There are 3 improvised moments in the movie that stands out, first one you mentioned - that none of the crew knew that Geoffrey Rush was returning to the series, and was making a surprise cameo at the end. Second one was the kiss between Elizabeth and Jack before she chains him up was not put in the scripts, the actors were told the scene on the spot, but no one told Orlando Bloom, so his reaction to seeing the kissing scene is also genuine. Third one, and perhaps the best with the Barbossa cameo at the end, is the Jar of Dirt song and fall before it. Jack was supposed to taunt Jones in a creative fashion, but Depp did actually accidently fall down the stairs which is why when he continues the scene and the improvised scene with song, the "dafuq?" look each of the cast gives each other as he passes is also genuine.

Also, at the end, Will isn't going to save Jack because he wants to save Jack.

I actually really like the "trilogy." Yeah, the second and third movies take a pretty big departure from the first movie, but they all have a few things in common. They all feel like the cast and crew are both having fun while also caring about the material. I've heard that Geoffrey Rush (Captain Barbossa) would talk extensively with the writers and director about his character and the story and they all had a blast coming up with interesting ideas, and it shows on screen. And there are some really neat subtle stories being told, like how Lord Beckett already knew Jack, or the trickery that occurs during the dice game.

This movie was released in 2006. It's now 2023. That's a time span of 17 years. Nearly TWO decades and still this film's visuals hold up incredibly well. Not to mention, the movie's plot is actually super air tight. AND it's actually a pretty solid foundation for _Avengers Infinity War_ too when you think about it. It does what a sequel should, elevate the world, challenge the characters, and progress the story. For a lot of modern day movies, the main problem is lack of *goals, stakes and urgency.* but here in _Dead Man's Chest_ those three keys to creating a powerful script are perfectly laid out. *Goals:* Jack needs the key to the chest to escape Davy Jones, Will needs the key to the chest to save Elizabeth, Elizabeth needs the key to help Will, Norrington needs the key to the chest to escape his poverty status. *Stakes:* if Jack fails he dies, if Will fails Elizabeth dies, then his new goal of helping his father comes into play and if he fails his father is stuck forever, if Elizabeth fails Will is gone etc. *Urgency:* There's no specific time crunch and that's the most brilliant thing about this movie. You just know there IS a time crunch, but you don't know when ish could hit the fan thus making you the viewer constantly on edge. It's brilliant writing. EVERYTHING the characters do is because of ONE thing: the chest. Every time you wonder "why is this character in a coffin at sea, why are they stuck on this island-oh to get the key oh what does he need that for oh the chest." it's genius. And this is why a movie will be either good or bad-you need to care about the characters and their journey if you don't care about the characters and their needs, why care about the plot if you don't care about the plot then the movie becomes white noise if the movie is white noise it just did not do its job which is to entertain.

There are notoriously deleted scenes from this film that would've made At World's End a little more coherent; for example, the liar's dice game between Will and Jones had an entire first round containing major Foreshadowing towards Will's fate and enough fuel to imply the reasoning for Jones' disposition. Another had Elizabeth show her papers from Beckett to Jack, who sticks his tongue out in disgust and further emphasizing their personal enmity towards one another, while another expanded on the scene where the Kraken hunts down Will (in particular, Bootstrap attempts to pin the blame on Jack for Will retrieving the key, to which Jones responds, "What makes you think it's your son that's being punished here?"). And significantly (or not), the scene after Will being whipped had Will Calling the Old Man Out and mentioning Barbossa, to which Bootstrap asks, "Who's Barbossa?" This foreshadows what would eventually happen to him in the next film.

This is one of my all time favorite films; just from the opening sequence, I get goosebumps. The menacing music, the rain, a canceled wedding, and that shot of Beckett on horse on a boat and him giving orders 🤤.On of my favorite franchises!

For everything this movie doesn't do right, everything about Davy Jones is done amazingly. The look, the dark tone, the inner tragedy, even the weird comedic moments still make for my take on the best Pirates villain

I don't care what ANYONE says. This is one of my favorite movies of all time and in my opinion, one of the best. From the Kraken, The three man sword fight, Jack's attempt to find a new hat amid a massive bar brawl, even Will and Elizabeth who I think are enjoyable characters and that the movies suffered without someone in their roles, and of course one of the best villains of all time in Davy jones. To this day, the Kraken scenes are two of the best scenes I have ever seen in a film and I rewatch them rather regularly. Honestly, the only part of this movie I dislike is the whole cannibal island part. Yes it has some fun dark jokes, but it's so damn pointless.

