We havent laughed like that in a while! We had an absolute blast, cannot wait for the next one!
Watch the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy reactions early over on our Patreon! (Edited & Uncut) - www.patreon.com/spartanandpudgey
I must admit Spartan and Pudgey I do like you two as reacters... Definitely one of the top three for me. And I knew you'd both love this. Tbh the series has been done to death now, but the next two are also quite good fun.
Definitely watch 4 and particularly 5. They are still enjoyable and 5 is very rewarding at the end.
But why is the rum gone?
@@di3486 100%
Awesome 👌 but where's mass effect 3!!! 😁
Johnny Depp is quite literally PERFECT as Jack Sparrow
Totally. He also suck at every other role ever.
It’s crazy how perfect they all are. He is the star for sure but what a cast!
Captain Jack Sparrow.
literally…
@@Mozdk1 He's fantastic in a TON of other things what are you on about.
Watching Geoffrey Rush absolutely CHEW the scenery in this movie is delightful. Everyone notices Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow, and rightfully so, but Rush completely embodies the classic image of a pirate captain, and is clearly having a blast doing so. He deserves much more recognition.
IKR!? My man never gets the love he deserves my dude!🤷♀️🤦♀️😉
My fav character
Watching him madly pirate laugh at things in PotC is the best part
it's always fun to have a polite villain
My favorite character. While Jack is like the swashbuckler adventurer pirate, for me, Barbosa was the perfect Pirate Captain.
The actor who plays Elizabeth's father was the actor who played the high sparrow in game of thrones!!
Jonathan Pryce is great in everything he does - even car commercials.
I was surprised they didn’t catch this!
High Sparrow, Jack Sparrow, so confusing
Also the pirate with the wooden eye is the Wildling warg who hated Jon and loved Ygritte!
@@hadoken95 Except _Tomorrow Never Dies_
“That is the child of Bootstrap Bill Turner.”
Spartan: “Ah, so Barbossa must be his father.”
😅🤣
😮🤨🤭🙄😮💨
😂😅🤣🤣
@@SpartanandPudgey guys make my day, please react to the movie Kiss of the Dragon. No one's reacted to it till now so you guys would be the first reaction channel to do so
I never quite appreciated how well written this first plot really was as a child. Not that 2 or 3 are any lesser for it but they should come with a warning to watch them together. 2 is so much better once you've seen how 3 ties it all together.
Watching as an adult definitely hits DIFFERENT
I have my issues with 2 and 3 that I won't state because of spoilers. I enjoy them but I feel like they shot themselves in the foot for anything that would come after 3.
This movie has a superb script.
@@jamesh2401 I don't think there was originally a plan for anything after 3, at least from the writers' standpoint. I think Disney just saw a cash cow and wanted to force it, so the problems that come with the later movies are a result of that.
@TheGoIsWin21 That's likely the case, but they certainly made it difficult to explore anything afterwards. Having said that, I personally really enjoyed the 4th one. Ian McShane was fantastic. Salazar was pretty good in the last one too. There just wasn't any decent connecting plot between anything after 3.
It’s actually impressive how quickly they were ride or die for Jack 😂
He had me at the sinking boat 🤣
Pudgey
@@SpartanandPudgeyunderstandable 😂( me too honestly 😅)
W Johnny
I honestly think this film makes the VERY exclusive cut into the list of perfect movies.
always found the pacing weird for some reason. but it doesnt detract from it
@@westcoast7429honestly that's one of the good things about it. The pacing feels odd, but the odd pacing feels like it's done on purpose. It adds to the whole uniqueness of the movie
It's remarkably good for a movie made about a theme park ride.
@@fakecubed Actually I believe this is part of why the writers had so much freedom writing, they didn't care much about the ride itself, they just wanted to tell the best pirates story they could ever come up with and the entire crew had a ton of fun bringing it all to life.
Truly a great example of what total creative freedom looks like on screen and why current Disney live-action movies aren't as successful nowadays: they became narratively restricted.
