The most famous bit was the prisoners trying to use a bone to coax the dog into giving them the key.

23:25 He's swabbing the deck with a linseed oil and pine tar mixture. That seals the wood against water leakage, rot, and mold. (Swabbing the deck is also a bit of busywork to occupy the sailors.) Or at least, I think that is what the filmmakers were going for. A real sealant wouldn't be so goopy/gritty. But hey, it matches the general dirty and gritty vibe of these pirates.

That 'bola' shot is actually called chain shot, used to take out masts, wheels, capstans and rigging. canisters of grapeshot were used to turn the cannon into a shotgun and take out enemy crew, while round shot was used primarily for firing at gun emplacements and to damage the hull itself. This would also create lethal splinters from the planking that would severely injure or kill the enemy as well. That nasty black stuff they were mopping around the brig decking was tar, used as a cheap water repellent on naval vessels at the time. Can't have your ship rotting away out from under you :P

You know what’s weird? When I first saw this, I really empathised with the Barbossa pirates, especially when that solemn score comes on when they’re defeated. But I felt really sad when Barbossa says he feels cold, the first sensation in a decade and it’s the cold grip of death.

[@Aggiebrettman]

The writers (Rossio and Elliott) rode the ride at Disneyland dozens of time, taking notes on every detail of the ride, to get ideas for details to roll into then movie. The entire "cursed gold" sprang from them noting the skeletons and chests of gold-- "what if they are connected?" Tremendous fun that holds up to dozens of viewings.

My favorite gag is the dog with the keys.

It's crazy how Keira Knightly was only 17-18 years old during the filming of this movie. Four years earlier, she was in Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Coming here really boosted her popularity in the early 2000s era of movies. Btw, a behind the scenes fact: Her mother had to be on set when this movie was filmed.

23:30 wooden ships used to be swabbed with seawater. the water would make the wood expand and become more waterproof, and the salt in the water would keep the wood from rotting. i think 1-2 swabbings a day were required to keep the planks sufficiently waterlogged.

It was often used on ships to provide water-proofing, though unfortunately, it is also quite flammable. It is also the origin of the expressions "Black as pitch" and "Pitch-black."

[@randalthor741]

Loading cannons with whatever random bits were on hand (nails, cutlery, etc.) was definitely a thing, and it was highly effective against crew who were above decks, but basically useless against the ship itself. It effectively acted like a massive shotgun firing shrapnel. You want to use cannon balls against the ship's hull (which will also send massive splinters flying below decks, killing or maiming anyone hit by the splinters), shot (which could be things like nails and cutlery) against the ship's sailors above decks, and chain shot (basically 2 half cannon balls connected by a chain that will end up spinning like bolas through the air) against the ship's rigging. Different types of ammunition for different targets.

Why do so many reactors not understand that Jack wasn't cursed the whole time along with the crew of the Black Pearl? Barbossa planned a mutiny, manipulated Jack into telling them the locatuin of the treasure, and then took over the ship and abandoned him on the desert island before they went and found the cursed gold. Gibbs says the story outright to Will during the same scene the sea turltle story. It wasn't until Jack showed up at Isla de Muerte at the end of the movie that he picks up a cursed coin and keeps it in order to enact his plan. Jack was not cursed the entire time. I've seen a handful of people react to this now, and a good portion don't comprehend this for some weird reason. It's a movie meant predominantly for children. If they can understand it, then these reactors should too.

[@BrandonBlume]

