Line #17 Trivia/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMansChest


1	* ActingInTheDark: The cast were told that Annamaria would be the one to appear in the final scene. Thus their reactions when they see [[spoiler: Barbossa]] are genuine.
2	* ActorInspiredElement: Keira Knightley herself suggested the scene where [[spoiler: Elizabeth handcuffs Jack to the ship]].
3	* ActorSharedBackground: Sort of. Naomie Harris's mother is Jamaican and acted as her dialect coach during production -- since Tia Dalma speaks in a partial Jamaican accent.
4	* BannedInChina: For depicting cannibalism.
5	* BeamMeUpScotty: The image of Captain Jack fighting atop the rolling water wheel is one of the most fondly remembered from this film... despite the fact that it's actually Will and Norrington fighting on the wheel, with Jack mostly just getting tossed around inside it. The image of Jack on the wheel itself that people likely remember is not from this film, but rather ''[[Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg Epic Movie]]''.
6	* TheDanza: Lejon is played by [=LeJon=] Stewart.
7	* DeletedScene:
8	** Rather, deleted scenes from the previous film were used in the Tortuga sequence of this one.
9	** There are other notoriously deleted scenes from this film that would've made ''At World's End'' a little more coherent; for example, the liar's dice game between Will and Jones had an ''entire first round'' containing major {{Foreshadowing}} towards Will's fate and enough fuel to imply the reasoning for Jones' disposition. Another had Elizabeth show her papers from Beckett to Jack, who sticks his tongue out in disgust and further emphasizing their personal enmity towards one another, while another expanded on the scene where the Kraken hunts down Will (in particular, Bootstrap attempts to pin the blame on Jack for Will retrieving the key, to which Jones responds, "What makes you think it's ''[[WhamLine your son]]'' that's being punished here?"). And significantly (or not, YMMV), the scene after Will being whipped had Will CallingTheOldManOut and mentioning Barbossa, to which Bootstrap asks, "Who's Barbossa?" This foreshadows what would eventually happen to him in the next film.
10	* DVDCommentary: The commentary by the writers included their noting the bone-cage chase on the cannibal island and the three-way sword fight on a giant wheel caused them to ask the director "Did you get your kids a hamster for Christmas?" They also go into a fair amount of self-deprecation, explaining the symbolism behind certain scenes only to say, "Oh, c'mon, you know no one uses literary devices in these summer blockbusters..."
11	* EnforcedMethodActing:
12	** Creator/OrlandoBloom's script left out [[spoiler: the kiss between Elizabeth and Jack]], so his reaction would be genuine.
13	** Depp's ThrowItIn with the jar of dirt - take a look at Bloom in that scene, before looking back to Depp and watching, you can see him momentarily glance to the left for no apparent reason. He was actually looking at the director to see if he was going to shout "Cut".
14	** The reactions of the crew at the end when [[spoiler:Barbossa]] showed up, as they actually were told Anamaria was going to come out.
15	** The actors were not told that the bone cage was going to start swinging, nor that the cage would actually be rolling while they were in it.
16	* FakeBrit: Swedish actor Creator/StellanSkarsgard as English Bootstrap Bill Turner.
17	* FakeScot: English actor Creator/BillNighy as Scottish Davy Jones.
18	* KidsMealToy: UsefulNotes/McDonalds sold a set of eight toys in their Happy Meals. A later set based partly on the ride but also including film elements was released in 2008.
19	* RealLifeWritesTheHairstyle: Keira Knightley had to wear extensions as she'd cut her hair extremely short for ''Film/{{Domino\|2005}}'' and there wasn't time for her to regrow it to the correct length.
20	* RealitySubtext: The scene where the characters argue about how to pronounce the Kraken's name was inspired by an actual debate amongst the cast and crew.
21	* ThrowItIn: "I've got a jar of dirt" was ad-libbed by Creator/JohnnyDepp, and those are the genuine reactions of the ship's crew.
22	* TroubledProduction: The script took ages to finish and storyboards had to be created without one. The writers had to be on set and keep writing while filming was going on. On-location shooting in Dominica faced problems as well -- as the country was not prepared for such a huge Hollywood production. Problems ranged from small -- underdeveloped roads making it difficult for crew to get about -- to large -- rapid changes in weather and temperatures. Filming in the Bahamas was equally as troubled -- the tank they were using hadn't been finished by the time they started, and Hurricane Wilma attacked the sets. Additionally this and the third film were shot back to back.
23	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
24	** Creator/RichardEGrant, Creator/ChristopherWalken, Creator/JimBroadbent and Creator/IainGlen had discussions for Davy Jones before the casting of Creator/BillNighy.
25	** Music/KeithRichards was meant to cameo in this movie, but had to drop out due to touring commitments. He does manage to appear in the third and fourth films.
26	** Annamaria was scripted to return, but Creator/ZoeSaldana declined. She cited having a horrible experience on the first film -- so horrible she nearly quit acting -- and felt it wasn't worth it.
27	** The ''Flying Dutchman'''s crew were originally imagined as straightforward ghosts, but Creator/GoreVerbinski didn't like that idea.
28	* WordOfGod: The hierarchy of the Dutchman's crew is correspondent to how mutated they are. The more Eldritch they look, they higher on the totem pole they are.
