Ok, I have a feeling I'll come up with lots of questions...
soo....
What was the significance of all the condemned prisoners singing a song, at the beginning?
Pirates 3 spoiler thread - *spoilers*
It was mentioned in passing a couple of times but was easy to miss the first time through. The first was when Barbosa gave a silver doubloon to Sao Feng in Singapore and Sao Feng listened to it, Barbosa said something like "you can hear that the song has been sung so it's time for the Brethren Court to meet". Apparently that song being sung by enough of the general pirate populace summons the court together, or something like that. Which would also explain why when they started to sing Beckett said "Finally", because it was his plan all along to bring the Pirate Lords together so he could take them down. Although there is one scene with Admiral Norrington where Becket doesn't seem to know many details about the pieces of eight, so he didn't know everything that was to happen. But he knew enough to know how to make them convene.
This is part of why I like the third movie, actually; it gets deeper into the strange mythos of the PotC world than ever before, and it all seems to string together in interesting ways.
