** Bligh claims to Christian that James Cook was the first to bring potatoes from the New World to the Old. In real life, potatoes were first brought by Spanish explorer Pedro Cieza de León in 1560, almost two centuries before Cook was born. The line was replaced by something different in the Spanish dub of the film, as the adaptation team reportedly found it too ludicrous to keep.

* AdaptationalVillainy: In reality, William Bligh was not a cruel sadist who took pleasure in tormenting his crew or having men beaten for trivial or non-existent offenses (in fact, he was actually more lenient than many other captains when it came to corporal punishment). Nor was he a dishonest thief who stole the ship's rations for personal use while blaming the theft on sailors. Bligh did have a short temper and poor interpersonal skills that ultimately led to his downfall.

The claim that Bligh never ordered the crew flogged is wholly untrue. The logbook records 11 incidents of flogging during the 16 month voyage (still less than average). Also, Bligh was accused of embezzling food stores by the crew, though we have only their word for it.

* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: This Captain Bligh is a monstrous sadist and sociopath, as with most adaptations of the story. The real William Bligh was no more brutal than any other Royal Navy captain--he never flogged one man the whole voyage. Compared to other British captains of that era, Bligh was relatively lenient with his crew. He certainly didn't embezzle from ship's stores. The real reason the mutiny happened was: 1) the sailors had gone native and wanted to go back to Tahiti; 2) there were no Royal Marines on board for security, as was the usual case for larger Royal Navy ships; and 3) Bligh's inability to read the room.

One of them later died of natural causes, leaving only one mutineer alive, along with a bunch of women and children, to greet the American whaling ship that stopped by 20 years later.
