* IdiotBall: In the leadup to the final battle, Norrington has the bulk of his crew waiting outside of Isla de Muerta. As Pintel and Ragetti row by in their small ship, he apparently doesn't think it worth investigating why two random "women" in fine dresses and parasols are leaving a pirate hideout in the middle of the night, allowing Pintel and Ragetti to reach the Dauntless. Nor does Norrington notice the numerous shots fired (which are quite loud) aboard the Dauntless until after a bell is rung.

** The legend about UsefulNotes/HernanCortez at the story's background, which has Cortés receiving a gold tribute by the Aztecs and still callously slaughtering them, seems to be rather inspired by the conquest of the Inca by UsefulNotes/FranciscoPizarro, who did gain an immense rescue in gold for capturing their emperor Atahualpa and still ended up going back on his word and executing the man.[[note]]Surely a dishonourable decision, although not born of cruelty as in the movie, but desperation, as freeing Atahualpa would have meant to let him gather his armies to attack the Spaniards and his local allies (Pizarro had actually befriended Atahualpa and had to be pressed into executing him, and he cried upon doing so). No slaughter followed either, as Pizarro was in a precarious position on a largely intact Inca Empire and depended on politics to keep control.[[/note]] Cortés only conquered the Aztec Empire by allying with their ancestral enemies and their discontent imperial subjects, and by the point he was in position to attack the Aztec core, the conflict had devolved into total war and no diplomacy or tribute was possible anymore. Moreover, Cortés himself actually attempted to avoid any slaughter - it were rather his native allies who saw the chance to take revenge on their Aztec opressors and took it with massive gusto, never better said.
** The Aztecs of the movie delivered Cortés a chest full of round gold coins, but real life Aztecs didn't have anything of the like until after their Hispanicization. The closest to a native coin-like currency were small axe-shaped pieces named ''tajaderas'', which were also made of raw copper, not artistically wrought gold. In fact, the whole association between gold and currency was also introduced by the Spaniards, as up to that point Amerindians mostly used their gold to make ornaments and decorations.