19:16, at the time, Will wasn’t under the impression that Elizabeth Swann was in love with Sparrow. Now he is under that impression because he witnessed the kiss. That’s what changed.

Fun Fact about Pirate Terms: A popular pirate punishment was marooning. The pirate who was being punished was put on an island and left, sometimes for a few days, sometimes permanently. The "dead man's chest" is a small rocky island, so called because the rocks reminded pirates of a ribcage. It has no water or shade, and is so low that waves frequently wash over it. To be marooned on the "chest" was to be given a death sentence under the broiling Caribbean sun.

@matityaloran9157

It was also common to leave a marooned pirate with a gun with only one shot

3:51 If memory serves me right, this pertains to Jack’s father and mother, namely that Jack’s father had similarly been mistaken for a god, was worshipped, fell in love with one of the native women, and when Jack was born, the tribe took offense over her sleeping with their god and well you’ve seen the shrunken head.

I loved this movie when I was a child. The first Pirates of Caribbean didn’t grab me the way the sequel did, it expanded and made the characters of the first movie much more interesting. Til this day, it’s my favorite Pirates movie.

The compass was established as being magical in the first movie. Will: How are we supposed to find an island we can't find with a compass that doesn't point north? Mr. Gibbs: Aye, but we're not trying to find north, are we? This Conversation took place on their way to Isla Demuerta in the first movie Also, I can stand by every criticism you make here while not necessarily agreeing, but you implying The Mandalorian is better than this movie is criminal imo. Am I in the minority? Most definitely, but I don't care.

@@nadertayeh6809 Yeah, when I watched the first one, before this came out, I though they were implying the compass pointed to the island. He found an island that couldn't be found unless you knew where it was. How? Because he had a "broken" compass that told him where to go. The more detailed explanation that specified that it worked because what he really wanted was the treasure from the cursed isle was clearly not fully thought out before, but fits that just fine.

The Davy Jones aesthetics are absolutely mezmerising, everything about this character is great. And when there is a huge pipe organ on the screen, that he is playing, with that yellowish sickening lighting in composition - that single scene is enough for me, to come back to this movie. His whole arc is what holds together second and third movies, despite any flaws of theirs.

The compass was magic in the first movie too. Isla de Muerta was specifically described as being unfindable to all except for those who already know where it is. The compass was how Jack found the island before he was mutinied.

There is a bit of history between Jack and Lord Beckett as the 3rd movie's alternate/deleted scenes reveal that Beckett hired him to delivery cargo, when Jack found out the cargo was transported slaves, he decided to set them free, costing Beckett the profit and leaving Jack branded a pirate on his arm, along with Beckett destroying his ship that was originally called The Wicked Wench. Then Davy Jones comes in and makes a deal with Jack to bring back his ship as The Black Pearl with a dark redesign and be captain for 13 years, though knowing Jack, he tries saying technically I was for 2 years until the mutiny leaving Barbossa as captain for 10 years during the events of the 1st movie. As for Elizabeth using the compass and it's pointing towards Jack, I always took it as he knows about Will, though there might not be much to back that up.

The kraken scene was amazing and the punch of the music as the giant tentacle slams down on the ship is so cool.

Honestly I like the first Kraken attack scene. The action is fun, the music is good. And seeing the final two tentacles break the shio in half with that organ solo was amazing to me

The first Kraken attack scene also builds up anticipation for the finale. We finally get a good look at how powerful and terrifying it is. Everyone aboard that merchant ship(except Will who had plot armor) basically had no chance. All that devastation, and then we remember that it’s coming after the Black Pearl next. Makes the audience wonder how Jack and friends can possibly escape such a horror. The moment we hear the sound of the Kraken grabbing the Pearl under the water, we know people are about to die. THAT is how you create suspense.

