Continuity mistake: Aboard the Pearl, when Jack goes in search of rum, he sees Bootstrap and places the lantern down with the metal clasp at the center - note the handle. However, when Bootstrap says, "I already told you Jack, time's up," the clasp is actually moved to the side - note the handle. (00:14:10)
Continuity mistake: When talking to Bootstrap for the first time, Bootstrap is saying how he was thinking about any chance of escape he would take it. When he's talking, the bone in Jack's hair switches from uncovered to covered between the long and close shots. (00:15:10)
Continuity mistake: Aboard the Pearl, when Gibbs asks, "For the love of mother and child, Jack, what's coming after us?" as he walks towards Jack, the knot of his neck scarf is on his white shirt at his back. In the next shot, it is around his neck at the front. (00:17:00)
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Jack loses his hat and it drops into the water the hat sides are more curled than when Jack had the hat on his head. (00:17:00)
Continuity mistake: After Bootstrap gives Jack the black mark, when Gibbs shouts, "Back to your stations, the lot o'ya," the cloth round his neck changes position, depending on camera angle. (00:17:00)
Continuity mistake: Right after the monkey knocks Jack's hat off, there is a shot of the monkey on the rigging. The moonlight is shining on him, but he looks completely normal. Shouldn't he be cursed? It's not dawn, the next shot is a time lapse, as evidenced by the fact that the Pearl had moved far enough away from Jack's hat that the other ship didn't see it. (00:17:05)
Continuity mistake: After the monkey throws Jack's hat overboard, Gibbs, Marty, Cotton, et al, run to look over the deck rail, when Gibbs shouts, "Jack's hat!" However, in the next shot it's not until Gibbs turns and shouts, "Clearabout!" that Marty, Cotton and the rest actually reach the deck rail. (00:17:10)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the two sailors have found Jack's hat in the water, they try it on in turn. When the second man tried it on, the hat changes position between shots, with no time for him to move it. In one shot, one of the corners is facing front, in the next shot a flat side is facing the front. (00:17:50)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Will visits Elizabeth in jail, she is rubbing his chin in most of the shots but in one shot her hand is suddenly down and then it goes back up again in the next shot. (00:18:40)
Continuity mistake: When Governor Swann and Will go to see Elizabeth where she is imprisoned, Will and Elizabeth hold hands through the square bars of the cell. Their hands are actually in different openings depending on the shot. (00:18:55)
Continuity mistake: When Will hangs upside down, as he shouts, "Who wants it? I could do this all day!" his necklace dangles freely, beside his face. However, when Will is shot by the dart, the necklace is mostly tucked into his shirt. (00:23:00)
Continuity mistake: When we first see Jack as the "god," the multiple eyes painted on his face are sharp and defined. In the brief second shot, where we see the left side of his face, they appear worn and blurred. The third shot shows them sharp and clear again. (00:23:40)
Continuity mistake: When Will hangs with his hands bound, the ruffle on his shirt cuff goes up and down and up again. (00:24:05)
Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth enters the carriage, after her father rescues her from prison, the bottom of her dress is quite filthy. However, when she runs out of Beckett's office, it is much cleaner. (00:25:50)
Continuity mistake: After Mr. Mercer kills Governor Swann's Captain friend, he heads for the carriage to search for Elizabeth. The candle in the carriage lantern differs between shots - note the height and melted wax. (00:26:50)
Continuity mistake: While Elizabeth hides, Beckett walks into his office and the wood chest is in the foreground; under the lid the paper sticks out, with an edge that is creased and has writing. When Beckett lifts the lid the crease is gone and the writing differs. (00:26:50)
Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth points the gun at Cutler Beckett, a certain amount of her hair is down, but more hair is pulled up in following shots. (00:27:20)
Continuity mistake: When Cutler Beckett enters his office and places the lantern on the desk, the handle is down. However, when Elizabeth walks out of the shadows, the lantern's handle is upright, then down again in a later shot. (00:27:30)
Continuity mistake: Beckett tells Elizabeth that she needs to up her offer. She replies by cocking the gun that is under Beckett's chin. Beckett then walks with the gun under his chin to his desk. However, when he arrives at his desk, the gun is now by his right cheek. (00:28:50)
Continuity mistake: When Pintel, Ragetti and the dog are in the boat, the corner of Pintel's collar is folded up when he says, "Aint that right, poochy?" and also when the dog jumps into the water, yet, it is folded down in the other shots. (00:29:15)
Answer: Yes, the idea is that this poor soul got too close to one of the Kraken's tentacles and one of the suckers pulled his face off. Presumably he can still breathe in some fashion, something has been left that allows air access to the lungs, allowing him to still be alive, although it doesn't sound like he's long for this world, so presumably the damage is extensive.