@@tarikhamou6222 Agreed. Narratively restricted, and also over-managed. A modern Disney film, they don’t hire a director to carry out his vision, they cast a director, based on intrinsic demographic features to check off some DEI/ESG boxes, then the studio has a bunch of other people in the Disney machine do all the work while the director is practically irrelevant. Somebody else handles all the action scenes. Somebody else handles all the special effects designs, somebody else handles all the costumes and sets and whatever else. In the end, the director is basically just there to yell “action” (when they’re told to) for a portion of the filming, and then they’re shuffled off while the Disney machine does all the post-production and reshoots. Meanwhile the script isn’t finished, that happens after editing, reshoots, and re-editing.
I have to say that Johnny's (Jack's) entrance is the best I've yet seen in any movie :)
Its just perfect shown alone the scene where he pay the hanged pirates his respect
Instantly hit with viewers
Love jack!
There are so many fantastic movie openings that I don't think I could pick a #1 best. But this one is definitely up there on the list
Keep in mind that this movie is more than 20 years old. Incredible, it will be always timeless.
An interesting theory I read before (don't remember the guy who wrote it) mentioned that the reason why Jack Sparrow moves the way he does is because he has "Permanent Sea Footwork", this means that he walks perfectly on a boat, and waves/unbalancing does NOT affect him, which makes him a very difficult enemy to beat at sea, but the side-effect of this sea-footwork is that whenever he is on land, the lack of "unbalanced wavy ground" makes him feel uncomfort and his feet end up not landing well, which makes him walk in a drunken-like way. To confirm this, you can compare how Jack moves magnanimously when he is sailing on a ship, while his movements become wiggly whenever he is on land in the films. Cheers!!
Yep, "sea legs." This phenomenon happens to real sailers who have been at sea for long periods of time.
You heard it from interviews with Johnny Depp. That's not a theory, that was his character work
I love how you 2 go from skeptical when you haven't seen something to child-like joy once you get into it. Love the channel
I love all the subtle hints to the disney ride like the dog with the keys, the song elizabeth sings, etc. So fun
I love how the incorporation of the dog with the keys is straight from the ride at Disneyland. That was a nice touch.
Even if 4 and 5 aren't as highly regarded, all 5 of these movies are so much fun! 💜
I always feel like the only person who really likes On Stranger Tides! And I do think that Tales has the most issues (the script is very weak) but there are still some fun scenes in there (guillotine).
@@marsalien4 Agreed with everything
I dunno, man. For me personally, the drop in quality is so drastic once the original trilogy ended they stop being fun. Just knowing that Johnny Depp was so drunk during filming that he had to be fed his lines via earpiece kind of sucked the entertainment value out.
@@vsGoliath96 the last one was so disappointing, took the soul out of him
@@vsGoliath96 That does seem like a very Jack Sparrow thing to do though
Pirates is a childhood classic in america in the early 2000's. No kid hasnt seen it.
Except for Pudgey
@@meikusje they are clearly not american tho.
Saw in a comment somewhere that Jack walks with 'sea-legs' while on land but walks normally while on a ship. Not sure if it's maintained throughout the series but I thought it was pretty cool!
This movie came out when i was 18. I remember how it started out with a mediocre theater turnout, but then grew and grew into a huge movie because word spread like wildfire how great it was. It became a way bigger hit than anyone in the industry was expecting. partly due to me because i saw it at the beginning and went back 7 times with different friends😂
Thank you for contributing to the cause 😂
I was a young teen when the first one came out. Fell in love with it and went to premiere night for the second one in full jack cosplay hahaha
This is an amazing journey one of the best pirate franchises of all time
Johnny Depp is the only one who can play Jack Sparrow
Or so the Depp zealots believe.
Only pirate franchise of all time.
@@martythetickler It's not a particularly controversial opinion. Most people, including people who know film well, consider Johnny Depp and Jack Sparrow to be about as good as it gets as far as Character/Actor match.
the 3 first movies are easily the best. But I still recommend watching all the movies because they're all good imo. Just don't go into them thinking they'll be as good as the first 3.
Love the reactions you guys do
Will's father's fate was worse than death.
They marooned Jack before finding the treasure and Bootstrap felt guilty all they way to the cursed treasure, but still took a piece, becoming cursed himself.
When he finally let his consciousness win, and Barbossa sent him to the depths, he was cursed, hence unable to die.
