Continuity mistake: When the two women put the necklace around Jack's neck they are stood next to each other and are close enough that they are touching each other as they put the necklace on. When the shot changes they are stood around 1ft away from each other. (00:31:20)

Continuity mistake: When Jack first gets slimed, in the shot of him to the side there is a glob of slime on his chest dripping to the floor. When the shot changes to in front of Jack, this glob of slime has gone and is replaced a second later. (02:09:20)

13th Jul 2006
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Continuity mistake: While Elizabeth listens as Captain Bellamy tells his crew that the stowaway is likely naked, she drops the paint brush into the pail. When it cuts to the close-up, the paint brush handle rests much higher in the pail. (00:46:05)
31st Aug 2006
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Continuity mistake: When Jack "intuitively" inquires about Elizabeth's feelings, the dangling beads in his hair are over his dreadlocks, near his shoulder. Next close-up they're tucked under his hair. This type of thing - with all the do-dads in Jack's hair - occurs numerous times throughout the film. (01:35:20)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Continuity mistake: After Jack explains the legend of Davy Jones to Elizabeth, and they have found their heading, Elizabeth's braid is going down her back. When Jack points Elizabeth toward the ship her braid is now on her right shoulder. She doesn't move her head and there is not enough time for her to move it herself. (01:17:00)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Continuity mistake: After Jack has escaped from the island where he was going to be burned, the makeup on his face (the eyes) changes between scenes. The makeup has faded quite considerably when he first boards the Black Pearl then in a later scene the makeup is neater and clearer. (00:42:30)
14th Sep 2006
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Continuity mistake: Aboard the Flying Dutchman, when Will sneaks in to steal the key, as the shot draws closer to Jones the quills are shown on the organ keys - with one leaning over the keys. In the next shot, as Will reaches sleeping Jones, both quills are leaning away from the keys, and an extra quill stick (feather free) suddenly appears. (01:24:00)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)

12th Jul 2006
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
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)
11th Dec 2006
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Continuity mistake: When trying to flee, Norrington falls and drops his sword and the chest. As he crawls in the first shot, note the sword's hilt and particularly the hand guard, with its wide part facing up. In the next shot the direction of the hand guard has changed, with its wide part now facing the ground (this has nothing to do with camera angle). (01:58:45)
13th Jul 2006
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Continuity mistake: When Pintel and Ragetti argue over the pronunciation of "Kraken" while they're rowing, the loose end of Jack's red bandanna changes position and jumps from his back to over his shoulder, between shots more than once. (01:38:30)
12th Jul 2006
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Continuity mistake: This occurs during and after the scene where Jack empties the sand out of the jar and puts the heart inside. After replacing most of the sand, in the later shots the amount of sand in the jar keeps changing. Later in the scene on the Black Pearl, the amount of sand changes from shot-to-shot up until the jar is dropped and breaks. (01:51:40)
12th Jul 2006
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the crew of the Black Pearl is in the two cages climbing up the ravine wall on vines, in one shot, the smaller cage is significantly further behind the one with Will, Gibbs and the others. In the next shot, when there is the conversation about, "it would only take about six," to crew the Pearl, the smaller cage is even with the larger one. (00:35:50)
20th Jul 2006
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)

16th Jan 2007
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Continuity mistake: As the pirates get dragged through the large castle doors, you see four pirates hanging in metal cages, all the way up to the castle doors. When the castle doors close from an above shot, no hanging pirates are in view. (00:05:15)
8th Jul 2006
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Ragetti is balancing the shovel in his hand, he is balancing it in his right hand. Then when we see him through the scope, however, he is balancing it with his left hand (he is still facing us). Then when we cut back to him, he is holding it in his right hand again. (01:40:00)
