(Redirected from Captain Jack Sparrow)
'Jack Sparrow' is a fictional character in the ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' universe. He was introduced in '' (2003) and appeared in the back-to-back sequels, '' (2006) and '' (2007), where he was played by Johnny Depp. He is also the subject of a chronicling his adolescent years, and his character's image was introduced into the revamped theme park ride that inspired the films, both in 2006. The character has also appeared in numerous video games.
Sparrow is the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea and enjoys the freedom that his occupation provides, drinking rum, seducing women, and searching for supernatural treasures. Although he can be treacherous, Sparrow survives mostly by using wit and negotiation rather than weapons and force. He prefers to flee dangerous situations, but will fight if necessary. Sparrow is introduced as seeking to regain his ship the ''Black Pearl'' from his mutinous first mate Hector Barbossa, and throughout the sequels, attempts to escape his blood debt to the mythical Davy Jones and battles the East India Trading Company. Despite his roguish and cowardly nature, he is nonetheless an honorable and likeable character.
Initially, Sparrow was conceived for the first film as a trickster who guides the hero, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), but Johnny Depp's performance changed that concept. His eccentric characterization, partially inspired by Pepe LePew and Keith Richards, turned Sparrow into the breakout character and earned Depp his first Academy Award nomination. Sparrow became an iconic anti-hero, and in a case of life-imitates-art, Richards played a cameo role as Sparrow's father in the third film.
Jack Sparrow first appears in '' (2003), where he arrives in Port Royal in a sinking boat, looking to commandeer a ship. Despite rescuing Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), the daughter of Governor Weatherby (Jonathan Pryce) from drowning, he is jailed for piracy. That night, the ghost ship, the ''Black Pearl'' attacks Port Royal and kidnaps Elizabeth, who Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) believes can break an ancient Aztec curse he and the crew are under. Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), a blacksmith who loves Elizabeth, frees Sparrow to help him rescue her. They hijack the HMS ''Interceptor'' and acquire a crew in Tortuga before heading to Isla de Muerta, where Elizabeth is captive. They are quickly captured, and Barbossa maroons Sparrow and Elizabeth on a tiny island, the same island Sparrow, the ''Black Pearl's'' former captain, was marooned on when Barbossa and the crew mutinied, leaving him a pistol and only one shot. The island was used by rum-runners, which allowed Sparrow to bargain passage off, although, over the years, a tall tale evolves that he escaped on two sea turtles he lashed together.[1]
Jack and Elizabeth are rescued by the British Royal Navy, and Sparrow makes a deal to deliver them the ''Black Pearl''. During the final battle at Isla de Muerta, Sparrow swipes a cursed coin, making himself immortal so he can fight Barbossa. He shoots him with the same shot he has carried for ten years just as Will breaks the curse, killing Barbossa. The Royal Navy captures the surviving pirates, including Sparrow, who is later sentenced to death. At his execution in Port Royal, Will saves him, but they are quickly caught. Governor Swann and Commodore Norrington are reluctant to resume the hanging, however. Will is pardoned, while Sparrow escapes by falling off the sea wall. He is rescued by the ''Black Pearl'' crew, and he is captain once more. Apparently impressed by the clever pirate, Commodore James Norrington (Jack Davenport) allows him one day's head start before giving chase.
In the sequel '' (2006), Sparrow searches for the Dead Man's Chest. Thirteen years prior, Sparrow bartered his soul to Captain Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) to raise the sunken ''Black Pearl'' and make him captain. Now Sparrow must either serve for 100 years aboard the ''Flying Dutchman'', or be taken by the Kraken to Davy Jones' Locker. Sparrow learns the Dead Man's Chest contains Jones' heart—stabbing it will kill Jones and free Sparrow from his blood debt. Adding to Jack's woes, Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander) of the East India Trading Company wants to settle his own debt with Sparrow and forces Will Turner to search for him. Will finds Sparrow and his crew hiding from the Kraken on Pelegosto where they have been captured by cannibals. They escape, but Sparrow betrays Will to Davy Jones as part of a new deal to deliver 100 souls in exchange for his own. Sparrow recruits sailors in Tortuga where he unexpectedly encounters Elizabeth and the disgraced James Norrington. Convincing Elizabeth she can free Will by finding the Chest, they head for Isla Cruces after she pinpoints its location with the compass. Will also arrives, having escaped Jones' ship after stealing the key to the Chest. Will wants to stab the heart and free his father from Jones' servitude, while Norrington hopes to regain his career. Sparrow fears if Jones is dead, the Kraken will continue hunting him. Jones' crew arrives, and during the ensuing battle, Norrington steals the heart. Jones summons the Kraken to attack the ''Black Pearl''. Realizing that the Kraken only wants Sparrow, Elizabeth tricks him and chains him to the mast to save herself and the crew; Sparrow and the ship are dragged to Davy Jones' Locker.[2]
