Trivia:

During the course of the movie Elizabeth claims to have learned swordsmanship from Will. Later on she pulls a sword stunt hitting two enemies backwards which was actually played by Orlando Bloom as Legolas in "Lord of the Rings".

Goofs:

Factual errors: Gibbs hints to Will that the crew's bone cages were made from the bones of the Pearl's missing crew members. However, those same bones are far too large to be human. The bones are also too aged to have been made from the rest of the crew.

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.

This second outing allows Will to show his magnificent and exceptional leadership abilities and once again his undaunted bravery and love for Elizabeth. The music to accompany the action is fantastic. Hans Zimmer does a magnificent job capturing the power of the movie. The soundtrack is driven and epic in nature to support the grandness of the movie.
