- "I choose my own fate" - "Then it wouldn't be fate, would it?" Got to admit he's damn right

That was a really solid line for William. "Ye can't best the devil twice, son." "Then why are you walking away?"

"I choose my own fate" "Then it wouldn't be fate would it?" The way he says that line so flippantly is almost as if he's heard people say that to him hundreds of times

The fact that they cut this scene but spent fifteen minutes with Jack Sparrow getting chased by cannibals for no reason is a travesty.

Davy almost sounds gentle when he says "Ye can't best the devil twice, son".

“What a man is willing to risk, or not to risk, that’s a measure of his soul.” That line has stuck with me all these years.

"You can't best the devil twice, son." "Then why are you walking away?" Daaaaaamn that's a good line

The way Davy rolls his eyes around when he said, "Then it wouldn't be fate, would it?" is both hilarious and taunting. Also this entire scene really helped to flesh out Davy's personality and what he's really like. Evil yes but not just evil for the sake of evil. He's got manners and charm. Friendly when he wants to be but extremely dangerous when not taken seriously.

Never let it be said that Davy Jones isn’t a gracious loser

This movie over a decade old yet the cgi is still incredible

I think my favorite part is when Davy Jones says "well done, Master Turner", and knocks the ashes from his pipe like a polite golf-clap. As theatrical as Jones is, it's fascinating to see him lose so gracefully. He doesn't even try to cheat or go back on his wager. It really shows how confident Davy Jones is about his position as the ferryman of the dead- sure, he lost one of his crew, but someone will fill in the gap eventually. As both Turners have shown him, there are plenty of desperate men out there.

3:20 I think it’s crazy that Davy Jones manages to still be a very serious character despite all his random goofy sounds that come out of nowhere, such as this one.

This makes the scene make more sense. Always thought it was weird Will taunted Jones about walking away when he hadn't even walked to the table to play

"Your fate is to be married to the ship." He was right

I love the subtle details of this scene. 1. Davy Jones using black dice. 2. That little snort Davy Jones does when talking about women. 3. How Davy Jones stutters on the word "married." 4. It's been mentioned, but Davy Jones stating Will's fate is to be married to the ship is excellent foreshadowing. 5. Davy Jones knocking his pipe on his claw to simulate clapping. 6. How Will's father's expression changes from happiness to worry upon Will asking for another game. 7. How Davy Jones sounds human, almost afraid, when saying, "How do you know of the key?"

*A good movie can build tension without a single bit of fighting. This is a prime example.*

1:20 "You're a desperate man. What is the cause? It can only be a woman." *thunderclap* Never realized it but that thunderclap was Calypso, or at the very least symbolic of Calypso as we learn in the next film

"You can't best the devil twice, son" "Cap, in like 2 weeks I'll have your job."

I don't understand the decision to cut down this scene, I really don't. It's only 4 extra minutes, but it adds SOOOO much to the movie. The writing is fucking flawless. Seriously stupid move by the people in charge.

"Your fate is to be married to the ship." That's a brilliant little bit of foreshadowing. He was right just not in the way he thought.

Davy Jones takes losing the first game surprisingly well, considering he just lost ownership of a member of his crew. I wish they had kept this scene in. It makes it all the more tragic that Will's father wins his freedom only to lose it again moments later to keep Will from losing the game.

Will went from the most unpopular guy on the Dutchman to the most popular then right back to the most unpopular. Poor guy lol!

This scene is so much more important than it seems, and needed to be left in. In the final cut, his father putting up his eternity of servitude doesn't have much of an impact because he's already stuck there. It's kinda like if you're already burning alive, there's not much more damage more fuel can do to you. But this scene re-contextualizes the moment. William has just won his father's freedom, and you can see the joy on his face to be free. But the moment Will puts himself in the path of the gun, Bill doesn't hesitate to throw that freedom away for his son. His sacrifice means so much more with the added context of him getting his freedom back moments before. Without this scene, the moment is good, but not nearly as great as it could have been

All the mannerisms captured by the special effects and Bill Nighy’s performance behind the motion capture. The quick headturns, the soft cruel laughter, his mockery of love and women because of his own legend, the over-pronunciation of certain syllables… holding his pipe with the tentacles from his beard, the smoke coming out from pores and his mouth… Davy Jones is just fascinating in every way. And they did all that in one movie. Build him up for an hour until the big reveal and holy crab!

