15 Movie Titles That Blatantly Lied To You

By Simon Gallagher / November 2, 2021

9. Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl

Disney

What It Suggests

That the film will centre on a curse attached to The Black Pearl, the titular ship that Captain Jack Sparrow used to be the captain of and which currently sits under the command of Barbosa.

The Truth

There is a curse in The Curse Of The Black Pearl, but it is not the Black Pearl that is cursed. The curse is actually on the crew, as a result of them stealing cursed treasure. If they were to leave the ship, the ship would not be cursed - it would just be a ship.

Also, very few of those pirates are from the Caribbean.
