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

23:24 That's pine-tar, also called 'pitch'. It is made from pine sap, which has been boiled down to reduce its water content. 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."

[@shambooki4224]

To answer the ride question, the ride didn't have MUCH of a story; it was a typical dark ride. In one room you'd float between a pirate ship firing at a fort, then in the next you'd see a bunch of animatronic pirates chasing villagers around the town, in the next the town is burning, and then you see a scene with pirates auctioning off loot/people (yikes). The last scene takes you through a jail cell where some prisoners are trying to get a dog with the keys to come over by enticing it with a bone (the scene in the movie is a direct homage to the ride), and a final room where you could see pile of gold behind a barred gate. Since the movie came out, they've modified the ride to add a bunch of Jack Sparrows peeking out from behind barrels, walls etc and given a lot of pirates dialogue about finding him. They also added Jack to the treasure vault lounging in a chair wearing an incredible amount of jewelry and drinking from a golden goblet. There are a lot of homages to the ride scattered throughout the movie, but the dog with the keys is the big one that stands out in my mind.

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.

There's no question that this film is the best of the lot. If you want to see more, I would only bother with parts 2 and 3. I think you'll find they are more than enough.

[@Cwyatt92]

I recommend you watch pirates 2 and 3, I think they tell a great story. But before you do, there’s an end credit scene you need to see after the credits of Curse of the Black Pearl.

[@RabbyBabu]

The first 3 movies are so much fun, definitely a good watch. Add Master and commander of the far side of the world and you got 3 more really good naval movie to react to!!

[@samovarsa2640]

This was very much like the Mummy from '99 - a good, solid action film that DIDN'T need any sequels.

[@MattKayser]

That's how I feel, as well. I only really like this first one. I feel the same about The Matrix.

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.

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

[@teeheeteeheeish]

Seriously underrated movie. You get caught up the first time you see it with the humor and the adventure, but as you watch it more you appreciate the themes and storytelling and of course acting. The rest are a joke in my opinion.

[@JajaHoolia]

Please watch Pirates 2 and 3! They are somewhat of a trilogy and were all directed by Gore Verbinsky and build on this first one well. The others I wouldn't bother with. Loved seeing you guys react to this! 🤗

LONG LIVE CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW! Before Johnny Depp was cast as Jack Sparrow, Harrison Ford, Jim Carrey, Michael Keaton, Christopher Walken, Robin Williams, Matthew McConaughey and Robert DeNiro were considered. Ben Peyton, Christian Bale, Tobey McGuire and Christopher Masterson were considered for Will Turner. Jamie Alexander, Jessica Alba, and Amanda Bynes were considered for Elizabeth. Steven Spielberg was almost picked to direct the film but was too busy working on Minority Report and Catch Me If You Can, both released in 2002.

[@zeinspired577]

The trilogy is the best one. 4th and 5th installments are still fun adventurous times and we got more Jack Sparrow's backstories.

My favorite gag is the dog with the keys. "You can try forever, the dog is never going to move" is a reference to the ride the movie is based on where a bunch of animatronic pirates are trying to coax the dog with the keys over, eternally, because the dog hasn't moved in 45 years since the ride opened.

[@ЕгорКаплин-ф3ю]

Hey guys, I really like your content. I have a request for next reaction video. Can you react “From dusk till dawn” created by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino? I think you’ll like it.

What A Time To Be Alive... Live Was A Shame Back Then, Now Is A Shame Too, But Now We Are Being Yelled That We Are Fine. Living Does Not Make Ani Sense Without A Propose Valid For Those Who Are Coming Behind Us. Whether Be Ours Childrens Or Whether Be Not. Live For Others Is Having A Valid Propose In Life, Sometimes We Don't Realize That We Are Being Examples For Others Without Even Wanting To. So Always Life Will Find The Way For Reaching Evolution. So Much Better Is Too Do Your Best For Being Conscious Of The Reality In All Situations So You Can Respond Coherently, Then You Might Be Leaving A Good Example And Having A Great Experience Doing It.

Fun fact: One of the turning points in the american civil war was when Abraham Lincoln commissioned all the silver his men could get their hands on to use as reserve ammunition in their cannons. So yes George, i know for sure you can load cutlery into cannons- because its how they freed the slaves

[@Shinnizle]

I really hope you watch at least the first 4 movies… they’re so good!

[@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.

Keith Richards was Johnny Depp's inspiration for Captain Jack Sparrow.

[@TheMidnightPhil]

The first one is fun, but honestly I would stop there. The sequels take many of the fun lines from this and just beat them into the ground ("Why is the rum ALWAYS gone??"), they drag the plot out by un-resolving plot threads (hey, what if for some reason Will and Elizabeth's completed arc was, um, un-completed, and hey, let's bring characters back from the dead), and Jack goes from funny-but-competent to a Warner Bros cartoon character. They're like bad impressions of the first movie.

[@BJBee]

Agree. Sparrow's character and the movie was a runaway success, and sudden sequels appeared to capitalize on that. I admit I watched the first three movies because, like many, I just liked Sparrow that much. But as recommendations for a reaction, no. There are too many genuinely great movies, and life's short.

[@Eidlones]

I don't agree, but a lot of people say 2 and 3 are good. After that though, they're all trash

[@FluffyJackie]

Please don't watch the fifth! The Pirates movies are amazing, but the fifth ignores established lore, insults the character's intelligence and is more of a very bad high budget fan fiction written by someone who only read bad summaries of the previous movies.

[@meadmaker4525]

So, two points. One - You want more subs, but refuse to interact with people in chat, or rotate older patreon-only material onto the channel (which other very successful YT channels do), so there's little real incentive for people to subscribe. Two - The Pirates of the Caribbean series of movies are excellent. Hope you make it to the rest of them.
