Swashbuckler set in the Caribbean during the 17th century, with Johnny Depp as
gentleman pirate Jack Sparrow. He teams up with a young blacksmith (Orlando
Bloom) and a governor's daughter (Keira Knightley) to stop a band of dastardly
zombie pirates led by Geoffrey Rush from reversing an ancient curse. Also with
Orlando Bloom, Jack Davenport and Jonathan Pryce. Directed by Gore Verbinski. [2:23]
SEX/NUDITY 3 - A man and a woman kiss. A man bandaging a woman's
wounded hand leans over to kiss her but does not. A man removes a woman's dress
and cuts off her corset, while saving her from drowning. A man admires a woman
and looks at her longingly. A port city is shown with women (presumably
prostitutes) interacting with drunken men. Two men talk about "finding a woman."
As a woman straps on a man's belt and gun he flinches and says to her "easy on
the goods." A woman's dress is sheer and we see a hint of her nipples when the
dress gets wet. Women wear dresses that are low-cut, exposing cleavage. Two men
tell a woman that she has been ordered to "dine with the crew and naked." Men
are bare-chested in several scenes.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - In several scenes we see men turn into gruesome,
decaying skeletons when they are hit by moonlight. A man is shot in the chest
and blood soaks his shirt. A man is shot in the chest and he falls back to the
floor dead. A man catches a cannonball in the stomach and is thrown back through
a door. A man is hit by a large sign that swings loose and knocks him back
through a window. Pirates come on shore and begin pillaging and plundering at a
port city, and fights ensue: we see people being slashed with knives and swords,
people being shot, one man is hit in the back with a hatchet which is then
retrieved by the man who threw it, cannons continue to fire and fires burn.
Pirates board a ship and they fight with the crew; we see people being stabbed,
shot and thrown overboard. Pirates board a ship and kill many of the crew; we
see one having his throat slashed (there's no blood or gore), another stabbed,
one is stabbed repeatedly, and one is shot. A woman stabs a man in the chest
with a dinner knife, he pulls it out (no blood), the woman screams and runs when
she sees him and other men as skeletons; she hits one and his head breaks off
(he puts it back on). Two men stab each other (we hear a squish). A woman is
held over a chest and we are led to believe that she is going to be killed but
her hand is cut with a knife (we see blood on her hand and a coin). A man breaks
a man's arm off (it's skeletal) and the arm continues to move, it chases the man
and lunges for his throat. Three men (skeletal) are tethered together on a pole
and an explosive is put in the rib cage of one. A man holds a gun to his head
and chin threatening to kill himself. A port city is bombarded by cannon fire
from a ship: we see people being thrown by the explosions, and people run and
scream in fear. Two ships fire their cannons on each other (one uses cutlery
instead of cannon balls). A woman is held and pawed at by men, and we see one
pulling her hair. A woman walks a plank and falls into the sea, and a man jumps
off a plank. Two men fight with swords: one throws a sword into a door near the
other man's head as he tries to leave, one man grabs a hot sword out of coals
and continues to fight, one man with chains on his wrists is pinned by a sword
to a beam overhead, one man is shoved off a cart and onto the ground, the other
is catapulted off the cart, one is hit on the head with a bottle and falls
unconscious, and one is covered with sand when a bag is opened over his head. A
man opens his mouth revealing that his tongue has been cut out. A hatch below a
man's feet opens and he nearly hangs. A man holds a sword on another man, who
causes a boom to swing, hitting the man with the sword and forcing him to dangle
over the sea. Two men are shot at as they sail away. Two men fight off many
guards with punches, kicks and shoving. A woman is hit in the face and falls
over a small incline. A man is hit in the face by a hot bed warmer, another man
is burned by the hot coals inside the bed warmer, and a man is hit on the head
and falls unconscious. A woman is chased by two men until they discover her
hiding in a closet. Men are held at swordpoint, knifepoint and gunpoint in many
scenes. A ship runs over a small boat splintering it just after its occupants
jump out. A man who is handcuffed holds the chain across a woman's neck, holds a
gun to her head and threatens to harm her. Three skeletal bodies hang on a stone
archway as a warning to pirates. An unconscious boy floats on a plank of wood in
the sea and in the distance we see the remains of two ships in flames and dead
bodies floating in the water. A man is trapped in the hold of a ship as it fills
with water and the ship explodes. A woman faints, falls over a stone wall and
into the sea below where she remains unconscious and sinks to the bottom before
being pulled out. A man falls over a high wall and into the sea below (he is
unharmed). A man being threatened by armed guards is pulled up by a rope that
sends a cannon crashing through the pier below causing men to fall into the sea,
and the guards fire at him as he runs away. A ship and the people onboard are
tossed around when they go through a storm that sends large waves crashing down
on them. A man is shoved into a cell. A man burns a donkey with a hot iron (we
hear the sizzle and hear the donkey cry). A man slams a hatchet into a table in
anger. Two women slap a man hard in the face, and a woman hits a man hard twice
in the face. There is a running joke about a man whose eye is artificial and
made of wood: we see him putting the eye in the socket several times, we hear it
creak when he rubs it and he complains of splinters, he is hit in the eye with a
fork and another man pulls the fork out with the eye attached, and his eye pops
out and he scrambles along the floor to get it, etc. A girl stands on the deck
of a ship that sails through a dense, eerie fog and people warn her about
pirates. A ship sails through a ships' graveyard and we see sharks swimming
under the surface, and a small boat sails through a passage where we see human
skulls. We hear stories of a curse being placed on anyone who disturbs a
treasure. A man stands with a rope around his neck and we hear him being
sentenced to "hang by the neck." We hear about a man being tied to a cannon and
dropped into the sea to die. There is talk of a man getting a "short drop and a
sudden stop" (i.e. being hanged), a man imitates the act with a scarf around his
neck, and a man talks about pirates who "rape, pillage and plunder." A man spits
on another man, a man has a scar on his face, and a man has decorative scarring
on his body. A man (skeleton) drinks wine and we see it pouring through what
would be his throat and around his ribs, coloring them red. A bird defecates on
a man's coat.
