But given the fact that the Pirates of the Caribbean series seems to be set somewhere around the mid-1700s, it is nonetheless notable that this sailor quotes the now-famous sailing maxim. It’s most likely an unintentional reference, as few viewers (and potentially few screenwriters) are likely to know how recent the phrase’s origins are.
However, during the action of the first Pirates of the Caribbean sequel, 2006’s Dead Man’s Chest, one crew member of the Flying Dutchman notes that “ the captain goes down with his ship.” The throwaway line occurs during one of the movie’s many action sequences, but whether it was intentional or otherwise, the comment is a reference to an adage made famous by the real-life captain of the Titanic, Edward Smith. One thing none of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies can boast is much in the way of historical accuracy (although the series does make an admirable stab at depicting the rise of the East India Company, octopus-faced Davy Jones notwithstanding).

But Curse of the Black Pearl defied odds and ended up winning a rare combination of audience approval and critical acclaim, with the first Pirates of the Caribbean becoming an instant classic that introduced audiences to Johnny Depp’s most iconic role as Captain Jack Sparrow.
