The film also returns to the main ‘Tortuga’ set in Wallilabou Bay , on the island of St Vincent in the West Indies, though only for a short scene toward the end of the film.
The Salt Flats, across which Will Smith dragged the unconscious alien in Independence Day, are 120 miles west of Salt Lake City. There’s a 3.5 mile access road north from I-80 before you reach the state border of town of Wendover. here
Covering over 30,000 acres or 45 square miles, the Salt Flats were formed when the ancient Lake Bonneville receded and evaporation left large concentrations of dissolved minerals deposited in surrounding soils. here
Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean is a wild and exciting universe but there are quite a few things that make no sense. more
Release in the early '00s, when Disney didn't know whether or not a pirate film (much less one based on one of its theme park rides) would prove very successful, it managed to sail away with spoils enough to launch an entire franchise. But there are still things about the film that make no sense, 10 of which you'll find below. [links]
Just as Jack Sparrow is bar far the best pirate on the Seven Seas, Pirates of the Caribbean (or Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl as it's formally known) is one of the best action-adventure films of all time. With danger, excitement, and romance, it has something for every fan of the genre, as well as breakout performances by a talented cast of colorful characters.
Both crews arrive at the island at much the same time, although Davy Jones sends his sailors to retrieve the chest as he cannot set foot on land for another decade. Jack, Norrington and Elizabeth use the compass to find the chest. Will appears and is reunited with Elizabeth. They embrace and Will kisses her. The chest precipitates a three-way duel between Jack, Will and Norrington for possession of it. As they are occupied, Davy Jones's crew arrives and attack Ragetti and Pintel who have taken the chest while Jack, Will, and Norrington fight each other. [links]
The crew makes it back to the Pearl just as Pintel and Ragetti, recently escaped from jail with help from the Prison Dog, are attempting to commandeer the ship. Jack himself arrives, pursued by the entire Pelegostos tribe, though manages to board the ship before they can catch him. Instead, their attention is drawn by the dog, who runs off into the jungle, chased by the natives. more
The sentry inadvertantly buys Jack some time, as his arrival coincides with the Pelegostos' attempt to roast Jack alive. He escapes while the villagers race to kill their prisoners, but meets further resistance as he makes his way through the village. As Will and the crew roll through the jungle, still trapped inside their cage, Jack falls into a ravine, though his fall is broken by the pole he is tied to, and a series of wooden bridges. more
Meanwhile, another prison break has occurred, and now Pintel (Lee Arenberg) and Ragetti (Mackenzie Crook) are making their way to Pelegosto Island along with the Prison Dog. They reach land, and set about preparing to take the Pearl as their own. Elsewhere on the island, Will Turner is being held inside one of two bone cages suspended over a ravine, along with the surviving crew of the Pearl. Gibbs informs him that the Pelegostos believe Jack is a god in human form, and intend to free his divine spirit by roasting and eating his "fleshy prison". The crew attempts to swing their cages across the chasm to climb up the other side. However, Leech spurs his crewers on to compete with Will and the others, and in their haste, tumble from the side of the cliff and plummet into the ravine. This draws the attention of a sentry, who runs to warn the villagers. more
Meanwhile, aboard the Flying Dutchman, Bootstrap Bill is reunited with his long-lost son after Jimmy Legs orders "Mr. Turner" to secure the mast tackle. Both Turners attempt the procedure, and when Bill encounters his son, lets go of the line, causing Will to drop a hoisted cannon into the deck. For his apparent mistake, Jimmy Legs prepares to whip Will, but Bootstrap intervenes, intent on taking his son's punishment. Davy Jones appears questioning this kindness as Boostrap reveals to the crew and Will that he is the boy's father. Cruelly, Jones forces Bootstrap to whip his own son, though Bootstrap insists it was an act of compassion compared to the severe lashing Jimmy Legs would have inflicted. here
When production wrapped, many of the people who worked on the film (including Johnny Depp) picked props out from the treasure cave to take home. According to Verbinski, not a single one of the cursed coins was left behind. [links]
He wanted to incorporate how the features of the Disneyland attraction made him both scared (and made him laugh) into the film. Based on how frightening the ghost pirates were, and how hilarious Jack and Will’s lines were, we’d say he nailed that feeling. more
Screenwriters Ted Elliott, and Terry Rossio were on set when the film was shooting, an event that is pretty rare in the world of movie-making. This gave the cast more freedom to improv, and have it added to the actual script. Jack’s recurring phrase “savvy” and a familiar line at the end of the film: “Bring me that horizon” were a result of this process. more
Despite looking seamless, the shot where the ship emerges from the fog (which opens the film) actually consists of five different shots. The footage was shot at the beginning of filming, but wasn’t completed until two days before the premiere. more
They both compared it to a “lizard running on water.” Looking back at Pirates of the Caribbean, we can totally see where they’re coming from. here
