Parents guide

A brief moment - an evil captain throws a girl toward his crew to make her his prisoner. He menacingly says that she should show them the same hospitality that he did before. Then the crew members start touching and groping her menacingly - some tug at her clothes. This is stopped soon though

William and Elizabeth share a kiss. Will touches the pirate medallion pendant on her necklace, which is hanging low and close to her bosom.

Elizabeth wears a white dress that gets wet, and her nipples and the outline of her breasts can be seen vaguely. On the Black Pearl, two female statues are shown beside the captain's quarters with visible breasts without nipples. Considered slightly nude.

A man removes a young woman's corset in an effort to help her breathe as she is lying unconscious after being underwater. A bunch of men walk up to him, and one officer points a sword at him, believing him to have attempted to take advantage of the woman. Another man orders to shoot the man who removed the corset, but the woman (now conscious) explains that the man saved her life.

A pirate facetiously suggests that young woman may have a rudder and a lot of sails hidden in her "bodice."

A pirate says that he and his crew sought out "pleasurable company" but that it cannot "slake our lust" due to them being cursed.

Dresses reveal cleavage.

During a sword fight with Will, Jack suggests that Will found a love interest and is "unable to woo said strumpet" and then asks him if he is a eunuch. "Strumpet" is a dated term for a female prostitute and "eunuch" refers to a castrated man.

Two men tell a girl she will be forced to dine naked with the crew, if she refuses to wear the dress that Barbossa instructed her to wear for dinner. The crew expresses disappointment when she says she'll dine with Barbossa.

Elizabeth is told to take her dress off (although she is wearing a tight dress underneath so she is not naked). The man makes a remark about the dress still being "warm" and pirates whistle at her.

Near the beginning, when pirates raid Port Royal, there is a massive fight, including slashings, stabbings, and shootings. These are fairly violent and intense.

Barbossa shoots one of his crew to see if they are still cursed.

A pirate spurs on a donkey with a hot iron, as the animal audibly reacts in pain. Later, a blacksmith employs the same hot iron in a sword fight with the pirate.

Elizabeth is slapped by a pirate while parleying with Barbossa.

Action/Adventure violence and very mild blood

In an early scene, we see men turn into gruesome, decaying skeletons when hit by the moonlight.

Multiple scenes involving pirates sword fighting and gunfire, with some individuals that are stabbed or shot (non-graphic).

A man is shot in the chest and blood soaks his shirt then he falls over dead.

Dead pirate corpses are seen hung by nooses. (no blood)

A tomahawk axe digs into a pirate's back, but no blood is shown when retrieved.

Some mild language.

Rated PG-13 for violence (V), adult language (AL), and adult content (AC).

1 "shit",1 "bastard", 1 "damn", 2 "damned", 4 "Hell", 1"Scum"' 2 " 5 "bloody" and some (rather dated) name-callings and insults such as "eunuch" (used twice), "strumpet", "scum" and "cur".

Note: "bloody" is considered (mildly) vulgar in the UK.

Some drinking. Characters are shown drunk.

Jack was drinking beer in a scene. Elizabeth drinks wine with Captain Barbossa.

Lots of rum use

There is talk of rum runners, and Jack opens a compartment on an island filled with bottles of rum. Elizabeth comments on his last stay on the island consisting of lying on the beach and drinking rum and he replies, "Welcome to the Caribbean, love." We later see him and Elizabeth singing and dancing around a campfire. Both appear drunk, but it is only a pretense with her. Jack drinks some more, with him guzzling rum down and then passing out. When he wakes up the next morning, she is burning the rum as a rescue signal.

The scene where Elizabeth first sees Barbossa and his crew as undead skeletons (which are apparently their true form) is rather creepy, and their appearance is very gnarly. This scene could be frightening to some who do not take horror elements well.

In an early scene, Jack Sparrow sees some corpses on nooses implied to be from pirates that were executed by hanging and put there as a warning to other pirates.

A character is trapped in the hull of a ship as water steadily rises and he calls desperately for help.

The film is intended for people 13 over due to violence and alcohol use.

Some Scary Moments

There are visuals that show various sights of pirates that turn (completely or partially) into living skeletons (and partially decomposed bodies) when moonlight hits them.

Hanged corpses are seen multiple times.

There is a very intense scene where pirates raid a village and kill people, and at one point you see a structure collapse on a little boy. The mom saves the boy just in time, though.
