* DisabledBadass: When Blind Pew extinguishes the lights, he's deadly with his sword, killing an entire ''barroom'' of thugs.

* IAmAHumanitarian: Yellowbeard, at least when trying to get rid of maps.

* BuxomIsBetter: Middle-aged Lady Lambourn's curtsy gives Yellowbeard a long look at her breasts, enticing him to ravish her in the shrubbery. She doesn't seem to mind, however.

* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks: Played with when Betty is taken captive by the Royal Navy and pumped for information offscreen. When she's ready to talk, she says, "I think it was that shark that jogged my memory." [[spoiler:"The Shark" is the handsome sailor (David Bowie) who brings her into the office, and who has a shark's fin strapped to his back; he "jogged her memory" via sex.]]

* AdvertisedExtra: Beryl Reid gets prominent billing in the opening credits, but Lady Lambourn only appears in two brief scenes.
