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

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.
The scene where Jack is in limbo is actually a play on Davy Jones' Locker being a personalized hell for each sailor who dies at sea, where they live their worst nightmares forever. Jack always says he loves the sea and being the one and only Captain Jack Sparrow, which means his punishment is to be stuck on an infinite dry desert and with a lot of copies of himself. With the help of Calypso the others can enter Jack's own hell and thus there finally is a sea to sail on
People have said this so many times already but the CGI on the first three POTC films are some of the most remarkable CGI work I have ever seen. Bill Nighy deserves an Oscar for his portrayal of Davey Jones. Imagine feeling what you felt in this movie towards an Octopus.
Great CGI does not need particularly advanced computers. It could already be done in the 90s. It just takes a lot of time. And of course, time is money. Bad CGI is generally just cheap CGI. It's not that the animators or their hardware is bad, but that they are given a budget and whatever they have when it runs out is what ends up in the movie.
@Yora bad CGI isn't just cheap CGI. Bad CGI is when the director has no clue what they want and the producers have no clue what they want and that whatever each one wants the other one wants something different and they bicker and argue back and forth all the meanwhile they simultaneously treat their vfx artists like shit and work them to the bone constantly changing what it is they're supposed to be creating for the film until they eventually run out of time as the producers said the movie was going to be released by a certain date so that the company can make a certain quota for that quarter of the year. And so we the audience are left with a film with very expensive cgi that was mostly done last minute because the people who were supposed to know what they wanted before they started didn't know and deadlines gotta be met. This is also known as Marvel. The whole reason Gore Verbinskis Pirates movies have some of the best CGI there ever was still to this day starts with the fact that Gore Verbinski knew what the hell he wanted from the get go. So instead of having no direction and a bunch of last minute changes/ideas being forced on overworked vfx artists, the Pirates had a clear vision, a clear goal, clear direction and they worked their asses off to achieve exactly that. And, that is why the Visual Effects of the Pirates Movies are still praised today and why, for the most part, we are forced to suffer through the bullshit we are given by present-day filmmakers. Unless they are James Cameron, to which everything I said about Gore Verbinskis Pirates equally applies (not story, Avatar story sucks/unoriginal/stolen, just visual effects, visual effects are in a league of their own)
I think it's interesting that Masi Oka of "Heroes" was one of the animators of the movies, and he was one of the inventors of the groundbreaking water effects used.
@@marcusd450 The immaterial refers to magical and/or supernatural things. As Beckett is a businessman first, he doesn't care about them and assumes that others do not either.

It’s implied that the reason they were able to capture calypso is because she shared to much with Jones. She’s a shape shifter, sometimes she’s the ocean itself, sometimes she is a storm, and sometimes she’s a woman. At some point in their romance she either revealed or he found out that the only way to “stop” her would be to bind her in a single form. And when she didn’t show up for their ten year rendezvous, he had no more incentive to keep any of the secrets she shared with him. So he got the pirates on his side by appealing to their desire to master the sea by their own skills, not by the whims of a fickle goddess. So he told them what they needed to do to trap her, on the condition that she never be released.
Yeah. In the second one they debated about what "vexed" Davy Jones. "The sea?" "A woman?" And Tia Dalma says that they're different versions of the same story but that they're both true.
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.
Davey Jones is such a tragic character. When Calypso stood him up it hurt him so deeply that he cut out his heart in order to not feel the pain. That's why he starts crying when the heart is brought back on the Flying Dutchman, because when the heart is close he starts to feel the pain again. Unfortunately, removing his heart also made him cruel and twisted.
I like how George is wondering if Zheng Yi Sao will show up in later movies then she appears at the Brethren Court as Mistress Ching, Pirate Lord of the Pacific Ocean. Also, here’s the list of the Pirate Lords and which Sea/Ocean they rule. Captain Jack Sparrow - Caribbean Sea Hector Barbossa - Caspian Sea Sao Feng, later Elizabeth Swan - South China Sea Captain Teague, Jack’s dad - Madagascar Captain Ammand - Black Sea Captain Chevalle - Mediterranean Sea Captain Eduardo Villanueva - Adriatic Sea Mistress Ching - Pacific Ocean Gentleman Jocard - Atlantic Ocean Sri Sumbhajee - Indian Ocean
What is this, the 12 Pirates of Christmas? 10 Pirate lords, and 9 pieces of 8? But really... if each lord has a piece, and there are 9 pieces, why are there 10 lords? Is Teague actually a lord? I assumed his role was strictly as keeper of the code? Which is why I figured he wasn't part of the table meeting until the code was brought up.
