Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl explained by an idiot

The movie that single-handedly defined all pirate music for a decade

"He's a Will. He's a Will Smith? No. He's not Will Smith. He's a blacksmith." So he is Will Smith?

"Had to be moved by dolphins", Sea turtles mate, SEA TURTLES

A slice of apple pie is $2.50 in Jamaica and $3.00 in the Bahamas. These are the pie rates of the Caribbean.

"Why don't we call fashion designers fascists" This got me laughing so hard lmfao

"and he once again uses copious amounts of bullshit to escape" Basically Jack's entire character across all of the movies.

Thank you, thank you. I cannot believe how many reviewers got the details about the sacrifice wrong. Like almost all of them ignore the fact that Jack cuts his hand before the curse is broken and assume ONLY Will is needed.

I’m sorry but the fact that he forgot the word blacksmith but remembered AND pronounced isla de muerta correct is such a stonner moment 😂

So 3 spooky scary skeletons out of a pumpkin… Well skeleton have 206 bones on average, so if you times that by 3 then you get 618, and pumpkins usually have roughly 500 seeds, meaning this movie ranked a solid 12.36/10 thats really a high score…

The walking under water thing with the boat actually does work, it's a fucking nightmare trying to stop it from flipping over and floating to the surface though

I will admit, it kinda ruined my childhood when you explained how they were going to r4pe Elizabeth after being free from the curse. Nice work High Boi, love your ability to rewrite peoples childhood.

I know I'm a couple months late and this is a long one, bear with me. You mentioned Jack's mascara being at different levels, and it reminded me of this. A fun fact about sea faring peoples(including pirates): they would often cover themselves in charcoal or mud to help protect their skin from the sun and torrential winds(which can cause wind burn 'yes that's a real thing'). Also lesser known fact: almost all famous pirate captains (such as Blackbeard, Henry Every, Mary Read, etc) were known to have their crews regularly bathe in the sea water to keep disease and stink down. So not all pirates were filthy, they just looked filthy to protect themselves from the harsh environment of the long stints out at sea.

The way High Boi describes each character on the whiteboard is just simply hilarious

The movie I watched like 300 times as a child. Perfection.

Fun fact. Jack Sparrow isn't "always drunk" as it may seem, but he is dehydrated to the point his brain is working differently.

6:39 "Whole crew board leaving their own ship and that's just stupid" Meanwhile Sea of Thieves players: What did he say?(We are always doing it)

Jack Sparrow isn't always drunk he had some tipe of sea sickness that's why you see him walking normaly when he's on-board a ship, and walking like a drunk hobo when he's on land

12:20 A little bit of trivia for your Comment reaction video. They actually did sometimes tow the rowboats behind the ship. The rowboats were usually stored on the main deck (in the middle, not at the sides), but they were sometimes towed to prevent them from drying out and stop being watertight. They also put them down before battle to clear out the space on the main deck and to reduce the chance of them being damaged. So at that point of the movie, it is entirely plausible for the rowboat to be there. Not sure if it was a surprising attention to detail from the film crew, or just blind luck.

What I think is the dumbest thing that happened? Is that Barbossa didnt keep his own coin until he was ready to give it up. Imagine if after Will said "He didn't waste it." and Barbossa turned to see him drop the coins and end the curse Barbossa revealed he still had HIS coin and said "Or did he?"

6:16 this is actualy very real. Back in the days, the first divers hadn't got any oxygen masks, so they used something called a diving bell. It uses physics by quickly descending the bell in the water to create an oxygen capsule inside. You can even try this at home with a glass or a mug in the sink. With each breath you take the water rises and oxygen gets lovwer, so they had to have some experience with how many times they can return for oxygen. The boat would of course have some holes in it, so the movie is kinda bs, but in indiana jones they used a stone sarcophabus i think and that would work too, if you could actually carry it under water
