In the opening scene when Elizabeth Swan is a child on the ship. They rescue a young Will Turner. They show a ship torn in two and burning ( possibly from the Kraken? ). Elizabeth looks out into the fog and for a moment sees a ghost pirate ship. I now realize that she sees The Flying Dutchman. About 20 minutes into the movie when Captain Jack Sparrow is talking to the two British soldiers who are protecting a docked ship. Jack Sparrow says, "and then they made me their chief". I needt to finish rewatching Curse of the Black Pearl to find to find more observations. Just to add, I thought the second movie blows away the first one. POTC Dead Man's chest has to the THE most special effects movie ever. The plot is great. I really didn't think there were any slow parts. "It's Elizabeth Swan, quick hide the rum".

Originally Posted By DlandJB Yes, Elizabeth sees the Black Pearl. Also, Jack Sparrow's line about "they made me their chief" has been described by Johnny Depp as an adlibbed tribute to a British comedy troupe (the line is a punchline to one of their sketches) and had nothing to do with the storyline (unless perhaps it sparked the idea to add the storyline in 2) but at the time it was filmed, it had no meaning.
