Well, I can see *why* it was cut. As it doesn't really further the plot a whole lot. It's mostly a character development thing. I'm bummed more as a fanficcer than as a fan. Because it doesn't really *hurt* the movie to not have it (unlike other films where they've cut stuff that would actually have helped clarify other scenes). But having that information as a ficcer gives you worlds more material to work with when writing.
Another cute tidbit. When Jack is sitting on the ship (as Elizabeth's falling off the cliff) talking to Murdoch and Mullroy (forgive misspellings there please) he says something about "And then they made me their chief." That's actually a different version of the story of him getting off the island. Supposedly he made friends with the cannibals on a neighboring island and they helped him off. Just another cute tidbit that can help a fanficcer out. :)
