* ZeroPercentApproval: As the film begins, the entire ''Black Pearl'' crew, Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Cotton's parrot included, are growing increasingly discontented with Jack's leadership method.



* CallBack: When the Kraken grabs the ''Black Pearl'', Gibbs assumes they've run aground on a reef. Will knows better, having been aboard a ship the Kraken was holding afloat earlier in the film and having made the same assumption.

to:

* CallBack: BrickJoke:
** While talking to the Pelogostos, Jack looks at Will's groin and declares him "eunuch-y", followed by scissoring motions.
** When Jack tells Davy Jones about Will, he mentions he's a "terrific soprano".

** Jack's understated reaction to finding himself face-to-face with a horde of Pelogostos while trying to escape them (and winding up re-imprisoned).
** Gibbs, when Jack mentions a "need" to go up-river.
-->'''Gibbs:''' By "need", do ya mean a trifling need, as in, say, a passing fantasy?

If the answer is "yes", the rescuee will be saved but [[DealWithTheDevil must in return work as a servant on the ship]], eventually even [[FateWorseThanDeath becoming one with it]].

The movie begins with the arrival of Lord Cutler Beckett, the head of the East India Trading Company, who blackmails Will into hunting Jack and his [[PlotCoupon magic compass]] to spare Elizabeth's life for treason (since they helped Jack escape). Beckett's ultimate target is the [[SoulJar chest containing the heart]] of Davy Jones, captain of ''The Flying Dutchman'' and immortal lord of the oceans who controls the dreaded monstrous [[GiantSquid Kraken]]. Holding the [[PlotCoupon heart]] will allow Beckett to control Davy Jones, and hence all the seas of the world.

Jack has history with Davy Jones himself--thirteen years ago he made a deal to raise the sunken ''Black Pearl'' in exchange for his service aboard the ''Flying Dutchman'' after a period of time. Now his debt is coming due, and Jack is desperately searching for the heart of Davy Jones to use as leverage to renegotiate the terms of his deal.

[[redirect:Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean]]''Dead Man's Chest'' (2006) is the second movie in the ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' franchise.

The movie begins with the arrival of Lord Cutler Beckett, the head of the East India Trading Company, who blackmails Will into hunting Jack and his [[PlotCoupon magic compass]] to spare Elizabeth's life for treason(since they helped Jack escape). Beckett's ultimate target is the [[SoulJar chest containing the heart]] of Davy Jones, captain of ''The Flying Dutchman'' and immortal lord of the oceans who controls the dreaded monstrous [[GiantSquid Kraken]]. Holding the [[PlotCoupon heart]] will allow Beckett to control Davy Jones, and hence all the seas of the world.

!!This film provides examples of:

