After the surprise success of the Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Director Gore Verbinski and the entire cast of the first film returned for the first sequel, Dead Man’s Chest. The decade and-a-half old production provided tons of wild stunts, pioneering practical and visual effects, and a bunch of unforeseen challenges and setbacks.

Returning stars Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Jack Davenport, and Jack Sparrow himself, Johnny Depp, give candid sound bites about all aspects of the shoot, as well as provide hilarious bloopers. Orlando Bloom went for a spin in a big wheel and a bone cage, and Keira Knightley was able to flex her skills with a sword for the first time in the franchise. Cast newcomer Bill Nighy is also featured for his work portraying the villainous big bad and seafaring legend, Davy Jones.

John Knoll and his team at Industrial Light & Magic get the spotlight as well when the break down the Davy Jones cgi, and their groundbreaking approach to motion capture when it came to bringing the tentacle-faced Flying Dutchman captain to the screen. Special effects played a big role in other parts of the production too, most notably with Davy Jones’ terrifying pet, the Kraken. With the combination of real effects they performed on set and the work the VFX team did in postproduction, the crew was able to have the monster interact with people on the ship, and even take down an entire ship.
