Reacting to PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL (2003) | Movie Reaction

Johnny Depp actually got all of those gestures and unsteady walking from Hunter S. Thompson. He lived with Hunter and studied him while preparing to play Hunter in the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Bill Murray also played Hunter in Where the Buffalo Roam, and he commented that you can't play Hunter without a part of him staying with you forever. If you see any footage of Hunter, you'll see him doing all of those same mannerisms. Hunter S. Thompson was an amazing man, and he and Johnny Depp became very close after Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas until Hunter's death. Johnny even covered the cost of the very elaborate funeral that Hunter had always said he wanted... including being launched out of a giant cannon that Hunter designed when he was young.

I was fortunate enough to be one of Jack Sparrow's crew (the ones he picked up in Tortuga) in this movie and actually played a different role in the third movie, At World's End. You can even see me here and there during this reaction video. We filmed for a few months in Hollywood then went to the Caribbean for six weeks. When the movie premiered at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood, it came as a total surprise to us to find they had included our names in the credits. (Extras - even featured extras - rarely get their names in the credits.) It was an absolute blast working on this movie and getting to know everyone on the crew. When I went back two and a half years later to do the third movie, almost all of them remembered me. Glad you enjoyed this movie, Dawn. As Johnny himself once said, "Isn't this the most fun you've ever had in your life?" It was!

For the second and third movies, a full-sized ship was built. If I had had a choice as to what to take home, it would have been a pair of swords.

[@ElliotNesterman]

Elizabeth's father is played by Sir Jonathan Pryce. In _Game of Thrones_ he played the High Sparrow. Johnny Depp's inspiration for Jack Sparrow's vocal and movement style was Keith Richards. _Davy Jones Locker_ is an old term for dying in the deep sea. When a sailor is lost at sea or a ship sinks it is said they went down to Davy Jones Locker. For a nice fight with a giant squid you should watch the 1954 adaptation of Jules Verne's _20,000 Leagues Under the Sea._ There are some great pirate movies from the Golden Age. I recommend _Captain Blood_ (1935), _The Sea Hawk_ (1940), and _The Master of Ballantrae_ (1953) all starring Errol Flynn.

[@ronfehr7899]

I have the feeling that you're younger than I am, because I remember Jonathan Pryce from his earlier movies, the first of which was Jumpin' Jack Flash, with Whoopi Goldberg.

[@ElliotNesterman]

@r7899 I think the first film I saw him in was Terry Gilliam's _Brazil_ (1985). Of course, he became a figure of some controversy with the Broadway transfer of _Miss Saigon_ (1991), in which he was cast as a Eurasian character. (In the original West End production the casting raised no eyebrows.) I mentioned _Game of Thrones_ because Dawn recalled him from that show.

[@passionsquietrage]

Ironically, Keith Richards played Jack's father Teague Sparrow in the third movie.

[@ElliotNesterman]

@@passionsquietrage Nothing ironic about it. It wasn't even coincidental. The writers and producers cast Richards based on Depp's portrayal. The Wikipedia article on the series says Richards was supposed to be in the second film but the script didn't have room for his character, and also he was tied up in a Stones tour.

[@passionsquietrage]

@@ElliotNesterman The irony is that Johnny said his portrayal was based on him and that comment is what ended up getting him cast in the role.

[@Anthony_Marquis]

It's funny that you said "It's a small world" during your commentary. Because "Pirates of the Caribbean" is based off of the Disneyland ride of the same name, and Disneyland also has a ride called "It's A Small World". 😂

[@prestoncline9391]

[@l.piloto7964]

The trick with the overturned boat with air to breath while underwater is the concept used for centuries to dive for pearls in deeper water as well as how sunken ship treasure was recovered before air pumps and scuba were invented. The common term was dive bell since in most cases it looked like a big bell.

[@Madagon367]

True but from the makers it was a nod to the all time great 'The Crimson Pirate'.