He was to spend eternity, tied to a cannonball, on the bottom of the ocean, qith the water crushing him constantly, but again... unable to die.
It´s not for eternity, the rope/chain will deteriorate over time.
@@PROVOCATEURSK well in the end someone... uh... "fished" him out, so that wouldn't matter either way
@@bernardosantiago9615 Someone who has the face of "Japanese Culture"
good thing is that when he was at deaths door, he bargained with davey jones to escape that fate
Jack Sparrow is still the same Jack in all the films. A fun watch regardless of fandom.
And the one pirate with a prosthetic eye plays the wilding who can enter the mind of that eagle
His performance as Jack definitely gets worse as the series goes on. By the time the fifth film rolls around, Depp was so drunk during filming that he would show up to set hours late and had to be fed most of his lines through an earpiece while cameras were rolling.
@@vsGoliath96 he wasn't drunk though. You really believe anything the media writes, don't you 😂 there are hundreds of fan videos of him with fans on the set and he never was drunk. What we learned from his bodyguards and assistants during the trial though is that he came late sometimes because a certain ex by his side stopped him from going to work.
@@jewel79 No, I believe what was reported directly by the producers and crew of Pirates 5 and brought up directly in the trial. Depp would show up to set consistently hours late and was often heavily inebriated, leading to him having to be fed his lines through an earpiece hidden under the dreadlocks. You can tell just by listening to him in the movie. Do you really think Disney would have fired him from a leading role like that without serious reason to do so?
Also, please understand that I am not an Amber Heard defender. She is clearly a terrible person who made Depp's life absolutely miserable. But I watched that trial and the evidence introduced by Heard's team shows that Depp is just as much of an abusive train wreck as she is. Depp is just much better at playing the crowd and won big time in the court of public opinion.
@@vsGoliath96 you clearly didn't watch the trial by yourself, I was sick for many weeks during that time and sadly had too much time for thar crap :-) not sure what sources you had. Sounds like mix of lies of his ex that were debunked during trial again and again and media reports that loved just writing and posting her lies without reporting the debunks 🤣 Especially the "fed his lines through an ear piece" made me cringe reading again after such a long time. Lmao. You better watch those 7 weeks of trial by yourself or stop reposting lies that you didn't double check. 🤡 ah well.... or just continue being a troll... that's okay too. Bless you. 💖
You could see how hooked you two were almost immediately so it's a no brainer to do the entire Pirates series, even the not so great 4 and 5. The trilogy is amazingly fun and I can't wait for 2 and 3, the high drama and storytelling starts getting wild in the next one!
The original Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy is incredible hope they watch all of them
Movies 4 && 5 are still amazing
You made the crucial mistake i did....there is a final scene after the credits that is needed if you intended watching the second movie...
we watched it but late, didn't make the edit 😅
As house of the dragon and game of Thrones fans, you guys would love the show Black Sails. It's GoT, but with Pirates.
Couldn’t agree more! In my top 3 shows, all-time. Great production & acting, but the writing is top notch. And one of the main characters is played by the son of Maggie Smith, Minerva McGonagall from the Potter series.
@Ernwaldo one of the main actors played Sam's brother in Game of Thrones
@@joshuasilvius7854 Six degrees of Black Sails!
Black Sails is honestly way better than Game of Thrones, and I say this as a huge ASoIaF nerd.
My parents didn't know it was a comedy when they first rented it years ago. Dad was on the floor when Jack Sparrow came in on the boat sail. 😅
🤣
the scene of the pirates walking underwater 45:31 uses the boat and sea floor as a natural way to make the shot look wider. it gives a feeling of a wide-shot epic even though it uses the same aspect ratio as the rest of the movie.
this movie is written, shot and directed VERY well. it's actually one of the best movies of all time, a real classic
Also, did you happen to realize that Will's father was also cursed? Therefore the entire time, up until the curse was lifted, he has been undead, fully conscious, stuck at the bottom of the ocean.
If this was a standalone movie, that would be a great theory!!
But if that's true then it doesn't make sense when we see Will's father in the 2nd & 3rd movie.
We see Bill as part of Davey's crew & stuff is growing all over his self. Meaning he was there for years or possibly decades.
