Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

Factual error: The governor of the island claimed the bank safe (roughly 2 meters square on a side and with walls about 13 cm thick) weighed "an imperial ton." A safe of this size would weigh nearly 22.5 imperial tons.

Factual error: The British Ship of the Line is flying a version of the British Union Jack that was not adopted until 1801. The story is supposed to take place between 1720 and 1750.

Continuity mistake: After the bald witch walks towards a wall with stars painted on them, there's a shot of Henry threatening Jack with his sword. The grip on the sword and the position of the arm are not continuous between shots.

Captain Salazar: Jack Sparrow... Do you know this pirate?
Henry: Only by name.
Captain Salazar: For too many years the Triangle has cursed us, condemned us to this Hell on Earth. The key to our escape is Jack Sparrow, and the compass which he holds. No, no. No need to fear, me boy. I always leave one man alive, to tell the tale. Find Sparrow for me and relay a message, from Captain Salazar.
Henry: Salazar.

Henry: Yes.
