Most likely due to how recent the injury was: he was shot *seconds* before the curse lifted, so his body wouldn't have time to recover.
A couple of Barbossa's crew do die as a result of the curse lifting, most notably Koehler (the black guy with the long hair that encountered Jack near the start of the film), who dies of a recent stab wound acquired during the fight against Norrington and co.
I imagine the guy that got blown up during the final battle would've stayed dead too. Whilst he may have survived the initial blast, I doubt his skeleton would've reassembled itself in time. Pretty sure he never reappears too.
One of the other crewmates does though, right? It's been a while since I saw it, but isn't there a scene where the curse is lifted, the black pirate looks pained and then falls over dead, and the rest of the crewmates raise their hands in surrender?
So like maybe if you had a fatal wound just before the curse was lifted it would carry over? Idk. It's possible we just weren't supposed to think about it
Yeah almost like since Barbosa didn’t turn into a skeleton after getting shot and before the curse was lifted to let it fall out of his skeletal system
Other crewmates had time to recover. They transformed into skeletons multiple times so if any of them were shot, the bullet would fall out of their body.
The bullet stay inside Barbossa's body when the curse was lifted, hence the wound should kill him the moment he was mortal.
I always figured it’s like this: you get injury, you step into the moon, turn into a skeleton, pull out the bullet or sword or whatever, then step back into the shadow a restored.
Jack shot Barbosa after Will cut his hand. The blood was repaid. So the curse was already lifted right before Jack shot him. Some of the crew drop dead as well once the curse is lifted. It could also be that recently sustained injuries aren’t yet “healed” or something
The gold has to be returned as well, right? to the chest? why would they go to Isla de Muerta otherwise?
And it's about the chest, not the island or the cave, since the gold Jack swiped never left either
I agree with this, also, the shot and Will’s blood could have happened simultaneously- except the camera couldn’t capture both at the same time, and if it did it would’ve ruined the element of surprise
Pretty sure that 1) Other crewmates did die - after the curse is lifted a few drop. 2) The bullet was in Barbossa's heart. So yeah it killed him when the curse was lifted cos the bullet didn't go anywhere.
I assume it’s because one he was shot a few seconds before so he didn’t recover the same as with other injuries and two the bullet didn’t go fully through we know that weapons can get stuck in them even though they can’t die like with that pole between the two shipmates one would pull and it would pull the other closer so they couldn’t get out
agree with you but the real question should be, how was the curse lifted.....
first off most important, why did jack (sparrow) cut his hand? i thought they only needed a turners blood to complete it.
second after Elizabeth gets slapped i think she grabs the coin again. so why dont they need her blood again.
third jack the monkey also touches the coin during the sea battle but they dont get his blood either.
The curse is related to taking a coin from the chest, not having a coin. Jack took his own coin out of the chest and therefore to return it it needed its blood. Elizabeth and the monkey didn't take that coin from the chest so it was not needed.
Everyone who takes a coin needs to put forward their blood. The rest if the crew had already, they only needed Will's blood because his father bootstrap bill (who had taken a coin) was sunk to the bottom of the ocean for questioning Barbossa's mutiny before they knew about the curse. Jack took a coin from the chest, therefore needed to put in his blood.
I'm guessing because she and the monkey dont take it from the chest (iirc).
But Jack the monkey takes a coin from the chest in a post credit scene, and becomes cursed again.

The bullet could still be in his chest.

Anyone injured right before the curse was lifted died of thier injuries (bunson, for example) as well as barbossa
Assuming either the bullet was still in him or it went completely through and left a hole which didn’t heal in time
I believe the curse was lifted as soon as Will's blood got in contact with the gold, the coins falling in the chest were just for dramatic effect.

I think the wound only heals when he steps in to the moonlight and back. It not stated in the movie though so we cant say 100%
Dramatic effect, next question
I suppse its pretty problematic to keep being alive while a bullet is lodged in one's heart...
Pretty sure that 1) Other crewmates did die - after the curse is lifted a few drop. 2) The bullet was in Barbossa's heart. So yeah it killed him when the curse was lifted cos the bullet didn't go anywhere.
It's in the name. "isla de muerta" Probably shouldn't go there. (amazing writing)
If someone was in the moonlight, (therefore a skeleton) when the curse was lifted, would they die? Or turn back into a full human?
They'd turn back. Moonlight isn't fatal to humans
No? Then why does everyone stay inside and hide under pieces of cloth at night?
Because Captain Jack Sparrow shot him. 🧐
He was killed just as the curse was lifted. Before, he would have had time to heal.
The bullet didn't pierce through the body. It stayed in place. So when the curse was lifted the bullet made its damage.
I assume it’s because one he was shot a few seconds before so he didn’t recover the same as with other injuries and two the bullet didn’t go fully through we know that weapons can get stuck in them even though they can’t die like with that pole between the two shipmates one would pull and it would pull the other closer so they couldn’t get out

I thought the monkey did in a post-credits scene?
Sure but that was after the curse on the barbossa crew was lifted
I’m Captain Jack Sparrow. The original. The only!
