Note: The number at the beginning of each section refers to how much explicit content of that kind there is in the film on a scale of 1-10. The fraction at the end of the last section is the total sum of the sections over the highest sum possible (50) and is therefore an approximation of about how explicit the film is a whole.

Sex & Nudity: 2

A man and a woman are on a ship. The woman seems to be trying to seduce the man, though this is not the true case. She says things like, "You want to know what curiousity tastes like.". This happens on two occasions. On the second occasion, they kiss, and then the man is tied to a pole during the kiss (he is captain, and to follow traditions he must sink with his ship, as he was trying to avoid, which is the whole point of the woman 'seducing' him.) The first and the second scene are somewhat awkward and hard to understand their signifigance until after the second scene..

Some kissing scenes.

Violence & Gore: 7

A man has his eye pecked out by a black bird and blood drips down his eye. Very violent, but the lighting is dark and the scene very short.

We see a man hung by his neck by a rope. We also see a faceless man. There is no blood shown.

Jack Sparrow shoots a black bird with a gun.

After a character sees the two dead men a sea-like creature comes after him The character slashes at the creature, cutting it. Green gooey guts and things that the creature ate come out. There is no blood shown, just green goo.

It is implied that man has his head cut off, but we don't see it, only hear a cutting sound.

A man stabs another man with a sword, pulls it out and we see blood on the sword.

When Jack Sparrow is on the island, the cannibals offer him a dismembered (not bloody) toe. He eats part of it. (No blood is shown.)

Davy Jones' heart is shown, but it is not as bad as you would think.(Not bloody), just like a normal heart.

There is a lot of stabbing with swords, shooting, and fighting. Most of the time no blood is shown, and it's not very graphic

Profanity: 3

2 d-mns (including one "d-mn you") and 1 ass.

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: 3

Jack holds up an empty bottle and wonders why the rum is always gone. When he goes looking for some, he runs into the barnacled-covered Bootstrap Bill and wonders if this is a dream, but then says it isn't as there'd be rum. Bootstrap Bill then offers him some and Jack has to pry the encrusted bottle from his crusty hand. Bootstrap Bill then has some as well.

Frightening/Intense Scenes: 4

Similarly, the appearance of some of the ghostly and/or monstrous characters, including Davy Jones (and his tentacle-covered face and large crab claw "hand"), his minions (in various stages of fish or crustacean transformation), Bootstrap Bill (with barnacles on his face) and the giant octopus monster may be unsettling or scary to younger kids.

An idea of how accurate the TECE (below) is: 5-10 is a little-kid suitable, G-Rated type of film (i.e., Care Bears, Sleeping Beauty); 10-15 is going to be a little harsher, but not by much (i.e., The Incredibles); 15-20 could be pretty high up there (i.e., THIS), 20-25 is going to pretty darn adult (i.e., The Dark Knight); 25-30 is going to be a film most likely not suitable for anyone under 17 (i.e., Braveheart); 30-40 is going to be an absolutely, positively adults-only film (i.e. Saving Private Ryan) and if a movie has ever gone past 40, then I haven't heard of it.

Total Explicit Content Estimation: 19/50.
