The Coolest Movie Death Ever

This is one of the most awesome deaths in movie history (in my opinion, anyways).

Did you know: the most likely way to die in a historic cannon fight aboard a ship was not getting hit by a cannonball, but rather "grapeshot," or, flying splinters of wood.

Trivia: who can tell me the most obvious goof in the scenes of the actual battle?

And one more, The English ship has the wind at her back (The Ensign on flapping on the stern proves this). So have can the two pirate ships sail just as fast, going upwind?

@AduneStormwind Haha yeah you probably found the rest of the mistakes in this scene. I said it was cool, not done correctly. It would be really boring if it was realistic - and the "bad guys" would have won. :P

why didnt lord becket fight back 0.o why did he just sit there and take it

[TehButterflyEffect]

@asianbananacat The reason for that can be explained by watching the previous movies. He is a very calculating man, and the thought that he may be defeated had never even occurred to him. The Flying Dutchman basically broke his brain when it turned toward him and began to fire. It so differed from his idea of what would happen that he could no longer think clearly.

Check out the death of Gus on Breaking Bad

[TehButterflyEffect]

@TheNOTchosen1 Yeah that was just disgusting. Cool, but disgusting.

@Teleisawesome In that case, your mom died one of the coolest deaths possible.

[Teleisawesome]

This isn't funny... my mom died like that.

YES THE BRITISH WANTED THE WORLD...

and they should take it.

@AduneStormwind

also the main deck of the endevor is much higher than the dutchman or pearl, so how would demolish the upper works like that even if they had super ultra rapidfire cannons

[adamlikestoshank]

@adamlikestoshank

and also the pearls puny 12 pounders and the dutchmans even more puny 6 pounders (according to the wiki) would have a hard time seriously damaging a ship like that especially in one pass.

@AduneStormwind

also there firing ridiculously fast with non flintlock cannons, it would take trained gunners atleast one minute to reload i'd think, the debris and falling mast would of caused havoc on the other 2 ships and possibly got them tangled up, and thirdly the explosion of the magazines would of done severe damage to the pearl and dutchman yet they sail off unharmed.

@AduneStormwind You're right, the whole thing is ridiculous. Great scene though.
