Pirate mutiny3/11/2023 ![]() ![]() In Terry Rossio's original script for Dead Men Tell No Tales, at the film's post-credits sequence, it would have been revealed that Barbossa was planning a third mutiny against Jack Sparrow after having recovered his position as First Mate but this time planning to kill Jack too.One reason was that the traditional mutiny had already taken place. When he read the script for The Curse of the Black Pearl, actor Johnny Depp found the script quirky.They marooned Jack on an island and left him to die, but not before he'd gone mad with the heat." ― Joshamee Gibbs concerning Jack Sparrow That should mean the location of the treasure, too. See, three days out on the venture, the first mate comes to him and says everything's an equal share. " He plays things closer to the vest now. The mutineers ended up putting Joshamee Gibbs as their new captain. They immediately aimed their guns at Jack in frustration, making Jack decide to call upon mutiny, having Henry Turner and Carina Smyth join him on a rowboat. ĭuring the quest for the Trident of Poseidon, the crew of the Dying Gull discovered that their captain Jack Sparrow was being hunted by a deadly ghost sailor for the sole purpose of revenge. However, his revolt is quickly stopped in its tracks when Blackbeard brought the sinister ship to life. Trapped on a ship crewed by zombies, going to a place of almost certain death, rebellion seemed Jack's only option. He also didn't care much for swabbing the deck. Add to the zombie officers, an abused and terrified crew, and Blackbeard's reputation for brutality, and Jack felt it was an entirely unacceptable combination. ĭuring the quest for the Fountain of Youth, having known a thing or two about mutinies, Jack Sparrow found himself on the planning side of his own mutiny on board Blackbeard's flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge. Following the battle between the Brethren Court Armada against the East India Trading Company Armada, Barbossa stole the Black Pearl from Jack Sparrow, again, under circumstances that could only be described as mutiny. After the death of Admiral James Norrington, Davy Jones' crew attempted to mutiny aboard the Flying Dutchman, only to find soldiers of the East India Trading Company aiming cannons at the Dead Man's Chest, with Mercer holding the key Jones' heart and the Dutchman were still firmly under the foot of the Company. Will Turner later led a mutiny aboard the Pearl, this time against the motley crew after saving Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones' Locker, with the help of Sao Feng's Chinese pirates of the Empress. More than 10 years later, Mary Bonny's crew raised a mutiny against their captain and left her in the middle of the sea in a small boat. When Jack Sparrow captained the Pearl and Hector Barbossa was his first mate, Barbossa led his crew in a mutiny that overtook the ship and marooned Sparrow on a deserted island and left him to die. One of the most notable mutinies occurred at the beginning of the quest for the Treasure of Cortés, aboard the infamous pirate vessel, the Black Pearl. When the rogue pirate captain Christophe-Julien de Rapièr shot his First Mate, the crew of La Vipère raised a mutiny and left Christophe in a small boat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. A few years later, Left-Foot Louis and Silverback raised a mutiny onboard the La Fleur de la Mort, but their attempt to overthrow Captain Laura Smith was unsuccessful. In 1720, Edward England's crew mutinied because their captain decided to spare their prisoners. Several mutinies occurred throughout the Age of Piracy, and almost all of them were successful. "Aye, the perfidious rotter led a mutiny against us!" ― Sao Feng, Jack Sparrow and Joshamee Gibbs concerning Will Turner Thank you to Natural Resources Wales and Coastal Housing for sponsoring the evening."
