Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Blackbeard's Jolly Roger featured a devil-horned skeleton holding a cup and spearing a heart, not a flaming skull.

When Jack's hands are tied and he tries to sip from the hollow peg leg, he can't raise it very high and there is a sound like slurping.

But Barbossa has already raised it much higher and taken a long drink.

There should be nothing in the top inch to slurp.

Barbossa's ship, the HMS Providence, flies a version of the Union Flag (aka the Union Jack) that was not adopted until 1801.

The flag used by the Kingdom of Great Britain during the reign of George II comprised the cross of St.

Andrews surmounted by the cross of St.

George; the cross of St.

Patrick was not added until the flag was updated in 1801.

King George II was German.

He learned English when the family became heirs to the British throne.

Most probably he spoke with a German accent, but not necessarily because education in different European languages by teachers from the respective countries was common for noble house in those days.

When Gibbs appears in the courtroom, he is dirty in appearance.

When Gibbs and Jack are in the back of the jail carriage, Gibbs is all cleaned up.

Then later, you see him dirty again.

When Blackbeard threatens Jack with a pistol, he is heard cocking it, but when he holds it up to the camera we can see that it is only on half-cock.

A pistol cannot be fired in the half-cock position, nor can it be loaded in the fired position, implying that either it is not loaded, or a technical error has been made by the film makers.

In the courtroom scene, the judge uses a gavel (the small hammer).

These are not, and have never been, used in British courts.

When Jack fights the impostor, they are roughly the same height, but when the impostor is revealed to be Angelica, she is suddenly about half a head shorter than him.

When the Spaniard stomps on the silver chalices, it creates broken gaps from where the cups' walls meet their silver rims.

Later, when Angelica takes a sip from a chalice, you can clearly see she drinks from a section that is broken.

Any liquid in the cup would pour out of the gap before it reached her lips.

In the last scene when Jack and Angelica are talking, her hair is pulled back behind her left ear when shot from behind but it is over her ear when shot from the front.

In the final scene between Jack Sparrow and Angelica, her hair moves around between shots.

When the camera is over her left shoulder, on Jack, the left side of her neck / shoulder is visible, as well as the earring in her left ear, but from all other camera angles, her neck and the left earring are complete hidden from view by her hair.

Theodore Groves is referred to in both dialogue and the credits as "Lieutenant Commander".

However, this rank wasn't created in the British Navy until 1877, and 'On Stranger Tides' is apparently set in the 1740s.

Groves can only be a Lieutenant or a Commander, with the latter being more likely in serving as second-in-command to an Privateer Admiral (Barbossa).

When Barbossa notices the Spaniards' ship, the Spaniards are very close to them, as there is a man in the crow's nest.

He should have been notified of the Spaniards much earlier.

When Jack escapes from the Spaniards, he first drops coconuts from the top of a palm, knocking out one soldier who falls to the ground, near the palm.

In the following shots of him incapacitating all the soldiers, there is nobody on the ground there.

When Jack wakes up on the Queen Anne's Revenge, the beads and bone that he wears in his hair are reversed.

In the very next shot, they both return to their correct position.

When Blackbeard holds a pistol on Jack Sparrow at the top of the cliff, its frizzen (the metal the flint strikes against) is open and could never fire; in the next shot, the frizzen is closed.

Jack and Angelica jump into the Thames to escape King George's soldiers, and are shown swimming in clear water.

The River Thames of the 1740s was a slurry of waste and a fall into the water could - and often did - kill.

Mechanical tuners were not used for mandolins until early in the 19th century.

Peg tuners were the standard.

Following Jack Sparrow's arrest in London, the guards drag Jack across the hall.

However, The march sound does not match the pace of the two guards footsteps.

When Jack is running up to the lighthouse a mermaid is seen taking his sword he is later seen using his sword without getting it back from the mermaid.

When Gibbs is being threatened by Barbossa, there is a "dead" man behind him.

At one point, you can see the man blink.

When Phillip takes off his shirt to give it to Syrena, a smallpox vaccination is visible on his upper right arm.

Although smallpox vaccinations were not available in the 1700s, various forms of inoculation were used as early as 1720.

In the palace escape scene we see Jack cartwheel over a chair.

In this shot we can glimpse a candle on the floor that was knocked over, not lit.

In a later shot, we see the same candle alight.

At the end of the movie Barbossa becomes captain of the Queen Anne's Revenge.

We see him ripping up a letter twice, thus the letter would be in four pieces.

We see a shot of the pieces flying away in the wind, however there are many more than four.

When the Spanish gatecrash the fight at the Fountain of Youth and the British officer makes his stirring speech while holding the Union Flag (the anachronous nature of which has already been covered), he's holding the flag upside down.

When Blackbeard pulls out his pistol and points it at Jack Sparrow when he refuses to jump off of the cliff, the flintlock mechanism on Blackbeard's pistol is not ready to be fired.

Tire tracks from camera equipment visible during chase scenes in London.

When Phillip begins to carry Syrena, the leaves an dirt on her legs changes dramatically between shots.

In London, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) escapes from the soldiers that are chasing him and learns that an impostor is recruiting a crew and a vessel using his name. He meets the impersonator and finds that she actually is Angelica (Penélope Cruz), a woman that he had seduced in a convent in Seville.

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise takes the oddball, zany adventures of early Hollywood pirate movies ("The Black Pirate", "Captain Blood", "The Buccaneer", "The Sea Hawk", "The Black Swan", "Captain Kidd", "Hornblower", "Blackbeard", "The Crimson Pirate", "Fairwind to Java") and spins them off into even wackier territory. Indeed, much of the joys of the first three films were in watching the various tales and characters veer off into increasingly mad, busy and nonsensical avenues.

El encanto de Jack Sparrow es indudable. Justo es reconocerlo: se trata de mérito de Johnny Depp.

I wasn't drawn into this as much as the other movies. I hope they won't make more, it will spoil the series.

This movie was awesome it was my first seeing a Pirates Of The Caribbean movie in theaters and I love it this movie is my second favorite of all the saga yet.

Pirates of the Caribbean is my best movie and this last episode is also a great part too.so many things changed in this part but quality never changed and i can say this part perfect too.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES – CATCH IT ( B+ ) Pirates of the Caribbean returns with another Jack Sparrow's mystical venture. It introduces some interesting new characters and stories, the characters are enjoyable but the screenplay is loose.

El cambio de director le ha caído bastante mal a la saga "Piratas del Caribe", pues esta cuarta parte ha bajado considerablemente el interesante nivel que poseía la misma.Rob Marshall nos ofrece una película muy simplona y previsible en su historia, la cual no posee ningún factor sorpresa ni subtramas que hagan del relato algo más interesante y llevadero.
