His most iconic line became synonymous with his character: “Why is the rum always gone?” Aye, Jack, we’ve all wondered that at some point!
It’s not just Captain Jack who graces us with memorable quotes. The delightful Elizabeth Swann, played by Keira Knightley, brings her fair share of wit and determination to the mix. Who can forget her spirited retort to Jack, “You like pain? Try wearing a corset!”
Of course, what’s a pirate tale without a fearsome antagonist? Enter Captain Hector Barbossa, portrayed by the brilliant Geoffrey Rush.

And secondly, you must be a pirate for the Pirate’s Code to apply, and you’re not.” can send chills down any landlubber’s spine.
And we’d be remiss not to mention the legendary line that echoes throughout the franchise: “Dead men tell no tales.”
