The Prison Ravens are characters from the 2006 Disney live-action film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. They are a group of ravens which inhabit a Turkish prison located at the Mediterranean Sea.
Background[]
These ravens are shown to fly around the prison and are often the subject of being a snack of prisoners who are placed into cages for their crimes, devouring them in their cages. They are often seen waiting for arrested prisoners to devour them, showing that they are a subject to snacking on prisoners who were arrested for their crimes.
Role in the film[]
The ravens are seen flying past the Black Pearl where they fly past the Turkish prison where they are seen soaring around to look for prisoners to kill for their crimes. During the montage, they are seen devouring prisoners in human-sized birdcages after being arrested for their crimes throughout the montage while a prisoner fearfully watches the ravens devouring a nearby prisoner just as the guards place the worried prisoner in a room with two massive doors within the prison. Later, one raven lands on a coffin that was tossed away by a group of guards into the ocean to look for a dead body to snack on only to find out that Jack Sparrow hiding within the coffin shot the raven using his pistol, killing the raven attempting to open the coffin; Jack escapes and reunites with the motley crew. The ravens make no further appearances after that.
Trivia[]
- The ravens are one of the animals from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise that did not originate from the original attraction.
- According to Ted Elliott, screenwriter for Dead Man's Chest, the scene with the raven pecking on Jack Sparrow's coffin only for Jack to dispatch the raven with his pistol and escape from his coffin was the very last shot filmed which occurred two weeks of filming scenes during nighttime from sunrise to sunset[1] This was after two weeks of filming night scenes, from sunset to sunrise.[2]
