Continuity mistake: Dwayne just barely survived his attempt to outdrink Captain Jack Parrot. Camille asks him "Do you actually remember anything?"

Same a few lines later when Camille asks "Is that it?"; she hunches over, but she is standing next to Dwayne without a single change once the quick cut is over. (00:35:25)

Continuity mistake: At the end of John Pithiou's dinner speech there is a close-up on the black butler. In that close-up, the collar of his vest flutters, shaken by the fan activated by the other slaves in the background.
