On Disc 2, go to 'Below Deck', 'Scene Index', then page 2. Highlight 'Types of Pirates' and press right and Enter to view the DVD Credits. [This is not an Easter egg. You can view the DVD credits anyway by just clicking down the normal way.]

Take a close look at Will's face just before Jack sprays him with soot during their fight. If you pause the movie you can see that Will's face is already dirty, probably from a previous take. [Seen frame by frame, in the first shot facing Jack, when Will's back is seen, Jack grabs the bag of soot, starts to squeeze it towards Will and plenty of soot begins to pour out into the air already. As the next shot opens, this time facing Will, there is soot in the air making this shot hazy and a large puff of soot right in front of him, so the soot has already started to settle on his face and body, and in the next frame more soot blankets him.]

Near the beginning of the movie when Jack Sparrow dives in to save the unconscious Elizabeth, the water around him is completely devoid of all life. However, when he is carrying her to the surface, there are fish swimming all over. Furthermore, the fish do not move like real fish; real fish would swim away from Jack. [Fish tend to be less scared when traveling in groups.]

In the scene where the Black Pearl and the Interceptor are battling head to head, the crew of the Interceptor have just dumped all their cannon balls and weaponry into the ocean to lighten their load, but when it shows Jack Sparrow sitting in the brig of the Pearl, a cannon ball blows through his cell and he shouts, "Stop blowin' holes in my ship." Where did they get cannon balls all of a sudden? [A cannon ball did not make that hole. Just as Gibbs says, "Case shot, langrage (which is shot that consisted of bolts and other pieces of iron), nails and crushed glass!" They also inserted forks, knives and spoons into the cannons. The force of the cannon fire propelled these things with enough strength to blast a hole in the wood. If you look at the brig cell that Jack leaves you will see a varied assortment of utensils embedded all around him.]

What suddenly makes Elizabeth the great expert on nautical affairs when they are being chased by the Black Pearl? I know it's to involve the actress in the scene, but really this is just silly. [Rubbish. Elizabeth has lived around a port and ships for at least half her life - there's every reason to expect that she'd be familiar with nautical affairs, particularly as it seems likely that Norrington has been a frequent visitor to the Swann household and would no doubt relate tales of his misadventures. And note that the real sailors on the crew do point out that her ideas are pretty out-there - sailing into dangerous areas and dropping the anchor while at full sail are not the suggestions of an experienced sailor.]

I know Jack was able to fold the handcuffs in half to slide down - but how did he get off? There must have been something the pole was attached to at the end... and he just drops off. Shouldn't he have hit something at the other end of the rope? [The handcuffs don't go over the rope with his hands on either side. If you watch closely, he throws the chain of the handcuffs over the top of the rope and then holds on to that as he slides down. Then, when he gets to the bottom, he simply lets go of the folded chain. It took a few times watching that scene to figure out how he did that. As for not hitting something at the end, the rope continues for a bit longer, to whatever it is tied to, but Jack simply lets go of the folded chain when he's near enough to the ground, and hits the ground running.]

In the scene where Captain Jack Sparrow rescues Elizabeth Swann from the water, when they are reaching the top of the sea after Jack has taken off her dress, you see his arms and legs moving but he isn't holding onto Elizabeth, but if she's unconscious how would she be able to hold on? [She is not holding on, but Sparrow draped her over his shoulder so she wouldn't have to hold on.]

When the Interceptor is trying to escape the Black Pearl, there's a shot of Barbosa from behind. Over his shoulder, there is a pirate dancing quite excitedly on the stern of the ship. [In the two shots over Barbossa's shoulder, who is himself at the stern of the Black Pearl, the pirate that is seen 'dancing' is actually hopping on one leg on the bow of the Pearl. He is not wearing his wooden leg in these shots. This pirate is portrayed by an individual who really is missing a leg.]

The black, dread-locked pirate with the white cross on his face loses his arm to the Governor in the assault on the Dauntless. The Governor then continues to fight with this dismembered arm, but we later see the same Pirate with two arms when Norrington joins the attack. Am I right, or does a different Pirate lose his arm? And why does no one continue to fight with Swan after after he lops off their arm. [It is not Koehler's arm that Governor Swann hacks off, it is another unknown pirate's arm. The other pirates are distracted as they fight with the Marines aboard Dauntless and trying to fend off Norrington and his men who are approaching Dauntless from the boats in the water.]

