Pirates of the Caribbean Facts

At World's End (Cont. 6)

~ The novelization calls Shipwreck Cove Shipwreck Island instead. (It's the same thing right?)

~ In the novelization, Lord Cutler Beckett considers Jack peculiar but devious and Barbossa considers Jack dangerous but foolhardy. (So true...)

~ The website for the Pirates of the Caribbean series is DisneyPirates.com.

~ The title must imply the end of this world and journeying into the next one to rescue Jack.

~ Keith Richards: agreed to appear as Jack Sparrow's father and the keeper of the pirate code. He has been noted as a primary influence on Johnny Depp's performance as Jack Sparrow, and was pursued for an appearance in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006), but was on tour with The Rolling Stones at the time. The day that Richards had come in to film his scenes, he became so drunk on the movie set, Gore Verbinski had to prop him up just so he could continue his scenes. Richards remarked, "If you wanted straight, then you got the wrong man."

~ After the credits, there is an extra scene that shows Will, his father and the Flying Dutchman returning to the island, where Elizabeth is waiting for him with their 9-year-old son William Turner III. (It is actually 'Henry', that was confirmed a few months after the 5th movie finished filming.)

~ The sword that Will made for Commodore Norrington in C.o.t.B.P has an interesting role throughout this one: Becket returns it to Norrington upon his assignment as Admiral; Norrington stabs Davy Jones with it as his answer to Jones' question "Do you fear death?"; Jones takes it ("Nice sword!") and uses it in the final battle; Sparrow knocks it from Jones' hand during the battle to the deck of the Dutchman, where it is found by one of Beckett's soldiers; while admiring it, this soldier is killed by Jones, who takes it back, and later uses it to stab Will Turner through the heart. The sword is last seen in Will's chest as his father goes to remove his heart for the Dutchman's chest, but it has been rumored that when Will and the Dutchman return, Will has this sword at his waist, and this is the sword in the sand on the beach (along with Elizabeth's) at the end.

~The farewells Elizabeth receives from the pirates echo their greetings/farewell in C.o.t.B.P:

Pintel, who met Elizabeth with "'Ello poppet," says "'Bye poppet" to her;Captain Barbossa who first thought Elizabeth was "Miss Turner," calls her "Mrs. Turner"and Elizabeth tells Capt. Jack Sparrow it would never have worked out between them, which Sparrow had earlier told her.

~ The end of the film shows Jack Sparrow in the same position as at the beginning of C.o.t.B.P: aboard a small dinghy in the ocean sailing towards a destination, in search of a fabled artifact...

~ At the end back at Tortuga when Jack figures out that Barbossa stole his ship and gets slapped by the two women, Scarlet and Giselle, look at Jack's waist. He has his "mum" tied around his belt (the shrunken head). (What a nice family heirloom.)
