Fluch der Karibik is the German title for Pirates of the Caribbean, and the second film, Dead Man's Chest, was released in 2006 as the follow-up to The Curse of the Black Pearl. Its adventurous orchestral score helped define the series, and short excerpts have circulated widely online as shorthand for pirate adventures, daring escapes and over-the-top entrances. Because the theme is instantly recognisable and works without dialogue, creators continue to reuse it for edits, memes and gaming clips long after the film's original release.