In the blacksmith's shop, you can tell that the donkey is attached to the huge gear above it. However, when Jack and Will are fighting around the large post in the center, the gear is turning, but the donkey is no where to be seen. [The post Jack and Will fight around is the post of the *second* gear in the shop. The first overhead gear is turned by the donkey, and this gear then turns the one that Jack and Will are fighting around. The donkey can be seen several times during the fight at screen's edge, where the first gear is.]

When Jack first enters the blacksmith shop, and sees the old man sleeping, he walks up and says "WHOA." You can see that the chain of beads on his headwrap stays securely in place as if it were glued there. However, throughout the rest of the sword fighting scene you can see it moving and swaying as Jack moves around. [Actually, the headwrap beads don't move in the scene at all, except for the coin on the end. This is true even when Jack is hanging from the rafter, trying to loose the sword, and when he turns a backward somersault after falling from the same rafter when the sword does come loose.]

Elizabeth (as a little girl) sees the boy (young William Turner) floating on some driftwood and says calls for help. When Turner is determined to be alive, the Commodore puts Elizabeth in charge of his well being. While looking at him, she spies the medallion on the chain around his neck and realises it's the mark of a pirate. The Commodore comes up behind Elizabeth and asks if the boy is feeling okay (or something to this effect) Elizabeth spins around and hides the medallion behind her back till the commodore leaves. Now, she didn't break the chain, nor did she lift his head up to remove it. When she spins around, the chain is mysteriously off his neck with no effort on her part. [Watch her holding the chain in her left hand as she picks it up. It appears as though she is unclasping it when the camera changes to show her face. You can hear the sound of the chain sliding before it changes to show it in her hand, unclasped. Plenty of time for her to undo it.]

When young Will is rescued in the beginning, he wakes up and talks for a few moments. When he passes out again, the sound of his head hitting the blanket covered wood can be heard an instant before it actually hits. [His head is rotating, so it is not possible to judge whether or not the sound occurs before it hits, or if it simply appears that way because he is turning his head.]

In the opening scene, the line that keeps the umbrella that is floating in the water pointed straight up is visible in the shot of the umbrella floating past the side of the ship. [There is no line visible, either in real time or watching frame by frame.]

In the scene where Jack is getting arrested after saving Elizabeth, Norrington looks at Jack's compass and says "...a compass that doesn't point north..." and a clicking sound is made as though the compass has been closed. But if you watch the compass, it doesn't close when the sound is made. [There are two clicking noises: the first is made when the compass is snapped open, therefore the compass is not supposed to be closed. When the second click is heard, after Norrington says "doesn't point north...", Norrington moves the compass down and out of the frame, as if to flip it closed. It isn't until a moment after the compass disappears from view that the click closed is heard, so there is no way this can even be seen.]

When Jack walks off the plank he has shoes on, when he's swimming down to the bottom of the ocean he doesn't, and when his toe hits a rock he does. [This is wrong. As 'Jack' (Tony Angelotti) swims down, the silhouette of his boots, especially the top of his boots, are seen. The boots in this shot have a very low heel.]

During the attack on Port Royal Orlando comes out ready to fight with a sword in one hand and an axe in the other which he throws into the back of a pirate who drops dead. I thought the pirates could not die? [The pirate doesn't die. That is why Will is shocked when the pirate throws the bomb at him later. The pirate actually just got knocked over from the force of the blow.]

Just before Will runs down the stairs at the prison, to ask Jack where the Black Pearl is, Jack is trying to pick the lock with a bone fragment. When Will appears, Jack leaves the bone in the lock, and we see it once more, when Will says, "You. Sparrow." However, when the lock is shown again, as Jack and Will shake hands, the bone is not in the lock anymore. [A bone does not fit a lock like a key, and it could have loosened and fallen out at any time. As pointed out previously, Will grabs the door in anger. He could also have brushed against the bone and loosened it, any number of things.]

A lot of the movie is based on the fact that Will's blood is need to break the curse. You see Elizabeth's hand being cut. You see Jack cutting his hand before tossing his coin to Will. However, we never see that Will is bleeding. Did I miss something? [You can see a gash across Will's hand as he drops both coins into the chest.]

Ragetti has a wooden eye. He is always complaining how much the eye is irritating him by splintering and itching. The pirates are under the curse. It would be impossible for him to feel anything, in this case, it should not itch. [It's been established that although the pirates do not feel pleasure, they do react to pain and discomfort, such as itching. This could be part of the curse.]
