Pirates' Chest Disc - Huh?
Posted by maggie

When I realized I had the first and third Pirates of the Caribbean movie on DVD -- but not the second -- I also realized I apparently wasn't alone. Because not long after release of the third movie on DVD, Disney came out with a re-release of Dead Man's Chest. Having looked for it sporadically after buying Part Three, I grabbed it and, last week, sat down to watch the trilogy. (Sorta like Lord of the Rings, they make a three-part whole, not three stand-on-their-own feature films.)

When I opened the case for Part Two, this is what I found:


Disc 1? What's with Disc 1? It was the only disc in the $20 package. And it was the only version of the film on sale where I bought it. So somewhere there's a super-package. Sigh.

Maggie:
There was a previously released 2 disc set, with the companion disc having all the special features and other "goodies".
Of course this was long before Pirates 3 hit theatres, let alone the DVD racks, so your guess is as good as mine as to what Disney Home Video may be up to.
But if they plan to release the movie just by itself, obviously someone screwed up labeling the disc.
Take care.
Lee.
