In Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), an air-stuffed boat of this volume would call for a literal ton of fat to submerge it. This was doable simply because of Captain Jack Sparrow’s huge balls

Although underwater might be his kryptonite considering who dwells there
Oh hey, the boat scene from Pirates of the Caribbean
“If I had a penny for every time I had to turn a boat upside down to get somewhere, I’d have two pennies. Which isn’t much, but it’s weird that it happened twice.”
is there an old sailor (sinbad?) movie that this scene is similar too? it’s annoyed me on occasion in the past but I’ve never been able to find it
Best way to hide from Amber
They had cannons laying around there though. All they’d need to do is tie it onto the boat.
I do appreciate that in this scene they kind of acknowledge that it shouldn’t work.
Real question: if they had attached an anchor to it, would it have been more feasible?
Mythbuster did try this theory and i think it is not possible
If this isn’t feasible then please explain how they are literally doing it in this gif! OP is dumb.
This is the kind of phsyics I can let pass by because well its hollywood and that movie was supposed to be funny, but everything that happened in gravity was pathetic since all of the scenes trying to build tension literally had no physical tension present.
Never seen any of those movies, it looks like stupid fun.
When I was a kid I thought the movie revealed a really cool trick to me and thar you could actually do that in real life, I went around telling people it was real and nobody questioned it cuz we were all kids lol
How did they film that underwater though? There were no waterproof cameras in the 1700s.
Johnny Depps was heavy enough to submerge it I’m sure.
A typical bathtub is around 40 gallons. That scene looks like there are about 2 bathtub volumes of air in it, so about 80 gallons of water was displaced, which would be somewhere around 670 pounds. Far short of the literal ton claimed, but still far too much for two men to weigh down.
And incredible grip strength
What about two sparrows carrying it together?
