10 More Movie Post-Credits Scenes That Went Absolutely Nowhere
5. Jack's Voodoo Doll - Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
On the high seas, and indeed on land, Jack Sparrow rubbed shoulders with some of the most notorious and dangerous people in the world. From Barbossa to Davy Jones and Captain Salazar, there were plenty of people who would have been happy to see Captain Jack dead.
One who wanted to keep the pirate alive however, at least for the time being, was Blackbeard. He wanted Jack to lead him to the Fountain of Youth, and as something of an incentive to get him there, crafted a working voodoo doll.
The mini effigy was thrown over a cliff at one point as proof that Jack would survive the jump. However, the doll itself wasn't seen for the rest of the movie until it wound up on the same shore that Jack himself had marooned Angelica. The woman he betrayed and deserted looked up with a smile, clearly excited at the prospect of revenge.
However, six years later when Jack Sparrow returned to screens in Salazar's Revenge, there was absolutely no mention of either Angelica or the doll. Some have theorised that Angelica's possession of little Jack could explain the fact that he lost his luck in the fifth movie, but this isn't really how a voodoo doll works. He would have had broken bones and unending agony, but instead the story thread was abandoned entirely.
