crew away and save the others. That's why he so easily gave it up when he got cornered, and everyone allowed him to run away with the heart in his pocket. Truly a pro-gamer move.

24:08 He wants the key and the chest. Those are two things, in two different places. There’s most likely another thing he wants “most,” tied for first place on his wishlist, since the compass appeared to spin to three places when he gazed at it. The key and the chest are useless without each other (magical chests can’t be broken), so he needs both to be safe from Jones, but I’m curious what thing would be tied with those on his priority list.

Can't wait till you do the next one, At World's End. It's my favorite of all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies!

This was the movie that got me into film and digital art. I love it so much!!!!

Davy Jones is one of the greatest and most terrifying villains ever created

When Barbosa entered, the entire theater jumped up and screamed.

Even after all these years, after seeing this in theaters for the first time, even seeing you react to this movie, I still get hyped and clap for the infamous barbosa scene 🤘🤘

8:35 "He gives me Zorro vibes." Well, Bob Anderson did do the stunts for these films and the Mask of Zorro. So yup, the vibes are real

These movies are instant classics. They're fun, but not devoid of stakes, well acted, fantastic music, and an all around good time. So glad to watch you experiencing them!

The modern equivalent of Empire Strikes Back, more action-heavy and plunging our heroes into the darkest places before letting them try to escape in film 3. Loved it. To answer your question, Bill Nighy is Davy Jones. He's given some of the best CGI ever here but he's in the flesh for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as the Minister of Magic. I find it amusing how he's also Rattlesnake Jake in Rango; yet another serious no-nonsense enemy to a clownish guile hero played by Johnny Depp. They're just natural foils to each other.

"This has been a rough day for Jack." I just realized how well that sentence sums up this movie XD

4:40 - Wait.... Now I wanna know what that joke was?!?! 🤣🤣 Another great reaction!

VKunia made me forget all my problems for 40 minutes straight!

Well, yeah. Not all Disney movies are for kids. By the way, fun fact: The music track for when they fight atop the huge water wheel is called 'Wheel of Fortune'.

FINALLY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS, YOUR REACTION TO THIS CLASIC MASTERPIECE. I hope you enjoy it and you get thrilled for the third one as much as I was back on 2007. Cheers and blessings from Colombia

"Him and his Dang Apples!" The way you said that was so funny : D. I hope you watch the third one. Thanks for posting.

23:04 What Pirates always love in their life, they will protect it.

I grew up with the pirates movies and I always loved how amazing this movie was made for 2006! It’s so exciting to watch other people’s reactions to films that made my childhood and me to the person I am today 🥺

That was what made the compass a truly cursed object for Jack. The compass shows the way to what you really want, but Jack doesn't know what he wants...

Fun fact: the kiss Elizabeth planted on Jack was intentionally left out of Orlando Bloom's script so he didn't know it was going to happen, hence the perfect WTF look on his face.

Hey Vkunia Jack was also their cheiften just as the dog was. So.... yeah.... I don't think there was a thing in the first movie about Barbosa, just that the monkey stole a coin to once again become immortal itself. I would say the movies that are not as good are after the first three ones. Ty for another great reaction.

I just love the "I've gotta jar of dirt" scene and then the "where's the thump thump" 😂😂

the kitty meowning at the end XD haha

What's funny is when you learn how Jack became a pirate you learn he isn't a bad guy.

Bill Nighy. He’s in everything. Shaun of the dead, hot fuzz, this, worlds end, potc at worlds end and much more.

Lol the cast didn't even know Barbosa was coming back! Classic goosebump ending. And who said they weren't gonna harm the dog, yet? They made jack king before sacrifice, probably doing the same to the dog too.

The actor who plays The Commodore is also fantastic in The Talented Mr. Ripley with Matt Damon. Definitely recommend that movie for a future reaction.

Love when you were disgusted by the heart and your accent immediately changed lol amazing

34:51 Immediately regrets that statement as hilarious as it was spoken...

28:07 Might I suggest a vacation to the island of Antigua then? I did field school there in 2004 for archaeology, and apart from the fact that I melted in the heat (it's between 15 to 35 C year round), it is known for having 365 beaches, one beach for every day of the year. They are primarily white sand beaches too, with those shallows you speak of before a small dropoff to deeper water. The snorkeling and shallow diving opportunities there are amazing. Saw my first wild seahorse there, it literally swam in front of my mask, turned to look at me like "You're an interesting but peaceful looking fish," then continued on its merry way

"This gives me King Kong vibes" *2 minutes later* "I've never seen King Kong"

Scenes on Isla Cruces from Dead Man's Chest were shot at White Cay in the Exumas, a district in the Bahamas.

