Corrected entry: A lot of the movie is based on the fact that Will's blood is need to break the curse. You see Elizabeth's hand being cut. You see Jack cutting his hand before tossing his coin to Will. However, we never see that Will is bleeding. Did I miss something?
Correction: You can see a gash across Will's hand as he drops both coins into the chest.
Corrected entry: Will is caught under the deck hold as the water rises around him on the floundering Interceptor. But at least one deck below him the powder room, with its burning black powder, remains above the water line.
Correction: It's quite possible that since moisture ruins powder, that the whole powder room is sealed with pine gum or hot tar or wax and is nearly watertight.
Corrected entry: When they though that Elizabeth was a Turner and they needed her blood, she only got her hand cut. But when Will was about to shed his blood, it was his throat that was going to be cut. What's with the drastic change between the blood getting?
