Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Hey.

David Jones he's got like the in Pirates of the Caribbean he comes in Dead Man's Chest I'm saying what was his real name Bill

Nighy oh okay yeah okay I got okay okay I was like wait a second what yeah okay yeah Bill Nighy yeah he's in a lot of fucking like English films and stuff oh yeah he

was

But here's the interesting thing.

I think I love Dead Man's Chest maybe even more.

Now that's, now.

Fly, now you fly.

Now, okay.

You literally like Dead Man's Chest better than The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Nope.

What? You literally have it as a five star.

Just watched Dead, was it Dead Man's Tails today?

Dead Man's Chest?

Dead Man's Chest.

That's it.

It's Dead Men Tell No Tales is the other one, isn't it?

They don't want the same money on the effects to watch her change into somebody.

because they started filming in August 2005 and wrapped in January and the film was due out in May it had a budget of $210 million not only was it the highest budget for an X-Men film to that point it was one of the most expensive films ever made to that point but it was quickly beaten by the Pirates of the Caribbean 2 now the film made $460 million worldwide now initially a lot of people would see that as profitable but I double this money near enough I've heard a thing that that budget there doesn't include the millions they would spend on the marketing.

Marketing and all that.

Because they were doing all the adverts and toys and the video game and all that crap.

It was funny because John Landis directed a bunch of different things.

John Landis was at ILM one day and we were eating lunch and John Knoll was there and John wrote Photoshop and John got an Academy Award for Pirates 2.

Super smart.

And Landis said, why does this high frame rate stuff look like crap? And John said, oh, people just haven't, they just haven't upped their game enough for it.

So Happy Feet actually stayed at number one in week two with 37 million and again at number one in week three with 18 million, which is only the second film we've covered to go three straight weeks at the box office.

Dead Man's Chest is the only other one that went three straight weeks.

This movie finally was dethroned on December 8th by Apocalypto.

And even then, just barely, I think it beat it by like 400 grand or something like some like in week four, it just barely lost the number

So if Johnny Depp insists he wants to have a dead bird on his head and wants to have like copper tanning, Gore Verbinski can't argue against that because the studio is going to side with Johnny.

Gore Verbinski, you haven't had a hit since Pirates 2.

What are you talking about? Get out of here.

Like, we don't need you anymore.

Twinkie or something.

The other two movies I saw a midnight release of with my dad and stepmom were Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and then Star Wars Episode 3.

And I had not really seen many of a Star Wars film since then, so I was kind of lost, but I was like, I just remembered people at the time going,

this one's so dark and fucked in the head.

That actually

is a good one because it was Dead Man's Chest was one of them.

That's probably why it sounds familiar.

That's Ryan Gosling's gothic folk rock

More than Disneyland Pirates, they are Pirates of the Caribbean Pirates.

They are almost exactly halfway in between the Undead Pirates of The Black Pearl and the sea monster Lovecraftian Pirates of Dead Man's Chest.

Dead Man's Chest came out in 2006.

This chapter came out in 2009.

Oh, is this the clear influence coming in? Firstly, I have to say, Dead Man's Chest is actually my favourite Pirates film.

Yeah.

I really underestimated how obvious the influences were getting at this point.
