the Spainish. They appear at the very begining to spark off the film, make a brief appearance a bit later to make Barbosa get a move on (not that he really needed it), appear a while later soley to sidetrack Jack so he can enact a nice fancy escape sequence and appear near the end to destroy the Fountain (read create some tension on whether Jack'll use the Fountain himself or save the film's action girl) then disapeer. One plot hole has got to be why they just let Barbosa, Blackbeard's crew and the British officers just gorather than kill them considering Spain and Britain were enemies

of all four post-credit scenes, this may be worth watching as it's a definate sequal hook, unlike the extra laugh of the first and second and closure of the third. All that happens is you see Angelica sitting on a beach and the Jack voodoo doll washes ashore.

Having said that, there were still frustratingly seemingly invincible zombie crew and a powerful magic sword, but i'm going to imagine the zombie can be defeated.

I quite liked the Spanish, particularly their dramatic entrance. I thought they were warranted as a third party trying to beat the other two. I mean, they did get the Chalices first. But primarily they were a Catholic force, and weren't interested in engaging in a fight with the others when they were already fighting and leaving. Not to mention that they were pretty much all pirates and beneath them.

Upon seeing the doll, I originally thought she'd take revenge through physical manipulation until my friend suggested it signified Jack returning for her.

1. Does the Missionary get saved? Or did she manipulate him?
2. How does he get the Pearl out of the bottle?

1. when Jack is escaping, how does he manage to pull the palm tree over to him without his tree moving at all? And how does he get his ropes over the branches?
2. With the ship on top of the cliff (I'm going to assume there's a reason it got up there), why does it tip backwards and forwards? Surely it would only tilt in one direction?

True, but the zombies were really no more powerful than the crew of the Pearl were in the first film.

I'm not saying the Spannish were unwarrented, just that they seem underused to me and I would have liked to see them appearing in a more prominant role. Yes they did get the Chalices first, but it really seemed more like an excuse for Jack to have a fancy action sequence than an actual plot point. As for 'pirates and beneath them', Pirates were a major military threat, and that group included several British officers - I'm not sure if Britain and Spain were actively at war at the time, but if not, then there were definately tensions and the Spanish would want to undermine them at any oportunity.

1. Not sure. If I recall, he was mortally wounded anyway - maybe he was dying and she was taking him down so that he could die happily.
2. Well, you might aswell ask how it got in there in the first place - perhaps he smashes the bottle or uncorks it and the magic auto releases it?

Actually it would tilt in both directions, but only back to level really. Only thing I can think of is that it's not on top of a cliff as such (i.e. there's not a flat level at the top of the cliff), but instead is perched on a point which would act as a fulcrum - mempry's a bit hazy, but if I recall, we only see it from below.
