Antoher KH2 mention[edit]

Norrington is not the only person to be mentioned in Kingdom Hearts II, Bootstrap Bill Turner is also mentioned in Kingdom Hearts II by his son Will Turner when talking to Elizabeth inside of the Interceptor after leaving Isla De Muerta.

OK, I´ve corrected this.

Guybrush Threepwood's costume?[edit]

I was just wondering if the similarity between Guybrush's costume in Monkey Island 2 and Norrington's costume in Dead Man's Chest should be mentioned? The blue coat, the beard, etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.29.47.113 (talk) 07:09, 24 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Original research. Sorry. Dac 07:28, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At Worlds' End novelisation[edit]

Can someone confirm that his death - which a user has said is confirmed in the novelisation of the third film - is correct? Tphi

Well, we have two interpretations of Norrington's death: one where Bootstrap kills him, and another where soldiers kill him. For now, I suggest we go with the Bootstrap one (it came from a leaked script). Jienum 17:50, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From a quote I read online from the novelisation, it merely states that soldiers "descend" on him - not confirming death at all. And the script where he's run through by Bootstrap was only the a first draft for budgeting. It doesn't, for instance, include the now confirmed kiss between him and Liz. Tphi 19:40, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sao Feng being blown away by a cannonball was only the first draft, but that ended up in the film according to the featurette "Characters". I think the Bootstrap/Norrington duel is the more reliable one, since novelisations often differ from their specific movies (see X-Men 3 for example). Jienum 21:40, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Norrington is killed by Bootstrap, but not in a duel. Norrington is in the midst of helping Elizabeth and the other pirates escape when Bootstrap discovers them and yells that the prisoners are escaping. Norrington has a chance to kill Bootstrap and escape to The Empress, but he for some reason chooses not to do so, and instead shoots the line that connects The Empress to The Flying Dutchman, thus ensuring Elizabeth's escape but sealing his own fate in the process. Before he can turn to face Bootstrap, Bootstrap stabs him through the stomach. Are we not allowed to start new sections on the James Norrington page? Because I put a bunch of information (albiet partially speculation) on there about him possibly returning from the dead and now its gone. At any rate, does anyone else think that he might return (based on evidence from the third movie)? PiratadelCaribe ?, 28 May 2007

Will may bring him back from World's End. He's the new captain of the Dutchman and it's now "Will Turner's Locker". LOL! Jienum 16:19, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Will Turner's Locker... nope, still don't have the same ring to it, mate. *cracks up, that's something JACK'd say lol* BlackPearl14 ^[talkies!^•^contribs!] 01:31, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Norrington's sword[edit]

His sword has been an important plot device throughout the three films, though I have to admit while watching the third I got a little confused as to who had it when after poor Norrie passed it on to Jones. If anyone can remember who had it when, I think this article needs to mention it. Tphi 15:26, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's quite clear that it was Will and Will alone who made that sword, as he was an accomplished swordsmith and his master was a useless drunk. Will's reactions at Governor Swans praise of the sword as well as Norringtons words at the end of how the one who made it was to have that kind of care and devotion in every aspect leaves little doubt that will was the swords creator. elder

Agreed Tphi 23:49, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(spolier for AWE)

Ok I saw the movie a few weeks ago, so the memory is a bit shady, but didn't Will end up getting stabbed by that sword? It's funny how many times its exchanged hands. (P.s. Norrington's death was complete stupidity)

Yes, it was the sword that killed Will (as stated above and on the Sword's section in the article. And yes, it was complete stupidity. Please sign your posts! Tphi 23:26, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Will wasn't killed by the sword, he was only fatally wounded. Emperor001 00:44, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Though Will was stabbed by this sword, this article is wrong because the sword crossed with Elizabeth's sword in the sand at the end of the film is NOT Norrington's smallsword; it's just a stock Pirate cutlass. This statement in the article is false and should be removed. --Seth

Steve Coogan[edit]

Is it me or does he look strikingly similar to Steve Coogan, who played Alan Partridge?

Wikipedia isn't the place for fan chat. And please sign your comments. ^{(Though to be honest, no he doesn't. Norrington's far fitter.)} Tphi 01:09, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Admiral[edit]

Why does the article say "Admiral of the East India Trading Company"? Admiral is a military rank, not the rank of a company. Shouldn't it say Admiral of the Royal Navy and employee of the East India Trading Company or something like that? Emperor001 21:43, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is this meant to be here, or is someone trying to be funny?[edit]

In the appearance section of the article it says something like 'James Norrington looks like an ice cream cone!!' I was just wondering if someone should edit this out or is it meant to be there. There's also something similar about the sword. Just thought something like that wasn't really up to encyclopedia standards...

Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.38.111 (talk) 20:48, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it was all vandalism of some sort. I’ve taken care of it ☺ BlackPearl14 ^{Pirate Lord-ess} 01:46, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, he/she's gotten two final warnings in August. Someone want me to block him/her from the Admin panel? BlackPearl14 ^{Pirate Lord-ess} 04:48, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know this is a while later, but I've found the person (people actually) on a forum: they're just a bunch of Jack Davenport/James Norrington fangirls. Ehh. BlackPearl14 ^[talkies!^•^contribs!] 01:32, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deckhand?[edit]

Where in the triology was mentioned that James Norrington was ever on board of the Black Pearl. He was officer of the Royal Navy and not a Pirate.

I remove the given note on that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.177.124.101 (talk) 19:01, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