Here's the story on the plot of this movie and how it came to be. Stay with me: Once upon a time there was a ride at Disneyland called Pirates of the Caribbean. Then, LucasFilm created a computer games company called LucasFilm Games (later renamed to LucasArts). A man was hired to write a point & click adventure game scripting engine for the company named Ron Gilbert to rival Sierra On-Line (who was king of the adventure genre at the time with their flagship fantasy-oriented game series "King's Quest"). He created SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion). Their first adventure game using this new in-house SCUMM engine was Maniac Mansion (of course) and was the first adventure game to feature a point & click mouse interface instead of typing in commands like in King's Quest (Sierra later followed suit and abandoned typing for a similar interface). LucasArts then wanted to make something fantasy-like to rival King's Quest. Ron Gilbert didn't want to do fantasy with knights and dragons etc though. Instead he was inspired by a ride at Disneyland called Pirates of the Caribbean. He decided to make an adventure game centered around pirates as a theme since that's kind of fantasy-adjacent. He wrote and led development on a game called The Secret of Monkey Island which features a young man named Guybrush Threepwood who wanted to be a pirate. The story was comedic and very funny and witty with its dialogue, setting, and characters (I highly recommend it!). The antagonist of the story was the Ghost Pirate LeChuck who kidnaps Guybrush's love interest Elaine Marley, governor of Melee Island (you can see the parallels already). Monkey Island is an extremely successful game franchise to this day which spawned 3 sequels and a Telltale game series. And also just released recently was the latest game in the series called Return to Monkey Island which featured the return of Ron Gilbert as director and writer for the first time in ~30 years (Ron had only written and directed the first two games in the series). Anyway, after Monkey Island became immensely popular and one of LucasArts' highest selling game franchises and many sequels were made, there were plans for a Monkey Island movie. Steven Spielburg was even attached to it and really excited about writing and filming it. It never got off the ground, but a script was written and lots of concept art was made. Fast forward to a few years later and Disney wanted to make a Pirates of the Caribbean film. They actually took the unused script for the Monkey Island movie (which involved ghost pirates, a young hero who would eventually become a pirate, and a female governor as a love interest) and used many elements of it for The Curse of the Black Pearl. the only foreign element was Jack Sparrow, who Johnny Depp created himself to the confusion of the studio execs who wanted him to change it. But Depp held his ground and they let him do it his way and the rest is history. So it came full circle. The Pirates of the Caribbean Disneyland ride inspired The Secret of Monkey Island whose cancelled movie script was used to make the first film of Pirates of the Caribbean. And Disney eventually came to own LucasFilm and all its properties so Pirates of the Caribbean and Monkey Island are all under one roof now.

[@tropicalcatdetective]

You missed a bit of the history lesson which adds to the 'full circle' effect, Gilbert loved the PotC ride, but he was also heavily inspired by fantasy writer Tim Powers' pirate novel, On Stranger Tides, about a young traveller-turned-buccaneer Jack Shandy, his lady-love Elizabeth Hurwood, and their seafaring adventures encountering voodoo pirates, Blackbeard, and a search for the fountain of youth. While many of these elements had already been filtered through into the first 3 PotC films via the Monkey Island influence, it made sense for Disney to just buy the rights to this novel outright so that they could use it as the basis for the 4th entry in their franchise.

[@BrandonBlume]

@@tropicalcatdetective Ah yes. What a tangled web. :D

[@myopicautisticmetal9035]

The scene where the prisoners are trying to bait the dog into giving them the key to the cell is directly from the original Disneyland Ride, I have such fond memories of that ride because I went on it so much, I was too small to go on the big rides. The original ride started off you got into a boat car thing on a rail through water, you went through a little area and into a tunnel where over the entrance a Jolly Roger spoke to you about how dead men don't tell tails, you went down a roller coaster style ramp into a swamp area if I recall, it smelled like you were in a real swamp etc. there were fire flies and frogs croaking. You sat in this boat for a long time passing through different scenes of pirates carrying on like the aforementioned jail cell with the dog. It was amazing as a kid, I understand that since these movies they revamped the ride to be more like the movies and removed many of the sections of old.

[@raynavarro7997]

Thank you for saying Disneyland and not Disney World....giving homage to the original!

[@Skye_Writer]

19:04 Yes, in fact it was pretty deadly. You hear Gibbs shout to load the cannons with "case shot and langrage." Canister or "case" shot consisted of a cylinder or case of iron or tin, with tops and bottoms of wood or iron. Langrage could be stones, nails, bolts, flints, or *bits of scrap* (chain links, nails, shards of glass, rocks or other similar objects) fired from the cannon. Regular cannonballs were meant to disable the other ship; break their masts, put holes in the sails, sever lines/cables, and -- if you needed simply to destroy the enemy rather than capture their ship -- put holes in the sides of the ship to sink it. Both case shot and langrage are anti-personnel shot, though. They aren't going to do any real damage to the ship, but they are going to spray a lot of shrapnel at people, wounding them and hopefully taking them out of the fight. It's only useful at a short range since irregular shaped objects won't fly as far as spherical shot, but if you were in danger of being boarded, it was helpful to fire some rounds of langrage and reduce the number of able-bodied pirates coming over your rails.

Unless you've been there you can easily miss most of the references to the ride, which if you're gonna make a theme park ride in to a movie, that's a good way of doing it. But the pirates song Elizabeth sings, the dog with the jail keys (who is never going to move being a cheeky reference) some of the shenanigans in Tortuga, etc etc.

[@ultimateninjaboi]

The sword fight in the smithy is probably my favorite sword fight in all of film. And a masterclass on how to elevate a mundane fight scene to something incredible.

[@hanskneesun123]

The amount of times I've seen this movie and I never realized Mr Gibbs was on the same ship as Elizabeth Swann at the start of the movie.

