Now that this franchise has 5 instalments under its belt, it appears as though Disney is ready to let it peter out for the time being. Given Disney's history, it will probably be a decade or so before we see an entire reboot of this beloved franchise, and you had better believe that if the company goes through with something like this, fans of the original franchise will have plenty to say about it. After all, at its white-hot peak, there was nothing on this planet that rivalled it in popularity. You couldn't go anywhere with seeing advertisements for it.
The most recent instalments of the franchise have left a lot to be desired from fans, and as such, many of us enjoy going back to where it all began and watching Curse of the Black Pearl. When it was first released, it took the world by storm, and it was a smash hit at the box office. Disney wasted no time in developing a franchise, though most people simply wish that they would have stopped at a trilogy. Say what you will about the other films, but Curse of the Black Pearl is simply too good to be ignored.
So, let's head down memory lane and test you knowledge!

Which Character Said: “I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly.”

Can’t you practically hear them saying this just by reading it? Talk about an absolute gem.

What Is Will Turner’s Occupation?
Throughout the series, we come to view Will Turner as a pirate and future Captain of the Flying Dutchmen, but at the beginning of the series, there is one particular occupation that he is known for.

Yes, he is solid with a sword in his hand, but that wasn’t what he was using to pay the bills before he ran into Jack Sparrow.
Which Two Characters Track Down Elizabeth In Port Royal?

Captain Barbossa tasks two men in particular with retrieving Elizabeth from her home and bringing her to the Black Pearl so that they can finally leave town.
Which Right Does Elizabeth Use On The Black Pearl?
If you are going to get into dealings with pirates, you may want to learn a thing or two about the Pirate Code, because it just might save your life when things are at their most bleak.

This part completely freaked people out when the saw the movie for the first time, and it also happened to be perhaps the most captivating moment of the entire franchise.

Leave it to Disney to knock this one out of the park and turn a ride from Disneyland into a monster hit at the box office.
What Type Of Animal Does Cotton Use To Communicate?
Pirates are known for the slang and their speech delivery, but for some salty dogs out there, getting the words out of their mouth just isn’t possible.

Luckily, he was able to train a special animal to do the talking for him, and the animal becomes a character all its own.

Jack Sparrow is one of the best known pirates in his world, and when he makes his way to Port Royal, his triumphant entrance is marred when the hunk of junk that he is sailing on sinks to the bottom of the bay.

Throughout the series, Jack is always looking to get the upper hand on others while achieving his personal goals.
Where Is Port Royal Located?
Even though Port Royal is under the command of the British, it isn’t located anywhere near the U.K. Most of us have learned in our history classes that plenty of the world’s greatest countries headed out to sea to find locations for trading and naval strategy, and that is precisely why they headed out to Port Royal. Because it is a pretty small island, they were able to make it all their own, and it became a prosperous place under their rule.

He would spend his time in the franchise working for a number of different people, but we like him best when he is serving his own interests.
How Did Barbossa Become Captain?
When you are part of a crew of men, you are supposed to fall in line and obey the instruction of those appointed over you. Unfortunately, these people calling the shots aren’t necessarily the best people for the job, and this could cause tensions to rise within the ranks. While most people will simply suck it up and serve dutifully, others take things into their own hands to make a radical change for their men. Sometimes, it proves to be the right choice.
Finish This Line: “Gentlemen! You shall always remember this as the day that you almost caught…”
This is perhaps the most well known line from the film and, instead of having you identify who said this line, we are going to let you have some fun and finish this one. Each movie franchise that goes on to be incredibly successful has moments in it that people will quote and imitate to the point of exhaustion, and there is perhaps no line more famous from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise than this one here. The response to this is just as memorable.
Where Is The Black Pearl Heading?
Throughout the film, the crew of the Black Pearl is looking for a specific piece of gold to take to a place that cannot be found on a map.

It is on this island where the cursed crew needs to go to end the horrible life that they’ve been given.

With all this talk of curses, you’d have to be crazy to go on an adventure looking for a chest of gold quite like this one. It is the reason why the crew of the Black Pearl is so feared, and it is the reason why they are desperately trying to right their wrongs. Not unlike curses you have seen in other movies, there is a very specific guideline to breaking this particular curse, and given the amount of gold in the chest, it’s almost impossible.
Whose Blood Is Needed To Break The Curse?
The cursed gold that the crew of the Black Pearl gets their hands on gives them a gift that they want no part of, and they spend the duration of the film trying to return the gold and break the curse that has plagued their life.

Can you remember which character this is?
How Many Pieces Of Gold Are In The Chest?
When pirates head out to sea looking to plunder, they are all blessed with an eye for something shiny, and they can spot a piece of gold from a mile away. When the crew of the Black Pearl comes across the island that houses the cursed gold, they know that they have hit the jackpot, and they quickly took what they could and wanted to give nothing back. The chest they found had an incredible amount of gold in it, but it came at a price.
Which Character Said: “You are, without doubt, the worst pirate I've ever heard of.”
As we have seen through the years, a gifted and notorious pirate can etch his name into the history books by embarking on successful missions and by destroying his enemies in the process.

One of the coolest aspects of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is that it took actual pirate mythology and seamlessly blended it into a fun and thrilling story that included compelling characters.

Piracy functions in a completely different way these days and, back when wooden ships ruled the seas, piracy was a major issue and it gave way to us getting some truly remarkable stories.