The CG on Jones is incredible especially on the face, it’s just incredible how they made it look slimy and octopus like, yet pulled off making him look human with a sun kissed face

I don't care what anyone says, Bill Nighy just brought this character to life. Everything from his mannerisms, his personality, villainous charisma. I would love to see more of him as Davy Jones.

It's a shame they cut this scene. The writing, acting, music, and special effects are all working together so well. I especially love the details in Davy Jones's CGI: the dice sticking to his suckers, the little puff of smoke out the side of his face, each tentacle moving naturally and independently. I feel sorry for the animators who spent so many hours on that only to have it left out of the film.

I'm here after watching Lord Ravenscraft's breakdown of this scene.

love how when he ashes his pipe its also like a slow clap.

Say what you will about Davy Jones. He was fully ready to let Bootstrap go

The "I choose my own fate" response of "then is it really fate?" Is absolutely one of the coolest lines to use there.

I’ll never understand why this cut wasn’t included in the final movie, it’s only a couple minutes longer but gives so much more context and meaning to the second game

“Your fate is to be married to this ship” “I choose my own fate” they were both right

They should have totally put this in the final cut

"You can't best the devil twice, son." Not sure why, but that's probably my favorite line from all of Davy Jones's lines.

A sad shame this got cut out, it's got a lot of great depth and really enhances the stakes of the scene.

"You can't best the devil twice son. " that's got to be the best line from Davy Jones.

Say what you will about the films, but I have always loved the designs of Jones and his crew. The undead crew of the Pearl were iconic, but each one is incredibly unique and stands out on his own. I also love how they’re all a combination of corpses, ship parts, and marine flora and fauna.

I really love how Davy Jones breathes the smoke out of that little hole. Such a subtle but very cool feature.

Pure silence Only the sound of dice Whispers *Truly perfect scene*

*Rules* 1: Each player has 5 dice 2: Each round begins by the players shaking their dice inside opaque cups and putting them head down on the table 3: Each player look at their dice without showing them to the rest (you can do this at any point in the game) 4: The first player has to try and guess how many dices of a certain type are in total *including the dice from the other players* 5: The next player has to either augment the "amount" of dice from the previous bid, or augment the "number of" the dice bidded on. -For example if the first player calls for Three 4´s. The next player can say either *Four 4´s* or *Three 5´s* -You don´t have to necessarily augment the values by only one. You could very well call for Seven 4´s on your turn and that´s fine. 6: If at any point the next player doubts there are as many dice of the amount called from the previous player he can call the previous player a Liar. 7: Once someone has been called a Liar all cups go up and you count the dice to see if they match OR EXCEED the bid from the player who was called a Liar. -If the dice on the table match or exceed that last bid the player who called Liar loses -If there arent enough dice to match the bid then the player who made the last bid loses. 8: Next round. Player who won begins this time ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Optional Rules: (because there weren´t enough already) 1: 1´s are wild meaning they count for any value to all players. 2: You can half the amount of dice bidded on by turning them into 1´s -Meaning if the last player called for *Nine 6´s* you can then call for *Five 1´s* (halving the amount) -The next player if he wants to turn the 1´s into any other number has to double them. (So from Five 1´s you´d have to go to *Ten 2´s* for example) 3: Each time a player loses a round the lose a dice 4: You can sometimes call for an open hand round. Meaning each player shows their dice to the rest but can´t see their own That one wil fuck you up 5: You can "Call" the last players bid. So basically you can agree to whatever the last player before you said and if he was right you win. If he was wrong you lose. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can bet money, shots, sips, your soul, your car, your house, your children´s college fund, your hopes and dreams or just play for fun but honestly who does that

I actually PREFER this...we kinda get a deeper look into Jones...he’ll make a bet, and even if it’s one he thinks you can’t beat, if you do...he’ll honor it

This scene, the one where Governor Swann attempts to stab the heart, and the scene where Beckett and jack discuss their history together are three of the best deleted scenes in any film series, and I really wish they'd remained in the final cut of the films. This whole franchise is massively underrated and frankly deserves a director's cut for DMC and AWE. Sadly I don't think we'll ever get one.

