A Dead Mans Chest

Fifteen men on the dead man's chest— Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest— Stevenson does not make clear if this lyric is part of Dead Man's Chest or another fictional song entirely. Regardless, the words of the lyric help advance the storyline. Other variations of the poem were printed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that claimed to be folklore , but in reality were nothing more than new extensions from Stevenson's original.

The song has been widely used in the arts for over a century. In the film Return to Treasure Island , starring Robert Newton, the song was sung in the opening credits, and instrumentally as the thematic background to the action. In the television series The Adventures of Long John Silver —again starring Robert Newton—it was, although only in instrumental version, the series' theme song played both at the beginning and the end of each episode. Astrid Lindgren expanded Stevenson's couplet differently in the script for the Pippi Longstocking TV series; the two resulting verses were sung to a West Indian sea shanty.

Alan Moore made a play on the song in the graphic novel Watchmen ; the chapter is called "One man on fifteen dead men's chests. Allison's lyrics, re-released in on their CD titled "Pirate Gold". A rendition was recorded by the steampunk band Abney Park as "The Derelict". In the second Pirates of the Caribbean film, Master Gibbs sang the original version from Treasure Island —a fourth wall joke, as the film was called Pirates of the Caribbean: In German, the song is sometimes known as "17 Mann auf des toten Manns Kiste", so it mentions two more men, or sometimes as "13 Mann", mentioning two fewer, most prominently in Michael Ende 's Jim Knopf stories.

Many authors have written prequels and sequels to Treasure Island. One such example is R.

Delderfield 's The Adventures of Ben Gunn , in which Ben tells Jim Hawkins that the song is a reference to "an island of the Leewards" which "was little more than a long, high rock, shaped like a coffin" which was nicknamed "Dead Man's Chest". In Delderfield's story, the song is about 15 pirates who shipwrecked there who had salvaged many barrels of rum but almost no food, and were "all raving drunk" upon their rescue.

Ursula's day, and named them after the Saint and her eleven thousand mythical virgins. Unfortunately, English buccaneers have since then given to most of them less poetic names. The Dutchman's Cap, Broken Jerusalem, The Dead Man's Chest, Rum Island, and so forth, mark a time and a race more prosaic, but still more terrible, though not one whit more wicked and brutal, than the Spanish Conquistadores.

My favourite one was the three-way sword fight that continued through a spinning wheel. I liked that the director used minimal CGI for these scenes.

The cinematography is stunning and the exotic landscape is breathtaking. The actors do a fairly good job of reprising their role.

It's great to see Johnny Depp again as Jack Sparrow. Orlando Bloom is quite alright but his chemistry with Keira Knightley appears to be weaker than in the first movie. Knightley does an okay job too. Jack Davenport is a surprise to watch in a different gettup.

Bill Nighy is great as the squid-faced villain and Naomie Harris is convincing as the witch with the Jamaican accent. The rest of the cast are adequate. The dialogues are funny and witty and the comedy works but at times, 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest' felt more like a repetition than a continuation of 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl'.

The CGI, particularly on Davy Jones and his crew looked poor when compared to that used in Peter Jackson's 'King Kong' the kind which would have excellently worked for this movie. The ending is unintentionally funny and seems very rushed. Not to mention, it's continuous a cliffhanger ending so the third one better be good. For me, what stood out more about this movie than the first one were the amazing outdoorsy locations and the action scenes. It's quite a good sequel and very entertaining. Hopefully, the third one properly rounds up the trilogy and not end up like the disastrous 'X-Men'.
