!Spoilers for this film will be tagged as usual. However, due to its nature as a sequel, this page contains unmarked spoilers for ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl''. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.

** Will insists that he won't leave the island of the Pelogostos without Jack. This is immediately followed by Jack running out onto the beach with the entire tribe chasing after him.

** Jack tells Elizabeth that his status as captain gives him authority to officiate a marriage on the Black Pearl. In the next movie, [[spoiler:Will and Elizabeth are indeed married on the Pearl, albeit by Barbossa, the ship's other captain.]]

-->'''Jack:'''...Oh.

* EyeballPluckingBirds: The film opens up in Turkish prison where prisoners in cages are shown having their eyes pecked out by hungry crows.

* TooDumbToLive: The pirate who accidently picks up a snake while climbing the mountain to escape from the bone cage. Could have just dropped the snake or put it somewhere else rather than panicking and causing the other pirates to panic as well which causes them to plummet to their deaths and alert The Pelegostos.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: Pintel and Ragetti argue the correct pronunciation of kraken. Pintel insists it is "kray-ken" while most say "krack-en". Ragetti explains that the derivation of the word is from original Scandinavian, and thus should be pronounced "krah-ken". Pintel points out they are not "Original Scandinavians".
-->'''Ragetti:''' It's a mythological creature, I can calls it what I wants!

* 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. [[RayOfHopeEnding 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.

* MexicanStandoff: After arriving on Isla Cruces, Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Norrington have a three-way sword duel over who will open the dead man's chest where Davy Jones's heart is kept: Jack wants to use it as leverage to call off the Kraken, Will wants to stab it to free his father Bootstrap Bill from servitude to Davy Jones, and Norrington wants to deliver it to Beckett to be reinstated as a naval officer; [[spoiler:Norrington eventually succeeds]].

** "What more can they possibly do to me?" Well, Jones can send the Kraken on a detour to kill your son, Bill.

* TooBrokenToBreak: As Bootstrap Bill helps his son Will escape from the Flying Dutchman, Will points out that the other crewmen will know he did so and will hold him accountable. Bootstrap, having already pledged to serve on the hellish ship for all eternity, merely laughs and says "What more can they possibly do to me?" Jones calls Bill's bluff later upon realizing what's happened by summoning the Kraken to hunt down Will, all while Bill can only scream and stare in despair as it destroys the ship that picked Will up.

* CrazyPrepared: The crew of the Edinburgh Trader (the ship Elizabeth stowed away on) apparently have been drilling for a kraken attack and have a specific procedure for such an occurrence; granted its effectiveness was somewhat lacking but the fact that they had a plan for such an occurrence screams this trope.

** Marty and Cotton exchange this [[spoiler:just before the Kraken launches its second-and far more effective- attack on the ''Black Pearl''.]]

* SureLetsGoWithThat: Pintel and Ragetti attempt to steal the Black Pearl while the crew is offshore looking for Jack. Gibbs applauds them for prepping the ship for launch upon "catching" them. They both just roll with it and rejoin the Black Pearl as crewmembers.

** "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)

* MexicanStandoff: After arriving on Isla Cruces, Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Norrington have a three-way sword duel over who will open the dead man's chest where Davy Jones's heart is kept: Jack wants to stab it to call off the Kraken, Will wants to free his father Bootstrap Bill from servitude to Davy Jones, and Norrington wants to be reinstated as a naval officer; [[spoiler:Norrington eventually takes the heart and brings it to Beckett]].

** The attempted ArmorPiercingQuestion that Davy Jones gives to Sparrow. "I wonder, Sparrow. Can you do that? Condemn a man to a lifetime of servitude in your name while you roam free?"

* FourIsDeath: It may be a happy accident, but during Liar's Dice, Davey Jones claims "Four fours" to Will, as if to say, "You're dead, buddy." It's a pure bluff, too, since Davey has no fours.
