Trivia
The British Navy would not have promoted a man to "Commodore" as a rank. Commodore was a distinction held as a temporary post when a post-Captain commanded more than one ship at a time and was given the privilege of wearing a Vice Admiral's coat only for the duration of the commission. After the mission set out by the Admiralty was completed the rank reverted to post-Captain.
Quotes
Young Elizabeth:
Yo, ho, yo, ho/ a pirate's life for me/ Yo, ho, yo, ho/ it's a pirate's life for me/drink up me hearties, yo, ho...
Mr. Gibbs:
Quiet, missy! Cursed pirates sail these waters. You want to call them down on us?
Norrington:
Mr. Gibbs, that will do!
Mr. Gibbs:
She was singing about pirates...
Goofs
(at around 1h 28 mins) When Jack escapes from the brig on the Black Pearl and stands on the side of the ship, the rope netting is on his left. Then when there is a close-up of him taking the rope from the swinging pirate, the rope netting is on his right-hand side, then switches back. This is because the geography of the boat did not quite work out and so the close-up shot was reversed later in editing.
Crazy Credits
On the 2-disc collector's edition,"Film Visual Effects Producer and Film Animation Supervisor" are both missing the F's in their credit.
Alternate Versions
During the swordfight in the caves at the Isla del Muerta, there is additional dialogue with Jack and Barbossa. Seconds after the swordfight begins, Barbossa says, "Damn it, Jack! I was almost liking you!" and Jack sweetly replies, "I know," and the swordfight continues. This is featured on Disk 2 of the DVD, but not as a deleted/extended scene.