In '' (2007), with Davy Jones' heart now in Beckett's possession, the nine pirate lords of the Brethren Court are summoned to convene at Shipwreck Cove to combat the combined threat of Beckett and Jones. Sparrow, who is the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean, must attend, as he never bequeathed his "piece of eight", a pirate lord's identification marker, to an heir. The collective "pieces" can summon the sea goddess Calypso. A resurrected Barbossa leads Sparrow's crew to Davy Jones' Locker using Chinese pirate Sao Feng's navigational charts. There Sparrow has been hallucinating an entire crew comprised of himself, each representing a facet of his personality. After the crew finds him, Sparrow deciphers a clue on the charts that they must capsize the ''Black Pearl'' to escape the Locker; at sunset, the ship upturns back into the living world. Sparrow and Barbossa arrive at the Brethren Court. Elizabeth, who was traded to Sao Feng, is made a pirate lord by him just before he dies. At the Brethren Court, she is elected "Pirate King" after Sparrow breaks a stalemate (the other lords always voted for themselves). During parley, he is traded for Will, who was captured by Jones and Beckett. The ''Black Pearl'' and the ''Flying Dutchman'' face off in battle during a maelstrom created by Calypso, Sparrow steals Davy Jones' heart to become immortal, but when Jones mortally wounds Will, Sparrow instead helps Will stab the heart, killing Jones and making Will the ''Flying Dutchman's'' new captain. Together, the ''Black Pearl'' and the ''Flying Dutchman'' destroy Beckett's ship. Afterwards, Barbossa again commandeers the ''Black Pearl'' and Feng's charts, stranding Sparrow in Tortuga. Fortunately, Sparrow has already removed the chart's middle, and he sets sail in a small boat, using his compass and the chart to guide him to the Fountain of Youth.[3]
Jack Sparrow first appeared as a playable character in the 2005 video game ''Kingdom Hearts II'', where he was voiced by James Arnold Taylor in the English version and Hiroaki Hirata in the Japanese version. His role in the game is presumably non-canonical with the rest of ''Pirates'' fiction. Sparrow has since appeared in other video games, '' where he was voiced by Johnny Depp, the adaptation of '' and various game versions of '', where he was voiced by Jared Butler. The character is also set to appear in ''Pirates of the Caribbean Online'', which takes place before the films.
Sparrow's backstory in the ''The Complete Visual Guide'' says he was born on a pirate ship during a typhoon in the Indian Ocean. He was trained to fence by an Italian.[4] Rob Kidd wrote an ongoing book series entitled '', following a teenage Sparrow and his crew on the ''Barnacle'' as they battle sirens, mermaids and adult pirates while looking for various treasures. The first book, ''The Coming Storm'', was published on June 1 2006. On the website for '', it is explained that Sparrow once worked for the East India Trading Company and captained the ''Wicked Wench''. When he refused to transport slaves, he was branded a pirate and his ship was ordered sunk by Lord Cutler Beckett, an EITC agent. Sparrow then commissions Davy Jones to raise his ship, which he rechristened the ''Black Pearl''.[5]
According to screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, Sparrow is a trickster who uses wit and deceit to attain his goals.[6] He walks in a slightly drunken swagger, accompanied by slurred speech and flailing hand gestures. Will Turner initially believes Sparrow suffers from heatstroke, but notes later that Sparrow often preplans his actions. Such tactics earned an admiring comment by Lieutenant Groves (Greg Ellis), who asks Cutler Beckett, "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?"
Sparrow usually prefers non-violent negotiations and turning his enemies against each other. He will invoke parley and tempts his enemies away from their murderous mindsets to see the bigger picture, as he does when he persuades Hector Barbossa to delay returning to mortal form to battle the British Royal Navy. He often uses a confusing vocabulary to confound his enemies, and it is suggested that his pacifism may be one reason Barbossa and the ''Black Pearl'' crew mutinied. Barbossa says in the first film, "That's the attitude that cost you the ''Pearl''."
Sparrow seems to have created, or at least contributes to, his own image. When Gibbs tells Will that Sparrow escaped from a desert island by strapping two sea turtles together, the captain embellishes the story by claiming the rope was made from hair off his back. In a script draft of '' Will's guide says that he heard Sparrow escaped execution in Port Royal by grabbing two parrots and flying away.[7] Actor Johnny Depp compared pirates to rock stars in that their fame preceded them, which may help fuel Sparrow's enormous ego. When Barbossa accuses Sparrow of being a coward in front of the Brethren Court, he vigorously defends his reputation. Sparrow also insists on being addressed as "Captain" Jack Sparrow and often gives the farewell, "You will remember this as the day you ''almost'' caught Captain Jack Sparrow," which is sometimes humorously cut off. When Norrington calls him, "the worst pirate I have ever heard of," Sparrow replies, "But you have heard of me." In a deleted scene from ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'' Sparrow ponders being "the immortal Captain Jack Sparrow",[8] and during the third film he seeks immortality, although his father, Captain Teague, warns it can be a terrible curse. Sparrow also ponders being "Captain Jack Sparrow, the last pirate," as the East India Trading Company purges piracy.
Despite his many heroics, Sparrow is a pirate and a morally ambiguous character.[9] When agreeing to trade 100 souls, including Will, to Davy Jones in exchange for his freedom, Jones asks Sparrow whether he can, "condemn an innocent man — a friend — to a lifetime of servitude in your name while you roam free?" Sparrow merely replies, "Yep! I'm good with it!" He carelessly runs up debts with Anamaria, Davy Jones, and the other pirate lords. Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat), pirate lord of Singapore, is particularly hateful towards him. In a cowardly moment, Sparrow abandons his crew during the Kraken's attack, but underlying loyalty and morality compel him to return and save them.[10] Sparrow claims to be a man of his word, and expresses surprise that people doubt his truthfulness. His morality is revealed in his official backstory in which he refused to transport slaves, nor is there murder or rape on his criminal record.