@@Galiant2010 Teague was Pirate Lord of Madagascar before he became Keeper of the Code. So technically there were 10 Pirate Lords present, but only 9 voting members of the Brethren Court.
@@AndrewJamesGordon But earlier in the movie Barbossa says something like "It took 9 pirate lords to bind you, it'll take 9 to set you free" to Tia Dalma. Or he says it to someone about freeing her. But my point is that the statement sounds grandiose, like it took all of them to do it one way, so now it'll take all of them to undo it.
I love how when Will asks Elizabeth to marry him during the battle and says “I’ve made my choice, what’s yours?” She looks up and yells for Barbosa. The look on Will’s face before she says “Marry us!” is hilarious. His face is like, “Wait, when was he an option?“
The Maelstrom bit did (does?) hold the record for the largest film set ever made. A greenscreen warehouse with both ships on a turnstile with water pumped in just above freezing (to avoid germs) Beckett's death is one of the most satisfying villain deaths in film history. The cinematography is top-notch.
The green flash is an atmospheric phenomenon that occurs at sunrise and sunset in the tropics when conditions are right. It usually happens just as the Sun's disc pops above the horizon on sunrise, and just as it disappears at sunset. It can only be seen with the eyes and captured on film, but cannot be captured with a digital camera. As to the dilemma of what to do about their separation, well, does she fear death? After their son/children are grown, She could arrange her death at sea, and just become part of the crew.
There was a scene cut out that said that if the lover remains true for the ten years, he'll be free. Not sure why they cut that part out, but left in the stinger at the end. Much less of a downer.
The writer of at worlds end has confirmed this aswell, but Will is in dead men tell no tales where he is doomed to do this for eternity even tho Elizabeth stayed faithful. But i personally cant stand the last 2 movies anyways, so i always see the first 3 as a complete story where Will is free at the end of the 10 years and just disregard the last 2 as alternate universe or something. It was after all the original creators intention that Will was free at the end of the movie.
about the coins: The Spanish dollar coin was worth eight reales and could be physically cut into eight pieces, or "bits," to make change -- hence the colloquial name "pieces of eight." The dollar coin could also be cut into quarters, and "two bits" became American slang for a quarter dollar, or 25 cents.
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.
God, that deleted scene of Beckett and Jack meeting is _so_ much beyter than the one we ended up with... "You took something away from me Jack, precious cargo which you had no right to set free." "... people ain't cargo, mate..."
I love this trilogy with small details linking the films, for example Elizabeth asking Barbossa to marry them. She only knew that he could marry them because Jack told her that Captains could preform a wedding in Dead Mans Chest. Another little detail nobody mentions is that Will is stabbed and killed by the very sword he made for Norrington in Curse of the Black Pearl. Also when Ti Dalma (Calypso) meets Will for the first time she says "You have a touch of destiny about you, William Turner." Which was foreshadowing his fate. Such a great trilogy with a stellar cast. Truly one of my favourite trilogies of the 2000s.
The destiny line she repeats in this movie right after they talk about stabbing the heart of Davy Jones. So she knew it would be Will that would stab it.
Honestly I count this film as having one of the best final battles of all time. A lot going on, epic set pieces, tying up plot points, the best wedding ever, and yet you never feel lost or disinterested which is where other big end battles sometimes have trouble. It really is a great wrap up to the trilogy even though it had its ups and downs. Now just stop here there are no other movies.
Ah, you cut out the one line in this film that makes me howl with laughter every time. The Indian pirate, when he speaks in that really high pitched voice after the Pirate King vote. 😆
I was supposed to be just a photo double for Omid Djalili, who was to play both twins, but we looked so much alike while shooting, That they left a few shots in the movie with me in them. Marshall, who played Sri Sumbhajee, and I both worked on the same episode of "How I Met Your Mother" and we almost didn't recognize each other because we weren't wearing our beards and turbans.
Just a note, Neuschwanstein is the castle that inspired the Disney castle. Maybe the castle you mentioned inspired a castle from a particular movie, but not the main Disney castle we see in the openings, etc.
I know one of the theories is that Davy Jones Locker is supposed to be based on every man's personal hell and because Jack Sparrow loves being free which is why he has the flying Sparrow on his arm his personal hell is where the Pearl sat unable to sail
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.
