The Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest Stunt That Challenged Orlando Bloom – /Film

Verbinski's work on the remake of the Japanese horror movie "The Ring" and his Rube Goldberg-filled film "Mouse Hunt" gave him a unique skill set for his work on "Pirates." That combination of supernatural and slapstick created exploding skeletons, swinging Sparrows, and of course, the wheel fight in "Dead Man's Chest." In the scene, James Norrington (Jack Davenport) and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) clash swords while balancing on an unhinged mill wheel, which traps the hapless Sparrow (Johnny Depp).

Bloom shot another scene with his pirate crew inside a large, bone cage that swung like a pendulum between two green screens. In the film, it looks far more dangerous as the pirates dangle between two cliffs. But by contrast, the wheel fight isn't a work of CGI. In an interview with MovieWeb, Bloom recalled the scene as the most challenging he had to shoot for the film.