[@ronfehr7899]

But Luke Dawn said, the overturned boat trick would never work. The trick was tested on an episode of Mythbusters, and there were certain things that would not allow that to happen. One of them was simply trying tol hold the boat like that while being underwater. It would take too much strength.

[@CxOrillion]

@@ronfehr7899 not just that, though. Think about it: The boat floats when full of air with 2 guys in it when it's upright. So even when it's upside down, if it's full of air it will float with 2 guys in it. It's a question of buoyancy.

[@akiraunio5227]

The timber in a wooden rowboat has enough buoyancy that it actually will not sink even if there is no air pocket. With an air pocket it requires a lot of weight (from stuff that would sink on its own like metal or rocks) to pull that underwater. Since humans are pretty much same density as water (you can control whether you sink or float just with how much air is in your lungs), humans can not hold a wooden rowboat underwater. Wood will eventually sink, but it takes time to wood become saturated with water. And if the air pocket in the boat is about the height of human head (about 30 cm / 1 foot) the amount of weight to pull the boat underwater would be over 300 kg (650 pounds) when using barbells, aka solid metal objects, even on a small boat. As it was stated in a previous post, Mythbusters did a segment on this. But hey, that's Hollywood for you. Reality should not get in the way of entertainment.

[@TheTartanSpartans]

The upturned boat wouldn't work, there's no way you'd be able to hold onto it. It would want to rise to the surface and rip from your hands. Diffference with a diving bell? Those were heavy as shit

[@ryans413]

Okay I’ll explain the Black Pearl was Jacks ship. A mutiny happened and Barbosa took over the ship and crew and abandoned Jack on the island. The crew then went on to find the cursed treasure and they took it all. Wills farther Bootstrap Bill didn’t approve of Jacks abandonment and taking the treasure so to punish Barbosa and the crew he secretly gave a peace of the treasure to Will so Barbosa and crew would remain cursed. They didn’t realize until after killing Bootstrap that they needed his blood. When they found Elizabeth she lied about her name Barbosa thought they found one of Bootstraps bloodlines and they could lift the curse. At the end of the movie Will cut himself and dropped all the coins in the chest and his blood lifting the curse.

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

[@Johnknowsstuff]

❤ I spent the whole review shouting 'please stop guessing ' ! And yes, it does work. Air is trapped in the upturned boat which can be breathed for a while.

[@TSIRKLAND]

Theoretically, it could work. Air can be trapped that way. Divers have used it for a long time. But realistically, you'd have to carry the boat floating upside-down on the surface of the water. That much buoyant air would never succumb to being carried along the bottom of the water, unless you had a couple dozen cannonballs in your pockets, and the boat strapped under your armpits. Holding on with just your hands, walking nonchalantly along the sea floor with a boat full of air: a film-magic stretch of the truth. Breathable air in an upside down boat: yes. Specifically as illustrated in this film: not exactly. It's always more fun when you take something that's probable, and carry it to an improbable extreme: voila! Movie magic!

[@GKViddingHD]

I saw this twice at the movies in Dublin - best decision ever. The audience was roaring when Capt.JS sailed into harbour.

[@neutchain7838]

Well, in their case it was easy to find them. Elizabeth was from Port Royal, her dad was the governor of that island. They were leaving Isla de Muerta so it was safe to assume they were going back to PR. Its a straight line, if you know you are faster than them, you will eventually catch up. As for real navigation, they used dead reckoning whichis an estimation that comes from your known position and the speed you are going with you can estimate with good accuracy how far you are from your point of origin. They used a tool called a sextant that could measure the angle between the horizon and an astronomical object like the Sun ( daytime ) or Polaris ( night ). From that angle they were able to calculate their latitude. It could also be used to measure horizontal distances between celestial object in order to calculate longitude. It's pretty amazing how accurately they were able to determine their position.

