This 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Blooper has Fans Laughing: How did a Cowboy End up Next to Jack Sparrow? (Photo)

Jack Sparrow sails — cowboy walks by, and it’s no metaphor.

Even the biggest box office giants have their oops moments. But one blooper in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl doesn’t spark outrage — it sparks laughter.

We’re used to Captain Jack Sparrow turning up in the most unexpected places, but what we don’t expect is… a cowboy in a white T-shirt.

Pirates of the Caribbean — and a time traveller?

There’s a romantic moment where Jack stands at the helm, gazing into the distance like a true seafarer. But look closely, and there in the background is a man in modern-day clothes: white tee, cowboy hat, and all.

He seems to have wandered in from the set of a western, casually staring out at the ocean like he’s waiting for a stagecoach. Fans joke he’s either a ghost from the future — or Jack’s had a bit too much rum again.

On Stranger Tides, still not flawless

Another blink-and-you’ll-miss-it mishap: during a chase scene in the muddy streets of London, tyre tracks are clearly visible in the ground. Jack Sparrow’s seen a lot in his day, but a car would’ve truly blown his mind.

Time goes on, the ships sail — and the bloopers keep bobbing to the surface.
