| 1 | * AwardSnub: The UsefulNotes/{{Academy Award}}s that year allowed write-in votes. Based on write-ins alone, Creator/MichaelCurtiz would have won the Oscar for best director, but on the night he lost to Creator/JohnFord for his work on ''Film/TheInformer''. Music/ErichWolfgangKorngold and writer Casey Robinson also failed to be properly nominated, though they both received large numbers of postal votes for their work. Creator/ErrolFlynn also failed to get a Best Actor nomination. |

| 7 | * InferredHolocaust: The film ends with Captain Blood appointed the new governor of the English colony on Jamaica, based out Port Royal, by the new king, William III. The revolution that brought William to the throne took place in 1688. Port Royal was [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Royal#Earthquake_of_1692_and_its_aftermath completely destroyed by an earthquake]] in 1692. |
| 8 | * NarmCharm: One must have a very hard heart not to smile at the film's Silent Era-style supertitles, including "Carving a Crimson Career"; "He began with nothing but a Ship, a Handful of Men -- and a Brain"; and "Blood!" '''"Blood!" "BLOOD!"''' in successively larger letters. |