This is actually my favorite of the trilogy (yes… I only recognize a trilogy of these). The ending has just that right sort of melancholy ending that old sea tales used to have.
Apparently multiple castles inspired the Disney version. On your next visit to Europe, the castle Neu Schwanstein (Southern Germany, in Bavaria) is mind-boggling. It was built by Lüdwig the 2nd of Bavaria, and dedicated to his fondness for everything Wagner. Imagine a king's bedroom with revolving planetarium above his bed, a 'grotto' (cave) to pass inbetween rooms, and much more. It's crazy. (the guy was called 'crazy Louie' by his people). It has a stunning view of the alps and is located on top of a hill/mountain. (featured - amongst others - in the movie 'Monument's Men').
If you still need a Pirate fix after this I'd really recommend checking out the "Black Sails" series. It is a prequel to "Treasure Island" steeped in the pirate lore surrounding the Pirate Republic on New Providence Island in the early 18th century. No magic, just a maelstrom of morally grey, brilliantly written characters, shifting alliances and plotting betrayal with every second breath. It's an absolute gem and it deserves more love. Regardless, thanks for these reactions guys, you're both a blast to watch😄
At the end of the second movie, Tia-dalma already had Barbossa back to life, even before she knew Jack got sent to Limbo ... because she knew she'll need him for her eventual release 😁 the whole thing about needing a captain to help get Jack back was just being at the right place in the right time
47:58 Simone's not too far off! In Much Ado About Nothing, the character Benedick says to Beatrice: "I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap, and be buried in thy eyes; and moreover I will go with thee to thy uncle's."
Despite the fact they shot this with only half a script ready for production, it's actually amazing they got what they got. However I do feel the entire limbo scene with the multiple Jacks could have been severely cut or removed entirely.
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.
36:35 George Orwell once wrote an article about making a proper cup of tea, and he said never to put in sugar - lemon or milk, but not sugar. “Tea should be bitter, like life.”
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
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.
Ha, is that a greenscreen error at @36:57? When the guy looks out across the sea, the side of the ship he rests on is transparent! Can't recall ever noticing that before...
The reason they're not in Honk Kong is that it was but a small village at the time, while Singapore was a famous pirate haven. And considering the fact that Zheng Yi Sao was born about half a century later, I doubt she'll be making an appearance in the movie.
It's a small nitpick, but the gallows scenes in these movies, with a trapdoor drop and the style of noose used, are American style from a century after the films are set. In the early and mid-1700s, they still would've been performing hanging executions in the British style with the condemned wearing a simpler looped noose and being pushed from a platform or having something like a cart or stool pulled out from under them. The British method was to cause an extended strangulation rather than a quick neck break since a hanging was a public event as much as a punishment. If the struggling lasted too long though, then people would pull on the condemned to increase the pressure on their neck until it broke or their already meager supply of air was fully cut off to finally kill them.
The funny part about Elizabeth...is every damn guy she kissed died, jack in the last movie, sao feng died like...5 seconds later after kissing her...norrington like...5 seconds after kissing her...will died after like idk 10 15 minutes of kissing her so he held out pretty well lol😂 really provides evidence to what gibbs said about women on the ship is bad luck jn the 1st movie lmao
Tons of my favorite reactions come from y'all. This one was so much fun and I have to say, became my motivation to become a Patron. Or the Bourbon. Or both. 😆 Anyway, great reaction as always. Can't wait to see what's next!
Beckett is a great villain, and I love how you basically see Davy Jones as his attack dog for most of the movie. Really encapsulates the whole theme of "monsters and gods and pirates are dying out"
This movie had the best soundtrack out of all of them! I listen to it often and it just brings back so many feels and emotion - esp since i watched this in the cinema with my 2nd girlfriend back when i was about 15yrs old 🥰
My favorite movie of all the series and probably of all time haha, I can't remember how many times I had watched this movie in both English and Spanish.
The reason the coins are called pieces of eight is because that's what the British called the Spanish dollar during pirate times, it was worth eight pieces and people would literally cut them up to make smaller values like a quarter. Pirate history is weird
I see folks recommending Master and Commander, and I could not agree more.💯 Oh, and can somebody let George know that they ROLLED the ship over, they did not pitch it over. LOL 😁✌
I feel like Elizabeth earned her story arch from Governor's Hoity daughter to Pirate queen, seriously the definition of "Girl Boss" Because she earned the hell out of it.
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!