Depp partly based the character on Pepe Le Pew, a womanizing skunk from ''Looney Tunes''. Sparrow claims to have a "tremendous intuitive sense of the female creature", although his conquests are often left with a sour memory of him. Former flames, Scarlett and Giselle, usually slap him or anyone looking for him. His witty charm easily attracts women, and even has Elizabeth Swann questioning her feelings. However, Sparrows says his "first and only love is the sea,", and the ''Black Pearl'' represents freedom. Director Gore Verbinski noted phallic connotations in Sparrow's relationship with his vessel, which is described as "the only ship which can outrun the ''Flying Dutchman''". Because he loves the sea, Davy Jones' Locker is a desert to be Sparrow's personal hell. Sparrow also has bad personal hygiene, another Pepe Le Pew trait. Verbinski described Sparrow's breath as "like a donkey's ass", which Sparrow uses to knock Will off his ship by huffing at him. Lastly, Sparrow has an insatiable thirst for rum, which can confuse his magic compass as to what he wants most. According to his criminal record on the ''At World's End'' website, he even sacked a shipment of rum to quench his thirst.[11]
When writing the screenplay for '', Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio envisioned Jack Sparrow as a supporting character, citing Bugs Bunny and Groucho Marx as influences. The producers saw him as a young Burt Lancaster.[12] Director Gore Verbinski admitted, "The first film was a movie, and then Jack was put into it almost. He doesn't have the obligations of the plot in the same ways that the other characters have. He meanders his way through, and he kind of affects everybody else."[13] Sparrow represents an ethical pirate, with Captain Barbossa as his corrupt foil.[14] His true motives usually remain masked, and whether he is honorable or evil depends on the audience's perspective.[15] This acts as part of Will Turner's arc, in which Sparrow tells him a pirate can be a good man, like his father.
Following the success of ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'', the challenge to creating a sequel was, according to Verbinski, "You don't want just the Jack Sparrow movie. It's like having a garlic milkshake. He's the spice and you need a lot of straight men....Let's not give them too much Jack. It's like too much dessert or too much of a good thing." Although '' was written to propel the trilogy's plot, Sparrow's state-of-mind as he is pursued by Davy Jones becomes increasingly edgy, and the writers concocted the cannibal sequence to show that he was in danger whether on land or sea. Sparrow is also perplexed over his attraction to Elizabeth Swann, and attempts to justify it throughout the film.
'' was meant to return it tonally to a character piece. Sparrow, in particular, is tinged with madness after extended solitary confinement in Davy Jones' Locker,[16] and now desires immortality.[17] Sparrow struggles with what it takes to be a moral person, after his honest streak caused his doom in the second film.[18] By the end of ''At World's End'' Sparrow is sailing to the Fountain of Youth, an early concept for the second film.[8] Rossio has said they may write the screenplay for a fourth film,[20] and producer Jerry Bruckheimer has expressed interest in a spin-off.[21]
Johnny Depp was looking to do a family film in 2001, and was visiting Walt Disney Studios when he heard there were plans to adapt the ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' ride into a film. Depp was excited by the possibility of reviving an old Hollywood genre, and was further delighted that the script met his quirky sensibilities: the crew of the ''Black Pearl'' were not searching for treasure, but were instead trying to return it to lift their curse. In addition, the traditional mutiny had already occurred.[22] Depp was cast on June 10 2002.[23] Producer Jerry Bruckheimer felt Depp was, "an edgy actor who will kind of counter the Disney ''Country Bears'' soft quality and tell an audience that an adult and teenager can go see this and have a good time with it."
At the first read-through, Depp surprised the cast and crew by portraying the character in an off-kilter manner.[24] After researching 18th century pirates, Depp compared them to modern rock stars and decided to base his performance on Keith Richards.[25] Verbinski and Bruckheimer had confidence in Depp, partly because Orlando Bloom would be playing the traditional Errol Flynn-type character. Depp also improvised the film's final line, "Bring me that horizon!", which is the writer's favorite line. Disney executives were initially confused by Depp's performance, asking him whether the character was drunk or gay. Michael Eisner even proclaimed while watching rushes, "He's ruining the film!" Depp responded, "Look, these are the choices I made. You know my work. So either trust me or give me the boot." Many industry insiders also questioned Depp's casting, as he was an unconventional actor not known for working within the traditional studio system.[26]
Depp's performance was highly acclaimed by film critics. Alan Morrison found it, "Gloriously over-the-top... In terms of physical precision and verbal delivery, it's a master-class in comedy acting."[27] Roger Ebert also found his performance, "original in its every atom. There has never been a pirate, or for that matter a human being, like this in any other movie....his behavior shows a lifetime of rehearsal." Ebert also praised Depp for also drawing away from the way the character was written.[28] Although he disliked the film, critic Kenneth Turan enjoyed Depp's performance,[29] but Mark Kermode wrote it was some of Depp's "worst work to date... under [director Gore Verbinski]'s slack direction Depp defaults to an untrammelled showiness not seen since the sub-Buster Keaton antics of ''Benny & Joon''."[30] Depp won a Screen Actor's Guild award for his performance, and was also nominated for a Golden Globe[31] and an Academy Award, the first in his career.[32] Ultimately, the film made Depp a movie star as well as a character actor.[33]
