* Played with in Disney's 1954 ''Film/TwentyThousandLeaguesUnderTheSea''. During the extended diving scene, Ned Land and Conseil find a chest full of treasure in a sunken ship and try to take it before they are almost attacked by a shark. When Ned complains about it afterward Nemo angrily tells him that the purpose of the dive was to collect ''food'', and then proceeds to reveal that he does in fact collect treasure... because he uses it for ballasts.
* ''Film/BattleBeyondTheStars''. Although he's a ProfessionalKiller rather than a pirate, we're introduced to Gelt sitting on a luxurious throne surrounded by overflowing chests of jewels. The irony is that he's living in poverty, as he can't risk going to a civilized planet to spend his wealth, [[ThePerilsOfBeingTheBest having made so many enemies]].