3:19 that little interaction between Jones and Bootstrap cracked me up 😂

“Ye can’t best the devil twice” Jack Sparrow: 🤣

Tho Jones is a bit of a "monster" he is a very honorable man, he never cheats out the people he makes bets with. And he honors the bet. Even when will said to play another game jones gave warning that he couldn't win again instead of just immediately jumping into it.

I love the "that which is dearest to a man's heart" showing the parchment with the key to the chest containing his very heart.

They need to do a whole trilogy with Davey Jones front and center like good Lord this is one of the best villains ever crafted.

Bill Nighy deserves an Oscar for his performance. You couldn’t have gotten a better person to play Davy Jones.

Noone: Davy Jones: "chuoa" (3:20)

What I find very interesting about the scene is right before the second game starts, Jones is actually frightened at the fact that Will knows about the key, and even more interesting you can see the very moment he realizes he can't back down without looking like a coward. He was as stiff as a board as he was sitting down, saying nothing.

Waitress: "Do you have any questions about the menu?" Me: 3:27

“You’re a desperate man...what is the cause, haha...it can only be a Woman.” Chills every time

Why did they take that out? Not just that it's a great scene, but it also explains why bill bids in to begin with

I miss movies like these. Simple, like the mummy. Blockbusters aren't meant to send a "message"

I like how it's so completely animated that you can tell it was a last minute decision to delete it

now make a sense why bootstrap join in the game, he's already free so he can join without jones punish him

Oh. my. God. I am just astounded. This movie came out in 200-bloody-6 and the cg for jones still looks incredible. He looks so real! It actually looks like they transformed bill nighy into an octopus crab man for this movie!

I think this scene adds a lot and it's a shame it was cut. If they wanted to cut runtime, they should've shortened the cannibal island gauntlet by a few minutes. This scene is narratively incredible. First, Will offering a smaller wager (though still a big one) first is a great way of ramping up the stakes and tension. Then during the first game, Jones and Will both get amazing character moments; we see just how bitter Jones is, but he's not evil for the sake of it. He is snarky and his words ooze cunning, but he's not bad-mannered in conversation. Will on the other hand is shown as hopeful and unwavering in the face of a man (squid?) who has given in to despair. The again, Bootstrap Bill joining in on the second game only serves to make his sacrifice worth more. He had JUST got his freedom through Will's cunning and luck, yet when Will is prepared to throw himself in the fire, Bill doesn't even hesitate to jump in and damn himself once again to save his son. An already impactful moment turned downright tragically heroic by the added context. Finally, winning the first bet showed us that Jones will honor a wager, even if it hurts him. He clearly doesn't like letting go of Bootstrap, but was perfectly willing to. This ups the stakes for the second game, where we now know he won't simply back down from a wager, so the bet on the key is even more tense because we know he won't just say "Nah fam I'm good" if Will wins.

I love Davy Jones as a character. He’s cruel but really lives by the rules.

They should have kept this scene in. It would have made so much more sense

“I chose my own fate” “Then it wouldn’t be fate” That’s some pretty wise thinking. Never woulda thought of that

I like how Jones has the thunder vouching for everything he does, or quote he slings x/D haha- thunderrrrrrrrrrrr

Fantastic acting by Bill Nighy on playing Davy Jones

Anakin would love to join Jones crew. He calls all the newbies "Master"

I have to say thay Jones's CGI is the best I have ever seen. Edit: Thanks for the likes!

This scene hits way harder after learning Will just won his fathers freedom just soo his dad can lose his freedom again crazy

Love the eel just chilling in the guys stomach behind will lol

"You can't best the devil twice, son!" "Then why are you walking away?" DAAAAAMN SON!!! XD

3:20 “HuuwAGH!”

This scene is fantastic. Movies nowadays don't seem to be capable of this anymore.

The strategy to win liars dice is: say if you have three 5s, you actually bet three of a number you have none of instead (lower than 5), so when your opponent bets four of that number, you can either call his bluff or bet four 5s (knowing you have 3 and giving great odds that there's a fourth). The opponent is then either forced to call bluff and likely lose, or make a tough bet that you can then call out. I don't suppose anyone is gonna be able to follow what I'm saying lol 🤪

This scene adds so much quality to the story. It even explains why Bootstrap joined in, which always confused me, whatever reasons people tried to explain it by. This, though, makes sense.