Johnny Depp returned as Jack Sparrow in 2006's '', the first time the actor ever made a sequel. Drew McWeeny noted, "Remember how cool Han Solo was in '' the first time you saw it? And then remember how much cooler he seemed when '' came out? This is that big a jump."[34] Yet, Eric Vespe felt that, "In the first movie he was playing a fool that was hiding a great pirate on the inside and in this one he's a great pirate hiding a cowardly fool."[35] By ''At World's End'' Peter Travers felt it proved, "there can indeed be too much of a good thing."[36] Nonetheless, Depp received an MTV Movie Award[37] and a Teen Choice Award for ''Dead Man's Chest'', and was also nominated for a Golden Globe.[38] Depp has expressed interest in portraying Sparrow for a fourth and fifth film, believing he has yet to explore the full potential of the character.[39]
Johnny Depp wore a wig to portray Sparrow's dreadlocks, an aesthetic influenced by Depp's rock n' roll approach to pirates.[8] In addition to a red bandana Sparrow wears numerous objects in his hair, which was influenced by Keith Richards' habit of collecting souvenirs from his travels,[8] which includes Sparrow's "piece of eight". Sparrow wears kohl around his eyes, which was inspired by Depp's study of nomads who he compared to pirates,[8] and Depp also wore contacts that acted as sunglasses.[43] Sparrow has several gold teeth, two of which belong to Depp,[8] although they were applied during filming. Depp forgot to have them removed after shooting ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'',[45] and decided to keep them throughout shooting of the sequels. Like all aspects of Depp's performance, Disney initially expressed great concern over Depp's teeth. Sparrow wears his goatee in two braids. Initially wire was used in them, but they were abandoned when they stuck up when Depp laid down.[8] Sparrow also has numerous tattoos, and has been branded a pirate on his right arm by Cutler Beckett, underneath a tattoo of a sparrow.
Depp collaborated with costume designer Penny Rose on his character's appearance, handpicking the tricorne as Sparrow's signature leather hat: the other characters in the series could not wear leather hats, to make Sparrow's unique. For the scene when it floats on water in ''Dead Man's Chest'', a rubber version was used.[47] Depp liked to stick to one costume, wearing one lightweight silk tweed coat throughout the series,[8] and he had to be coaxed out of wearing his boots for a version without a sole or heel in beach scenes.[8] None of the costumes from ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'' survived: this allowed tougher linen shirts to be used for stunts,[8] though it was a nightmare for Rose to track down the same makers of Sparrow's sash in Turkey. Rose did not want to silkscreen it, as the homewoven piece had the correct worn feel.[8] Sparrow wears an additional belt in the sequels, because Depp liked a new buckle which did not fit with the original piece.[8]
Sparrow's weapons are genuine 18th century pieces: his sword dates to the 1740s, while his pistol is from the 1760s. Both were made in London.[8] Depp used two pistols on set, one being rubber. Both props survived after production of the first film.[8] Sparrow's magic compass also survived into the sequels, though director Gore Verbinski had a red arrow added to the dial as it became a more prominent prop. As it does not act like a normal compass, a magnet was used to make it spin.[8] Sparrow wears four rings, two of which belong to Depp. Depp bought the green ring in 1989, and the gold ring is a replica of a 2400-year old ring Depp gave to the crew, though the original was later stolen. The other two are props which Depp gave backstories to: the gold-and-black ring is stolen from a Spanish widow Sparrow seduced, and the green dragon ring recalls his adventures in the Far East.[8] Among Depp's additional ideas was the necklace made of human toes that Sparrow wears as the Pelegosto prepare to eat him,[8] and the scepter was based on one a friend of Depp's owned.[8]
During the course of the trilogy, Sparrow undergoes physical transformations. In ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'' Sparrow curses himself to battle the undead Barbossa. Like all the actors playing the ''Black Pearl'' crew, Depp had to shoot scenes in costume as a reference for the animators, and his shots as a skeleton were shot again without him. Depp reprised the scene again on a motion capture stage. In ''At World's End'', Sparrow hallucinates a version of himself as a member of Davy Jones' crew, adhered to a wall and encrusted with barnacles. Director Gore Verbinski oversaw that the design retained Sparrow's iconic look,[59] and rejected initial designs which portrayed him as over 100 years old.[60]
When '' grossed over $1 billion worldwide, Ian Nathan attributed this to Sparrow's popularity: "''Pirates'', the franchise, only had to turn up. There was a powerful holdover from the cheeky delights of its debut, something we hadn't felt since the Clone Wars called it a day."[61] ''Empire'' declared Johnny Depp's performance to be the seventy-fourth "thing that rocked our world" in 2006 when celebrating 200 issues.[62] A survey of more than 3,000 people showed Jack Sparrow was the most popular Halloween costume of 2006,[63] and a 2007 poll held by the Internet Movie Database showed Sparrow to be the second most popular live action hero, after Indiana Jones.[64] In a 2007 Pearl & Dean poll, Jack Sparrow is Depp's most popular performance.[65]
Emanuel Levy feels the character is the only iconic film character of the 2000s, while Todd Gilchrist feels Sparrow is the only element of the films that will remain timeless.[66] According to Sharon Eberson, the character's popularity can be attributed to being "scoundrel whose occasional bouts of conscience allow viewers to go with the flaws because, as played to the larger-than-life hilt by Depp, he owns every scene he is in."[67] Film history professor at UCLA Jonathan Kuntz also attributed his popularity to the increased questioning of masculinity in the 21st century, and Sparrow's personality contrasts to previous action-adventure heroes in cinema. Leonard Maltin concurs that Sparrow has a carefree attitude and does not take himself seriously.[68] Mark Fox also noted Sparrow is an escapist fantasy figure for women, free of much of the responsibility from most heroes.[69]
In addition to his role in the ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' series, Sparrow was parodied as "Jack Swallows" in ''Epic Movie'' (2007), where he was played by Darrell Hammond.[8] Sparrow also cameos in the DC Comics series ''52'' with a group of time-displaced pirates and robots.[71]