& The only way you become part of the crew is to be on the verge of death & Davey makes a deal
Unable to die, Jack
@@demontank76 i think he already looks like that BECAUSE he was living on the bottom of the ocean for years. Then, the curse is lifted and he has to make the deal with davy jones cuz he's suddenly drowning
@@demontank76We only see the dead or dying joining the crew, except Will who was forced to join yet still alive, yet Boostrap Bill was undead. I’m pretty sure when he’s talking to Jack he says something along the lines of he was suffering with Davey Jones being his only way out so he joined the crew while still “alive” & cursed as a means to escape his eternal drowning.
@@mathies3598 He joined Davy Jones long before the curse was lifted. He thought he was going to spend eternity at the bottom of the sea because the curse was keeping him from actually drowning. And if the curse was lifted, he would just drown for real. To escape that fate, he joined Davey Jones. Bootstrap was already part of Davy Jones' crew before the events of this film.
The first three movies make an excellent trilogy, I think after that they kind of wavered.
Love your reactions, this whole triology is just downright brilliant. Definitely give the next two a watch
The Pirates movies are based on a ride at the Disneyland parks. They even added a Jack Sparrow anamatron after the movie came out. If you ever come to the States you should definitely check it out.
As much as I love Jack Sparrow, Barbossa is the stand out character for me. Geoffrey Rush is so good.
Johnny Depp has done many good movies and iconic characters. This franchise, Edward scissorhand, Sweeney Todd, Charlie and the chocolate factory, Alice in Wonderland.
He's done more great movies, but these are some of his most iconic.
12:34 Darn I just realized:
Norrington said one good deed does not rectify for a lifetime of wickedness
Jack interjects enough to condem him.
Jack's backstory didnt make it to the final cut of all the films but what got him branded a pirate was when he freed a hundred slaves he was ordered to transport. Since slaves were considered property what Jack did was called piracy
15:06 this sword fight and The Princess Bride sword fight are the two best sword fight scenes in cinema. Absolutely incredible.
And two of the best movies tbh
Idk if you've seen The Princess Bride but you def should! I think you'll like the humor 😊❤
Great idea!
Idk if anyone's mentioned it already, but have you guys noticed that when Jack walks on land he often staggers as if he's drunk (sometimes he is). But on a ship his gait is completely normal
Barbosa's first and final feeling of coldness upon being free of the curse is one of the coldest endings to a villain's arc I've seen
Sharing your thought processes is like watching it anew. Thank you so much for your dynamics.
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
You guys are such a comfort watch for me. Thank you for all the content, you’ll never know how it feels to see your content pop up in the sub box ❤
That compass is one of the most important and useful things in this franchise
I asked, and you delivered. You beautiful people, I love you.
💪🏼❤️
I know Keira Knightly most from Love Actually. She is also Padme body double in Phanton Menace
Can't wait to reexperience this 5 movie journey with you guys! 💜
Johnny Depp used Keith Richards as his inspiration for his Jack moved
I love how when filming the underwater canoo scene, their was so little oxygen legolas thought he was back on the LOTR set and was speaking elvish
This is literally my first time watching Pirates of the Caribbean and it's through you both! Brilliant as always ❤️
When Jack asked for a pistol he just asked for it so he could get the compass without letting them know he wanted it
"Do you know who that is ? Legolas !" And the father of Elizabeth is the great sparrow of GOT :D
And the pirate with the fake eye plays the wildling warg Orell, the one with the eagle. Mackenzie Crook
Jonathan Pryce was the HIGH Sparrow in GoT.
Loved this one guys - hope you've had a few less stressful weeks since recording this! ❤
thanks Natascha! yes we're back on track now 🙏🏼
@@SpartanandPudgey The character Jack sparrow, is actually based on a real life pirate named Jack ward. And he was a Muslim. Western academia loves to hide or whitewash history they don’t like!
I know these movies are loved, but I personally feel like they are actually underrated. They are miles better than most movies that have ever been made, and I think they deserve to be in the conversation for some of the best movies of ALL TIME!
The swordmaster for both Lord of the Rings (trilogy) and PotC was Bob Anderson, a former British Olymic fencer who trained, and fought against, Errol Flynn in 1953's "The Master of Ballantrae". His other work includes the lightsaber fights of the original Star Wars Trilogy and the extended duel between Inigo and Westley in "The Princess Bride". He called Viggo Mortensen the most natural sowrdsman he ever trained.
