Photos[edit]

Aren't there too many photos for this article? There's at least three head shots of Jack Sparrow. Why? Huskydawg 13:22, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DVD Section[edit]

Shouldnt it be mentioned in the DVD section that it was being given out for free in one of the newspapers in the UK Don.-.J 19:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At worlds End?[edit]

Should the third movie, titled "At Worlds End" be listed in this article? I at least think it should be mentioned... Im not going to get into it myself but i think someone could write something saying the release date, plot details, etc...

The problem with that is that this is the Curse of the Black Pearl entry, and not the At World's End entry. I do see that you want it to be, at the least, mentioned, but I do feel that this is, as I've said, the Curse of the Black Pearl entry, and not somewhere to write the Release Date, Plot Details, etc. Thanks for the idea, though.

Info Box[edit]

There should be a "Pirates of the Caribbean" info box to be used on all POTC related articles Mhrmaw 12:21, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Curse[edit]

If Barbossa and all of the other crewmen while being cursed could not feel anything, then how did Ragetti feel the heat from the burning coals? He was clearly burned. Does the curse have an exeption to the incapability to feel rule for feeling of pain and that the cursed is only deprived of pleasurable feelings? Emperor001 22:21, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is not a message board. But to answer your question, it was probably a reflex as he only reacted for a short moment. Fredvdp 19:11, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zimmer[edit]

Can someone please cite a checkable reference for Hans Zimmer as a musician for this film. Seems dubious to me. ॐ Metta Bubble puff 02:46, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What's more verifiable than the director's commentary? Alientraveller 08:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. That's actually not so good. What's does the director say exactly? ॐ Metta Bubble puff 23:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify. I found sources for this, but I'm still concerned about WP:WEIGHT. The way our article reads to me, Zimmer and Badelt have equal composer billing. I imagine that's not what is intended. The Badelt article for instance, writes Klaus Badelt (with Hans Zimmer), which is better. The interviews as I understand them say Zimmer was the music producer, not the composer. ॐ Metta Bubble puff 03:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gore Verbinski said on the audio commentary that there were many composers, led by Badelt and Zimmer. The way I see it, Badelt did most of the work. Fredvdp 19:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a simple way to change the listing here that makes it clearer? I can't think of one. Perhaps Klaus Badelt (with Hans Zimmer), like the other article? ॐ Metta Bubble puff 23:13, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Per Template:Infobox film the composer(s) of original music is to be listed. On this film, Hans Zimmer is credited as a music producer. - Gothicfilm (talk) 02:30, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Successful good article nomination[edit]

I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of October 31, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: I did notice some minor syntax issues in the lead and elsewhere, best bet is to get this to a Peer Review where they can look at that minor stuff with a magnifying glass, and get a good copyeditor to give the article a once over. For example, the first sentence in the plot has too many commas, and is way too long. This is not enough in my estimation to fail the GA, but please do fix these minor syntax issues.
2. Factually accurate?: Good use of citing templates and good sources throughout.
3. Broad in coverage?: Thorough, covers many aspects of production, development, plot, reception, etc. However, please expand on the lead a teensy bit more, perhaps 3-4 more sentences - for an article this long the lead could afford to be a tad bigger.
4. Neutral point of view?: Neutrally worded language throughout, good job.
5. Article stability? No skirmishes on talk page, however a good deal of anon disruption, just keep an eye on this going forward please.
6. Images?: 4 fair use images, each with good fair use rationales. However, the resolution on the image with caption: "Jack and Will prepare to commandeer the Interceptor." is just way too high. Since you gave such detailed fair use rationales on the other lower resolution images, I am leaving it up to you to upload a lower version resolution image for that particular picture.

If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to Good article reassessment. Thank you to all of the editors who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations. —

Significant[edit]

The two British Ragetti and Pintal soilder equivalents, that are in quite a few scenes, and have quite a few lines, should probably be in the cast. They appear throughout the film, effect the plot, and actually have a fair bit of screen time. I really think they should both be added to do article. (Mullroy I think is what one of them is called.)IAmTheCoinMan (talk) 02:19, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Penis?[edit]

I saw a picture of PENIS on the main page. How is it related to the article??----EkmanLi (talk) 07:57, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Only two men sailing the INTERCEPTOR[edit]

After the soldiers of the INTERCEPTOR entered the DAUNTLESS, then Sparrow and Will swung to the INTERCEPTOR, starting and sailing this big ship without any other help. I think two men alone could not do this without a crew. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.240.76.187 (talk) 14:43, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fantasy "COMEDY" swashbuckler?![edit]

How come this film and it's first two sequels are listed as comedies in the lead? Is there any reference/source for that? And no, I do not believe when it has been nominated for "Best Musical/Comedy...." awards counts, as awards like that have had a lot of controversy in past as films can be funny but not directly a comedy.

Any source or reference for this inclusion in the lead? If not, I will remove them in a few days if no responses or defence. 82.44.112.108 (talk) 08:07, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed mention of 'comedy' as over a week has passed and no replies. If you want to add it back in, say why and with valid sources. 82.44.112.108 (talk) 08:18, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

IP plot expansion[edit]

The plot summary currently violates WP:FILMPLOT, at least in part because of edits made by an IP. I have advised said IP of the violation after they repeatedly undid my reverts of their plot expansion. In a few hours it will be a full day since I advised them of the issue, at which time I will restore the shorter version of the plot summary unless anyone else has a valid objection. DonIago (talk) 21:12, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As it's now been over a day, I have reinstated the shorter plot summary in accordance with WP:FILMPLOT. Any dissenting editor is welcome to speak up here so that we can get a consensus on how to proceed. DonIago (talk) 05:28, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Post-credits scene[edit]

If any editor wishes to add the post-credits scene to the plot summary, please work to achieve a consensus here. It's clear that there's some disagreement as to the need for it, and my personal view right now is that the scene isn't essential to following the plot and consequently should be excluded, especially as this film's summary is already flirting with WP:FILMPLOT violations. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 01:47, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