Jack Sparrow first appears in '' (2003), where he arrives in Port Royal in a sinking boat, looking to commandeer a ship. Despite rescuing Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), the daughter of Governor Weatherby (Jonathan Pryce) from drowning, he is jailed for piracy. That night, the ghost ship, the ''Black Pearl'' attacks Port Royal and kidnaps Elizabeth, who Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) believes can break an ancient Aztec curse he and the crew are under. Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), a blacksmith who loves Elizabeth, frees Sparrow to help him rescue her. They hijack the HMS ''Interceptor'' and acquire a crew in Tortuga before heading to Isla de Muerta, where Elizabeth is captive. They are quickly captured, and Barbossa maroons Sparrow and Elizabeth on a tiny island, the same island Sparrow, the ''Black Pearl's'' former captain, was marooned on when Barbossa and the crew mutinied, leaving him a pistol and only one shot. The island was used by rum-runners, which allowed Sparrow to bargain passage off, although, over the years, a tall tale evolves that he escaped on two sea turtles he lashed together.[1]
Sparrow steps back into the moonlight, revealing his cursed form
Jack and Elizabeth are rescued by the British Royal Navy, and Sparrow makes a deal to deliver them the ''Black Pearl''. During the final battle at Isla de Muerta, Sparrow swipes a cursed coin, making himself immortal so he can fight Barbossa. He shoots him with the same shot he has carried for ten years just as Will breaks the curse, killing Barbossa. The Royal Navy captures the surviving pirates, including Sparrow, who is later sentenced to death. At his execution in Port Royal, Will saves him, but they are quickly caught. Governor Swann and Commodore Norrington are reluctant to resume the hanging, however. Will is pardoned, while Sparrow escapes by falling off the sea wall. He is rescued by the ''Black Pearl'' crew, and he is captain once more. Apparently impressed by the clever pirate, Commodore James Norrington (Jack Davenport) allows him one day's head start before giving chase.
In the sequel '' (2006), Sparrow searches for the Dead Man's Chest. Thirteen years prior, Sparrow bartered his soul to Captain Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) to raise the sunken ''Black Pearl'' and make him captain. Now Sparrow must either serve for 100 years aboard the ''Flying Dutchman'', or be taken by the Kraken to Davy Jones' Locker. Sparrow learns the Dead Man's Chest contains Jones' heart—stabbing it will kill Jones and free Sparrow from his blood debt. Adding to Jack's woes, Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander) of the East India Trading Company wants to settle his own debt with Sparrow and forces Will Turner to search for him. Will finds Sparrow and his crew hiding from the Kraken on Pelegosto where they have been captured by cannibals. They escape, but Sparrow betrays Will to Davy Jones as part of a new deal to deliver 100 souls in exchange for his own. Sparrow recruits sailors in Tortuga where he unexpectedly encounters Elizabeth and the disgraced James Norrington. Convincing Elizabeth she can free Will by finding the Chest, they head for Isla Cruces after she pinpoints its location with the compass. Will also arrives, having escaped Jones' ship after stealing the key to the Chest. Will wants to stab the heart and free his father from Jones' servitude, while Norrington hopes to regain his career. Sparrow fears if Jones is dead, the Kraken will continue hunting him. Jones' crew arrives, and during the ensuing battle, Norrington steals the heart. Jones summons the Kraken to attack the ''Black Pearl''. Realizing that the Kraken only wants Sparrow, Elizabeth tricks him and chains him to the mast to save herself and the crew; Sparrow and the ship are dragged to Davy Jones' Locker.[2]
Sparrow faces off against the Kraken just as he is dragged to Davy Jones' Locker
In '' (2007), with Davy Jones' heart now in Beckett's possession, the nine pirate lords of the Brethren Court are summoned to convene at Shipwreck Cove to combat the combined threat of Beckett and Jones. Sparrow, who is the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean, must attend, as he never bequeathed his "piece of eight", a pirate lord's identification marker, to an heir. The collective "pieces" can summon the sea goddess Calypso. A resurrected Barbossa leads Sparrow's crew to Davy Jones' Locker using Chinese pirate Sao Feng's navigational charts. There Sparrow has been hallucinating an entire crew comprised of himself, each representing a facet of his personality. After the crew finds him, Sparrow deciphers a clue on the charts that they must capsize the ''Black Pearl'' to escape the Locker; at sunset, the ship upturns back into the living world. Sparrow and Barbossa arrive at the Brethren Court. Elizabeth, who was traded to Sao Feng, is made a pirate lord by him just before he dies. At the Brethren Court, she is elected "Pirate King" after Sparrow breaks a stalemate (the other lords always voted for themselves). During parley, he is traded for Will, who was captured by Jones and Beckett. The ''Black Pearl'' and the ''Flying Dutchman'' face off in battle during a maelstrom created by Calypso, Sparrow steals Davy Jones' heart to become immortal, but when Jones mortally wounds Will, Sparrow instead helps Will stab the heart, killing Jones and making Will the ''Flying Dutchman's'' new captain. Together, the ''Black Pearl'' and the ''Flying Dutchman'' destroy Beckett's ship. Afterwards, Barbossa again commandeers the ''Black Pearl'' and Feng's charts, stranding Sparrow in Tortuga. Fortunately, Sparrow has already removed the chart's middle, and he sets sail in a small boat, using his compass and the chart to guide him to the Fountain of Youth.[3]
Tie-ins
Jack Sparrow first appeared as a playable character in the 2005 video game ''Kingdom Hearts II'', where he was voiced by James Arnold Taylor in the English version and Hiroaki Hirata in the Japanese version. His role in the game is presumably non-canonical with the rest of ''Pirates'' fiction. Sparrow has since appeared in other video games, '' where he was voiced by Johnny Depp, the adaptation of '' and various game versions of '', where he was voiced by Jared Butler. The character is also set to appear in ''Pirates of the Caribbean Online'', which takes place before the films.
