Over the years its been reported that Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean fire effects were so realistic local fire marshalls insisted an auto-shutoff in case of a real fire be installed.
Once again firefighters have encountered Pirates special effects magic as they reported to a “fire” at an Australian Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides billboard.
The billboard features an image of Captain Jack Sparrow with outstretched arms and flintlock pistols that puffed smoke. According to the Australian news report presented below firefighters were unimpressed with advertisement’s special effects.
