My comment on the film is about the monkey. Sorry if I'm going to spoil it for those who have not watched it but it's the monkey which bothers me. I'm sure that the first time I saw the monkey, it was the skeleton version from the first film. It raced down off the ships rigging and grabbed something. Surely that cannot be, if all the cursed gold had been returned, it would have reverted to being a normal, mortal animal. Jack Sparrow shot the animal in the hut of the witch (?) to prove that it was a good transaction for her help and said something like - "There, an un-shot monkey." or something like that. This would mean that the animal was still immortal. Later on, the two pirates on the beach mentioned "When we were immortal..." Was this done deliberately by the film people to confuse us or did the rules of the cursed gold not include the monkey? Hope someone proves me wrong or right as the case may be!