* ArtificialLimbs: Davy Jones has two legs as a human, but his mutated form turns one of them into a lobster/crab leg that evokes the image of the stereotypical pirate peg leg. While we're at it, his lobster claw hand evokes the image of the stereotypical pirate hook hand.
* AttackAttackRetreatRetreat: In the trailer:
-->'''Will:''' We can't leave without him! ''(sees Jack being chased by natives)'' Time to go!
* AttackOfTheMonsterAppendage: The Kraken is the "whole body seen later" example.
* BathroomStallOfOverheardInsults: Well, it's a boat, and there's a kiss, but the gist of it is, [[spoiler:Will sees Elizabeth kiss Jack]] and proceeds to act like a teenage girl afterwards.
* BigNo: Bootstrap yells this before the Kraken is summoned to destroy the ship Will has escaped on.
* BlackSpot: Jack receives one at the beginning of the film.
* CameraAbuse: A subtle example. As Jack is sailing away from the Island of the Pelegostos and is giving his [[CatchPhrase standard farewell speech]], the wave that smacks Jack in the face and cuts his sentence also manages to hit the camera as well.
* ChargeIntoCombatCut: When Jack Sparrow charges the Kraken with sabre in hand.
* ChasedByAngryNatives
* CraniumChase: One of Davy Jones' henchmen loses his head. The body then stumbles about trying to find the head, while the head tries in vain to give it directions.
* DeadMansChest: Naturally.
* DealWithTheDevil: How Jack originally raised the ''Black Pearl'' ([[AllThereInTheManual nee]] ''[[ShoutOut Wicked Wench]]'') from a watery grave. He reneged on his end of the bargain, then {{Rules Lawyer}}ed his way out of [[{{Psychopomp}} Davy Jones]]' clutches.
* DoomedAppointment: Governor Swann's friend, with whom Swann had aagreed to meet so they could smuggle Elizabeth out, is killed just as they arrive.
* EliteMook: Agents of the East India Co. We only see one of them (Mercer) but Jack "vanished from under the eyes of seven agents of the East India Company" and this is listed as an impressive feat.
* FlamingSword: Will sets his sword on fire with some oil from a lantern in an attempt to ward off the zombies.
* {{Foil}}: In a more tragic example, Davy Jones and [[spoiler:Calypso]] whilst in Tia Dalma's body. Davy Jones has a HumanoidAbomination of a body, abandons all emotions and develops a convincing range of reactions, both facial and verbal; and takes delight in putting the lost souls he captures through torment and pain. Tia Dalma, however, has retained all her emotions, and will not hesitate to help those in need, and does not require a steep price in return.
* ForbiddenZone: The island of the [[ImAHumanitarian Peligostos]]. They make the most delicious [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/long_pork long pork]]. Their ride dumps Will overboard to get there.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Tia Dalma tells the tale of how Davy Jones fell in love with a woman, Gibbs says that he heard a different version of the tale in which Jones fell in love with the sea. Tia Dalma says that they are two versions of the same story and both true. [[spoiler:Turns out that he fell in love with a sea goddess]].
* GiveMeASword: Done repeatedly in one scene with three heroes and two swords between them.
* GodGuise: The cannibal island at the beginning of the movie believe Jack Sparrow to be a god.
* HeelFaithTurn: Discussed and PlayedForLaughs. In their first scene in the movie, Pintel and Ragetti talk about how they are going to read Literature/TheBible and become "good men". They revert to their piratical ways pretty soon.
* ImAHumanitarian: The Peligostos.
** The trader that pointed Will to the island as well, judging by the longpork comment.
* ImStandingRightHere: Gibbs, Ragetti, and Pintel freak out at the sight of the Black Spot on Jack's hand. Jack responds with "My eyesight's as good as ever."
* KissOfDistraction: Elizabeth on Jack in order to shackle him to the deck of the ''Pearl''.
* LastStand: "Hello, beastie!" Jack's futile, but irrefutably courageous, charge towards the Kraken.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Davy Jones takes the inspiration for his from a [[MementoMacguffin music box]], all minor keys.
* LifeIsntFair:
-->'''Davy Jones:''' Life is cruel! Why should the afterlife be any different?
* LivingForeverIsAwesome: Jack's motive for wanting to stab Davy Jones's heart, who is already enjoying the fruits of this trope as the immortal lord of the sea.
* LosingYourHead: Happens to Jones's conch-headed crewman.
* LoopholeAbuse: This was Jack's "Plan A" to honor his deal with Jones, and the value of one hundred souls.
--->'''Gibbs:''' And how do you intend to harvest these ninety-nine souls in three days?
--->'''Jack Sparrow''': Fortunately, he was mum as the condition in which these souls need be.
--->'''Gibbs''': Ah. [[WretchedHive Tortuga]], then?
--->'''Jack:''' (Wipes slime on Gibbs) Tortuga.
** He tried it on Jones earlier in the film, but Jones wasn't having any:
-->'''Jones:''' You have a debt to pay. You've been captain of the Black Pearl for thirteen years. That was our agreement.\\
'''Jack:''' Technically, I was only captain for two years, then I was viciously mutinied upon.\\
'''Jones:''' Then you were a poor captain, but a captain nonetheless! Have you not introduced yourself all these years as [[InsistentTerminology Captain]] Jack Sparrow?
* MacGuffinMelee: A long extended sequence in the middle of the movie involved this, as almost all of the regulars competed for control of the chest containing Davy Jones' heart.
* MeatMoss: The interior of the Flying Dutchman is a sea-themed variant of this. Crewmen of the Dutchman are fated to meld into the walls after spending enough time on the ship.
* MegaCorp: The East India Trading Co.
* MockingSingSong: Jack tries to exploit Davy Jones's prohibition from setting foot on land.
-->'''Jack:''' ''(singsong)'' I got a jar of dirt! I got a jar of dirt! And guess what's inside it!
** Jack was also hinting to Jones that [[spoiler:there was something other than dirt, namely Jones' heart, in the jar. Unknown to Jack, Norrington had stolen the heart out of the jar.]]
* MoodWhiplash: The end of the film, particularly Elizabeth kissing Jack.
* OminousPipeOrgan: And how.
* PercussivePrevention: Elizabeth to Norrington. Though she missed the boat on 'preventing him from doing something stupid' like starting a massive BarBrawl, she managed to stop the others from killing him.
* PrepareToDie: "I shall ''pry'' the chest away from your cold, dead hands."
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:The resurrected Captain Barbossa at the end]].
* SayMyName:
-->"''DAMN YOU, JACK...'' '''''[[LargeHam SSSSSPPPPAAAAAAAAAARRROOOOOOOOOWWWW!!!!!]]'''''"
* SkywardScream: Davy Jones. See SayMyName, above.
* TemptingFate: "Actually, you don't need ''everyone.'' About six of us will do. ''({{Beat}})'' [[OhCrap Ohhh, dear...]]"
** "The bright side is, you're back and made it off free and clear!" (cue the Flying Dutchman bursting out of the sea literally right behind them)
** "Even Jack Sparrow can't best the devil!" cries one of Davy Jones's crew. Jones immediately [[OhCrap pauses in doubt]], and demands the chest be opened, discovering his heart is gone. Cue SkywardScream.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Jack's reaction to [[spoiler:being eaten by]] the Kraken, among other insalubrious things.
* TribalCarry: Will Turner is brought into the village trussed to a pole like game, and Jack Sparrow spends a few minutes running away from the locals whilst tied to a rotisserie skewer.
* ATruceWhileWeGawk: The pirates momentarily pause battle to watch the strange sight of the mill wheel go by.
* VaginaDentata: The Kraken's mouth (symbolically, rather than literally, obviously).
* VomitIndiscretionShot: Norrington in ''Dead Man's Chest''.
* WackyWaysideTribe: The Peligostos.
* WeirderThanUsual: "The captain's acting a bit strange [''{{beat}}''] ''er''."
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: The two RedShirt fishermen who stumble upon Jack's hat, and, subsequently, become the Kraken's first victims. It sounds vaguely Russian, but it is too difficult to tell since it is spoken at such a fast pace. DVD subtitles imply that it's meant to be Turkish or Turk-Cypriot.
* WheelOfPain: The kraken-summoning machine.
* YourOtherLeft: The conch-headed crewman's knocked-off head tries to guide his body's fumbling attempts to recover it with instructions like this.
