Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides - #Giveaway

Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Rob Marshall, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” captures the fun, adventure and humor that ignited the hit franchise—this time in Disney Digital 3D™. Johnny Depp returns to his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in an action-packed adventure. Crossing paths with the enigmatic Angelica (Penélope Cruz), he’s not sure if it’s love—or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know whom to fear more: Blackbeard or Angelica, with whom he shares a mysterious past. The international cast includes franchise vets Geoffrey Rush as the vengeful Captain Hector Barbossa and Kevin R. McNally as Captain Jack’s longtime comrade Joshamee Gibbs, plus Sam Claflin as a stalwart missionary and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey as a mysterious mermaid.  "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" sails into theaters May 20th.

SKULL FUN FACTS

The iconic Skull representing “The Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise has undergone yet another transformation for the latest film, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.”

• The mysterious “X” scar on the left side of the face

• New beads

• A pearl in the gold front tooth

• Blond streaks in the hair

• Skeletons hanging from the last trinket on the beaded dreadlock

• A hidden “Mickey” on the left dreadlock

• Swimming mermaids engraved on the hand guard of the right sword

• The Skull features the signature red bandana Captain Jack Sparrow wore in all the films of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” film franchise. Red was a popular color with pirates, who preferred more colorful dress. It was also a color synonymous with “giving no quarter” to enemies as exemplified by flying a red Jolly Roger flag when engaging a foe at sea.

• The crossed swords, or pirates’ cutlasses, have a special meaning: When the crossed swords face upward, they signify readiness for battle. When the swords point downward, they signify the end of conflict. Down-pointing crossed swords are a common military symbol on graves or memorials signifying death in battle. On the teaser poster the swords are pointing downward.