Originally Will was supposed to serve for 10 years and if she kept his heart he could return for good, but after a while they retconned that via Word of God.
@@lorettabes4553 so I'm nearly finished Black Sails and you were right its incredible 👍 and whoever said it's like pirates game of thrones was also right 😂
3:45 The ole butt blunderbuss. 35:40 Funny enough one of the first RUclips 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.
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.
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.

To be fair, at first he did tell them he was a little too busy at the moment. lol

There was a scene cut out that said that if the lover remains true for the ten years, he'll be free. Not sure why they cut that part out, but left in the stinger at the end. Much less of a downer.
Because they decide to have it be a permanent
The writer of at worlds end has confirmed this aswell, but Will is in dead men tell no tales where he is doomed to do this for eternity even tho Elizabeth stayed faithful. But i personally cant stand the last 2 movies anyways, so i always see the first 3 as a complete story where Will is free at the end of the 10 years and just disregard the last 2 as alternate universe or something. It was after all the original creators intention that Will was free at the end of the movie.
That wouldn't really work with the plot of the fifth movie, though, where him being stuck on the Dutchman is kind of an important plot point.
But the Dutchman must always have a captain. Maybe that's why they removed it, it was too hard to explain.
@@HaganeNoGijutsushi Maybe someone gets promoted lol
about the coins: The Spanish dollar coin was worth eight reales and could be physically cut into eight pieces, or "bits," to make change -- hence the colloquial name "pieces of eight." The dollar coin could also be cut into quarters, and "two bits" became American slang for a quarter dollar, or 25 cents.
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.
God, that deleted scene of Beckett and Jack meeting is _so_ much beyter than the one we ended up with...
"You took something away from me Jack, precious cargo which you had no right to set free."
"... people ain't cargo, mate..."
I love this trilogy with small details linking the films, for example Elizabeth asking Barbossa to marry them. She only knew that he could marry them because Jack told her that Captains could preform a wedding in Dead Mans Chest. Another little detail nobody mentions is that Will is stabbed and killed by the very sword he made for Norrington in Curse of the Black Pearl. Also when Ti Dalma (Calypso) meets Will for the first time she says "You have a touch of destiny about you, William Turner." Which was foreshadowing his fate. Such a great trilogy with a stellar cast. Truly one of my favourite trilogies of the 2000s.
The destiny line she repeats in this movie right after they talk about stabbing the heart of Davy Jones. So she knew it would be Will that would stab it.
Honestly I count this film as having one of the best final battles of all time. A lot going on, epic set pieces, tying up plot points, the best wedding ever, and yet you never feel lost or disinterested which is where other big end battles sometimes have trouble. It really is a great wrap up to the trilogy even though it had its ups and downs. Now just stop here there are no other movies.
Captain Teague isn't just Jack Sparrows Dad.
It's Keith Richard's playing him
And Keith Richard's is Johnny Depp's inspiration for Jack Sparrows look
Ah, you cut out the one line in this film that makes me howl with laughter every time. The Indian pirate, when he speaks in that really high pitched voice after the Pirate King vote. 😆
"And so, we will go to war!"
I was supposed to be just a photo double for Omid Djalili, who was to play both twins, but we looked so much alike while shooting, That they left a few shots in the movie with me in them. Marshall, who played Sri Sumbhajee, and I both worked on the same episode of "How I Met Your Mother" and we almost didn't recognize each other because we weren't wearing our beards and turbans.
Just a note, Neuschwanstein is the castle that inspired the Disney castle. Maybe the castle you mentioned inspired a castle from a particular movie, but not the main Disney castle we see in the openings, etc.
But his point that it's prettier than Disney castle still stands.
31:16 - "who is that?!" - that's only Keith Richards, guitarist of the Rolling Stones and a major inspiration for Jack Sparrow's character.
Gosh I feel old. Peace All
@@garetjax19 Right?!? Every time a “reactor” doesn’t recognize Keith Richards, a little part of me dies.
Simone: "it's so calming castle"
Disney: "alright, thats enough. TIME TO CHILD EXECUTION!!!"
I know one of the theories is that Davy Jones Locker is supposed to be based on every man's personal hell and because Jack Sparrow loves being free which is why he has the flying Sparrow on his arm his personal hell is where the Pearl sat unable to sail
Simone's joyful little cry "And a Wedding!"
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!
Love thatn he can often predict later plot twists/reveals with one or two tiny hints given.
Broad background knowledge rules.
