Say what you will about Dead Man’s Chest, but the soundtrack is absolutely stellar, with the Sailor’s Hornpipe bit in Tortuga, the dirge for the Dutchman, etc. One of my favorites of all time.

We all knew this happening, although I was thinking it was going to be the post-credits scene at best, with her coming back for real for #6.

The way Disney is going, Sabe could be getting her own anthology movie and a 5 issue Marvel comic in the next couple years, so anything is possible!

Nice! I can only imagine how many times “aw, that’s just mah pet snake, Reggie” gets quoted at your place!

“Reggie” - Named for Jock’s snake in Raiders of the Lost Ark?

I miss Buzzy’s.

I’ve gotten several items for my cosplay outfits from Todd, can easily recommend his site as a source for quality stuff.

Awesome...

You know, I was thinking about that this afternoon and thinking the timing there has gotta be off given how old Reed is there, but that Ollie moment was so iconic I just assumed it was what Thomas was doing. Snake eating it’s own tail I suppose among the Brit crowd.

Of course! He’s Sonny from I Robot! That’s where I’ve heard his voice before coming out of robot..been nagging at me for a week and I hadn’t looked it up yet..

That’s him doing Oliver Reed, not Harris -

The first is really second only to the Indy films in terms of a great 30's pulp adventurer, helped greatly by Goldsmith’s score, the effects that still hold up well today, good leads in Fraser and Weisz, as well as memorable supporting characters.

This just makes me want to watch the 1st Brendan Fraser one again.

Elizabeth’s journey is absolutely the heart of the first trilogy, from damsel-in-distress Governer’s daughter, to sword-wielding, ass-kicking, Pirate King
