Behind the scenes

 * Unlike many other pirate movies in which all naval and pirate officers dueled with rapiers and used thrusting strikes only, the Pirates of the Caribbean movies gives a realistic depiction of pirate weapons and fighting techniques.
 * Peter Twist gave the historical advise on weapons for Pirates of the Caribbean and Bob Anderson trained the actors in sword-fighting.
