Listen, it’s Talk Like a Pirate Day today, but it can also be WATCH Like a Pirate Day. You know that pirates go for the treasure and the booty first and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales on Digital and 4K UHD has amazing undiscovered treasure in its bonus features. Truthfully around here, if we’ve already seen a movie on the big screen, we take a page out of the pirate diary and hit the bonus features first.
Bonus material includes a collection of behind-the-scenes, making-of stories, including a conversation with directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg; a sit-down with the two young newcomers who play Henry and Carina; the secrets behind the menacing new villain, Salazar, and his ferocious ghost sharks; an on-set visit with Jack’s first mate from all five films; a chat with Sir Paul McCartney who appears as Uncle Jack; and a discussion about the franchise’s legacy; along with hilarious bloopers, deleted scenes and memories from producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s photo diary.
The rip-roaring adventure—packed with humor, suspense and jaw-dropping special effects—finds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling the winds of ill fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazar (Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea—notably Jack.
