When reciently watching pirates 2 "dead mans chest" I noticed something... many instances are modeled after lucas arts and tim schaefers escape from monkey island. i am an avid fan of this game (as made evident by murry my icon) and put the peices together and have concluded that this movie is heavily influenced by the afforementioned game. Example one... The bad guy in monkey island is the dead pirate LeChuck, he is dead and in love, he is also cursed to be a pirate forever... (starting to sound like someone) he is the character model for Davy Jones... not to mention that both of their ships are crewed by the undead. Example two... the voodoo woman on monkey island who lives in the middle of a swamp and tells Guybrush all of what he needs to do, and uses the same interrior decoration as Calypso from pirates 2. (see my point yet?) Example 3... in monkey island there is a cutscene where two average joe ship hands are fishing junk out of the watter with gaff hooks and find LeChucks boots and a short while later (ie some seconds) are visited by disaster. This of course being the ground work for the two Ittalian guys who find Jacks hat and then get eaten by the Kracken. (yes i spelled it with a k) Fourth and final example... the girl in monkey is and (elane for you cultured individuals who have played the game) is a pirating lass who is as good with a sword as mrs swann and looks enough like her to be a double.
Leave comments, please so i can know if my claims have a basis or if im being psychotic again.
