* Will throws a sword at Jack; it pins in the door next to his face and Jack's eyes widen. You can just see him thinking. "''I almost died.''"
** Weaponless Will pulls a hot iron out of the fire to fight. The donkey lets out a little moan and tries to walk away because Jack had prodded the poor creature with the hot iron.
* During Elizabeth's kidnapping, a cannon-ball comes flying through the window and hits a poor unfortunate soul, knocking him through a door (and down a set of stairs that can be briefly seen ''behind'' the door). Elizabeth, Pintel and Ragetti just ''stare'' as it flies past them.



* During the final battle on Isla de Muerta, Will and Elizabeth skewer three undead pirates together, stuff a lit bomb into the middle one's empty ribcage, then push the three out of the moonlight, effectively trapping the bomb within the pirate's newly reformed flesh. The unfortunate fellow's "No fair!", followed by the ensuing explosion, was magnificent.

* When Jack arrives at the treasure cave as Barbossa prepares to kill Will, the pirates are cheering. Then they slowly fall into silence as Jack (who Barbossa dumped on a desert island to die just the previous day) politely pushes his way to the front, and Barbossa is left staring.
-->'''Barbossa:''' It's not possible! \\
'''Jack:''' Not ''probable''.
** When Jack tells Barbossa he doesn't want to kill Will and then mutters "your funeral" and steps back, Barbossa rolls his eyes before asking what he means. It's an expression that says "I know I'm going to regret asking, but I have to"
** Before Jack starts to explain he slaps the hand of a pirate holding his shoulder.
** Jack convinces Barbossa to ally with him by promising to give him twenty-five percent of his plunder. (And a really big hat.) It seems to be the thought of a really big hat that wins Barbossa over.
