Continuity mistake: Jack tosses the medallion to Will. After a shot of Will's hand catching it and Jack's reaction, in the front shot of Barbossa as he pulls out his gun, the leather strap is slung across his chest high up near his neck with the buckle at his lower left side. Yet in the close-up when he reveals the wound, the leather strap is lower on his chest and the buckle is now higher up at his right side. (02:00:50)
Continuity mistake: During the Black Pearl's ambush on Port Royal, they destroy a wall to the prison. Pirates in one cell manage to escape from a hole in the wall destroyed by one of the boat's cannons and Jack is stuck in his cell because the hole isn't big enough for him to fit through. As this happens, we can actually see the small hole when one of the pirates say "My sympathies. You've no manner of luck at all" as the other pirates escape the cell. Yet in the next shot as Jack is watching the other pirates escape, the small hole in Jack's cell is now smaller than it was in the previous shot.
Continuity mistake: After young Elizabeth tells young Will "I'm watching over you", there's a strand of hair over his ear, which appears and disappears randomly depending on the shot.
Continuity mistake: Young Will lays unconscious by the edge of a blanket. When the angle changes there's much more blanket behind.
Continuity mistake: Barbossa shoots Pintel and a hole appears in his shirt. This hole soon vanishes never to be seen again. (01:11:00)
Continuity mistake: Barbossa's scar changes appearance several times during the movie. At times it's almost completely gone, and sometimes it's even quite "thick".
Continuity mistake: In the overhead wide shot of the Pearl pursuing the Interceptor they are maybe three boat lengths apart. Before and after they are further apart. In general during that entire pursuit sequence their distances change too rapidly, from nearer to farther away (as seen from either ship towards the other), but that shot shows a particular discrepancy.

Answer: On Disc 3, Johnny explains, "Take something as solid as Keith Richards and combine it with Pepé Le Pew... I felt... he would resemble a modern day Rastafarian..." Pepé Le Pew is a Looney Tunes cartoon character, based on Charles Boyer's romantic character, Pepé Le Moko. Pepé Le Pew, however, is a romantic amorous cartoon skunk and he has a huge flaw - his 'odor', which he emits in a grand way.
