Can't believe this scene was deleted. It's a great moment, and it has exposition about the curse of Jones' heart to give better context to the final fight
Unnecessary exposition, as the producers thought. The movie hints at the whole process of cut-the-heart, become-captain enough for this scene to not be needed.
Also shows why Beckett had the governor killed. He figured norrington was a career soldier who would keep his mouth shut but the governor now knew too much.
@@mileskessler2905 what you mean the scene where they just meet him on a little dingy and he explains how to do it? I get they wanted their scene with him and Elizabeth one last time, but this is the better scene. The biggest crime for cut scenes in this movie is the extended scene with Beckett and Jack going into Jack's original backstory and why he made the deal with Davey Jones in the first place
@@mileskessler2905 Completely untrue. I really hope you're not another suite producer turning hollywood in soulless trash. I spit on your kind for having this mentality.

@@gracegiver4920right but he'd just order one of his me to do it you see the soldiers taking the heart hostage in the ship when the flying dutchmen crew mutiny
@@Enerjy It's sped up, likely for timing purposes. The animators would've worked around it by eliminating the jump. If you're wondering why the Gov isn't sped up in contrast, it's probablya split-screen edit (ie, they sped up Nighly but not him). This is pretty common in reference footage. Sourrce: I'm an animator who works with mocap for a living.
That brief moment from 0:06 to 0:09 is so amazing! The little head-tilt, the slight hunch, the look on his face, a mixture of amusement and anticipation - marvelous acting! He went for it, with no hesitation. That's why I love Bill Nighy.
He'll been shown the character design ofc, and the Director will have done an amazing job getting bill to walk how a Human/Fish Homunculus would walk, talk and Express. Bill did this without a physical costume which just lays on how brilliant his acting is. Davy Jones is one of my favourite villains, and Bill's performance certainly makes Davy Jones come to life in ways modern CGI characters have failed again and again to do.
Oscar worthy performance. Everybody is talking about Andy Serkis when it comes to cgi, and yes he is great but Bill Nighy as Davy Jones is just as good or even better, so underrated
Imo Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) was a better antagonist than Davy Jones. The reason Gollum (Andy Serkis) was such a great character is bc he was pitiable. Davy Jones is a box-standard villain, albeit a great one. I like villains who straddle the line btw good and bad. Just my 2 cents.
@@franknb7827we’re splitting hairs at this point if we’re comparing the performances of Serkis, Rush and Nighy. Each of those men are monoliths in the acting business that have set the standard for the believability of truly imposing characters. Tho I will agree with you that Jones is more of a standard baddie that was elevated to greatness by Bill’s performance, and that Rush’s Barbosa is much more compelling because of the nuance Rush brought to the character. The conflict he goes through throughout the series is stunning, and that’s all Geoffrey.
@@jackieparmz All 3 actors are powerhouses in their own right, nobody is denying that. I'd even go as far to say Nighy and Rush have more numerous and superior live-action roles than Serkis. But OP's point of contention is mo-capped performances and Serkis is on an entirely different level. There's a lot you can do (as an actor) with a gangly, grey, hunched over hobbit with a split personality disorder. Not so much a sea captain with an octopus for a head.
Bill Nighy is fucking incredible in these movies. All these weird-ass facial expressions and pronunciations, he's so entertaining to watch, with and without the CGI. He makes Davy Jones such a strange figure, his ticks and mannerisms blend so well with the supernatural nature of his story, it's simultaneously unbelievable and so believable at the same time.
Someday when CGI requires none of manual acting, we’ll look back at Nighy’s Davy Jones as a lost art. All the movements, all the emotes, ticks, they’re all his work.
At World’s End is one of my all-time favorite movies. If this scene were in the finished film, it would vastly improve it. It rectifies so many issues with the movie. It gives Norrington more characterization, explains the heart replacement more elegantly, gives a satisfying yet depressing reason for Governor Swann’s death, shows off more of Jones’ sadism and villainy when most of the film casts him in a rather pathetic light, as well as showing him in a minor rebellion against Beckett, shows more of Norrington chafing under Beckett’s vile command, and is just incredibly paced and acted from all involved. I can think of no other deleted scene in film history that more deserves to be in the movie.
It also explains why Gov Swann knew about the price of stabbing the heart.(if i recall correctly when the black pearl encounters him in the veil, he explains it to elizabeth but we never learn how he knows this)
The original ending of Terminator.2: Judgement Day. If that weren't deleted and replaced, we never would've gotten the awful sequels that came to pass afterwards.
Nighy is maybe the most unique and inimitable actor in film history. His movements are so… unsettling, and yet you can’t take your eyes off him. The erratic twitches, bizarre eye and mouth movements, commanding presence; he’s truly one of a kind. I’ll never forget seeing him in Underworld for the first time and being absolutely mesmerized by his performance… he brings reality to the unreal.
