Pirates of the Caribbean Trivia

10/16/08

THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL (2003)

The movie, Pirates of the Caribbean was inspired by one of the rides in Disney theme park with the same name.  The movie was the first film that Walt Disney launched as PG-13 even though they have been releasing Rated R films since the 1980s.

One of the scenes that movie-watchers won’t probably notice is that on the part when Will wakes up after he has been knocked-out, he looks outside and sees in the port the girl who played the part of young Elizabeth was sweeping at a doorway. The film was premiered in Disneyland Park in California on June 28, 2003 and has been the first movie to be premiered inside the Disneyland Park.

DEADMAN’S CHEST (2006)

The Deadman’s Chest was the next installment to The Curse of the Black Pearl. Two ships were built for the production – The Black Pearl and The Flying Dutchman.

In this film, Keira Knightley had to wear hair extensions again (as with the first film) because her hair was still short from her previous film Domino (2005).

Regarding the ghost who ‘haunted’ the ship that Elizabeth was riding in, she set the word ‘Tortuga’ on fire as a sign to the crew where to go next. Guess what font the set used?  It was written in the trademark Disney font.

The producers were too excited for the next installment that they decided to shoot Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End back-to-back with the second film.
