no there were never more than 1 or 2 black arrows the movie completely exagerates their importance. In the books if he had known about smaugs weak spot earlier Bard could have used any of his arrows to kill smaug but the black arrow just happened to be his last one. if he had fired it at any other part of smaugs body it would have done absolutely nothing just like all of the other arrows that he fired.
