Whether it stems from franchise fatigue or simply a marketing campaign that hasn’t quite been penetrative enough, I feel like the awareness and general excitement for PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES has gotten kind of lost in the summer shuffle amid beefy car drivers and comic book superheroes.

Whatever the case may be, Disney today has released a fun new, action-filled clip depicting Jack Sparrow getting out of a jam like only he can. Check it out below.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES opens May 20th.

Synopsis: When Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with the enigmatic Angelica, he’s not sure if it’s love — or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard, Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know whom to fear more: Blackbeard or Angelica, with whom he shares a mysterious past.