Part of reason why you know Kiera Knightly's face is because she doubled for Natalie Portman in the first Star Wars prequel film
I’m not sure they watched Star Wars 😅
This movie is why (me) a generation of young impressionable girls fell head over heels for Johnny Depp. Such a well put together movie, the acting is amazing, the writing and directing is amazing, just fantastic storytelling all around 🖤
Everyone that takes the gold out of the chest has to pay it back with blood and since Bootstrap is no longer around they need Will because he's Bootstraps son.
Johnny Depps most iconic (and best in my opinion) role to date! ☠️ ⚓️💜
You should very seriously consider watching the TV series Black Sails. It's a bit like Game of Thrones, but pirates. Very complex characters, a mix of historical and fictional pirates from the golden age of piracy in the Caribbean, as they plot and scheme to deal with the possible impending crackdown from either Spain or England, and one captain risks everything in the hopes of winning a prize so large that would upset the very nature of their world.
It's not a well known show, it was on a fairly obscure premium cable channel back when it first aired. So not a lot of people know about it. But it's one of the best series I've ever watched. High stakes drama, plenty of humor, some awesome pirate action, but also a lot of serious dialogue between incredible actors. It's a show that got me to read philosophy again, and become a lot more knowledgeable about the early 1700s.
Memorable and great Johnny Depp movies: Edward Scissorhands. What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Donnie Brasco. Public Enemies. Black Mass. These needs to be watched.
You guys better react to them all!!! Awesome reaction to an amazing series
This movie is so fun because it is masterfully paced and utilizes every sceen to its fullest potential, but also because of it's perfect usage of setup and payoff. It is doubly satisfying to see Will throw the sword that sets Jack free when you remember the other sword he threw at him was intended to get him arrested. Even the return of the pirate song, twice!
I was obsessed with this first movie when I was a kid, at the time the CGI was revolutionary. It tipped the scales in the ninjas vs pirates debates at our schools lmao. Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush together 👌
Some people look at it as a triology because 4 and 5 are not as good as 1-3 and Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are not in them and, while they're definitely missed, I still feel like Jack is the MAIN main character. It may be an unpopular opinion but I personally enjoy both so I always tell people to watch them and decide for themselves. People can just skip those reactions.
Fun facts:
The films are based on Walt Disney's ride of the same name.
There is an after credits scene in all of the films, though not all of them are that important to the story.
The role of Captain Jack Sparrow was originally written for Hugh Jackman but he was not that well known outside of Australia at the time so Disney cast Johnny Depp instead, who was more known.
Johnny Depp based the character on Keith Richards from The Rolling Stones (who appears in the third film). Depp also improvised Jack's catch phrase "Savvy?" and "Bring me that horizon".
Jack's “drunk walk” is actually the result of his "sea legs". When he's on land his walk is unbalanced, while at sea he walks straight. That is because he spends more time at sea than on land.
If you haven't seen them, other Johnny Depp films I recommend are A Nightmare on Elm Street (his first film), Cry Baby, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Sleepy Hollow, Chocolat, Finding Neverland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd and Alice in Wonderland. Speaking of Edward Scissorhands, it reminds me of she-who-must-not-be-named's comment in an interview after the trial that "he made everyone believe he had scissors for fingers" 🤣
Don’t forget Rango
I swear thats the best entrance ever, never gets old!
Sleepy Hollow (1997) is my favorite Depp/Burton movie. Great Halloween time
Yeaayy!! this is a great surprise!!! glad you guys start Pirates of the Caribbean series!!
For Bootstrap Bill, he was also cursed, so when he was sunk to the bottom of the ocean, he didn't die in the 2 or 3 minutes that you or I would, but stayed in a constant state of drowning for over 8 years until the curse was lifted.
Referring to yourself in third person is nuts😂
ar471 doesn’t think so
Secret Window with Jonny Depp is an amazing journey
About time - Lotr harry potter and potc is pretty much the movie experience of our childhood. We were so lucky.
