Corrected entry: The East India Trading Company's flag actually looked a WHOLE lot like a US flag - red and white stripes, with a field of blue in the upper left corner. See the Wikipedia article for "British East India Company" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_East_India_Company) for several examples.

Correction: The East India Trading Company in the movie is fictional. It is modeled on the real-life Honourable East India Company that was based in Britain. Therefore, the flags would be different. Also, the Honourable East India Company's flag is red and white with a red cross in the corner, although earlier versions had the British Union Jack in the upper corner, which contained blue.

Corrected entry: There is no way that twenty or so people running back and forth on the deck of a ship can make it capsize. Even if the cannons and cargo were cut loose, and the ship were rolling it would all fall over to one side of the ship and just stay there, and so would the ship. It wouldn't be able to roll back.

Correction: Under normal circumstances a ship could not be overturned in this way, but they are not in the living world; they are in Davy Jones Locker. Sao Feng's navigational chart has revealed that there is an escape route from the Locker by capsizing a ship, therefore it is indeed possible to overturn a vessel in this manner.

Corrected entry: In the first movie, it's established anyone under the Aztec gold's curse cannot eat anything for it will turn to ash. However Barbossa is able to feed Jack the monkey (who is still cursed) a peanut, and he consumes it properly.

Correction: The monkey doesn't realize it can't eat, it just knows it's hungry and demands a treat. Barbossa uses peanuts as a way to dote on his beloved pet. Also, it may take a few moments before the food turns to ash in its mouth, and it would probably only encourage the monkey to want more.

Corrected entry: In the scene where you see the ship sailing through the snow and icebergs, it shows the snowflakes are lightly falling randomly which indicate there is no wind, yet the ship is sailing as if there was a lot of wind. If there was a lot of wind shouldn't the snow be falling in the same direction as the ship is sailing?

Correction: Ships travel by strong ocean currents as well as wind. They are also approaching World's End, a rather unusual (and magical) geographical location where the normal laws of physics would not apply.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Jack is fighting with himselves, he runs his sword though one of himselves. As he withdraws the sword, there is no blood anywhere on the blade. When the shot changes to him wiping the blade with his hand and on the boat's timber, there is blood now visible on the blade.

Correction: There is no blood because Jack is hallucinating the other Jacks. Davy Jones' Locker is an unreal world where his normal perceptions have been drastically altered.
