'''As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked [[Administrivia/SpoilersOff as per policy.]] Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.'''

** "Someone make note of that man's bravery."

* [[spoiler:Groves']] death near the end.

* The whole of [[spoiler:Philip and Syrena's]] subplot.
* In the end, when [[spoiler:Jack leaves Angelica on an island. Take into consideration that Gibbs had Jack admit that he has feelings for Angelica (and note, "feelings" is what Jack could barely manage to say, when "love" was the word he ''intended'' to say). Throughout the film ever since he met her again, Jack's been doing his darndest to keep Angelica safe. Then he saves her life, and now he has no choice but to put as much distance between them because she'll be wanting to get revenge for his hand in her father's death. BeingGoodSucks indeed for ol' Cap'n Jack.]]
* [[spoiler: One-legged Barbossa]] resulted in a bit of [[FridgeHorror Fridge Grief]]. [[spoiler: Old Hector's]] getting older, which means so is everyone else. The {{End Of An Age}} threatened in ''At World's End'' seems to be creeping ever closer.
** [[spoiler: His "I'm the master of my own fate" line becomes HarsherInHindsight in light of his HeroicSacrifice in ''Dead Men Tell No Tales.'' Barbossa wished to die by his own terms, not someone else's-and he did so, sacrificing himself to save his daughter.]]
* Barbossa's voice and expressions of horror while telling Jack about how [[spoiler:the ''Black Pearl'']] had turned against them is surprisingly painful to watch. And it might've been someone's imagination, but when he says, "So I did what needed done," his voice has an edge to it like he's near shedding tears.

* A TearJerker moment, but for a good reason: Jack and Barbossa have stopped trying to kill each other, Jack gets the ''Pearl'' back (even if it is tiny and in a bottle) and Barbossa obtains the ''Queen Anne's Revenge''. He and Jack, ''finally'', have put things aside and are on equal footing, ruling the seas as Pirates. For how long, yet remains to be seen.