Tv shows included first seasons of doctor who (ecclestone and tennant) and first season of heroes xD
The series is one of my favourite shows since my childhood
This is one of very few films that I consider literally perfect. The acting, the stunts, the costumes, the writing, the music, the CGI, the practical effects, the stunt choreography, the makeup, etc. The fun of it! It’s simply a perfect film. Also, written by the same people that wrote Aladdin 😉
The first three (the OG trilogy) are the best in my opinion. But honestly the others still have Johnny & are highly entertaining as well. I suggest them all for a good time!
I agree. Most movies these days don’t have the heart that was put into living like this. It’s really sad. I wish they would make movies like this again. A passionate, well casted cast. GOOD writing. Scenes with cool directing and choreography. Movies just don’t compare anymore.
A Depp movie Spartan might be into is Donnie Brasco with Al Pacino. Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas is another iconic role you might enjoy. He had smaller parts in Nightmare On Elm Street and Platoon early in his career. One of my personal favorites is the comedy Don Juan DeMarco with Marlon Brando. There's also all the goth flicks; Edward Scissor Hands, Sleepy Hollow, From Hell. And the Stephen King movie, Secret Window. And a lesser known supernatural thriller that was kind of an Omen type thing, Ninth Gate. Say what you want about Johnny Depp, it's always interesting.
Shout out to my fellow Don Juan fan.
Such a great film 😊
A good early-aught's Kiera Knightley movie that's often slept on is Domino. Loosely based on a true story of a model-turned-bounty hunter, its got that late '90's early 2000's aesthetic and its a fun watch. I'd recommend it for a random good time.
Yes!! Domino doesn't get nearly enough love. Love that movie!!
Elizabeth's father and the Commodore are not bad people. Her father is a little bit doofy and silly, but he means well. The commodore is very uppity and rule bound, but he is also an honorable man and completely level headed. Not at all the sort of villain we're used to seeing in just about any movie
The Pirates Of The Caribbean movies are some of my all time favorite movies ever
I remember watching this in cinema as a kid ! Love the “ellooo poppet “
Part 2 is my favorite. Then part 1. Then 4, 3 then 5. And I really love 5. Love them all.
21:59 No, that's the great thing about Norrington, he _doesn't_ only want Elizabeth for her status or her beauty. He genuinely cares about her. That's what I like about him and Governor Swann - they value her happiness above their own.
43:32 He can't be dead, he's cursed like them. He wouldn't have died until the curse was lifted at the end of the movie. He spent a decade at the bottom of the ocean, unable to die.
I remember watching this in the theatre. Such a great movie! And the soundtrack is amazing.
It was best in the theater -- the big screen!
the point they missed about the curse was You had to Take the gold from the chest to be cursed.
I loved your reactions and hope you continue the journey to watch the next two!
During production, the studio was freaking out at Depp's insanely over the top performance was ruining the movie.
He told them to accept his performance or fire him. Rest is history of course, he's entirely why these movies are memorable.
I can´t wait for the next one! This is an amazing franchise from 1-3, so excited that you haven´t seen it before so we can enjoy it with you!
Jack Sparrow's trick of using an inverted dingy to walk under water while breathing the air trapped in the hull I first saw in the movie "The Crimson Pirate" (1952) starring Burt Lancaster. Prior to WWII, Burt Lancaster was a "flyer" in the circus, i.e., trapeze, high wire, etc. After the war he went into acting & did all of his own stunts. Check out his many movies as he was the action star of the 50's. All kinds of "swashbuckler" movies!
Did y’all recognize Elizabeth’s father is the damn High Sparrow in Game of Thrones?🤣
yes!
Best action adventure flick of the 00's, so glad i grew up on this
The original three movies are one of my favorite trilogies ever made (cuz those three are kind of like a set with two additional after it). I love those first three so much, they're extremely fun and really well made movies
Had neither of you been to Disneyland? The song they were singing (🎵 Yo-ho Yo-ho a pirates life for me 🎵) is the song featured on the Prates of Caribbean ride.
So it was really cute how they decided to incorporate that into the movies.
Public Enemies is an incredible JD film. Based on a true story about a 1930s gangster ;)
I love that the first movie is great on its own as well as tying in well with the next 2
I remember seeing this in the Theater in 2003 when I was working in Alaska. What a ride and still a favorite of mine. I never laughed so hard.
