Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

Note: The number at the beginning of each section refers to how much explicit content of that kind there is in the film on a scale of 1-10. The fraction at the end of the last section is the total sum of the sections over the highest sum possible (50) and is therefore an approximation of about how explicit the film is a whole.

Sex & Nudity: 3

In the beginning, a woman is asked to drop her weapons. She takes several different guns, bombs, etc. off of her, and it appears that she pulls one gun from out of her buttocks. We do not see it clearly, however. In the same scene, but later, two men are under the wood flooring. The woman is not wearing any underwear, and one of the men sees up her dress. He gesters to the other man to come and see, but the woman has moved, and a man (with no underwear) is in her place. The other man is disgusted by what he sees.

It is implied that a man and woman made love on a beach (possibly to conceive a child), because the man is shown putting his boots back on. He says, "I'll need the other one.", and a womans leg appears in the scene, with the boot on. The man kisses her bare knee and thigh before taking the boot. There is passionate kissing before the man leaves, but nothing explicit.

Jack walks along with two busty women (presumably prostitutes who show a lot of cleavage). A great deal of boat-related innuendo flies between them, with Jack saying they won't be disappointed, but one woman then saying it's not very big. He then says she's looking at a dingy, adding that his ship is much bigger, etc. The two women then get into a scuffle over which will be the first to ride it (more innuendo).

The goddess Calypso is seen naked in a non-sexual context. Her breasts and pubic area are well-concealed by coils of rope.

Violence & Gore

Violence & Gore: 7

It has to be understood that this is a Disney film. However, the effects and scenes are very realistic.

Pirates have sea-creature features (some more than others): one has an octopus for a head, with many tentacles and translucent flesh, one has a hammerhead shark head with pointy shark teeth, one has an eel head, one has lobster claws for hands, one has spiny crab legs on its back, and one has a puffer fish face with pointy tines; other pirates are shown to be "a part of a ship" so that they speak and move but they are incorporated into the body of the ship -- they can and do pull themselves away (with loud crunches and sometimes leaving pieces behind) but cannot leave the ship.

After an explosion a man is pushed against a ship wall and impaled with a large piece of wood (we see him on the floor with the blood-stained wood sticking out of his abdomen and we see him die).

A man is run through with a sword (we see the point push out his back, he collapses to the floor and dies).

A man's hand is shot off and the hand and a chest he was holding fall to the deck of a ship.

A man is shot through the shoulder (we see a bit of blood on the wound).

A sea-creature pirate forces his tentacles into the nose, ears and mouth of a man killing him (we hear squishing and a crunch). A sea-creature pirate that has the head of an eel attacks a man, and we see the man's head going into the mouth of the eel.

A dead man is strapped to a barrel, is pulled out of the water and we see his very bloody back where birds have apparently pecked at him (we see another body floating on a barrel in the distance with many birds flying around and standing on him).

We see a dead man lying in a pool of water, and when he is turned over we see a large spike in his mouth and sticking out the top of his head.

A man stands over a woman who's lying on the ground and shoots her (we see her feet twitch).

A man is stabbed in the heart and lies dying on the deck of a ship. A man holds a bloody still-beating heart in his hand and a dagger in the other, and he stabs the heart.

A man holds a shrunken head, presumably of another man's mother.

Many soldiers push their way into a room, and a fight breaks out: we see several people run through with swords, a woman is shot in the head (we see the bloody hole), some kick and punch each other, and an explosive device blows up.

A large fight involves many soldiers and sea-creature pirates, and it includes a lot of swordplay with slashing and stabbing. A man punches another man, a gun is shot and a fight breaks out with many people punching and kicking each other.

A man and a sea-creature pirate fight with swords and the man cuts a few tentacles off the pirate. We see a blood-covered, still-beating heart in a box.

A man with a dagger stands over a dead man and it is implied that he cuts out his heart (we see the man with a large, jagged scar on his chest later).

A man who has grown into the side of a ship pulls himself away and his brain is exposed (it wobbles around like Jell-O); then the man holds the brain in his hand and licks it.

Several men are shown writhing and bloody after a cannon blast.

A monkey is shot out of a cannon and we see it with small flames on its back and body before it strikes a creature (the monkey is fine).

A man shoots a gun and is thrown back into a hole from the recoil.

A large pirate ship opens fire on other ships, and we see large holes in the hulls of ships, and men are thrown overboard.

