Here's another nitpicky one... when Jack is playing around with the gold in the chest, (when he's telling Barbossa to wait to lift the curse until after he kills Norington's men) and he picks up about 4 pieces of gold and throws all but one back in, according to the curse, he should of had to repay each one with his own blood.

he only has to pay back that one he took, and right before he throws it to will he cuts his hand with his sword

Well, no. It must be repayed with the blood of the person who took it out of the chest in the first place (or a direct discendent of that person.) If you watch carefully, there is one scene where Barbossa says to his men something like "Who here has paid the blood sacrafice owed to the heathen gods?" to which all the men respond that they have, and that Elizabeth's blood is the only one left to be repaid. (they still think she's a Turner at that point.)
As for the monkey, I have no idea what that means. I think it means only the monkey is recursed (if that's a real word), but then, I think the filmmakers want to leave you wondering.
BTW, Erika, I saw the movie again, and your right, Barbossa does lift out some of the treasure, so I guess that would be another mistake.

So, if the whole crew is re-cursed, then does Barbosa come back to life to search for more apples?
Also, how did Will's father die if he was part of the cursed crew, or am I really confused.
(Only watched once so far)
Finally, if Will had killed himself with the gun, would the crew be cursed forever?
Finally, Why even make the gold coins if no one can ever use them?

They strapped him to a cannon and sunk him into the ocean, so I guess he was alive down there till the curse was lifted.........or else there's another mistake in the movie.
Well, they weren't cursed until Cortez tried to steal them from the Aztecs he was killing and the "heathen gods" put a curse on them then. The pirates stole them from whoever took them in the first place.Finally, Why even make the gold coins if no one can ever use them?

We batted some of these same issues around on another thread.

Can't say we came to any big conclusions but....an intresting read.

Oh, OK gotcha, thanks.
Still, on Bootstrap Turner. If they had not sunk him... would he even be able to bleed after the curse took effect?
Plus, if the curse took a while to affect the other pirates, how did it affect Cpt. Sparrow so quickly?
This really is a movie to watch a few times over.

Okay, about Bootstrap, yes, he could have bled (because all the other pirates cut their hand to end the curse) although when Barbossa shoots the uh, obese pirate (to see if the curse had ended) he doesn't bleed, and Barbossa doesn't until after the curse is lifted, so I guess that's something to think about.
Now, with Jack, that's a good point, one that I never thought of (and I've seen it 4 times). I guess on that one you're going to have to accept that it just did for the sake of the movie. Or perhaps that since the curse had already taken full effect on the other pirates, it now took full effect immediately on anyone who removed a coin. Okay, now my head is starting to hurt. :hammer:
But bottom line with both questions is that there is no real answer that could be drawn from the movie. You just have to settle it in your own mind.

Geez, you all are being way too nit-picky and making up things that aren't even there.
The answer to your question about "boot-strap" being dead is simple. He was never cursed, because he did not personally take any of the gold.

Personally I love to analyze movies. I can enjoy them for what they are (pure entertainment) and I get the added bonus of thinking about the whys, what ifs, and maybes. I get totally emersed in a film when I go to the theatre. I get white knuckles and shredded napkins at a Jurassic Park movie. I cheer for the hero (or villians at times) when their final struggles are at hand. I get teary eyed when death or sorrow approaches. I can hardly watch Meet the Parents cause I feel so incredible bad for Mr. Fockers character throughout the film :lol:.So I don't just see a film for the story presented, but for the entire dimension of this new world being presented before me. You do not have to nit-pick or think into it at all, but I find an extra enjoyment in doing so.
Ultimately it comes down to this... once it is a film then all the rules of that world are set regardless of if it does or doesn't seem to make sense. Sometimes, however, things are explained in a 2 hr + film that others may not have caught the first time and discussions such as this are an excellent way to find that info out. Also, it's a way to relive the movie in your mind the more you talk about it. Just like talking about Disney subjects make you relive those moments in your life (in a sense).

Anyone else think bootstrap is still alive? He may have had a cannon strapped to his bottstraps, but he did have 10 years to get out of the ocean before they lifted the curse.
