Goofs

It is said that Salazar leaves one man alive to tell the tale, but during the first battle he kills the captain of the ship and only finds out Turner is below deck when he trips over a bucket. This means Salazar didn't know anyone else was on board when he killed the captain.

Quotes

Carina Smyth: Men on that ship are looking for Jack. And Jack is on this boat. I'm going to swim for it!
Captain Jack Sparrow: How dare you do exactly what I'd do if I were you?

Crazy Credits

A scene after the end credits shows Will and Elizabeth asleep when their bedroom is entered by a silhouette of Davy Jones. Will awakens and assumes this as a nightmare, but is oblivious to a few of Jones' tokens remaining.

Alternate Versions

The film's IMAX release presented the film open-matte, at an aspect ratio of 1.90:1, meaning there was more picture information visible in the bottom of the frame than in normal theaters and on home video.

User Reviews

totally forgettable movie

With poor plotting, inconsistent pacing and a rushed sense of chemistry amongst the new cast Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales exposes the swashbuckling sequel as nothing more than a cash-grab that's as hollow as the ships they occupy.
