8th Dec 2006
Other mistake: The rope is wound round Jack's body and the pole at his back numerous times. When Shishka-Jack falls, the pole gets jammed between the cliffs, but the pole does not break and the rope does not tear. The rope that goes round the pole numerous times simply disappears, leaving the rope intact around only Jack's body in order for Jack to twirl and unravel as he falls. (00:39:00)
8th Dec 2006
Continuity mistake: When Jack and Gibbs walk on the dock towards the Pearl, they pass a couple kissing, as Elizabeth calls out to Jack. In the following shot, that couple is much farther (about 10 ft) up the dock, away from the Pearl - note the other ship's exterior, behind them. (01:17:00)
8th Dec 2006
Continuity mistake: At the edge of the cliff, in the first overhead shot, when the four men lift the coffin its "head" side is nearest the water. However, in the next shot the "foot" side is nearest, before they throw it in the water. (00:05:30)
8th Dec 2006
Continuity mistake: In the close-up of Elizabeth, as she watches Jack sneak away in the long boat, there is no sign of either Marty or Cotton. In the next shot, when the Kraken causes the ship to shake, Cotton and Marty (who sits on the beam) suddenly appear. (02:06:30)
8th Dec 2006
Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth walks over to the deck rail and notices Jack sneaking away in the long boat, her leather strap hangs from her left shoulder to her right hip, whereas in all other shots she wears it the opposite way. This is not a flipped shot - note Cotton's shirt tear. (02:06:25)
8th Dec 2006
Continuity mistake: When Norrington, Jack and Will bang away at each other on the beach, in the shot facing Elizabeth as she puts her hat back on, behind her Ragetti runs ahead of Pintel (3-4 ft) as they steal the chest. Next shot, it is Pintel in the lead as they run off. (01:49:00)
8th Dec 2006
Deliberate mistake: When Shishka-Jack falls, the rope is tied round his left ankle. When the pole gets stuck, in the second close-up of Jack spinning free the rope is actually tied round his right ankle (his spinning loose of the rope is also the opposite way). (00:42:00)
8th Dec 2006
Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth, Will and the rest watch from the long boat, as the Kraken takes down the Pearl with Jack aboard, in the shot facing the Pearl Cotton sits directly behind Will, but in the shot facing the long boat Pintel sits behind Will. (02:14:55)
8th Dec 2006
Revealing mistake: Will slides down the sail, aided by the knife. At the start of the next shot, when he grabs hold of the mast line, the cut in the sail runs the the bottom edge of the sail, yet, Will is actually seen falling from the top of this shot - way above the end of that knife cut. (01:36:10)
3rd Nov 2006
Continuity mistake: When Gary and Larry catch up with Bob, the trees and snow surrounding the two cars differ after the RV destroys the vehicles; also, note the tree tops. (01:31:50)
3rd Nov 2006
Visible crew/equipment: After the State Trooper stops the Munros, when Gary and Larry speak to Bob the reflector screen is clearly reflected in Larry's eyeglasses. (01:31:50)
3rd Nov 2006
Visible crew/equipment: After Bob urges Alpine not to merge, when Carl flips Todd there is a huge straight edge shadow where they stand, however, there is absolutely nothing near the seated people that would cause such a shadow - only the crew's equipment. (Even more noticeable on fullscreen DVD.) (01:29:20)
3rd Nov 2006
Continuity mistake: When Bob speaks to the entire Alpine company, with the Gornickes watching, all their shadows move 180° to their right from the start of Bob's speech to Todd's flip. (01:26:45)
3rd Nov 2006
Audio problem: After reaching Alpine via the Gornicke bus, when Bob says, "Some of my behavior on this trip might be misconstrued as an insult," Bob's mouth/jaw does not match most of his words. (01:25:10)
3rd Nov 2006
Revealing mistake: When Bob hangs upside down on the Gornicke windshield, in the shot facing the bus as he begins to fall, we can see the driver's and front passenger's seats and Travis, his wife, and Jamie are all gone. Of course they are back in the following shot. (Only visible on fullscreen DVD.) (01:23:15)
3rd Nov 2006
Revealing mistake: When Bob is on the bus' roof there are interior shots of the bus and all its right side (viewer's left) sliding metal framed windows are visible and intact. After Travis stops short, in the following exterior shots four of the double sliding windows have been deliberately removed from their tracks, so the camera's view of the kids is unobstructed. (01:23:10)
3rd Nov 2006
Continuity mistake: As Bob hangs onto the Gornicke ladder, when the bicycle falls in the first shot it falls to its left; however, in the next shot the bicycle falls to its right. (01:22:25)
3rd Nov 2006
Continuity mistake: When bike riding Bob grabs hold of the Gornicke bus ladder, his hands grip different rungs between multiple shots. (01:22:25)
3rd Nov 2006
Continuity mistake: When bike riding Bob chases down the Gornicke bus, in the front shots their shadows jump from their right to left between shots, while driving in a straight line. (01:22:15)
3rd Nov 2006
Continuity mistake: When the Munros first hitch a ride with the Gornickes, after Bob takes off on the bicycle, as Cassie questions Earl the calculator repeatedly disappears, then reappears, and the books, etc change between shots. (01:18:55)