Sparrow's backstory in the ''The Complete Visual Guide'' says he was born on a pirate ship during a typhoon in the Indian Ocean. He was trained to fence by an Italian.[4] Rob Kidd wrote an ongoing book series entitled '', following a teenage Sparrow and his crew on the ''Barnacle'' as they battle sirens, mermaids and adult pirates while looking for various treasures. The first book, ''The Coming Storm'', was published on June 1 2006. On the website for '', it is explained that Sparrow once worked for the East India Trading Company and captained the ''Wicked Wench''. When he refused to transport slaves, he was branded a pirate and his ship was ordered sunk by Lord Cutler Beckett, an EITC agent. Sparrow then commissions Davy Jones to raise his ship, which he rechristened the ''Black Pearl''.[5]
Characterization
According to screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, Sparrow is a trickster who uses wit and deceit to attain his goals.[6] He walks in a slightly drunken swagger, accompanied by slurred speech and flailing hand gestures. Will Turner initially believes Sparrow suffers from heatstroke, but notes later that Sparrow often preplans his actions. Such tactics earned an admiring comment by Lieutenant Groves (Greg Ellis), who asks Cutler Beckett, "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?"
Sparrow usually prefers non-violent negotiations and turning his enemies against each other. He will invoke parley and tempts his enemies away from their murderous mindsets to see the bigger picture, as he does when he persuades Hector Barbossa to delay returning to mortal form to battle the British Royal Navy. He often uses a confusing vocabulary to confound his enemies, and it is suggested that his pacifism may be one reason Barbossa and the ''Black Pearl'' crew mutinied. Barbossa says in the first film, "That's the attitude that cost you the ''Pearl''."
Sparrow seems to have created, or at least contributes to, his own image. When Gibbs tells Will that Sparrow escaped from a desert island by strapping two sea turtles together, the captain embellishes the story by claiming the rope was made from hair off his back. In a script draft of '' Will's guide says that he heard Sparrow escaped execution in Port Royal by grabbing two parrots and flying away.[7] Actor Johnny Depp compared pirates to rock stars in that their fame preceded them, which may help fuel Sparrow's enormous ego. When Barbossa accuses Sparrow of being a coward in front of the Brethren Court, he vigorously defends his reputation. Sparrow also insists on being addressed as "Captain" Jack Sparrow and often gives the farewell, "You will remember this as the day you ''almost'' caught Captain Jack Sparrow," which is sometimes humorously cut off. When Norrington calls him, "the worst pirate I have ever heard of," Sparrow replies, "But you have heard of me." In a deleted scene from ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'' Sparrow ponders being "the immortal Captain Jack Sparrow",[8] and during the third film he seeks immortality, although his father, Captain Teague, warns it can be a terrible curse. Sparrow also ponders being "Captain Jack Sparrow, the last pirate," as the East India Trading Company purges piracy.
Despite his many heroics, Sparrow is a pirate and a morally ambiguous character.[9] When agreeing to trade 100 souls, including Will, to Davy Jones in exchange for his freedom, Jones asks Sparrow whether he can, "condemn an innocent man — a friend — to a lifetime of servitude in your name while you roam free?" Sparrow merely replies, "Yep! I'm good with it!" He carelessly runs up debts with Anamaria, Davy Jones, and the other pirate lords. Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat), pirate lord of Singapore, is particularly hateful towards him. In a cowardly moment, Sparrow abandons his crew during the Kraken's attack, but underlying loyalty and morality compel him to return and save them.[10] Sparrow claims to be a man of his word, and expresses surprise that people doubt his truthfulness. His morality is revealed in his official backstory in which he refused to transport slaves, nor is there murder or rape on his criminal record.
