Continuity mistake: Just before Pintel and Ragetti are about to fire Jack, the monkey, out of a cannon, the monkey and barrel point out of a partially destroyed gun port, with its hinged port lid missing. Once Ragetti lights it, in the close-up just as Jack blazes out, the frame of the gun port is perfectly intact, as is its hinged port lid above it. (02:15:45)

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
Continuity mistake: When Beckett boards the Dutchman and speaks to Jones, he has very noticeable dark facial stubble, but bizarrely, in his next close-up he is actually clean shaven, his wig curl has shrunk and his eyebrow hair is neater.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
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.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
Continuity mistake: At the front door of Sao Feng's, after Elizabeth removes her hat, it cuts to the removal of her decorative vest (totally skipping her jacket), revealing her weapons' holster harness underneath, and she then tosses her vest at Sao Feng's man. Problem is the man doesn't catch her vest, he actually catches her empty weapons' holster harness. But, in the next few shots she's still wearing that holster harness, as she removes her lovely weapons. (00:08:35)

Other mistake: In numerous shots modern bobbypins (the white kind brides wear on their headdress) are clearly visible inside the curls of the men's white wigs. For instance, they can be seen when Norrington is reunited with his sword; later when he dies; when Beckett talks about the immaterial becoming immaterial; finally, when he says, "It's just good business," as the Pearl and Dutchman fire on Endeavor. The type of 'hair pin' seen in the wig curls did not exist in the mid 18th century.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
Continuity mistake: After the Pearl makes an interesting return to the Locker's shore, Jack walks toward everyone on the beach, leaving a trail in the sand behind him. As Jack speaks to them in one wideshot, his trail in the sand near the long boat disappears (not due to the water).

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
Continuity mistake: During the mass hanging, in the close-up of the boy's fingers fiddling with the coin he has clean hands and long untrimmed nails, but in the wideshot the boy's hands are filthy and his fingernails are bitten short. (00:02:40)

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)

8th Jul 2007
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
Continuity mistake: Aboard the Dutchman, when Jones's crew shout, "The Admiral's dead," Norrington's black scabbard lies conspicuously at his right side, but when he stabs Jones the scabbard is gone.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
Continuity mistake: After Will escapes the brig aboard the Pearl, as he stands on deck with Jack, the rope wound round the dead soldier lying atop the barrel differs depending on camera angle.
8th Jul 2007
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
Continuity mistake: On the island with the contaminated water, when Pintel rolls over the dead body in the wideshot, his left hand is under the body's arm gripping the body, but when it cuts to a close-up, Pintel's left hand grips the body's arm.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
Continuity mistake: In the Locker, before Governor Swann says, "Elizabeth? Are you dead?" in his close-up Elizabeth is seen in the background crossing the broken rail beside Jack, but two shots later she crosses that part of the rail again as she shouts to her father.
8th Jul 2007
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
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.
8th Jul 2007
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
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.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
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.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