i bet Bill was VERY happy that Davy Jones was CGI, some folks sit in a chair for 5 hours getting extensive prosthetics, while he rocks up on set in PJs and a nightcap with a few dots on his face :P
That is really a shame that they delete that scene because it would explain how Governor Swan , even been dead as we see later in the movie,knew about the heart of Davy Jones and also WHY Cuttler Becket decided to get rid of him. Otherwise, it didn’t really make sense.
Absolutely. In fact, the final film just establishes that he was asking many questions about the heart, but that makes no sense because the only ones who know that information were Beckett and Mercer. Implying that he talked about it with the soldiers is contradictory to the intention of not letting others to know the secret cause no one would dare to point the chest with a weapon.
@@MetroXLR99 now that you mention it, I made years ago an extended edition of Pirates 2 and 3 in HD. If you want it, I can give you the links. Although they were uploaded to Mega, so I'm not sure about the downloading limitations as they are very big size files.
That guy still maintains the right amount of menace and power when wearing little white dots on his face and a grey onesie and cap as he does with the digital affects.
Bill Nighy is always so expressive, so he was an amazing casting choice for the Davy Jones role. Theres just so much going on with his facial expressions and body movements, and I think that was crucial, considering the heavy makeup and costume effects they basically buried Bill in, lol. His personality still punched thru all that. When I first saw this film, and Davy Jones appears and starts talking, I was like....omg thats Bill Nighy!
I wish I could see all of his scenes like this! I remember going back multiple times to the one video on youtube that had this scene, but it was hard to search for. This makes it easy, ty.
Dude.. Bill would have made that so easy.. He pulls out all the stops so well. Only actor there not in costume and he was the only one who was in spirit. Jesus that was great.
The first 3 POTC movies have so many great deleted scenes. I really wish Hollywood didn't wince so much over a long runtime. I'll watch a 5 hour movie if you just keep the good scenes in. I mean damn. Basically the entire top 5 highest earning movies ever made were longer than 2 and a half hours.
These films had no business being that perfect. From screenwriting to directing to acting to cgi that somehow still looks wonderfully convincing, even though it was made in early 00's. They knew exactly how to make things work together.
Also, the fact that James think Davy was supposed to be intimated when he was pointing his gun at him😂😂😂 just like the look Davy gave when he was stabbed by him 😂
I don't understand why this scene was cut? I understand that the movie works and flows without it which is frankly why it was cut, but this scene adds even more emotion and frankly understanding to the boat scene with Elizabeth later. I think it makes her seeing her Father one last time even more heartbreaking.
I wish they kept this scene. Perfectly tells us that Davy Jones isn't just damning souls to serve an eternity on his ship. It's not his ship. He's bound to the Dutchman just as much as they are.
In the full version of this scene Beckett explains to Mercer that the governor must die now that he knows however he feels norrington is nothing more than a yes man and is thus no threat knowing the secret.
Interesting - it seems at 0:32, it's likely the dialogue was slower, but they sped it up some and fast-forwarded the scene a brief moment. At least that's what it looks like, so I'm not sure if the other 2 still looked natural and still to make that work (along with the smoke and effects in the back possibly being added later)
Even without CGI, Bill Nighy owns the role!!
The science guy
even without CGI you can still 100% see Davy Jones. impeccable
Yes and he possibly was the best Vampire ever on screen as Victor
in the movie Underworld
He could've played role without CGI and be equally effective. Man has a talent
Yeah he really knew how to move to give life to the CGI and focus on his delivery!

@@willbill6449 not that he's incapable of doing so. Beckett has his heart so if he steps out of line then they'll destroy the heart and kill Jones

0:32 a little teleportation from Bill Nighy
i saw that too, how he did that so fast? haha
I dont know, but if you watch the smoke on the right corner i dont think its a cut
Maybe hes just very fast
I mean Davy did have the power of teleportation...
I think it has to do with the angle he moves at, possably making it look like he moved further than he did

I get why Bill Nighty said it’s his most hated role but ngl it’s so iconic and he owned it and it was perfect
How hard it could be. Everything the scenery, the props, the costumes was authentic and then Bill Nighy walks in with a ridicoulos mocap suit on
I can't get over the brilliance and perfection of Bill Nighy's performance.
Bill Nighy is such a BAMF. Whether he’s the villainous Davy Jones, or Shaun’s jerk stepdad, he always brings it.
back when Disney knew how to make good villains with tragic back stories, think Thanos was the last great Disney villain

ooo it was this actor! No wonder davy jones was so good!
I miss this kind of performances in movies
I miss the "theater" part of a movie, now the acting and story takes a back seat behind vfx and spectacle
would be amazing to see another movie with this Davy Jones
