hey guys, you've prolly already answered this question, but i'm just gunna ask it anyways 🙂 How can it be possible for Bootstrap Bill to be dead? If he removed a piece of the treasure (unless he didn't acutally take a piece himself) he wouldn't be able to die. But i assumed that he took a piece since he gave it away to Will. So ya....could you help me out a bit here? Cuz otherwise shouldn't Bill be walking around on the bottom of the ocean or something?
The writers answer this in their commentary on the dvd and Pintel also tells us when he says:
The last we saw of ol’ Bill Turner , he was sinking to the crushing black oblivion of Davy Jones’ Locker
Bootstrap did take a coin, and he was cursed. But the pressure of the ocean would do the trick really. He would literally be crushed. The writers say in their commentary that he would just be a "really thin puddle"
Hope i make sense there...
hmm.....well, first off, thanx for answering my question CaptainSparrow! And your answer makes sense, i thought of that myself too....but like mmmmmm ob🙂 said, i started thinking about them walking on the bottom of the ocean, and kinda second guessed myself. But I suppose its kinda like when Will is dueling in the cave, and he sticks that bomb inside one of the bad guys and pushes him out of the moonlight.....we can assume they died right?...

huh....but the others were walking on the bottom of the water?
i don't understand quite what you are saying....anyway.....will's dad would be able to undo the bootstraps as he was going down....and so he would be able 2 get free....
They were walking at the bottom of the water, yes. But the depth of the water wouldn't have been the same. The pirates will have thrown Bootstrap overboard in the middle of the ocean, whereas the underwater scene was near shore.
And about him getting free...maybe they tied his hands behind his back or something? That would be quite difficult to escape from.

he never cut his hand😑😑
I've watched the movie quite a few times now, and even watched that scene in slow motion, and if you watch closely, you can see that it is indeed Captain Jack Sparrow's hand. You see, he had to slice his hand, because as Barbossa had said "Who's blood has been paid???" Pirates shout: "OURS!" Barbossa: "And who's blood is yet to be paid???" Pirates: "HERS!" So I'm guessing that every pirate who took a coin from the chest (including Bootstrap Bill, because that's the whole plot of the movie...) had to spill some of their blood to lift the curse. And Jack took one...soo....
Sorry if this is getting old... I was just wondering why he did it. And now I think I have it figured out, but if anyone else has a reason why he did it, post it please.
Thanks! 🙂

lol, yeah, it would be kinda hard to move when your body was in pieces! So, are you saying that bootstrap bill would have been alive all the way up to the time when the curse was finally lifted....he was just in a thousand pieces under the sea?

Each person that took a coin from the chest, had to put the coin back...along with their blood, so that their curse could be removed.
I am pretty certain that we see Jack cut his hand. I never thought anything different to that.
So, Jack cuts his hand in order to remove his curse when the coin is placed back in the chest, and Will also cuts his hand to complete the ritual, 'cos his dad's blood never got returned.
i found a misteak in the film. Know the way Captin BarBossa says he cant feel nothing the wind in his face or the warmth of a womens face how come when Mrs Swan was walking the plank she takes the dress of and throws it at captin BarBossa he puts it to his face and says its still warm but he cant feel that cause hes cursed. huge Misteak there 👿