Jack's dream is the freedom of the sailing the open sea, so it makes sense that his hell is a desert.
Please watch Master and Commander. Not many channels have done it and it’s an absolute masterpiece.
^What he said.
For sure.
Agreed. Same tech, told through the lens of humanity, maybe less pirates
yes please
Absolutely!
The end of this movie made me cry like a baby. I usually don’t care for movie romances but Elizabeth and Will won my heart😭❤️
It’s cause they had an arc with tons of conflict. Both of them are very fleshed out characters. You end up caring about them by the end.
♫ When the jaws open wide and there's more jaws inside, thats a Moray. ♫
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.
You don't get hung, George. You get hanged. You're not a tapestry.
(if you get this reference, you a real one & I love you)
An overcomplicated plot can always be forgiven when the characters are this GREAT
I absolutely love the banter and witty conversation between the two of you.
Good job.
This is actually my favorite of the trilogy (yes… I only recognize a trilogy of these). The ending has just that right sort of melancholy ending that old sea tales used to have.
You are right. There is only the trilogy. The sequels are okay adventure movies, but very weak PotC movies.
31:24 I'm at least happy that the dog escaped the island of cannibals! 🐶
Apparently multiple castles inspired the Disney version. On your next visit to Europe, the castle Neu Schwanstein (Southern Germany, in Bavaria) is mind-boggling.
It was built by Lüdwig the 2nd of Bavaria, and dedicated to his fondness for everything Wagner. Imagine a king's bedroom with revolving planetarium above his bed, a 'grotto' (cave) to pass inbetween rooms, and much more. It's crazy. (the guy was called 'crazy Louie' by his people). It has a stunning view of the alps and is located on top of a hill/mountain. (featured - amongst others - in the movie 'Monument's Men').
36:02 Speaking of motivational speeches, I believe this channel has yet to react to Braveheart (1995).
If you still need a Pirate fix after this I'd really recommend checking out the "Black Sails" series. It is a prequel to "Treasure Island" steeped in the pirate lore surrounding the Pirate Republic on New Providence Island in the early 18th century. No magic, just a maelstrom of morally grey, brilliantly written characters, shifting alliances and plotting betrayal with every second breath. It's an absolute gem and it deserves more love. Regardless, thanks for these reactions guys, you're both a blast to watch😄
At the end of the second movie, Tia-dalma already had Barbossa back to life, even before she knew Jack got sent to Limbo ...
because she knew she'll need him for her eventual release 😁 the whole thing about needing a captain to help get Jack back was just being at the right place in the right time
47:58 Simone's not too far off! In Much Ado About Nothing, the character Benedick says to Beatrice: "I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap, and be buried in thy eyes; and moreover I will go with thee to thy uncle's."
2:53 It's like what Honest Trailers said about Will Tuner and Elizabeth Swann, "Two perfect faces in the middle of a scurvy ridden hellhole."
Despite the fact they shot this with only half a script ready for production, it's actually amazing they got what they got. However I do feel the entire limbo scene with the multiple Jacks could have been severely cut or removed entirely.
Please watch "All Quiet on the Western Front" (2022). Winner of 4 Oscars.
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.
Stagnetti's Revenge...oh, George you take me back 😂😂😂
You will see blackbeard. That man is Jack's dad. Edward Teague. Played by Keith Richards.
36:35 George Orwell once wrote an article about making a proper cup of tea, and he said never to put in sugar - lemon or milk, but not sugar. “Tea should be bitter, like life.”
3:13 if you mean Mackenzie Crook he played the British version of Dwight in the original U.K. Office 👍
I like to think that when Elizabeth Swan dies she can join the crew for rest of time
Who is that!? Just the biggest immortal rockstar of all times.
Loving the longer videos guys. Makes it much better!
Ouch!! Rope burn!!!!
Gotta love her
"He's making everybody run back and forth so it pitches."
Rolls, actually. It's just directional.
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
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.
Thanks for entertaining me tonight you two. I needed a good chuckle. : )
Ha, is that a greenscreen error at @36:57? When the guy looks out across the sea, the side of the ship he rests on is transparent! Can't recall ever noticing that before...
The reason they're not in Honk Kong is that it was but a small village at the time, while Singapore was a famous pirate haven. And considering the fact that Zheng Yi Sao was born about half a century later, I doubt she'll be making an appearance in the movie.
I didn't know they'd made a sequel to Pirates. Totally have to look that up now, the first one was hilarious
" The Kiss & Shackle " sounds like an English pub .
