he never REALLY died. when he was sent down with the cannon, he was trapped under water. he was stuck under water with no way to die because of the curse. so i guess he just got bored underwater and that's when he sold his soul to jones. 😄

I never actually realised that..thanks for clearing it up 🙂

thankyou lovelyone....that makes me feel better

Its ok 🙂

It happens to me all the time lol. I see something in a film and dont understand what is exactly going on no matter how much i watch it. People always explain things to me. I can see how that scene could confuse people. The only reason I knew they had trapped an air bubble was because I had seen a movie where someone had done it before. I was like huh? you can trap air bubbles like that under water?

well ... actually, im not sure that you can...

i mean, film-makers lisence and all that, but the two guys would have to put a lot more effort into holding down the boat than they appear to in the film cos bubble rise right??, and in reality the weight of the water pushing down on the boat would mean that they are also holding up all the water that is above the boat not just the boat itself ... almost physically impossible for two men - although i'm sure there are some people out there who can do it.

Oh well. In a movie where there is an undead cursed monkey I dont think factually impossible things really matter...we can blame every factual error on "Magic" or a "curse" lol 😉
