Continuity mistake: Aboard the Flying Dutchman, when Will sneaks in to steal the key, as the shot draws closer to Jones the quills are shown on the organ keys - with one leaning over the keys. In the next shot, as Will reaches sleeping Jones, both quills are leaning away from the keys, and an extra quill stick (feather free) suddenly appears. (01:24:00)
14th Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: When Jack speaks with Elizabeth on the dock and asks, "Are you certain? Is that what you want most?" the kohl very noticeably does not go around his entire left eye in this close-up, but, in previous and following shots it does. (01:15:10)
14th Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: At Tia Dalma's, when Jack says, "Look, an undead monkey," and shoots the monkey, the flame of the candle above the monkey is extinguished from the gunfire. However, in the next shot that candle is burning brightly. (00:49:30)
14th Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: When the cannibal walks across the bridge and sees some prisoners fall to their death and the others escaping, there is a long stick, which has a black design on it, threaded through his lip. When he arrives back at Jack's roasting, the stick's design is very different. (00:36:10)
13th Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth speaks with Jack at the dock, about finding Will, her white pointed collar repeatedly jumps over and under the brown leather strap, at her right shoulder. (01:14:20)
13th Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: During the Kraken attack on the Pearl, Jack sneaks away in the long boat at the Pearl's port side. However, when Elizabeth walks over to the deck rail, sees Jack and says, "Oh, you coward!" she is actually standing at the Pearl's starboard side, and it would be quite impossible to see Jack. Take note of the rail rigging and mast. (02:01:20)
13th Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: When Will hangs upside down, as he shouts, "Who wants it? I could do this all day!" his necklace dangles freely, beside his face. However, when Will is shot by the dart, the necklace is mostly tucked into his shirt. (00:23:00)
12th Sep 2006

6th Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth, Jack and Gibbs speak on deck about Beckett wanting the chest, the flask's black strap repeatedly jumps over and under the cloth round Gibb's neck. (01:27:30)
6th Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: While Elizabeth hides, Beckett walks into his office and the wood chest is in the foreground; under the lid the paper sticks out, with an edge that is creased and has writing. When Beckett lifts the lid the crease is gone and the writing differs. (00:26:50)
6th Sep 2006
Deliberate mistake: When Will is bound and brought before "Chief" Jack, Will says, "The compass!" and there is a close-up of the compass, as it hangs to the right of the long striped cloth. However, in all other shots the compass hangs to the left of the red and white striped cloth. This is a flipped shot - note the large buckles. (00:24:00)
6th Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: Aboard the Pearl, when Jack goes in search of rum, he sees Bootstrap and places the lantern down with the metal clasp at the center - note the handle. However, when Bootstrap says, "I already told you Jack, time's up," the clasp is actually moved to the side - note the handle. (00:14:10)
5th Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: After Jack jumps from the wheel via the vine, two coconuts fall at his feet. When he looks down at them, in the close-up their positions differ. (01:50:20)
5th Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: When Jack, Elizabeth and Norrington remove the small chest from the larger one, and when Will kneels beside them, there are letters, etc lying on the large chest's lid, which change, disappear and reappear. (01:41:20)
5th Sep 2006
Audio problem: Before the Tortuga bar brawl the musicians are shown playing their instruments. When Elizabeth says, "I just wanted to have the pleasure of doing that myself," it is quiet in the bar, but the violinist is seen happily playing directly behind her and no sound is heard. (01:08:20)
Continuity mistake: Aboard the Pearl, in the close-up of Elizabeth hiding the dinner knife in the napkin, the base of the decorative embossed silver knife handle (area of bolster, where the blade meets the handle) is flat all the way around. However, oddly enough, when she stabs Barbossa moments later, in the close-up of the knife protruding from Barbossa's chest there are two wide ridges circling the base - obviously a different knife. (00:57:45)
5th Sep 2006
Revealing mistake: The long bamboo pole lies directly at "Chief" Jack's back whilst he is bound by the rope. However, when Jack escapes and runs, in a few shots there is a distinct outline of an apparatus at his back - under the vest, with which the pole lies higher up, away from the actor's back. (00:38:20)
3rd Sep 2006
Continuity mistake: At Tia Dalma's, the key cloth is placed on the table, and in following shots the things such as the cloth, bones and jewelry scattered on the table change position. (00:51:50)