[@jonmercano1138]

Davy Jones is derived from the term Davy Jones’ Locker, a metaphor for the bottom of the sea, the state of death among drowned sailors and shipwrecks. Davy Jones is like the devil for sailors. Barbossa can’t be brought back from his corpse being given a coin. Someone has to take the coin directly from the chest to be cursed themselves. He for sure died. Bootstrap wouldn’t be dead because he was also cursed. But once the curse is lifted, he’d probably be crushed by the water pressure, or drown

[@Zyas]

You were asking about how pirates can tell where they are at sea without a GPS or digital map? Its actually a real world skill of navigating using stars. Sailors, and specifically ship captains, would often study the positions of the constellations and star positions and movement (from the world turning) to determine which direction they are heading and what landmasses would be near based upon maps, a tool called a sextant, and a standard compass. Its actually really fascinating learning about.

[@ElmStReactions]

She was asking how they know where other ships are, not where they are

[@imthewolf1]

Davey Jones Locker is a metaphor of where drowned sailers go to at the bottom of the sea.

[@Azure217]

The whole pirates trilogy of movies is really well made and great fun, you're gonna love them all! Another movie you might want to look into watching is "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" with Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany. The sound effects and music (which you mentioned quite a bit for this movie) in that film are really fantastic!

[@jollyrodgers7272]

The trick walking under that overturned rowboat would've been having enough weight to remain on the bottom, and the strength to hold onto that much trapped air. Could've been possible with just about half the air they showed and extra weights. This generation largely has forgotten how to use physical maps and charts! Davy Jones' Locker is an ancient metaphor regarding the place where drowned and lost-at-sea souls end up.

[@lafelong]

Yeah it was slightly far-fetched because of the weight/strength... but what kid hasn't pushed a glass down in the sink and seen the trapped air and understood what they were going for?

Another fun reaction. You are a joy to watch a movie with. When this came out it hit all of the right buttons. Every one likes a fun, romantic, action adventure, and one with a lighthearted spirit. Next, there had not been a well made big budget Pirate adventure in years. Now add young stars, an inventive Johnny Depp performance, and every Pirate movie theme for the parents and you have the makings of a blockbuster. But it was Johnny Depp and his quirky and funny portrayal of Captain Jack that captured the hearts and minds around the world.This performance made him an international celebrity and really typecast him to the public. He could no longer be an actor in character roles or small indie movies. He was Dor many years… Captain Jack Sparrow. He became rich, bloated, and a shell of who he once was. For him this became a blessing and a curse.

[@CaveatEmptor1966]

[@VideoGameVillians]

The upside-down boat thing absolutely works. The way they float is that they are waterproof, so if you trap air underneath them it has no way to escape and thus stays in the boat. Try pushing an upside down cup into a dish of water, same thing.

[@jimspetdragons3737]

The upside down boat underwater at the bottom does work as long as it is heavy enough to counter the amount of air trapped inside to keep it from rising to the surface which is quite likely here. Parlay is used to pause/call a truce to discuss/negotiate an end of the conflict between the 2 (or more) sides of a conflict. It's not exclusively a pirate thing.

[@eikthesheik]

You would need superhuman strength to hold the boat and keep it from rising to the surface though. But technically I would say it couldt work

[@eikthesheik]

I think if it was so heavy that it could counter the air, then it would't float in the first place. Maybe we're overthinking this scene a little bit 🤣

[@jimspetdragons3737]

@@eikthesheik Maybe, but it wouldn't have to float if they walk on the bottom. Also, just heavy enough to sink is enough for that. if it floats, then they only have to keep it from tipping over & losing the trapped air, but they wouldn't be at the bottom to walk.

They could find other ships because ships traveled specific routes consistently due to the winds and currents. So the pirates would know beforehand that eventually a ship would come along a route. If they know when it left a certain place, they can then even predict when it should reach another point on that route, and then wait for them. Then people would sit way up high at the top of the mast in the crow's nest with a telescope (if they had one) to look for the tiny signs of sails on the horizon, maybe 20 miles away. They had to have very keen eyes.

