* BatmanGambit: Bootstrap Bill gets a subtle one in joining the game of Liar's Dice between Jones and Will. He refuses to back out since the die is cast, places his bid, and then directs the next bid to joins. In this, he sets the turn order -- him, then Jones, and then Will. Doing so puts him in a position to protect Will if he's caught in a lie, which is exactly what happens:

* GunsDoNotWorkThatWay: Not in that time period, anyway. When Jack stows away in a coffin at the start of the movie, he shoots the bird on top of the coffin to create a hole, then for comic effect points the gun out of the coffin and does a sweep of the surrounding water. Quite what he would have done had anyone been there is not clear, as guns of that period had one shot until reloaded and he just shot the bird with it - guns only having one shot was even a plot point of the previous film.
** Not quite. Though Sparrow does use a single shot pistol for the rest of the film, his gun in that scene is a double flintlock, with two shots available.

-->'''[[spoiler]]Barbossa:]]''' [[spoiler: So tell me, what's become of my ship?]]

--> '''Will:''' Eight fives. \\
'''Jones:''' ''*laughs*'' Welcome to the crew... \\

[[folder:Tropes A-M]]

-->'''Davy Jones''': I keep the boy. Ninety-nine souls. But I wonder Sparrow: can you live with this? Can you condemn an innocent man, a ''friend'', to a lifetime of servitude in your name while you roam free?\\
'''Jack''': ''[looks hesitantly aside for a second before changing his mood]'' Yep. I'm good with it.

-->'''Ragetti''': Since we're not immortal no more, we got to take care of our immortal souls.\\
'''Pintel''': You know you can't read.\\
'''Ragetti''': It's the Bible; you get credit for trying.\\
'''Pintel''': Pretending to read the Bible's a lie. That's a mark against... [Points upward repeatedly]
* AttackAttackRetreatRetreat: Having escaped from the Pelegostos, the crew is ready to leave, but Will exhorts them to go back for Jack--until he sees the Captain himself running down the beach with the whole tribe at his heels.

-->'''Maccus''': You'll trust us to act in your stead?
-->'''Jones''': I trust you to know what awaits you should you ''fail''!

* BlackSpot: Takes the form of a ugly patch of blackened skin on Jack's palm, marking him for death via Kraken. Bootstrap Bill delivers it at the beginning of the film, warning him that the hunt begins immediately. [[spoiler:It is removed later by Davy Jones when Jack agrees to fetch him 100 souls in exchange for Jack's]]. [[spoiler: It grows back suddenly on its own when the 3 days Jones gave him runs out.]]

-->'''Jack''': "Alas, my children, this is the day you shall always remember as the day that you almost--" *SPLOOSH!* "...Cap'n Jack Sparrow."

[[folder:Tropes N-Z]]

-->'''Gibbs:''' By "need", do ya mean a trifling need? Fleeting? As in, say, a passing fancy?
-->'''Jack:''' No, a resolute and unyielding need.

-->'''Marty''': Not good!
* OminousMusicBoxTune: Davy Jones keeps a music box with [[{{Leitmotif}} a tune that is clearly emotionally important to him]]--because it's a match to the one that [[spoiler:Tia Dalma]] holds. He plays the song on his OminousPipeOrgan when he wants it to be louder.

* PrepareToDie: "I shall ''pry'' the chest away from your cold, dead hands." On hearing that, Norrington just gives the chest to the ''Dutchman'' crew--because [[spoiler:he'd already removed the heart anyway]].

->''" Do you fear death?"''

* DownerEnding: Elizabeth forces Jack to stay with the Pearl and be taken down with it by the Kraken, Will doubts his relationship with Elizabeth after seeing her kiss Jack before that, Jones continues his reign of terror over the seas and Norrington's betrayal of the others is sealed as he gets away with Jones's heart and in hopes of restoring his good name, brings it to Beckett. [[HopeSpot That all said]], Tia Dalma has resurrected Barbossa who agrees to captain the survivors to go rescue Jack from the Locker, [[SequelHook setting the stages]] for the next film.

* BittersweetEnding: Elizabeth forces Jack to stay with the Pearl and be taken down with it by the Kraken, Will doubts his relationship with Elizabeth after seeing her kiss Jack before that, Jones continues his reign of terror over the seas and Norrington's betrayal of the others is sealed as he gets away with Jones's heart and in hopes of restoring his good name, brings it to Beckett.

* HellholePrison: The Turkish Prison in the opening scene is the video example of this trope for a reason. It's on screen for less than a minute and is so bad that in that time it demonstrates a level of horror that manages to completely upstage the official BigBad for the rest of the movie, who is no slouch in the evil department. [[NothingIsScarier We never find out]] anything more about it, who runs it, or how it got to be so bad.
