Continuity mistake: When the cannibal walks across the bridge and sees some prisoners fall to their death and the others escaping, there is a long stick, which has a black design on it, threaded through his lip. When he arrives back at Jack's roasting, the stick's design is very different. (00:36:10)

13th Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: During the Kraken attack on the Pearl, Jack sneaks away in the long boat at the Pearl's port side. However, when Elizabeth walks over to the deck rail, sees Jack and says, "Oh, you coward!" she is actually standing at the Pearl's starboard side, and it would be quite impossible to see Jack. Take note of the rail rigging and mast. (02:01:20)
13th Sep 2006
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)

6th Sep 2006
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)
6th Sep 2006
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)
5th Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: After Jack jumps from the wheel via the vine, two coconuts fall at his feet. When he looks down at them, in the close-up their positions differ. (01:50:20)
5th Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: When Jack, Elizabeth and Norrington remove the small chest from the larger one, and when Will kneels beside them, there are letters, etc lying on the large chest's lid, which change, disappear and reappear. (01:41:20)
Continuity mistake: Aboard the Pearl, in the close-up of Elizabeth hiding the dinner knife in the napkin, the base of the decorative embossed silver knife handle (area of bolster, where the blade meets the handle) is flat all the way around. However, oddly enough, when she stabs Barbossa moments later, in the close-up of the knife protruding from Barbossa's chest there are two wide ridges circling the base - obviously a different knife. (00:57:45)
3rd Sep 2006

3rd Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: When Jack, who is tied up, skewers the coconut in the wide shot the coconut is vertical. However, in the close-up of the coconut, before he spins around, the coconut is horizontal. (00:38:40)
3rd Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth demands, "What are the charges?" the guard is just putting the shackle on her left wrist, with the right off as well. However, in the previous shot the left shackle is already on and the right is being put on. (00:03:20)
Continuity mistake: At Isla de Muerta, whilst floating offshore in the rowboat, when Jack moves forward to sit beside Norrington and discuss the plan, Mullroy sits behind Jack. In Murtogg and Mullroy's close-ups the silver medallion on Mullroy's white strap is centered properly at his chest. However, in other shots that silver medallion is near his waist.
Continuity mistake: Aboard the Pearl (before Elizabeth's blood ritual), in the exterior shot Elizabeth peers out the window which slants away from her right side - making it the right window of the port side, as she faces it. However, in the next interior shot she actually sits in front of the port side's left window, which slants away from her left side.
Continuity mistake: There are three sets of windows in the captain's stateroom - at port, starboard and stern - with three windows per set. Just before Pintel and Ragetti give Elizabeth the dress, there is an exterior shot of the Pearl, and all three stern windows are actually symmetrical vertically. However, in the interior shots, the first and third stern windows are vertically slanted at their outer sides.
Continuity mistake: At Jack's hanging, when Elizabeth "faints" her hat's wide white ribbon hangs down both sides - joined at the back of her neck. When she lifts her head, to witness Jack's rescue in progress, the ribbon is now gone from the right side of her hat and hangs loose at her left shoulder. However, when she looks over at her father, the ribbon is intact once again. (02:06:15)
