Talk:Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

GA on Hold
These problems need correction:
 * No need of brackets in the intro(the cast list is present!)
 * I have removed the brackets from the lead as they seem pointless considering, after Vikrant Phadkay put, the cast list is actually present in the article (it is a repition of information that is not needed). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhfireboy (talk • contribs) 23:31, 29 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Remove the See Also section (All the links are present at the bottom of the article)
 * Integrate all the stubby subsections under "Reception", rename it "Release and reception" and merge DVD release also there. Vikrant Phadkay 15:44, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * While I removed the see also list, I see no need to erase mention of the cast from the lead. Alientraveller 15:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * But there are too small subsections; and why is DVD release stated after reception? Vikrant Phadkay 14:57, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for passing it. Alientraveller 15:53, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Film budget?
I quoted the budget from IMDb, but according to Alientraveller that's not reliable enough. Fair enough.

Does anyone have a more reliable source for this film's budget? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drummondjacob (talk • contribs) 08:54, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe Bignole had a link to an article showing why Disney never officially confirmed the budget: it was so big that the studio feared market shares would drop if the film "underperformed" ie only making around $700 million or so, and not the $1 billion that it did.
 * Also, Box Office Mojo and IMDb merely took the announced $450 million budget for both films and halved it: but the budget for both films may have risen since. Alientraveller 09:04, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I hear you. Sorry for the trouble. Drummondjacob 09:18, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

"Assuming Good Faith"
As Edit Centric, Alientraveller and myself have said on the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End discussion page, there are a lot of random IP's and Users writing "mishmash and nonsense" on these pages. Yes, we understand that new users and big fans are enthusiastic to edit, but please, check with us here if you want to edit something. We think of edits such as changing the stars from "Keira Knightley" to "Hilary Duff" as vandalism, though you may not have meant it that way. Please, please keep your edits to a minimum.

NEW USERS: please use a sandbox to test your article writing and editing skills. It isn't necessary for you to test your skills here. Please also refrain from creating accounts just to edit these pages to your preferences. We understand that there are "Sparrabeth" shippers out there, and other sort of AU changers, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a forum or RP. Thank you.

Monte Cristo
An interesting parallel:


 * The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas: The character Edmond Dantès escapes the Chateau d'If by hiding himself in a body bag and being thrown into the sea.
 * Pirates: The character Jack Sparrow escapes the Turkish Prison by hiding himself in a coffin and being thrown into the sea.

Coincidence?79.193.109.84 (talk) 19:07, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I noticed the familiarity, however, I don't think it really pertains to this article that much, as we can't put something in that we NOTICED, rather, we can put something we can source. BlackPearl14 Pirate Lord-ess 03:41, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I also noticed the similarity, but also feel it's not worth mentioning. For one, Jack's escape is not really that original. Any captive escaping from an island prison would have few options, and hiding in a coffin or body bag would be one obvious method.PNW Raven (talk)


 * True. But that was the point I was trying to push. BlackPearl14 Pirate Lord-ess of the Caribbean 19:49, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Unscripted scenes
It's a known fact that some scenes were filmed before there was a script ready. Could someone mention which scenes? Or were they left out from the finished film?--Surten (talk) 02:08, 18 February 2009 (UTC)Surten

Script at Internet Movie Script Database
As if, I've found Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest's copyrighted screenplay/script on a website called Internet Movie Script Database. Any objection could be made here. The url is here, while the script is here. For your consideration, even V for Vendetta displays it's script from IMSDB, which the article is a featured article.

Discussion pertaining to non-free image(s) used in article
A cleanup page has been created for WP:FILMS' spotlight articles. One element that is being checked in ensuring the quality of the articles is the non-free images. Currently, one or more non-free images being used in this article are under discussion to determine if they should be removed from the article for not complying with non-free and fair use requirements. Please comment at the corresponding section within the image cleanup listing. Before contributing the discussion, please first read WP:FILMNFI concerning non-free images. Ideally the discussions pertaining to the spotlight articles will be concluded by the end of June, so please comment soon to ensure there is clear consensus. --Happy editing!

Timeline
I think that the timeline here, and generally accepted everywhere as I've found (though not endorsed by Disney), is actually off. Barbossa took over the Pearl 2 years after Jack had it ressurected. Then the Pearl and Barbossa spent 10 years trying to find the cursed medallions to reverse the curse. Elizabeth, on the crossing from England, saw the Pearl after rescuing Will when she was 10, and she's 18 at the start of the first movie, (Will was 12 when rescued and is 20 in the first movie) so that means she saw the Pearl 2 years after Barbossa mutinied, so 4 years into the total 13 years. So, at the end of the first movie, its basically 12 years after Jones resurrected the Pearl. The second movie then happens about a year or less after that, and the third movie picks up where the second left off, basically. Think about it...would Will and Elizabeth really wait 13 years after she dumps Norrington to get married? And the Governor would've certainly noticeably aged, as would the others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Corypark (talk • contribs) 11:58, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Promotional-seeming box-office edits
Concern has been raised about one editor who primarily edit Disney-film box-office sections to add records both significant and extremely minor, as well as POV language about Disney films' "phenomenal runs." A past discussion was held at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film, and I have invited the editor to open a new discussion there if he wishes. His recent such edits have been at Real Steel. --Tenebrae (talk) 17:39, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Like editors at WT:MOSFILM have agreed, the minimum threshold for inclusion is that an analysis can be sourced for a highlight. Beyond that still needs to be hammered out. However, here we have passages referencing raw data. Wikipedia reports highlights, it does not try to create them for reporting. Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 21:30, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Filming timeline for Grand Bahama Island may be in error.
Filming timeline for Grand Bahama Island seems to be off on it's dates, it ends before it starts and Hurricane Wilma occurred in October 2005. Crushedbyadwarf (talk) 10:10, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Fantasy swashbuckler "COMEDY"?!
How come this film and it's first two sequels are listed as comedies in the lead? Is there any reference/source for that? And no, I do not believe when it has been nominated for "Best Musical/Comedy...." awards counts, as awards like that have had a lot of controversy in past as films can be funny but not directly a comedy.

Any source or reference for this inclusion in the lead? If not, I will remove them in a few days if no responses or defence.82.44.112.108 (talk) 08:08, 2 June 2017 (UTC)


 * I've removed mention of 'comedy' as over a week has passed and no replies. If you want to add it back in, say why and with valid sources. 82.44.112.108 (talk) 08:18, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
