Did You Know?
| Trivia | Anjelica Huston never says a word in the movie. See more » |
| Goofs | During Nick and Ned's limerick competition, Nick uses the word 'Khaki'. This word is from the Hindustani language and only entered in the English language in the 1840s, through the British Army in India. As 'Swashbuckler' is set in the 1700s, he could not have known the word. They could be saying the word "cocky", which is more probable because its first printed use was in the 1700s and its oral use was even earlier. See more » |

Nick:
There once was a maiden named Starkey who had an affair with a darkey. The result of her sins was quadruplets, not twins: One white, one black, and two khaki. [Alternative final word] Nick: cocky. See more » |