A ship falls over what's supposed to be the "end of the world" and people on board struggle to hang onto something (we see a few fall off and into the abyss but we then see them washing up on the shore of a seemingly deserted island).

A bomb explodes throwing many soldiers off a pier and into water. A pyrotechnic device is lit, it flies across a crowded dock, and it strikes a building where there are other fireworks and causes a large explosion.

Two ships sail into a maelstrom, they circle around each other and fire cannons at each other; people on one ship run back and forth across causing the ship to tip over and in the process one man falls overboard and another falls and is caught by some netting but is then crushed by a cannon when it falls on him (we do not see him being crushed).

Two ships surround another ship and open fire on it, we see the ship being splintered, people are thrown overboard, people are pinned under rubble and one man is engulfed in flames when the ship explodes (we see his body land in a flag in the water).

We see many ships in flames after a pirate attack. A large ship fires on another ship repeatedly and a man throws himself from one ship to the other.

A sea creature pirate grabs a woman around the throat with his large lobster claw.

A severed tentacle slithers across the deck of a ship.

People on a ship that has sailed into a very cold place are covered with frost and they quiver; one man touches his foot, which is frozen solid, and snaps off his big toe (we see the toe separate and he holds it in his hand).

A woman holds a man's hand and it withers and decays (it returns to normal when she releases him).

While hallucinating, a man shoots another man, a man stabs another man (we see the sword run him through and hear a crunch, but no blood is visible).

An eel sea creature pirate tries to eat a man, who slashes its head off (we see the head separate, but no blood is visible).

Several people hold each other at gunpoint, they pull their triggers and the guns spit water; one man strikes another on the head with a gun and the man complains about the blow hurting.

A man is punched hard in the stomach, a man punches another man hard in the face, and a man is struck in the head with a shovel and lies on the ground unconscious.

A man pushes a woman against a pole and kisses her forcefully. She bites him and he pulls away (no blood is shown).

Two women fight with shoving and slapping over a man. Two women slap a man in the face, and the man slaps another man in the face.

Several men hold others at gun and bayonet point. Several people in several scenes are held with daggers or swords to their throats.

A woman in a small boat is threatened by three men. She grabs one and holds a knife to his throat.

Many people on a capsized ship dangle from rigging while under water, they gag and cough when the water washes away from them and they then get back to the surface.

Two men in a rowboat are overturned when struck by a large wave (they are OK).

A woman is told to take off her weapons and she has many guns and an explosive device.

People talk about shooting a man and cutting out his tongue.

We hear that a woman killed a man.

A man talks about people knowing that they face execution.

An enormous sea creature lies dead on the shore (a couple of men climb on it and poke it).

We see several men in a bathhouse that appear to have growths on their skin, while others are heavily tattooed.

A man picks up a wooden eye, puts it in his mouth, takes it out, pushes it into another man's empty eye socket (we hear a squish) and then taps him on the back of the head to straighten it.

A man with a cleaver beheads fish.

Profanity

Profanity: 2

1 hell.

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: 2

Jack imagines interacting with other duplicate versions of himself, with one asking about port (meaning sailing), and Jack saying he prefers rum. The other mentions port as in sailing, where you can get rum and assorted wenches.

Frightening/Intense Scenes: 5

The appearance of various monstrous type characters, including Davy Jones with his heavily tentacled face, might be frightening for some younger viewers.

A main character is stabbed through with a sword, and is dying. In order to save him, his heart is taken out to be put in the wooden chest. This scene is very intense, however, as his lover is by his side and we feel her emotions.

MAJOR SPOILER: At the VERY end of the film (after the credits), we see Elizabeth wait on the shore with her son. They are waiting for Will, and we see him on the ship. This scene is very intense and very joyful. Make sure that you watch the whole movie before going to this scene.

An idea of how accurate the TECE (below) is: 5-10 is a little-kid suitable, G-Rated type of film (i.e. Care Bears, Sleeping Beauty); 10-15 is going to be a little harsher, but not by much (i.e. The Incredibles); 15-20 could be pretty high up there (i.e. THIS), 20-25 is going to pretty darn adult (i.e. The Dark Knight); 25-30 is going to be a film most likely not suitable for anyone under 17 (i.e. Braveheart); 30-40 is going to be an absolutely, positively adults-only film (i.e. Saving Private Ryan) and if a movie has ever gone past 40, then I haven't heard of it.

Total Explicit Content Estimation: 19/50.
