* The scene of pirates walking along the seabed with an air-filled upside-down boat held over them is based on an incident in ''The Crimson Pirate'', a 1952 pirate flick with a similar tongue-in-cheek attitude.

** A. C. Crispin's prequel novel ''The Price of Freedom'' sees Don Rafael of the Brethren Court mentioning a recent reunion with a long-missing "James", who seemingly hasn't aged a day since his disappearance many years ago and in the intervening time has lost a hand (which he replaced with a hook) and gained a mortal terror of little boys.

* In the fourth film, Blackbeard remarks on how he has to [[YouHaveFailedMe shoot one of his own crew]] every so often, so they don't forget who he is. This line was also used in the Creator/TimPowers ''Literature/OnStrangerTides'' novel, but is allegedly (according to the 18th-century book ''A General History of the Pyrates'' by "Captain Charles Johnson") a real-life quote from Blackbeard, after he shot Israel Hands (a RealLife crew member whose name Stevenson stole for ''Treasure Island'') in the leg for [[AxeCrazy no apparent reason]].

to:

* In ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'''s very first scene, Governor Swann's costume looks exactly like Captain Hook's. Also, in the final fight, Jack cuts off some of the feathers on Barbossa's hat, just like Peter does to Hook.

* The first film contains numerous highly specific Shout Outs to [[TheThemeParkVersion the theme park ride]] on which the film is loosely based. These persist almost throughout the entire series, though never as frequently as in the first--one such example is the declaration of "It be too late to alter course now!" at the climax of ''At World's End''.

* The first film contains numerous highly specific Shout Outs to [[TheThemeParkVersion the theme park ride]] on which the film is loosely based.
* The ending of ''Dead Man's Chest'' has Will rowing in a coffin to a skull-shaped hut in a swamp, in a scene that's an almost exact duplicate of a scene in ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland'', although the writers [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial insist they've never heard of it]].
* There are a number of references to ''Literature/TreasureIsland'', including:
** Depp's role as the JerkWithAHeartOfGold mentor.
** The setup where the new captain of the pirate ship keeps a pet [[WeNamedTheMonkeyJack named after the captain he mutinied against]]. Are we talking about Barbossa and his monkey named "Jack", or Long John Silver and his parrot "Cap'n Flint"?
** In ''On Stranger Tides'', the reason Blackbeard seeks the fountain is because he receives a warning about a one legged-man, in this case Barbossa.
* The PowerWalk scene from the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQy15VtPb50]] is a ShoutOut to Creator/SergioLeone westerns, complete with a SuspiciouslySimilarSong [[EnioMorriconePastiche "honoring"]] Music/EnnioMorricone's music and a close up on The Good, The Bad... and The Ugly (Davy Jones, who [[AsideGlance winks at the camera]]).
** Jack's run was said to be inspired by our TBPJMR.
** The Mexican standoff could be a reference.
* The musical locket owned by the villain (Jones) with an identical one owned by a good guy with a history with the villain ([[spoiler:Tia Dalma, aka Calypso]])? Straight from ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore'', though the relationship between the corresponding characters is quite different.
* The scene in the first movie, with the upper class lady getting rid of the alcohol after the lower-class wild man got drunk and started singing the previous night while they're stranded together? Yeah, [[Film/TheAfricanQueen happened in more than just this movie.]]
* In AWE, one of the Boats Of Deceased Souls contains two identical, stoic-faced little girls- rather reminiscent of the CreepyTwins in ''Film/TheShining''.
* Sparrow's ad-libbed "And then they made me their chief" was a running gag OrphanedPunchline from ''Series/TheFastShow'', of which Depp is a fan.
* In the fourth film, Blackbeard remarks on how he has to [[YouHaveFailedMe shoot one of his own crew]] every so often, so they don't forget who he is. This line was also used in the Creator/TimPowers ''Literature/OnStrangerTides'' novel, but is allegedly (according to the 18th-century book ''A General History of the Pyrates'' by "Captain Charles Johnson") a real-life quote from Blackbeard, after he shot Israel Hands (a RealLife crew member whose name Stevenson stole for ''Treasure Island'') in the leg for [[AxeCrazy no apparent reason]].
* At the end of ''On Stranger Tides'', Jack quips to Mr. Gibbs 'It's a pirate's life for me, mate', like the song that plays in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
* In a scene in ''Stranger Tides'', Jack and Angelica threaten each other with [[PeterPan meat hooks.]]
* In ''On Stranger Tides'', [[spoiler:when [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent Syrena]]'s glass coffin breaks, she is forced to walk on land. Her tail changes to legs, and every step causes her agonizing pain. These details are obviously borrowed from [[Literature/TheLittleMermaid Andersen's fairy tale]].]]
* The climax of ''On Stranger Tides'' evokes recollection of a dilemma from [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade another adventure film.]]
* The Fountain of Youth looks suspiciously like the [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Guardian of Forever]], surrounding scenery (and fog!) included.
* The scene of pirates walking along the seabed with an air-filled upside-down boat held over them is based on an incident in ''The Crimson Pirate'', a 1952 pirate flick with a similar tongue-in-cheek attitude.
* Beckett's world map painted on a wall recalls the opening of ''Film/TheSeaHawk'', an Errol Flynn movie also featuring a monkey sidekick.
* Literature/PeterPan in ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'': In the very first scene, Governor Swann's costume looks exactly like Captain Hook. Also, in the final fight, Jack cuts off some of the feathers on Barbossa's hat, just like Peter does to Hook.
* Literature/SnowWhite in ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'': When Elizabeth refuses Barbossa's apple, believing it's poisoned.