[@annipsy2185]

neither did iiii

[@brauliob]

Gamora (Zoe Saldana) is one of the rag tag crew also. I think her first role.

[@Mordring]

@@brauliob not THE first role but definitely first in a blockbuster.

[@user-ig4ki2hh4x]

Yes,the use of any metal object fired from a cannon was commonplace if you ran out of cannon shot the practice was called scattershot

[@ThatofMusic]

Master and Commander if you want a truly epic film. Love yalls videos, please keep them coming.

[@SatanicKale]

I will never get tired of your guys' thumbnails lol truly makes me laugh most times

[@NathanJasper]

PLEASE react to all of them!

[@sophiecooper1824]

Yes please 🙏

[@NotoriousMinion]

Nah, just the first three.

[@Shritistrang]

@@NotoriousMinion Let them decide for themselves. Some people like the fourth and fifth, or at least certain parts.

[@nyuszicsib]

I also recommend only the first three movie. They are not just good, instead epic! Four and five is okay-ish as a standalone movies, but compared to the trilogy, they are weak and forgetable.

[@NotoriousMinion]

@@Shritistrang the first three are a coherent trilogy. Four and five are corporate cash grabs. I can’t recommend poor movies.

[@davincigift]

Great choice, great video! BTW love you shirt, George!

[@NathanJasper]

The first four are amazing, the fifth one's hit or miss.

[@turntsnaco824]

I liked 5 way better than 4 personally. Found 4 completely forgettable. Agree about the first 3 though.

[@prollins6443]

I feel you should just ignore "Pirates of the Caribbean" and just enjoy the movies

[@NotoriousMinion]

The first three*

[@lexij2497]

4 was poor. 5 was much better.

[@ApesAmongUs]

That's where the disagreement comes in. 5 is fine (not great, but fine), but 4 is the real low point.

[@johnwatson3948]

As below - always liked how they worked images from the ride into the movie - the ship bombarding the town, the jail dog with the keys, the skeletons, skeleton drinking wine, the pile of treasure, etc.

[@WolfHreda]

Finish the trilogy, and then definitely do Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. It's amazing.

[@Fyrecide]

Hey, I live in Sarasota, FL and just got out of the hurricane and this was one of the first things I saw when we got cell service back and it's a huge relief after what has been an utterly disastrous few days, so I just wanna say thank you for this!

[@TheJabbate1]

Greetings from Port Charlotte, Hurricane brother!

[@maximillianosaben]

I’m with my father at his doctors appointment right now. He doesn’t know I’m now watching this right beside him, haha.

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

Well worth a trip to Disneyland---great ride which had several scenarios used in the film (like the drunken rollicking on Tortuga and the pirates trying to tempt the dog with the keys in his mouth). And the great "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me" song playing like a soundtrack.

[@martinbraun1211]

Please watch the STAR TREK movies! 🖖

[@coopershippy9023]

I mashed thst subscribe button so hard back when I discovered you guys because your intros are hilarious and apart from the reactions I live for those funny ass intros keep it up you guys rock

[@digidv85]

These movies have so much charisma to them, which makes the film such a joy to watch. Really irritates me how Disney was so quick to sever ties with Johnny after the fake accusations from Amber Turd came about; despite nothing been proven at that point. I do truly hope Depp can overcome being blacklisted and make a good comeback.

[@johnnycucumber]

Geoffrey Rush was also excellent in "Mystery Men". You should definitely add it to your list.

[@kieronball8962]

Simone and George were SO gleeful, watching the entrance and sword fight performed by Depp's Jack Sparrow, might I recommend they watch Charlie Chaplin in the movies: The Gold Rush, City Lights and The Kid.

[@XC11301991]

Fun fact, Barbossa is based off the actual Turkish corsair Barbossa that dominated the seas and caused issues for many country's navy's and trade routes. The Ottoman Empire hired the man to be their admiral. He ended up dying comfortably, retired in his own palace. It was said that he was "the greatest pirate that has ever lived, and one of the cleverest tacticians and strategists the Mediterranean ever bore on its waters" and that "his death was received by Christian Europe with a sigh of the greatest relief."

[@SickBoyMAB]

I'd say the first 3 are a fun watch. After that... not so much.

[@AnimeLife-mp2id]

Saw this in theatres back in 2003 and was one of the first DVDs I ever got for Christmas that year

[@mctown972]

Johnny Depp is the heart and soul of this franchise, without him it will just be a simple boring pirate movie.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

18:55 "Would that DO anything?" It would, if aimed specially for the main decks. It would blast high-speed fragments which would do considerable damage to crew-persons, like an anti-personnel fragmentaton grenade. Against hull & wood structures, it would only fling splinters around (again damaging crew), and lightly damage sails.

