Pirates Secrets Revealed: Top Questions Moviegoers Had About Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End was a pamphlet originally included in the DVD release for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, which released December 4, 2007.
Continuity[]
The "Pirate Secrets Revealed" pamphlet covered questions and answers relating to the 2007 film Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
While not stated in the film, Hector Barbossa's title the Pirate Lord of the Caspian Sea was detailed in most At World's End media, including the pamphlet, which revealed that the Pirate Lord of the Caspian passed his Piece of Eight to Barbossa, adding, "That is a story yet to be told."[2] The then-unnamed Pirate Lord made his first appearance, identified by as Boris "Borya" Palachnik, in the 2011 novel The Price of Freedom by A. C. Crispin.[3]
Prior to dissolving into a swarm of crabs in At World's End, Tia Dalma/Calypso shouts an incantation: "Malfaiteur en Tombeau, Crochir l'Esplanade, Dans l'Fond d'l'eau!", which roughly means "Across all the waters, find the path to he who wrongfully entombed me" in French.[4] Originally in Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio's screenplay, a late production draft titled Calypso's Fury, Calypso yelled to Barbossa, "FOOL!"[5] The leaflet said that Calypso was yelling insults at the pirates in her native tongue.[2] The incantation was spoken by Tia Dalma prior to the Hai Peng falling over World's End in the Calypso's Fury screenplay draft,[5] which was also adapted into the junior novelization.[6]
The "Ten years later" post-credit scene featured Will Turner returning to Elizabeth and her nine-year-old son. According to a post by Terry Rossio on Wordplay, Will could step on land once every ten years, and that his attachment to the ship is broken if he finds a love that is true.[7] Although the pamphlet included in the At World's End DVD said that Will was bound to the Flying Dutchman for all eternity,[2] Rossio maintained his opinion.[8] Regarding the 2017 film Dead Men Tell No Tales, written by Jeff Nathanson,[9] Rossio said he was not involved in the decision to disregard his explanation.[10]
