Pirates of the Caribbean Movie Swords are Still Popular.
One of the most beloved series of movies to come out in recent years was actually based on a ride in a theme park. Pirates of the Caribbean took the world by storm – much to the surprise of some naysayers, who thought Disney was making a blunder. I had always thought the movies would do well – you can’t really ever go wrong with Johnny Depp; and Orlando Bloom was already a bona fide star from the first Lord of the Rings film. The story too had a lot to do with the popularity of the movies. However, something happened that I had not anticipated – I didn’t realize that they would be making replicas of the movie swords. I should have known this – they make replicas of weapons from just about every type of movie today. I also didn’t anticipate how well they would sell. It seems like everyone wants to be Captain Jack Sparrow!