Depp partly based the character on Pepe Le Pew, a womanizing skunk from ''Looney Tunes''. Sparrow claims to have a "tremendous intuitive sense of the female creature", although his conquests are often left with a sour memory of him. Former flames, Scarlett and Giselle, usually slap him or anyone looking for him. His witty charm easily attracts women, and even has Elizabeth Swann questioning her feelings. However, Sparrows says his "first and only love is the sea,", and the ''Black Pearl'' represents freedom. Director Gore Verbinski noted phallic connotations in Sparrow's relationship with his vessel, which is described as "the only ship which can outrun the ''Flying Dutchman''". Because he loves the sea, Davy Jones' Locker is a desert to be Sparrow's personal hell. Sparrow also has bad personal hygiene, another Pepe Le Pew trait. Verbinski described Sparrow's breath as "like a donkey's ass", which Sparrow uses to knock Will off his ship by huffing at him. Lastly, Sparrow has an insatiable thirst for rum, which can confuse his magic compass as to what he wants most. According to his criminal record on the ''At World's End'' website, he even sacked a shipment of rum to quench his thirst.[11]
Concept and creation
Character creation
When writing the screenplay for '', Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio envisioned Jack Sparrow as a supporting character, citing Bugs Bunny and Groucho Marx as influences. The producers saw him as a young Burt Lancaster.[12] Director Gore Verbinski admitted, "The first film was a movie, and then Jack was put into it almost. He doesn't have the obligations of the plot in the same ways that the other characters have. He meanders his way through, and he kind of affects everybody else."[13] Sparrow represents an ethical pirate, with Captain Barbossa as his corrupt foil.[14] His true motives usually remain masked, and whether he is honorable or evil depends on the audience's perspective.[15] This acts as part of Will Turner's arc, in which Sparrow tells him a pirate can be a good man, like his father.
Following the success of ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'', the challenge to creating a sequel was, according to Verbinski, "You don't want just the Jack Sparrow movie. It's like having a garlic milkshake. He's the spice and you need a lot of straight men....Let's not give them too much Jack. It's like too much dessert or too much of a good thing." Although '' was written to propel the trilogy's plot, Sparrow's state-of-mind as he is pursued by Davy Jones becomes increasingly edgy, and the writers concocted the cannibal sequence to show that he was in danger whether on land or sea. Sparrow is also perplexed over his attraction to Elizabeth Swann, and attempts to justify it throughout the film.
'' was meant to return it tonally to a character piece. Sparrow, in particular, is tinged with madness after extended solitary confinement in Davy Jones' Locker,[16] and now desires immortality.[17] Sparrow struggles with what it takes to be a moral person, after his honest streak caused his doom in the second film.[18] By the end of ''At World's End'' Sparrow is sailing to the Fountain of Youth, an early concept for the second film.[8] Rossio has said they may write the screenplay for a fourth film,[20] and producer Jerry Bruckheimer has expressed interest in a spin-off.[21]
Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp was looking to do a family film in 2001, and was visiting Walt Disney Studios when he heard there were plans to adapt the ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' ride into a film. Depp was excited by the possibility of reviving an old Hollywood genre, and was further delighted that the script met his quirky sensibilities: the crew of the ''Black Pearl'' were not searching for treasure, but were instead trying to return it to lift their curse. In addition, the traditional mutiny had already occurred.[22] Depp was cast on June 10 2002.[23] Producer Jerry Bruckheimer felt Depp was, "an edgy actor who will kind of counter the Disney ''Country Bears'' soft quality and tell an audience that an adult and teenager can go see this and have a good time with it."
At the first read-through, Depp surprised the cast and crew by portraying the character in an off-kilter manner.[24] After researching 18th century pirates, Depp compared them to modern rock stars and decided to base his performance on Keith Richards.[25] Verbinski and Bruckheimer had confidence in Depp, partly because Orlando Bloom would be playing the traditional Errol Flynn-type character. Depp also improvised the film's final line, "Bring me that horizon!", which is the writer's favorite line. Disney executives were initially confused by Depp's performance, asking him whether the character was drunk or gay. Michael Eisner even proclaimed while watching rushes, "He's ruining the film!" Depp responded, "Look, these are the choices I made. You know my work. So either trust me or give me the boot." Many industry insiders also questioned Depp's casting, as he was an unconventional actor not known for working within the traditional studio system.[26]
Depp's performance was highly acclaimed by film critics. Alan Morrison found it, "Gloriously over-the-top... In terms of physical precision and verbal delivery, it's a master-class in comedy acting."[27] Roger Ebert also found his performance, "original in its every atom. There has never been a pirate, or for that matter a human being, like this in any other movie....his behavior shows a lifetime of rehearsal." Ebert also praised Depp for also drawing away from the way the character was written.[28] Although he disliked the film, critic Kenneth Turan enjoyed Depp's performance,[29] but Mark Kermode wrote it was some of Depp's "worst work to date... under [director Gore Verbinski]'s slack direction Depp defaults to an untrammelled showiness not seen since the sub-Buster Keaton antics of ''Benny & Joon''."[30] Depp won a Screen Actor's Guild award for his performance, and was also nominated for a Golden Globe[31] and an Academy Award, the first in his career.[32] Ultimately, the film made Depp a movie star as well as a character actor.[33]
An initial costume concept for Jack Sparrow before Depp's ideas took hold
Johnny Depp returned as Jack Sparrow in 2006's '', the first time the actor ever made a sequel. Drew McWeeny noted, "Remember how cool Han Solo was in '' the first time you saw it? And then remember how much cooler he seemed when '' came out? This is that big a jump."[34] Yet, Eric Vespe felt that, "In the first movie he was playing a fool that was hiding a great pirate on the inside and in this one he's a great pirate hiding a cowardly fool."[35] By ''At World's End'' Peter Travers felt it proved, "there can indeed be too much of a good thing."[36] Nonetheless, Depp received an MTV Movie Award[37] and a Teen Choice Award for ''Dead Man's Chest'', and was also nominated for a Golden Globe.[38] Depp has expressed interest in portraying Sparrow for a fourth and fifth film, believing he has yet to explore the full potential of the character.[39]
Make-up and costumes
Johnny Depp wore a wig to portray Sparrow's dreadlocks, an aesthetic influenced by Depp's rock n' roll approach to pirates.[8] In addition to a red bandana Sparrow wears numerous objects in his hair, which was influenced by Keith Richards' habit of collecting souvenirs from his travels,[8] which includes Sparrow's "piece of eight". Sparrow wears kohl around his eyes, which was inspired by Depp's study of nomads who he compared to pirates,[8] and Depp also wore contacts that acted as sunglasses.[43] Sparrow has several gold teeth, two of which belong to Depp,[8] although they were applied during filming. Depp forgot to have them removed after shooting ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'',[45] and decided to keep them throughout shooting of the sequels. Like all aspects of Depp's performance, Disney initially expressed great concern over Depp's teeth. Sparrow wears his goatee in two braids. Initially wire was used in them, but they were abandoned when they stuck up when Depp laid down.[8] Sparrow also has numerous tattoos, and has been branded a pirate on his right arm by Cutler Beckett, underneath a tattoo of a sparrow.
