Corrected entry: This is more of an "out-of-character" plot hole. In the previous movie, Jack Sparrow was bent on acquiring the Flying Dutchman because he would be able to roam the seas forever. Yet, in this movie he philosophizes how he doesn't have the desire to live forever.

Corrected entry: Barbossa and Captain Jack Sparrow have been captured by the Spaniards and are each tied to a tree. Barbossa removes his wooden leg and lifts it high above his face in order to drink the liquid (presumably rum) that was concealed in the hollow top. Captain Jack then takes the wooden leg and holds it under his lips. He tilts it very slightly, then smacks his lips, but there is no way he could have gotten any rum from it in that position.
