25th Jul 2008
Other mistake: On his own computer, Sean looks up his son's file, which states the boy died immediately and his date of death was September 9th, 1991. When Eve and Castor (as Sean Archer) are at the cemetery, the date of death on the headstone is September 24th, 1991. (00:21:15 - 01:14:50)

28th Aug 2006
Continuity mistake: After the ship with the "bride spirit" is attacked by the Kraken, Will ends up underwater, and when he surfaces his hair is soaked and slicked back, as he climbs on the ship's debris. However, in the next shot, his hair is parted, stringy and falling to the front. (01:33:50)
31st Aug 2006
Continuity mistake: After the Flying Dutchman's attack on the Pearl, when the Kraken attacks the Pearl, one of its tentacles comes through the captain's stateroom stern windows, which has considerable damage - notably the left window and part of the wall are completely gone.

10th Jul 2006
Continuity mistake: When Jack is trying to get the handcuff off his hand at the end of the movie, he has all of his rings turned inward to make it easier to get it off. But when the shot changes into a wide shot, as he pulls off the handcuffs, all of his rings are facing the right way. (02:09:10)
12th Jul 2006
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Captain Sparrow, Elizabeth, and Norrington dig up the chest and open it, we can see that there are documents filling the chest all the way to the top.

25th Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: After Jack takes the heart out of the chest he hurriedly closes its lid, the locks engage, and the key's end remains in the horizontal position when Jack runs off.

13th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: When Captain Teague looks up the Code in the book by Morgan and Bartholomew, in the close-ups the fingers of his right hand runs across the line "It shall be the duty of the Pirate King", but next wideshot it's his left hand doing the page scanning, with his right hand at his side.
18th Jun 2007
Continuity mistake: Aboard the Pearl, after Elizabeth asks, "What shall we die for?" and begins a rousing speech to the crew, her hairstyle differs significantly in following shots (despite the wind).
