Trivia:

The Black Pearl was never on the beach of the cannibal island. It's a model digitally added the the shots, complete with digital water splashes.

Goofs:

Factual errors: Jack uses a flintlock rifle to ignite the gun powder/rum in the net, however a lead ball used in this sort of rifle would cause no ignition at all. Even if the lead ball had struck one of the metal bands on a barrel, no spark would be created, hence no explosion.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Elizabeth Swann: Will! Why is this happening?
Will Turner: I don't know. You look beautiful.
Elizabeth Swann: I think it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding.
