The Cursed Crew of the Black Pearl is a group of pirates formerly led by Hector Barbossa in the 2003 Disney live-action film, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
Background[]
They were cursed to live forever as the undead do to greedily taking cursed Aztec gold from the chest of Cortez which was cursed by the heathen gods. They tried to take over the HMS Dauntless ship but after Jack Sparrow used his blood via cutting his hand and the last piece of the Aztec gold to lift the curse. The cursed crew became mortal again and arrested by James Norrington and his men. Most of Barbossa's crewmen were presumably hung at the gallows. However, only Pintel and Ragetti had survived and escaped.

Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island[]
Three cursed crew-mates appear in this attraction at Disneyland within Dead Man's Grotto. Firstly, an undead Pintel and Ragetti can be found within a treasure alcove where they protect their treasure. They can be heard talking with one another about scaring off guests with Pintel popping his head out and Ragetti' arm popping down to use his eyeball to spy on guests. Near the end of the grotto, another cursed pirate can be seen in shackles within a cell where he pleads with guests to free him. When the moon comes out in this scene, it reveals his cursed form.

They sail the Black Pearl (Sailing Ship Columbia) and fight Jack Sparrow while having Elizabeth Swann captive. They are ultimately defeated by the pair who commander the Pearl for themselves.
