Still thinking about the 1st time I saw this scene (7yrs old at the time).
And when Jack goes: "Are you sure that's wise boy? Crossing blades with a pirate?"
I am just giddy, thinking: "You don't know who that is! Legolas is going to kick your butt!"
See, I didn't quite understand the whole: actors can play different roles thing, yet, but (somehow) I understood the concept of immortality from LoTR.
And despite there being a whole ass prolong at the beginning of Pirates where we see Will Turner as a kid, I was convinced that since Legolas was immortal, this was just him a thousand years later after the events of Lord of The Rings with a different name to hide who he really is.
As the movie went on, I eventually understood, but still, I'll never forget that moment my 7yrs old brain concepted some dramatic irony of the prince of Mirkwood being warned against fighting some wobbly guy in a hat.

The best scene in the entire Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise is one you've never seen.
Don't let yourself be fooled by the dialogue and slower pacing, this is a fight scene, as intense and intricate as any of the others. Perhaps moreso.
It's a battle, not of swords, but of wits and words, though the real battle isn't the game.
This scene not only demonstrates how cunning and threatening Jones is, but also how dangerous and clever Will has become since the first film.
In my opinion, the fact that we were given the shorter version of this scene is one of the greatest tragedies in cinematic history.