@@anrick1362 finally, someone understands the purpose of the scene. If you ask me, nostalgia critic should not be reviewing these movies If he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and after watching his review As well as the one he did before this, it’s clear that he doesn’t. Everything you described was exactly how it was supposed to go. We have just seen firsthand what the Kraken can do so when we see it now going for the Black Pearl we remember what it did to the merchant vessel, and it creates a sense of dread because now that thing is gonna attack the pearl. When he reviewed the curse of the Black Pearl, he glossed over a number of things. One of the things being when Norrington decides to do as jack sparrow, suggested, and hunt for the Black Pearl. He said, and I quote “why do people listen to this guy“. I can tell you exactly why this shows just how manipulative and cunning Jack sparrow is. It is showing that he knows what makes a person tech he knows what drives them, and it’s clear he uses that to his advantage. The way he words things like when he was trying to convince captain Barbossa to send off his crew to attack the HMS dauntless. He makes it sound like there’s something big to gain from what he’s suggesting they do. He also knows that commodore Norrington hates pirates, so he suggests that norrington go after a pretty big pirate threat (the black pearl) throughout the Caribbean. All of this, I just said, isn’t mentioned directly, it shown and hinted at through clever use of words. Another thing he criticize Elizabeth, when the battle against the Black Pearl and the HMS interceptor wasn’t going so well. It wasn’t even her idea to fight to begin with the person that actually suggested they fight was will turner. Her first thought was to try to escape and then when they couldn’t, she gave another suggestion, which actually turned out to be a pretty good surprise, showing that she is very capable in tight spots. So I don’t know where he’s getting off that she isn’t capable. Don’t get me wrong I still love the nostalgia critic and I enjoy a lot of his reviews but sometimes he can say things that are not very well thought out.

Fifth one gives it more backstory former black pearl captain tells young Jack what to do with it and how to use it.

Doug didn't mention it here, but fun fact: That scene when Jeffery Rush coming down the stairs at the end? Yeah, they didn't tell the other actors it was him. They told them it'd be that female pirate from the first flic. So Orlando Bloom's acting surprise face turning into real surprise was a hundred percent real.

Another Fact That I Didn't Know from This Film Was: Keira Knightley had to wear hair extensions, because she had cut her hair short for her role in Domino (2005).

To be fair, the commentary said that the Liars dice scene was cut to about a third of what other was originally intended and the more fleshed out version does a great job of not only explaining where Davy Jones, Will, and Bootstrap's intentions lie; it also seemed to be genuinely engaging and interesting. There is a great video on KZread by Lord Ravenscraft that shows how good that scene was written and I recommend it to anyone interested. Like NC mentioned regarding a lot of scenes in the first movie serving two purposes this one does the same, atleast before it was trimmed with the obvious idea of Will betting his servitude on the Dutchman in exchange for the key, it also shows how much Will has grown given that he wasn't planning on winning the key and only was doing it to find out where it is hidden. It also gives a ton of insight on both Davey Jones and Bootstrap Bill's character and what they are essentially all about.

I can't believe anyone thinks this movie is too long! I think it's the perfect amount! And I love that Will and Elizabeth are back, they provide a down to earth perspective on everything and grow as characters themselves. They're like the audience reacting to this insane world, only they're in it.

I think Pirates 2 and 3 are very underrated films, especially 3

The compass pointing to whatever the owner wants the most isn't a retcon. It was hinted at in the 1st movie at the end where Jack looks for his next adventure, the compus suddenly spun and then stuck to one direction before Jack smiles and sails off. Whether it was intended to be a big part of future movies or not idk but they specifically showed that scene to payoff his introduction where they say his campass is useless

Jack's compass was always intended to be magical and there were hints to that in the first movie if you play close attention

8:51 For those who don’t know, this “price” is based on the hundred slaves that Jack freed from slavery.

I recall squealing out loud in the theater when Barbosa comes down the stairs and bites the apple. 😅😅

To be fair Back to the Future shot their two sequels back to back and it worked out pretty well for them.

I remember watching this movie, and I ended up working on the film "THE KEY MAN" as a Locations Assistant. I got to meet Jack Davenport, Hugo Weaving, Brian Cox, & Judy Greer

It's amazing how i can still watch this film over and over again and still be so fascinated by just how interesting and real Davy Jones face looks

Fun fact: one of the reasons the Dutchman Crew's CGI look so good is because they were designed by Tim Burton.

I think this one was the first pirates film I remember seeing, so the opening with Will and Elizabeth as well as Jack in the coffin were extremely confusing but it all clicked into place years later when I saw Curse of the Black Pearl years later, even after At World’s End

I know youre gonna tear 3 apart but i hope you give it a shot. I know there are issues but its my favorite of the first 3 because it felt like a truly epic conclusion.
