Super Grover

Continuity mistake: At Sao Feng's, when Pintel looks up under the wood planks, in the shots from below the husky fellow's toes are seen perpendicular to the floor boards and its gaps in between; however, in the shots from above, the floor boards run parallel to his toes/feet.

Continuity mistake: At the mass hanging, when the singing begins, in one shot of the people (with the boy) standing at the gallows, the others down below, who wait at the head of the line, are also seen behind them singing. In a following shot, some at the head of the line differ.

Continuity mistake: Elizabeth has a beauty mark above the corner of her right eyebrow which actually disappears in some of her close-ups. For instance, when she is with Norrington and asks, "Know what? Which side you chose?" and later, when he kisses her. Later, in the scene with her son, the beauty mark is gone in one close-up and then just reappears in the next one, as she glances at her son.
