Pirates of the Caribbean - On Stranger Tides Quiz

Answer: A hanging

The hanging of a pirate was being advertised in the streets of London and the townspeople were very excited. A man explained to his son that they were actually going to a trial, but that the hanging would come after. Jack Sparrow was to be on trial, but it was actually Gibbs that was brought to the courtroom. Jack disguised himself as the judge in order to save Gibbs from hanging. Gibbs told Jack he had come to London because he'd heard a rumour that Captain Jack Sparrow was there recruiting a crew. Jack was puzzled and concluded that someone had been impersonating him.

Answer: His father

When Jack and Gibbs fled the courtroom, Jack thought he had paid the carriage driver to take them to an exit route. Instead, they were brought to King George's palace. King George heard that Jack knew the route to the Fountain of Youth, and wanted him to navigate an expedition to be led by Captain Barbossa, now a privateer employed by the Crown. Jack escaped from the palace and was chased by several guards.

When he thought he had successfully eluded them, he found that there was one more standing behind him, aiming a gun at him. Suddenly a shot was heard and the guard fell to the ground, dead.

The gunman stepped out of the shadows and Jack greeted him as "Dad". It was Captain Teague, played by Keith Richards reprising his cameo role from the previous "Pirates" flick, "At World's End".

Answer: Queen Anne's Revenge

After discovering that the person who had been impersonating him was Angelica, an old flame, Jack was shot with a tranquilizer dart and brought aboard a ship where he was made to scrub the deck and do other chores. A fellow crew member told Jack that he was on the Queen Anne's Revenge, which Jack knew was Blackbeard's ship.

It turned out that Angelica was Blackbeard's daughter and the ship's first mate, and Jack had been forced to come along with them to lead them to the Fountain of Youth. A prophecy had said that Blackbeard would die soon, so he desperately wanted to find the Fountain.

Answer: Burned it

Since Jack had escaped from the King's palace, Barbossa had no way of getting to the Fountain of Youth. Jack had given Gibbs the map just before being taken into the palace, and to save himself from being hanged, Gibbs set fire to the map. He told Barbossa that he had memorized the route and that Barbossa must keep him alive and let him navigate the journey.

Answer: Burned him

Jack Sparrow had suggested to the rest of the crew of the Queen Anne's Revenge that they mutiny and take the ship. The others were enthusiastic and they had at it, and were quite successful until Blackbeard came out of his cabin and put an end to it. When he asked who the leader was, the cook raised his hand, so Blackbeard had him set out to sea in a boat, to try row away from the ship as fast as he could, but he could not get away fast enough to avoid the fire shot out of the front of the ship. The whole small boat went up in flames, and Blackbeard had it doused with fire once more for good measure.

Answer: Whitecap Bay

They needed to find a mermaid because a mermaid's tear was required in order to take advantage of the Fountain of Youth; combined with water from the fountain, the person who drank the tear would take all the years of life away from the person who drank the water without a tear.

At Whitecap Bay, Blackbeard had a bunch of his crew members sit in a boat in the water, singing, as bait to attract the mermaids. It turned into chaos when dozens of mermaids showed up, trying to lure the men to the depths of the ocean.

They all swam off when Jack caused the lighthouse tower to explode, except for one, whom Blackbeard captured and imprisoned in a glass coffin. Barbossa's crew of sailors also went to Whitecap Bay, but all they found there was the wreckage that Blackbear's crew had left.

Answer: Syrena

Phillip had a special connection with the mermaid from the moment they first looked at each other. He gave her his shirt when she was cold, and carried her when the glass coffin broke and she lost her mermaid tail being out of the water but couldn't walk on her own. Partway through the journey, Phillip got angry with the way Blackbeard was referring to the mermaid and announced, "She has a name!" He then gave her the name Syrena.

Answer: Seeing that Phillip was alive

When Blackbeard was trying to force Syrena to cry, because a mermaid's tear was required for the fountain of youth formula, he noticed that she and Phillip seemed to care for each other, so he had one of his men cut Phillip and toss his body aside. Syrena was upset, but still did not cry. Later, Phillip regained consciousness and returned to where Syrena was tied up to help her.

She was very happy to see him alive and was so grateful that he was helping her escape that she started crying tears of joy. Blackbeard and his men then appeared to catch a tear, saying that a tear of joy was more potent than a tear of sorrow anyway. Later, when Phillip was wounded again, he returned to where Syrena had been left to die and they kissed.

She pulled him down into the water with him.

Answer: Alcohol

Barbossa had lost a leg since the end of the third film and now walked with a peg leg. When he and Jack tried to ambush the Spaniards to steal the chalices, they were captured and tied to trees. While they were sitting there, Jack trying to get himself loose, Barbossa removed his leg. Jack asked if he had a knife in there, but then Barbossa took a swig from the leg, showing that it was alcohol. Jack jealously said, "I want one of those." It was in this scene that Barbossa also revealed that he didn't care about the Fountain of Youth and was just going there because he knew Blackbeard was going there.

He wanted to exact his revenge on Blackbeard, because Blackbeard had been responsible for taking the Black Pearl and Barbossa's leg. Jack said he'd help him get his chance for revenge.

Answer: Angelica

At the end, both Blackbeard and Angelica were dying, Blackbeard having been stabbed with a poisoned sword by Barbossa and Angelica having touched the sword as well. Jack prepared the chalices and offered Angelica the one with the mermaid's tear and urged Blackbeard to drink the other one, to save Angelica. Blackbeard then took the one that Jack said contained the mermaid's tear and asked Angelica to drink the other one, so that he could take her years of life. Jack, however, knew he would do this and had set it up so that Blackbeard would take the one that didn't actually have the tear. Blackbeard died and Angelica was furious with him, even though it had saved her life. Jack simply said that he had helped Blackbeard do what any father should have done, save his child's life.
