Sex & Nudity

  • Women wear low cut dresses
  • There's a scene where one of the protagonists is in a jail cell, a group of men in the next cell put their hands through the bars and make cat calling noises, however Elizabeth is on the other side of the cell, the men never stated their intent but from their body language and noises it's implied that their desires were not wholesome.
  • No nudity is shown throughout the film.
  • Jack and the crew end up on an island with tribal inhabitants at one point in the movie. The people and wear next to nothing. There is no nudity (private parts), although lots of skin is shown and several men wear loincloth looking material. There are a few female tribe members with cleavage showing, but mostly male.
  • After Elizabeth's wedding dress is found on deck, one of the sailors assumes that it belonged to a virgin who lost her would-be husband and became a ghost, which is objected by the captain, who tells the crew that what the dress means is that there is a stowaway aboard, a young woman who is "probably naked."
  • The word "know" is used as an innuendo when a woman asks a man if he wants to know her. Another man interjects, "There'll be no knowing here."

Violence & Gore

  • A sailor whips several other sailors onscreen.
  • The first scene is very intense throughout the whole scene.
  • An undead pirate has his head knocked off by a coconut. This is mostly played for laughs.
  • The Kraken suddenly consumes a ship with two Turkish merchants on board.
  • A man has his eye bit and ripped out by a crow. Very brief and easy to miss but graphic
  • A man is attacked by many birds while in a cage.
  • We see a man almost to be hanged but doesn't happen.
  • Jack Sparrow shoots a black bird with a gun.
  • After a character sees the two dead men a sea-like creature comes after him The character slashes at the creature, cutting it. Green gooey guts and things that the creature ate come out. There is no blood shown, just green goo.
  • A man is hit by a huge wave hitting him across a room.
  • It is implied that man was killed in a past war.
  • A man stabs another man with a sword.
  • A man is forced to whip his own son five times and the son's bloody back is shown briefly.
  • When Jack Sparrow is on the island, he washes up on it with some blood on him.
  • Davy Jones' heart is shown, but it is not as bad as you would think. (Not bloody) It's just like a normal heart.
  • There is a lot of shooting, and fighting. Most of the time no blood is not seen.
  • There is a scene where a character is whipped (offscreen) as punishment, we hear lashing sounds and the resultant wounds for a split second afterwards.

Profanity

  • 1 "damn you", 1 "ass", 7 "bugger", 1 "bloody".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • It is not specified whether or not Captain Jack Sparrow is drunk throughout the entire film, but he constantly acts strange and tends to ramble on about things to himself.
  • Commodore James Norrington becomes an alcoholic after chasing pirates ruined his life. He is constantly in disarray and at one point causes a fight in a bar.
  • Jack holds up an empty bottle and wonders why the rum is always gone. When he goes looking for some, he runs into the barnacled-covered Bootstrap Bill and wonders if this is a dream, but then says it isn't as there'd be rum. Bootstrap Bill then offers him some and Jack has to pry the encrusted bottle from his crusty hand. Bootstrap Bill then has some as well. Davy Jones smokes a pipe in one scene. Jack and others usually shown tipsy.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Any given scene with the Kraken will be intense, as it appears very suddenly and wreaks havoc.
  • Similarly, the appearance of some of the ghostly and/or monstrous characters, including Davy Jones (and his tentacle-covered face and large crab claw "hand"), his minions (in various stages of fish or crustacean transformation), Bootstrap Bill (with barnacles on his face) and the Kraken may be unsettling or scary to younger kids.

Violence & Gore

  • Jack and the Pearl are destroyed by the kraken.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The first scene is VERY scary, several pirates are seen being excecuted by being locked in cages and eaten by birds. It is only brief but there is a descent amount of gore and screaming from the pirates.
  • There is a scene aboard a ship where a father and son are punished, the son's punishment is to be whipped and the the father's punishment is to do the whipping, although he does it out of kindness and to avoid a more severe beating from one of the other sailors. We only see their reactions and hear lashing sounds, and one very brief glimpse of the resultant wounds. The captain of the ship seems to enjoy the act. This scene can be unsettling and hard to watch