I think it's more the Calypso from Sinbad. I'm not sure if it's the same Calypso pretty sure it is but she guides Sinbad as a water goddess.
I like how, during the battle sequence, this went from CineBinge to an episode of Rifftrax.
It's a small nitpick, but the gallows scenes in these movies, with a trapdoor drop and the style of noose used, are American style from a century after the films are set. In the early and mid-1700s, they still would've been performing hanging executions in the British style with the condemned wearing a simpler looped noose and being pushed from a platform or having something like a cart or stool pulled out from under them. The British method was to cause an extended strangulation rather than a quick neck break since a hanging was a public event as much as a punishment. If the struggling lasted too long though, then people would pull on the condemned to increase the pressure on their neck until it broke or their already meager supply of air was fully cut off to finally kill them.
The funny part about Elizabeth...is every damn guy she kissed died, jack in the last movie, sao feng died like...5 seconds later after kissing her...norrington like...5 seconds after kissing her...will died after like idk 10 15 minutes of kissing her so he held out pretty well lol😂 really provides evidence to what gibbs said about women on the ship is bad luck jn the 1st movie lmao
36:45 Listen to the song in the beginning. It’s talking about how they did just that.
Tons of my favorite reactions come from y'all. This one was so much fun and I have to say, became my motivation to become a Patron. Or the Bourbon. Or both. 😆 Anyway, great reaction as always. Can't wait to see what's next!
Almost forgot I was watching Canadians and then a Stan Rogers reference brought me home
Beckett is a great villain, and I love how you basically see Davy Jones as his attack dog for most of the movie. Really encapsulates the whole theme of "monsters and gods and pirates are dying out"
This movie had the best soundtrack out of all of them! I listen to it often and it just brings back so many feels and emotion - esp since i watched this in the cinema with my 2nd girlfriend back when i was about 15yrs old 🥰
My favorite movie of all the series and probably of all time haha, I can't remember how many times I had watched this movie in both English and Spanish.
44:01 "Once was quite enough."
Yeah. Watch out for her, Jack. She'll make the rum disappear.
"I die in your lap.....or something like that." - Simone, 2023
The reason the coins are called pieces of eight is because that's what the British called the Spanish dollar during pirate times, it was worth eight pieces and people would literally cut them up to make smaller values like a quarter. Pirate history is weird
I see folks recommending Master and Commander, and I could not agree more.💯
Oh, and can somebody let George know that they ROLLED the ship over, they did not pitch it over. LOL 😁✌
And here’s me thinking they dollied it over!
3:13 Strange George. Because in this D&D movie he was a dwarf. ;)
I feel like Elizabeth earned her story arch from Governor's Hoity daughter to Pirate queen, seriously the definition of "Girl Boss" Because she earned the hell out of it.
Beckett's death scene is one of the most phenomenal moments of cinema.
i LOVE the ending, the tone feels so right
4:15 "Welcome to Singapore."
Oh. We're quite a distance from the Caribbean.
13:47 You see that? When you're a pirate, even the _afterlife_ doesn't rid you of _crabs._
Come for the odd thumbnail, stay for the intro, watch for the reaction. You guys are pros.
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!
Originally Will was supposed to serve for 10 years and if she kept his heart he could return for good, but after a while they retconned that via Word of God.
I think you two should react to Black Sails-a relatively short series at only 40 episodes. Really good, in my opinion.
I've heard it's like the pirate version of game of thrones 😂
@@lucas.2.3.9.4 I haven't seen GOT, but I'm bias to Black sails anyway. Black Sails is amazing. The writing is really good.
@@lorettabes4553 so I'm nearly finished Black Sails and you were right its incredible 👍 and whoever said it's like pirates game of thrones was also right 😂
This is one of those trilogies (yes, this is the last movie and nobody can convince me otherwise) that literally has it all. It's perfect.
Stabby stabby the thump-thump hahaaa
All these years later I'm still amazed by the CGI work on Davy Jones' tentacles..
"And it's no more." "No Moray." LMAO
3:45 The ole butt blunderbuss.
35:40 Funny enough one of the first RUclips 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.
18:18 - "they run back and forth so it pitches" - no George, so it rolls. 😜
"I'd like to board her ship, heh heh." George is thinking that, am I right? :)
One of the best inspirational speeches ever is Bill Murray in Stripes.
I love the pirates call song at the beginning.
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.
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.
