Corrected entry: After Elizabeth has first seen the crew of the Black Pearl in the moonlight and she runs back to Barbossa who steps gradually into the moonlight to reveal himself in his skeleton form, his teeth change. The teeth on the skeleton Barbossa are noticeably straighter and whiter than his human form.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Will is trapped in the hold of the ship, before it blows up, you can see the emergency air hose between two planks of wood (possibly barrels, but they seemed pretty flat to me).
Correction: I looked really hard for this when I saw the film at the cinema for the second time, all I could see was a piece of rope.
Corrected entry: In general, sailors of both legitimate and illegal trades in that time period didn't know how to swim--for one, they thought it bad luck, and for another it was a waste of energy (if they went overboard at sea and the ship couldn't fetch them before they sank, they'd be dead before they could reach shore). Also, at the end, when Sparrow starts to swim to the Pearl, he does a freestyle (Australian Crawl) stroke. That method of swimming wasn't invented until the 1800's - it's called the Australian Crawl for a reason. Had he known how to swim, Sparrow would have done a breast stroke (hands in front, push forward and out) to get to his ship.
Correction: This doesn't mean that no pirate ever learned how to swim. It sounds like the kind of thing Jack would know, and as for him doing an Australian Crawl-- is it so hard to believe he could have come up with it on his own? People swim any way they want.
Corrected entry: How did Will know his father was dead? Sparrow had been dumped overboard prior to his death (because Turner had the cursed treasure, which was post-Sparrow), and I can't imagine Barbossa writing a letter of condolence to the boy and his mother.
Correction: He doesn't know, which is why he moved to the Caribbean to find his father.

Correction: Surely the point is that EVERYTHING about the cursed pirates, including clothing and facial hair, changes?