Hey Steff when she reacted to the hunt for red October, she called the caterpillar unit on the submarine a Catpuller.. I never laughed so hard in my life. It was great.

Nice! Originally, Steven Spielberg was going to direct the film, but had to drop out to direct Minority Report and Catch Me If You Can, both released in 2002. Hugh Jackman, Harrison Ford, Jim Carrey, Michael Keaton, Christopher Walken, Robert DeNiro, Matthew McConaughey, Cary Elwes, Bill Murray, Steve Martin, and Robin Williams were considered for the role. Tobey Maguire, Jude Law, Ewan McGregor, Ben Peyton, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Tom Hiddelston, and Chris Masterson were considered for Will Turner. Jessica Alba, Amanda Bynes, and Jaimie Alexander were considered for Elizabeth Swann. Sylvester McCoy and Tom Wilkinson were considered for Governor Swann.

What an opportunity to do some deep fake actor swaps.

3:43 "Wait. How did you not see that sooner?" Because they're _mired_ in an unnatural _fog._

Sad fact… The boat trick underwater works… it’s just the lack of strength to keep the boat underwater without it going back up to the surface is the hard part

[@allengray5748]

Part II 😁 I'm very glad you dunnuh have a mustache! ☮️

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

Barbossa 100% is dead _dead_ by the end of this movie.

[@ImpeccableZentertainment]

The constant talk of the giant squid was fantastic

Air under the boat does work to trap the air. Except it would be hard to stay on the bottom and not float up.

I love when blondes are very blonde lol 😅...great reaction...my mum is Scotish too i can hear the accent lol...Davy Jones Locker is the bottom of the ocean when u die at sea.

The arival at Tortuga scene was takes from the ride at Disney. Then they made the ride to fit the film. Other scenes like Gibbs sleeping against the pig. Also, the theme is in the film Gladiator during the battle at the beginning. And Parley is where opponents meet in order to discuss something, especially how to end an argument or a war. Usually under a flag of truce.

[@SomethingNowhereMan]

I'm super excited to see your reaction to both 'Dead Man's Chest' and 'On Stranger Tides'! They're both my favorite Pirates of the Caribbean movies!

[@richardhansen3703]

Davy Jones Locker is just a term used by Pirates meaning the afterlife or the underworld

[@wobaguk]

Davey Jones locker is a metaphor for the bottom of the ocean, its a general phrase in use outside of this story.

At 14:45, you are partly right. the part that doesn't work is them holding the boat down. They would need to be able to hold a couple thousand pounds in order to keep it underwater. However, if they could do that, it would actually create the air pocket you see in the scene.

Best films about age of sail navigation: Longitude (2000) or Master and Commander (2003)

[@kestrelraptorial689]

excellent movies

[@joegammacide3204]

Pirates relied on compasses to find their way at see! Keep up the good work!

[@lukefallon8276]

Back when they traveled around in ships they had an instrument called a sextant. They looked at the stars with it and their position in the sky told them where they were using a map. Ships followed trade routes which were basically the shortest routes between two ports. They might find another ship along one of those routes but you'd have to be as lucky as Captain Jack Sparrow to find it.

[@nahkohese555]

Captain Jack Sparrow's compass points to what the holder of it most desires to find - which is not always what you think you are looking for.

[@Mickey-kh9hb]

The Lady Washington, the ship that was used as the Black Pearl, is home ported in my hometown of Port Orchard, WA

[@Mickey-kh9hb]

I'm trying to find a way to send you pictures of the ship

[@neabby]

The first three Pirate's movies are so good. Love them so much 🤗

[@NecramoniumVideo]

I remember when they announced this movie in like, 2001/2002, people laughed thinking a movie about a disney ride would become a good movie. Saw it in a the theater in 2003 and it was great!

[@shellchenonceau6987]

That movie is a classic!