[@MadMackemCorky]

Great Lazy town reference at the start. My kids loved Robbie Rotten in that pirate episode back in the day

[@flatebo1]

Geoffrey Rush had almost as much fun playing Barbossa as he did playing Casanova Frankenstein in Mystery Men.

[@turbulentlobster]

My mom's birthday is September 19, which is also International Talk Like a Pirate Day. We've gotten very good with our "Yo ho, me hearty"s and our "Shiver me timbers"s these past 27 years. This year I got her earrings with miniature versions of the coins from this movie on them.

[@Falconer1128]

You two are so awesome. My favorite reactors on KZbin. I go out of my way to watch movies I've never seen just to watch your reactions to it after. Love you guys!

[@netzombiee646]

A cool piece of trivia ... Part of the soundtrack for Pirates is also part of the soundtrack for Gladiator

[@wardenm]

"Loading it with cutlery? Would that do anything?" It'd likely be similar to grapeshot, a type of artillery ammo that's essentially a bunch of ball bearings or small ammo rounds. Was particularly useful against unarmored troops and to shred sails.

[@zolarwaka8576]

The original ride was really cool! I saw it first in like 1980 or so. If I remember correctly, you would get on a boat and ride through a tunnel that had the pirates and stuff on both sides of the water with some very basic animatronics. The pirates behind bars and the dog sitting there with the keys just out of reach was a direct homage to the ride….because the dog was always just out of reach, no matter how many times you went on the ride.

[@holabambi]

yassss i love this franchise so much tbh, everything is perfectly on point

[@belabruekers4566]

Just started the video, but I need to comment on that thumbnail! I laughed so hard! Looks amazing 😂😂

[@Krisishere]

As for your comment about throwing just the head of one of these pirates in the ocean while still under the curse; that’s essentially what happened with William Turners dad (just without the decapitation)

[@logankerlee]

This was so much fun! I really enjoyed the full version on Patreon!

[@Silentstorm231]

There's a lot of references from the ride in the movie: the prisoners coaxing the dog for the jail keys, the chaos of Tortuga, the parrot squaking "dead men tell no tales" instead of a skeleton saying it from the ride. It was a great throwback since i used to go to disney world and it was my favorite ride. if you wanted to watch the series i recommend going up to the 3rd and stopping after that. In my personal opinion that's when it should have stopped and it got worse as it went on from there. However, there is a group of people who love the other movies just as much but personally i think they aren't very good.

[@charleslee8313]

The ride was just a ride, and some writers wanted to make a movie around it. The scene when Jack goes "You can keep doing that forever (trying to summon the dog with the keys to come over), the dog's never going to move," that refers to the end of the ride, when you see a bunch of pirates trying to free themselves by getting a dog that's holding the keys in his mouth. The dog never moves. Since then, the ride had taken elements from the movies.

[@PapaTeraflop]

i had to sneeze but could not i didnt know why then i subscribe and i can sneez again thank u simone & george, for this gift

[@IDyce88]

i honestly loved this film when i first saw it...primarily for these reasons; pirates have always been a big thing for me, ever since i was kid...and the POTC films really capture some o the best stereotype stories of pirates. i love the scene where the coin falls into the ocean and it calls to the black pearl...that was so spooky. greed is a sin...that is why the curse works the way it does...take the gold...and you suffer a curse for eternity.

[@gr3yh4wk1]

I read that the anchor manoeuvre was an actual legit manoeuvre used during the age of sail called "Clubhauling". The ship lost an anchor so it was an act of desperation like it is here.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

When I saw this in the theater I was skeptical about a movie based on a Disney World ride, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Barbosa is my favorite character, as much fun as Jack Sparrow is, because Barbosa is just so well done. I feel like it is necessary to watch the first 3, because they tie up a whole story.

[@Drax514]

Yo Yo yo. When the hell did you guys start watching The Wire on Patreon? You got me there. I'm gonna have to absolutely sub for that. That show is the best show that has ever been made, bar none. Specifically because of the reality of it, and how the "truths" that are shown in the show about Baltimore resonate and are applicable to every single major urban center in the United States. They all have the same exact problems that Baltimore has, with each having their own local twists on it basically. The Wire should be required viewing for every single American citizen, in my opinion, it is that important to understanding the situation of this country, especially in the cities, and especially for PoC born in those kinds of areas of the cities

[@snorpenbass4196]

So the thing about corsets is that the infamous "chokes the wearer" was a very brief period in fashion history, and for most of their existence corsets have actually been quite easy to wear and move in. Contrary to popular belief, most people don't want to die for fashion.

[@therojowo]

I love the implication that Winston Churchill's "we will fight them on the beaches" speech was exposition
