The scene where Will impersonates Jack was devised by Orlando Bloom (Will) who asked the producer if he could put it in the movie.

Johnny Depp uses the phrase "Interesting..." as his trademark, in many of the movies he stars in, including Sleepy Hollow. He uses it in PotC when Koehler's skeletal hand tries to grab him in prison.

Jack's pistol is the only authentic 18th century pistol in the movie. Director Gore Verbinski requested it especially because of the importance of the prop. The rest are made by a propmaster.

Be sure to stay through the credits, at the end there is an interesting scene.

On the day when Keira Knightley had to kiss Orlando Bloom during filming lots of the members of the cast brought their teenage daughters to the set. As Keira and Orlando were kissing all the girls were giving her evil glares so in a Behind the Scenes special, Keira apologized to all the girls who are obsessed with Orlando.

The final time the cannon goes off when the Black Pearl crew are ransacking the town where Will and Elizabeth live, the smoke cloud across the moon forms a Mickey Mouse silhouette.

In the sword fight scene between Jack and Will, the tattoo Orlando Bloom (Will) got while filming "Lord of the Rings" can be seen on his right forearm when they stop for a moment and his arm is in the air, blocking Jack's sword with his own.

In the scene where Will Turner gives Governor Weatherby Swann the Commodore's sword, the sword-flipping done by Will took fifteen takes, because Orlando Bloom (who played Will) kept dropping the sword. On DVD 1, Director's commentary.

As the Interceptor is pulling away from the Dauntless, in the wide shot there are still ropes between the two ships. The camera crew were caught off guard, since the sails were full, the Interceptor started pulling away sooner than expected, pulling the ropes taut, ripping off the belaying pins. Johnny Depp (Jack) was hit hard in the knee with one of those pins and knocked him to the ground. It was the only shot the camera crew had of Interceptor actually pulling away. On screen, in the close-up, Will is seen cutting all the lines. Commentary, DVD. Submitted by Rikki

The Aztec chest that the medallions are in is the same chest used in *Raiders of the Lost Ark*.

Elizabeth falling off the Fort was filmed on set, South of Los Angeles. Jack diving off the ship to rescue her was filmed in the Caribbean and he actually rescuing Elizabeth, was filmed in a tank in Long Beach, California. There are thousands of miles between just those three consecutive shots. Similar circumstances with Elizabeth walking the plank and surfacing, both in the Caribbean but with a few days between shots. On the commentary, Jack Davenport (Norrington) mentions Keira Knightley's (Elizabeth) little-known ability to hold her breath for two days. Submitted by Rikki

One of Barbossa's pirates has a beard with dreadlocks that's always on fire in the film. There is wire with copper sockets in the ends of the dreads, where they would insert incense and burn it for the smoking effect. After every take they would have to reinsert incense and relight his beard. During the sword play, the locks in his beard would flop around, causing it to possibly burn himself or someone else, or even light up the rest of his beard. Submitted by Rikki

In the blacksmith shop, Jack lifts up a sack filled with soot and sprays Will all over his face with it. The soot is actually chocolate powder, so in other words it was a chocolate covered Will! Submitted by Rikki

After filming, Johnny Depp had a permanent tattoo of a sparrow done on his arm "for my boy". It's the same as the one seen in this film, except the sparrow was flying away from him, so he turned it around so it was coming back. Submitted by Jon Sandys

Johnny Depp wears contacts in the movie. But they are not for changing his eye colour or anything, they are actually darkly tinted to act like sunglasses so Depp wouldn't have to squint when they were filming in the sun.

When Barbossa and Jack are skeletons in the moonlight, their eyeballs were really theirs. It was the only part of their bodies which was not CGI-animated. Audio commentaries. Submitted by Rikki

Part of the line "Shame about the French, really, obsessed with raisins. Humiliated grapes, really," said by Jack in a deleted scene, is similar to a line used in Johnny Depp's other film, "Benny and Joon" (1993).

In one of the deleted scenes on the DVD where Jack and the pirates are improvising about the French ("They invented mayonnaise"), his last line in the clip is "I'll get me coat." This is a reference to "The Fast Show," which featured a guest appearance by Johnny Depp (Jack) in its final show.

The leather cuff Jack wears in the movie is based on one that Johnny Depp wore in another one of his movies. The costume designer rented all of his movies and watched them in order to duplicate the exact leather cuff Johnny wanted.

After we see the Disney ride scene at the jail, where the pirates are trying to get the dog to come near them with a bone, Jack Sparrow says to the pirates "You can keep doing that forever, that dog is never going to move." Besides the obvious visual reference to the ride, the line's relevant too - as in the Disney ride, the pirates *will* keep doing that forever, and the dog *is* never going to move.
