Factual error: The formal title of the East India Trading Company is the Honourable East India Company or HEIC; official merchandise provided by said company would not be affixed merely with the letters EIC but rather HEIC.
Suggested correction: Not true, the official historic merchant's mark of the company literally shows EIC as an abbreviation.
Continuity mistake: When the huge water wheel rolls to the beach and falls on its side, it falls with the broken, wide, wood side of the axle facing up. However, as Will and Norrington climb out, inexplicably it's the slim side of the water wheel's axle that is now facing up. But in a following shot, it is the other way round again. (01:52:22)
Jack Sparrow: Why is the rum always gone?
[Walks a short distance groggily.]
Jack Sparrow: Oh - that's why.
Trivia: The rings worn by Jack Sparrow are not mere props, but rings that Johnny Depp actually owns. After completing the first film and learning of the second and third installments, Depp actually bought several rings specifically for the Pirates films. Another one of the rings he wears is actually a replica of an antique ring he owns.
Question: Exactly what is the purpose of the jar of dirt that Tia Dalma gives to Jack?
Answer: The jar was to put Davy Jones heart in. He can't touch dirt ever again since he failed to keep up his duties which means he wouldn't be able to get his heart back.
Chosen answer: Davy Jones cannot set foot on land for ten more years. The jar of dirt is to represent land. Jack carries it with him so that he always has land with him so Davy Jones won't be able to get near him, or so Jack is supposed to believe.
