The amount of soot on Maureen O'Hara's face changes from the long shots to the close-ups.
Swaine fights Black and goes into the water. Swaine, soaking wet, makes his way to helping hands. But when he is actually pulled out of the water his clothes are dry.
The Contessa and Anne are to have a duel. Laurent hands each a pistol. But when Anne takes her pistol, she not only draws back the cock but the frizzen as well. When the Contessa gets hers, she draws back just the cock as the frizzen is already back. The frizzen would have to be back in order to contain the powder in the pan, meaning only the Contessa's pistol was armed. Anne's pistol would have had no powder in it's flash-pan meaning it could NOT be fired.
Watching the Portuguese dubbed version, and that is fine, but after the wedding, first time on land, a group can be heard singing "Wyatt Earp, Wyatt Earp, breve, courageous and bold . . ." in the background. Earp's lifetime and the setting of the film are completely out of sync.

Anne's pistol would have had no powder in it's flash-pan meaning it could NOT be fired. As Anne was a pirate she would have been familiar with arms and would have noticed the frizzen was forward and therefore there would have been no powder in the pan. Accordingly, Anne would have known her pistol could NOT fire.
