Trivia:

The character, Tai Huang, the leader of Captain Sao Feng's crew was played by actor Reggie Lee. Lee was earlier seen as "Headless", the cone-shell headed member of Davy Jones' crew in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) - best remembered as the pirate/creature whose head is knocked off by a coconut thrown by Jack Sparrow, after which the decapitated head tries to direct its body around by telling it which way to look. Headless makes a short appearance in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) during the Maelstrom battle scene; Jack shoots the chest out of Davy Jones' hand. The chest then falls on Headless's head, and he stumbles backwards and falls overboard. This places both of Reggie Lee's characters on two different ships that are both present at the final battle.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the scene where Captain Jack Sparrow is on the Black Pearl in Davy Jones Locker, his right hand has several large scratches. But a few minutes later when Barbosa leads the crew to Jacks rescue, those scratches are gone.

Fitting Finale

Just finished viewing a private screening of the final chapter of the Pirates of the Caribbean and can confirm it does not disappoint.

The original is still the best but 'At World's End' completes the trilogy on a high note.

Johnny Depp continues to shine as Captain Jack and Chow Yun Fat makes a huge impact as Captain Sao Feng. Academy Award winner Geoffrey Rush returns as Barbossa and his exclusion from most of the 2nd movie was the reason it was my least favorite out of the whole trilogy. Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom complete the All-star class and do an OK job as their respective characters.

The whole film build up to the final battle which is one of the finest since the Lord of the Rings.

If your a Pirates of the Carribbean Fan, this one is not to be missed.

8/10