Depp collaborated with costume designer Penny Rose on his character's appearance, handpicking the tricorne as Sparrow's signature leather hat: the other characters in the series could not wear leather hats, to make Sparrow's unique. For the scene when it floats on water in ''Dead Man's Chest'', a rubber version was used.[47] Depp liked to stick to one costume, wearing one lightweight silk tweed coat throughout the series,[8] and he had to be coaxed out of wearing his boots for a version without a sole or heel in beach scenes.[8] None of the costumes from ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'' survived: this allowed tougher linen shirts to be used for stunts,[8] though it was a nightmare for Rose to track down the same makers of Sparrow's sash in Turkey. Rose did not want to silkscreen it, as the homewoven piece had the correct worn feel.[8] Sparrow wears an additional belt in the sequels, because Depp liked a new buckle which did not fit with the original piece.[8]
Sparrow's weapons are genuine 18th century pieces: his sword dates to the 1740s, while his pistol is from the 1760s. Both were made in London.[8] Depp used two pistols on set, one being rubber. Both props survived after production of the first film.[8] Sparrow's magic compass also survived into the sequels, though director Gore Verbinski had a red arrow added to the dial as it became a more prominent prop. As it does not act like a normal compass, a magnet was used to make it spin.[8] Sparrow wears four rings, two of which belong to Depp. Depp bought the green ring in 1989, and the gold ring is a replica of a 2400-year old ring Depp gave to the crew, though the original was later stolen. The other two are props which Depp gave backstories to: the gold-and-black ring is stolen from a Spanish widow Sparrow seduced, and the green dragon ring recalls his adventures in the Far East.[8] Among Depp's additional ideas was the necklace made of human toes that Sparrow wears as the Pelegosto prepare to eat him,[8] and the scepter was based on one a friend of Depp's owned.[8]
During the course of the trilogy, Sparrow undergoes physical transformations. In ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'' Sparrow curses himself to battle the undead Barbossa. Like all the actors playing the ''Black Pearl'' crew, Depp had to shoot scenes in costume as a reference for the animators, and his shots as a skeleton were shot again without him. Depp reprised the scene again on a motion capture stage. In ''At World's End'', Sparrow hallucinates a version of himself as a member of Davy Jones' crew, adhered to a wall and encrusted with barnacles. Director Gore Verbinski oversaw that the design retained Sparrow's iconic look,[59] and rejected initial designs which portrayed him as over 100 years old.[60]
Popular culture
When '' grossed over $1 billion worldwide, Ian Nathan attributed this to Sparrow's popularity: "''Pirates'', the franchise, only had to turn up. There was a powerful holdover from the cheeky delights of its debut, something we hadn't felt since the Clone Wars called it a day."[61] ''Empire'' declared Johnny Depp's performance to be the seventy-fourth "thing that rocked our world" in 2006 when celebrating 200 issues.[62] A survey of more than 3,000 people showed Jack Sparrow was the most popular Halloween costume of 2006,[63] and a 2007 poll held by the Internet Movie Database showed Sparrow to be the second most popular live action hero, after Indiana Jones.[64] In a 2007 Pearl & Dean poll, Jack Sparrow is Depp's most popular performance.[65]
Emanuel Levy feels the character is the only iconic film character of the 2000s, while Todd Gilchrist feels Sparrow is the only element of the films that will remain timeless.[66] According to Sharon Eberson, the character's popularity can be attributed to being "scoundrel whose occasional bouts of conscience allow viewers to go with the flaws because, as played to the larger-than-life hilt by Depp, he owns every scene he is in."[67] Film history professor at UCLA Jonathan Kuntz also attributed his popularity to the increased questioning of masculinity in the 21st century, and Sparrow's personality contrasts to previous action-adventure heroes in cinema. Leonard Maltin concurs that Sparrow has a carefree attitude and does not take himself seriously.[68] Mark Fox also noted Sparrow is an escapist fantasy figure for women, free of much of the responsibility from most heroes.[69]
In addition to his role in the ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' series, Sparrow was parodied as "Jack Swallows" in ''Epic Movie'' (2007), where he was played by Darrell Hammond.[8] Sparrow also cameos in the DC Comics series ''52'' with a group of time-displaced pirates and robots.[71]