I think we're all in agreement that someone should've had the stones to stand up as Johnny was walking out of the court room and said for him, "And remember, this is the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!"

"Giant squid"? Michael Bolton would be proud of you, girl! 🤣

People really underestimate how much damage a bullwhip does, it rips through the top layer of your skin, it isn’t just a scar. Especially when it’s multiple lashes on top of each other. Oof

21:06 Tortuga looks like a great place to get drunk and have fights.

This is the day that you will always remember pirates of the Caribbean

Love ya reactions😁 as soon as I saw what type of movie ur watching I just click the vid and immediately like 😆 this movie series is one of my favorite 😌

Oh, they made the dog their leader, he's fine. Forgets they tried to cook jack.

16:06 sometimes I fell kind of sorry for Cotton 🤣 26:49 there are some old navigation charts with a giant squid type monsters, so... maybe

Great video! Had a ton of fun watching along. :)

I really love this movie, but I think my very favorite scene in it is when Jack is tied to the bamboo pole and falls down into the canyon. He gets spun off, crashes though a bunch of stuff, and lands on the ground. And then the pole and every single piece of fruit and debris lands around him while he's just lying there. Absolutely nothing hits him. Lucky Jack.

Enjoying your trip through this series of movies very much.

I absolutely love this one. I think the backlash this one got was unwarranted. Everyone double-crossing each other, all the action, the design and digital effects are just so good! I'm gonna have to go back and watch these soon.

31:18 I love the Slavic accent slips lmao

Whether Canon or not I like the story behind Jones and Jack. Not sure if it's spoilers but here's the story. Jack worked for Beckett and was tasked with delivering 100 slaves but Jack refused to do so, Beckett then saw to it that Jacks ship be destroyed and Jack marked as a pirate and I think they also left Jack for dead ontop his now burning ship tho I could be wrong but Jack then made a deal with Davy Jones and Jones brought back the black pearl which was charred black from the fire and that's how it got its name and as part of the bargain Jones tasked Jack with collecting 100 souls for him kinda of being a dick because he knew Jack had freed 100 men and now he'd have to condem 100 to servitude aboard the Dutchman.

25:04 that game had more context in the deleted scenes. Will actually won the first round between himself and Davy Jones. He pressured the captain for a second round, which is what we saw. It may have added too much but it clarified the bravado Will had. The game is based on probability and deception. the odds of winning are not good.

Vicky - "This reminds me of King Kong" Also Vicky 2 minutes later - "I've never seen King Kong"

grew up watching it and love it and love his final stand

This isn't just the best Pirates movie. This is a cinematic masterpiece and the greatest middle chapter in any film trilogy. Yes, greater than Empire Strikes Back, Two Towers, Dark Knight & (my former favorite) "Spider-Man 2".

the hat of the captain means a lot to the pirates. if the captain himself is telling leave the hat, run, then we know for a FACT we are in deep trouble

I forgot this was the era where every film went heavy into the teal & orange aesthetic in the color grade lol.

I love that the bottom of ships are scary but having your rowboat tossed by the surf and swinging over a massive drop in a bone cage looks fun!

Yessss!!! Was waiting for this, so hyped!

Bringing back Barbossa was genius.

I remember going to see this one as a kid in theaters. It was so cool. Loved the part with the kraken.

That was FUN!! Fun, fun, fun!! Thank you, Vicky! I'm so glad you loved that one! It's wild! The next one is really good too! You'll love it!

Compass doesn't work on Jack because he doesn't want to fight Davy Jones but he has to. It's Pointer confusing his intentions to run to safety of kill Davy Jones to remove the curse. 😅

Barbossa was killed by Jack in the first film. He died at the end. Tia Dalma brought him back to life in this movie.

The dog is just fine and survives to the next movie. 👍

“delicious long pork”… takes a few viewings to get what that fisherman was talking about

"Kraken hungee" was amazing

I love when these videos come out! VKunia is so excited and amazed by all these awesome moments; It makes me feel like I'm watching it for the first time again😊 I am SO looking forward to her watching TOMBSTONE

Isla Cruces was filmed in White Cay, in the Bahamas.

Jack Sparrow untill this day is the perfect combination of wild insanity and brilliant genius, and the result is the most hilarious character I have EVER seen. I miss those days of Johnny Depp...

i loved the Drunken Sailor playing in the back at the start 😍

That final scene with the Kraken always gives me chills.

If you want to see those white sand beaches with clear water, i highly recommend Havelock Island Beach in the Andaman Islands in India...and it is pretty much a hidden gem and it is one of the most beautiful beaches you will ever visit

31:15 NOTHING IS CUTER THAN VICKY SEEING THE HEART LOL😭😍 Even her accent came out😭🤣🤣