Davy Jones: My pole is 8 inches long Will Turner: Mine is 9 Will’s dad: HOLD MY SQUID

There needs to be a collector's edition of the movie with this scene added back in. It's excellent stuff.

The actor who plays Davy Jones does a really good job. Just the way he changes his tone is phenomenal.

"The Die is Cast"- is quoting Caesar in a speech before battle. "Alea Iacta Est" in Latin.

"A woman need not cause you to be desperate if you choose the right women" Hoohooooohh....if only he (at that moment) knew who he was saying that to...

This movie is still one of the most visually amazing even years later and I will always love the nautical designs they went with for Davy Jones and his crew.

I love William Turner! And this scene was awesome!

I can't help but stare at that Eel behind Will and the little shrimp on his right.

The 2000s was the last era where solid quality movies were just made regularly

I have no idea why they would cut this scene, It's incredibly in every way from the great acting to the amazing CGI (which was made in 2006 and still holds up great in 2022 which says a lot) and with great memorable quotes.

I wish they would’ve kept this scene. The foreshadowing in this scene would’ve made such a huge impact on the ending. The parallelism in the dialogue is unreal! Good writing at its finest.

This cut makes the entire exchange more fluent in terms of pacing, and builds both Davy Jones and Bills character, with Davy Jones revealing his distaste for love, as well as seeing how even though his son had just won him his freedom, he still threw it away to protect his son (and he had already been on the ship for years)

0:53 When the music from Curse of the Black Pearl played, I legit got chills

First time seeing this extended version of this scene, and wow. It was already my favorite scene from this movie and top 3 scenes from the trilogy, but this extended one is even better. Several top-notch lines from Will (Bloom is simply fantastic in these movies) and Davy Jones. It adds more to the scene after Will wins a game with such high stakes, and wants to play again, only to lose his prize that he won in the first game. It also strengthens the relationship between Bill and Will, as Bill takes the fall for Will losing the second game, after winning his freedom minutes before. Truly a shame they cut it down

I miss when movies could allow a scene to play through without jokes interrupting the tension and grinding it to a halt

This is a damn good scene. I wish they'd kept it in the movie. The acting is excellent. Davy Jones is one of my favorite villains

This scene actually fleshes out even more about what happens in the film I feel. How the game really goes in real time, a better reason that Will is emboldened to bet his soul, and reveals that while Jones can be cruel at times, he is by all means not as cutthroat as the tales show. He shows he is willing to honor the bargain and even gives Will a chance to step back before he made a terrible mistake. I hope they make an extended edition of this and put this scene back in

The softer spoken Jones makes him an even more interesting character

The fact that this was cut, an extra 3 minutes in the dice game wouldnt have hurt the film guys, more davy jones is always great

Out of all the deleted scenes that I’ve seen from various films, I wish that they would’ve kept this in It shows that before Will even attempted to find out about the key he was willing to risk his freedom to save his father & it then makes Bill’s sacrifice to save Will from servitude aboard the Dutchman that much more meaningful & heart breaking

3:20 I am so sorry if I can't help myself in laughing at this scene. 😂😂😂 Like I'm aware that with a face like that and position he is in, Davy Jones truly is a man to be feared on. But the way he was able to scare Bootstrap Bill Turner away with a snort, imitating a Pig (Oooohhh Scary), I just couldn't😂😂😂

There is *so* much more context with the first game included here. Even on one small line, "You can still walk away," coming on the heels of Will asking Jones "Then why are you walking away?" I understand why it was most likely cut from the final version of the film, but I wish it hadn't been.

Now that's in depth, this should have totally made it into the movie.

I wish this wasn’t cut down because, one there are soo many good quotes in this and two it’s just an amazing scene, no fighting just a game of liars dice to choose what happens to those who are involved.

A word of advice, mates. You can't best the Devil twice.

I love the line “ that which is dearest to a man’s heart” because he’s talking about the witch Calypso who took his heart

Ah, I remember how I introduced my friends to this game last summer. They all knew it because of this scene, but only I knew the rules, as I loved the movie so much I decided to learn the game on my own. So one day I brought the box at the bathhouse where we hang out and decided to start playing. One of the best and worst ideas I ever had. So many friendships on the verge of breaking, but so much fun at the same time! They loved it so much that a girl in our group bought her own set and started playing it with her husband. I honestly can't wait to see them again and start all over
