- Paul McCartney is seen singing a song "Maggie Mae". It is an old drinking song of the sea from Liverpool and featured on The Beatles "Let it Be" Album. On the album, the song was sung by John Lennon. (Just in case you didn't know, Sir Paul McCartney played Uncle Jack.)
- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is the only film in the Pirates franchise whose title quotes audio from the Disneyland and Walt Disney World attractions. Actual audio from the attractions were featured in At World's End.
