Caribbean Wars: The Pirates Strike Back
Jul. 11th, 2006 10:48 amIn keeping with the piratical theme of the last few days, thanks to the pasting I took at Ninja High last night I'm now walking with a limp and I've got a black eye so it looks like I'm wearing an eyepatch. All I need now is an injury which looks like a parrot and the illusion will be complete.
Many people – not least myself – have noted the uncanny structural plot similarities between Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Even the writers of the film acknowledge their debt to Lucas & Kerstner’s opus. However, it was only in final drafts of the script that the serial numbers of Empire were properly filed off and a distinguishable film produced.
Thanks to Hollywood insiders I have managed to get my hands on an earlier copy of the script in which the differences are perhaps not so marked…
( Arrr! If you ain’t seen Dead Man’s Chest, ‘ee don’t want to be clickin’ ‘ere, that ‘ee don’t. Arr. Thar be spoilers to the gunnells in 'ere, matey. )
