JACK SPARROW MOVIE
A deleted scene from the third movie suggests that the whole reason he ended up branded a pirate in the first place was because he refused to transport slaves and set them free instead.Stage a rescue for Gibbs who's about to hang? Be captured and sentenced to hang yourself.

Save a friend, Will, from a fatal wound? Lose a chance for immortality because it was used to save the friend.Though, granted him trying to slither out of a deal with Davy Jones was the only reason it was following them in the first place. Come back to save his crew from the Kraken? Get left behind and devoured by it.Refuse to Just Shoot Will because he's blocking the door and unarmed? Get bashed in the head by his drunk, loser boss.Rescue Elizabeth from drowning? Sentenced to hang for being a pirate.Being Good Sucks: One of the patron saints of this trope, as No Good Deed Goes Unpunished when you're Captain Jack.

Badass Normal: He holds his own against supernatural beings through a combination of fighting skill, guile, and a little bit of luck.Badass Longcoat: Often wears a knee-length leather coat, and is both a competent swordsman and an excellent marksman.Bad Habits: "Impersonating a cleric of the Church of England." He must have fond memories of that scheme because it's the only one he chuckled at before his hanging.Back from the Dead: Jack is eaten by the Kraken at the end of the second film, and his resurrection is a major plot point in the third film.The Artful Dodger: His first scene in the first movie ends with him bribing a dock worker to get out of giving his name, and then stealing the bribe and more before leaving.He often brings it upon himself "That one I deserved". Armor-Piercing Slap: Very often at the receiving end of one, sometimes in succession.One of his doppelgänger hallucinations in Davy Jones' locker makes romantic advances on a goat. Anything That Moves: In his subconscious at least.Anti-Hero: He will always do the right thing in the end, and he doesn't like unsavory methods of living forever, but he is still a manipulative, treacherous and at times even rude fellow.When stranded on an island with Elizabeth in the first film, he was more upset about her destroying the rum in a huge bonfire than the shade or the food. This tends to leave his crew without a single coin by the end of every adventure. While he likes the more romantic aspects of piracy like the freedom, the endless alcohol, and the search for treasure, he dislikes the things that actually make piracy a lucrative profession: killing, pillaging, and kidnapping. This is less for personal reasons than the fact that Jack is a pirate In Name Only.
