I'm not sure exactly what you were implying by this, but I feel I must do a small bit of defending. I can vouch for the fact that the police, at least in my city, have very high grooming standards. Not only does your hair have to be cut and kept a specific way, known tattoos covered (Which makes sense), no jewelery visible (except a wedding ring and watch) but the uniform itself is also closly looked at. You have to pay constant attention to what it known as your 'gig line'. This means that the buttons on your uniform must line up with your belt buckle, that must line up with your zipper. Also, your patches must be burned a special way so as to prevent fraying, and the loose strings on your buttons cut. It's all a huge pain in the butt really, but when everyone is dressed as one, it does look rather sharp. OKay, I'm done. Can't think of anything that hasn't been mantioned yet.

I'm well aware of how many police agencies set their rules, but my reference was leaning more toward the military of today. Uniformity is the key and is drummed into everyone. It's no small trick getting and keeping one's uniform and kit squared away. The Army regulation (AR 670-1, to be specific) is very detailed about uniform wear and appearance. For the time period covered by the movies, such regulations were laid down by the Admiralty in their Standing Orders. |

I only just noticed that the British flag is old style as it doesn't have Wales on it, and started to wonder why undead pirates' clothes disappear in moonlight, I don't get that really, it's really random in what disappears and what doesn't, and it changes each time as to what stays and what doesn't sometimes, if anyone has an answer for that it'd be most welcome.

I like the idea of the painting being Elizabeth's mother. ![]()
Oh yeah, that guy. He always distracts me. But he makes me laugh, so it's all good.Something which I'm sure has been noticed before, but not by me... Presumably Barbossa and crew went to slice Will up right away when they came to the Isla de Muerta, yeah? I mean, all these years, and they could finally lift the curse. And yet the Dauntless arrives seemingly only an hour or two later, while the Pearl - by all accounts the fastest ship in the Caribbean - left the godforsaken spit of land more than a night sooner. 'Tis a strange thing, to be sure... It makes me wonder if Jack maybe was prepared for the mutiny more than we think, and told Barbossa a strange roundabout way of getting to the Isla. That way if there was a mutiny Jack still had some small chance of getting to the Isla first, and yet if nothing bad happened they'd still get to the Isla, just a little later. (OK, so it was just a goof... Shhht!) |

Seriously. I mean, not only that, but after the Pearl picked up Liz in Port Royal it wasn't until the next day that Jack and Will took off in the Interceptor (a slower vessel). Then, they spent the next night in Tortuga (wasting more time). And yet they reach the Isla de Muerta not too long after the Pearl does. For being the fastest ship in the Caribbean, the Pearl is remarkably slow.

To DutchS and Tomb...:D After much speculation on the topic(ok...five seconds...), I have formed quite a fun opinion. Both times, the Pearl and predator arrive at the same time...or so it seems. I like to think that perhaps a sort of tide could block the entrance, and both times the Pearl and crew happened to arrive when it was high tide. Therefore they waited, giving the pursuers time to catch up. |

I dont think this has been mentioned but when Jack is rescuing Liz when she falls into the ocean (you know the scene?), when he's swimming to the surface, he's not holding Liz, he's swimming. Liz is just like floating... Jack isnt supporting her whatsoever... so how did she get up? |

Ah, that totally works. Good thinking.Don't know about floaty Liz, but it doesn't take a lot of strength to lift someone floating in water... Jack could have practically done it with a single finger. And I will leave now, before I make inappropriate comments. |

Doesn't he have an arm looped into her arm? Like towards his upper arm so that he can still swim? |

I noticed this a couple of viewings ago and have been meaning to mention it. When Liz looks in her draw and takes out the necklace, you see a space where there is no dust where the necklace has been. Surely the whole of the bottom of the draw wouldn't have any dust becasue there is a layer of wood covering it up? Can dust travel to the underlayer of the draw? There was also something else I spotted, but I can't remember it at the moment. Edit: The other thing. Surely Will would recognise Mr Gibbs when he and Jack go to him when Mr Gibbs is laying with the pigs? |
