Visible crew/equipment: While Norrington and Will begin their duel, Jack walks away and promptly falls into the open grave. In the shot of Jack from within the grave, the imprint of a modern, flat bottom trainer/sneaker sole can be seen on the dirt wall (yes, wall) to Jack's left. It is not the imprint of a shoe of the time period. (01:48:00)
19th Jul 2006
Continuity mistake: After Tia Dalma hands Jack the jar of dirt, the jar is positioned differently within Jack's grasp between shots - note the lid. (00:53:30)

13th Jul 2006

13th Jul 2006
Continuity mistake: After Jack opens the lid of the large chest, there is a close-up of the filled interior, which lies nearly a foot below the top edge of the large chest, with the smaller inner chest well hidden below.

13th Jul 2006
Continuity mistake: At Tia Dalma's, when Will tosses the knife at the tabletop, there is a tall slim candle beside his right hand. However, in the next shot when Tia Dalma says, "Against the cold and the sorrow," the candle beside his right hand is now very short, though no time has passed. (This doesn't refer to the short, wide candle in both shots.)

13th Jul 2006