The first three Pirates movies are fantastic 👌🏻👌🏻
Oh I thoroughly enjoyed the 4thz great cast. Definitely a different movie
Some of the fight scenes are very reminiscent of “The Musketeer”.
Using unorthodox fighting styles for the time and place as well as using the environment.
The pirates mentioned as the creators of the Pirate's Code actually existed, Captain Bartholomew "Black Bart" Roberts; a navigator who got pirated, was offered to join said attackers, did so, became Captain, and soon wrote his name into history in bloody letters as the single most successful pirate to ever sail the sea by raiding several hundreds of ships (postly the Portuguese navy) within only a few years. Averaging 3.7 ships pillaged per week, sometimes multiple ships in the middle of military convoys. Only pirate I've ever heard of that did not drink alcohol and hated it enough that the smell would make him queasy. Captain Hook and many of the "Gentleman Pirate" archetypes were based off Roberts, he dressed and spoke very finely, was highly educated, and trained professionally in fencing.
The other was no less than Governor/Commodore/Admiral/Captain Henry Morgan whom was the most powerful and influential pirate/privateer/politician (in that order) of all time with hundreds of ships at his command, thousands of buckeneers ready to fight/kill/die at his call, and managed to leverage his way from most wanted to the British Crown's most able privateer as well as the governor of Jamaica. He produced most of the rum drank by sailors in the New World, was notoriously charming and generous to his men, and had a fashion sense that marked him as the Rick James for the Golden Age of Piracy with the same charisma where you should hate him yet he's the best friend you've had.
Anyone stupid enough to anger either of them faced a fate that made hanging a pleasant afternoon and lifetime imprisonment a sweet way of life. They succeeded and were so fearsome due to their rules, their codes of honor which was enforced throughout their crews. Roberts would be crueler in making examples and more imaginative, but Morgan had the money and time to really invest in making a statement with anyone that broke the code he sat down. Traditionally, a black spot was delivered to the code-breaker; the promise of certain death wished upon you by every pirate present. In Morgan's case, all pirates would target one whom he had a black spot delivered to. For Roberts, no one would shelter you and would sell you out for a piece of eight; no harbor, no port, no berth would grant you safe passage. Think John Wick's "Excommunicado" scene set in the 1600's. The Black Spot was usually delivered on a single piece of blank paper and to see it meant either your butt or the death of a dozen men, at least (the crew targeting you). Later, individual crews of pirates would practice the tradition of the Black Spot started by these two and obey the Pirate's Code which was just the two men's rules for their subordinates all added together.
Jack Sparrow's entrance with the boat sinking as he approaches the dock cracks me up every time.
Jack is notclumsy, he has permanent "sea legs".
When on land he sways and wobbles.
Pay attention whenever he is on a boat, he does not sway and wobble.
So he's clumsy on land, or more so.
How we doing Spartan and Pudgey? I hope you’re enjoying a lovely day, evening, night (whatever time it may be) , but I wanted to say your Black Pearl reaction was fantastic. Pirates was a cornerstone of my childhood, and has reminded a strong love and fascination today.
Truly, Pirates is a cinematic masterpiece; the gorgeous locations; the ingenious choreography; the brilliant dialogue, everything is beautiful. So heartfelt kudos to you two for beginning your journey through Captain Jack Sparrow’s whirlwind adventures.
I eagerly await Dead Man’s Chest, and guarantee you’ll enjoy the new characters, storytelling and more. Keep happy and healthy, and keep the reactions flowing.

I read somewhere that as they were filming, they originally had Will as the main character and him and elizabeths love story be the main plot. But everyone on set fell in love with Jack Sparrow so much that they turned him into the main character. It's why the very first scene is with will and Elizabeth on the ship
I hate the fact that Disney plans to reboot the franchise instead of bringing back Depp. Even though he was found not guilty in his trial with Heard

Pretty sure it’s JD that refuses to ever work with Disney again and not the other way around.
Don't worry bro, the first will suck and bomb so hard, the sequels will be immediately canceled 😂😂😂
After Disney/Warner Brothers did him dirty, Depp pretty much vowed he wouldn't come back to reprise his role as Jack Sparrow.
