Corrected entry: At the end of the movie Beckett is walking down the stairs of the ship while it's being blown to bits by the cannons from the 2 pirate ships. There's a close up slo-mo shot of the railing being destroyed as he walks down. The railing is consistently being blown up RIGHT behind his hands. The shot cuts away to a view from in-front of him and there's a good 3 feet between his hand and where the railing is broken.

Correction: That's right, there is a slow motion SIDE shot of the upper part of the stair railing being blown up *right* behind Beckett's hand, and then it cuts to a slow motion FRONT shot and the upper part of the stair railing is getting blown up once again. ALL of the action is seen from multiple angles and in dramatic slow motion. This is a deliberate and common filmmaking technique to show a single action or sequence repeatedly from several different angles, by 'turning back time' very slightly in some cases, to show the action from a different perspective. The railing being blown up is one of those cases. Another example is in 'LotR: The Two Towers' when Legolas surfs the stairs.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Barbossa retrieves his piece of eight from Ragetti, it pops out of his left eye. However in the scenes following he wears an eyepatch on his right eye and his left eye is normal.

Correction: Ragetti's wooden eye "pops out" of his right (viewer's left) eye socket and is consistent with the rest of the film.

Super Grover

Corrected entry: Just after Davy Jones kills Mercer, he descends the stairs to the main deck of the Flying Dutchman to find Jack Sparrow. As Jones comes down the stairs a gold chain can be seen hanging from his belt, but when he draws his sword (and in all following scenes) the chain is gone. It's not the string on the hilt of the sword because the string is too short.

Correction: Actually, it IS the cord with tassle that is dangling off the hand guard on the sword hilt. There is no "gold chain" hanging from his belt.

Corrected entry: In the scene nearing the end where they join up on the small island where Jack gets traded for Elizabeth, Davey Jone's shadow is the shape of a human.

Correction: On the sand pit, when Jack is traded for Will, not Elizabeth, the shadow that Jones casts on the sand has absolutely no distinctive characteristics that reveal it to be human or otherwise.

Corrected entry: Towards the end of the film a British soldier who picks up Norrington's Sword (Davy Jones then takes it from him and stabs him with it) is one of the soldiers who is later seen with his mate in pirate dress on the Black Pearl - completely uninjured.

Correction: Yes, Murtog and Mulroy have changed to pirate garb on the Pearl. However, the British soldier, who is stabbed by Jones on deck, is not Mulroy, though the man does resemble him.
