Continuity mistake: After Wormtail performs the Avada Kedavra curse and then raises the "bone of the father," he places Voldemort's wand inside the left side of his coat, before he slices off his right hand. When Voldemort says, "My wand Wormtail," Wormtail retrieves the wand from the right side of his coat. (01:56:00 - 01:57:40)
21st Nov 2005
Continuity mistake: When Harry takes a bath in the Prefects' bathroom, the robe behind him repeatedly changes position throughout the scene. (01:23:20)
21st Nov 2005
Continuity mistake: As the Horntail nears during the challenge, when Harry clings to the window frame, the characteristics of the broken windowsill he stands on changes depending on camera angle. (Not due to more breakage.) (01:00:50)
21st Nov 2005
Continuity mistake: During the Hungarian Horntail challenge, the dirt smudges on Harry's face noticeably change in consecutive shots, within the same time frame.
21st Nov 2005
Continuity mistake: While Sirius speaks with Harry in the common room, the sweater at the corner of the couch changes position during this scene.
21st Nov 2005
Continuity mistake: In class, when Moody writes his name, unforgivable (curses), etc., on the chalkboard, the handwriting distinctly differs in the following shots. (00:22:30)
Continuity mistake: When Barbossa pulls apart his jacket, after he is shot by Jack, the fatal wound bleeds out staining a large portion of the front of his white shirt with blood. However, when Barbossa falls to the ground, in the close-up after he drops his beloved apple, his jacket is open and amazingly ALL the blood on his white shirt is gone. (This is ONLY visible on VHS.)
Continuity mistake: Aboard the Black Pearl, after Elizabeth walks out onto the deck and sees the skeletal pirates for the first time, in the shots as she stumbles backward and is tossed in mid-air her strapped shoes with heels are visible. After she knocks off Grapple's skeletal head with the wheel, as Elizabeth runs down the stairs her right shoe is perfectly visible and it most certainly isn't one of those pretty shoes with heels. (This is ONLY visible on VHS.)
Visible crew/equipment: After Will tells Jack that he can get him out of prison, he lifts a wooden bench to use for leverage and says, "And the proper application of strength..." In the next close-up of the bench as it's positioned at the cell bars, a crewmember's fingers are gripping one of the bars at the bottom right corner of the screen. (This is only visible on VHS.)
Continuity mistake: At Isla de Muerta, when Will's hands are bound, Jack tosses Will the sword. In the two shots facing Will, first as he catches it then as he pushes the bald pirate, Will's hose are rolled down, whereas in the previous and following shots his hose are on properly. Orlando Bloom preferred to have the hose down during much of the shoot, when it was supposedly not visible onscreen. (This is ONLY visible on VHS.)
Continuity mistake: Aboard the Pearl, after Elizabeth begins to eat the turkey leg, in the shot facing Barbossa as he pours her wine, there is a hunk of bread with a bite taken out of it on Elizabeth's plate which wasn't in the previous shots. Problem is that it's not until three shots later that Elizabeth actually takes bread from the platter and bites into it, before dropping it. (This is ONLY visible on VHS.)
Revealing mistake: After Gillette locks the shackles on Jack's wrists, it is clear in Jack and Elizabeth's close-ups that the wider side of the shackles' distinctively shaped straight bar faces out at his wrists. However, when Jack is in the blacksmith shop, sitting at the anvil trying to break the links, the left shackle is actually around his wrist the opposite way. (This even occurs in other consecutive shots.) (00:19:00 - 00:21:30)
17th Oct 2005
Visible crew/equipment: When Gracie spots "Fake Dolly," Dolly runs and Gracie begins her pursuit. Then just as Gracie trips on the luggage cart, her pretty orange blouse flies up at the back and Sandra Bullock's mic transmitter is visible at the back of her pants. (Note that a bit earlier, after Sam elbows Gracie in the ladies room, it isn't there as Gracie stands up.) (00:48:00)
17th Oct 2005
Revealing mistake: While Gracie chases "Fake Dolly," as Dolly runs past the Asian couple her supposed spike heeled shoes have a filled in flat base between the fake spike heel and sole, obviously making it easier to run. When Gracie pins her to the ground, Dolly wears real spike heeled shoes. (00:48:10)
17th Oct 2005
Deliberate mistake: As "Fake Dolly" runs away from Gracie, it is rather obvious in the shot facing Dolly as she runs down the stairs and then when she turns to look behind her, that it really is a fake Dolly running. (00:48:20)
17th Oct 2005
Continuity mistake: At the bank, when Gracie pushes the carriage into the "housewife," she leaps on the woman, the gun goes off and the carriage falls. After it cuts to Clonsky being hit by the bullet, when Gracie and the woman hit the ground the carriage is standing upright. Yet a few shots later, as they grapple for the gun, the carriage is overturned on the floor. (00:04:40)
17th Oct 2005
Continuity mistake: When Gracie and Clonsky are at the bank, there is a tray attached to the handle of the carriage (with a sippy cup). After Gracie tells the "housewife" there's an agent in the carriage, in the shot facing Gracie as she tips the carriage, the tray comes loose. However, in the next shot the tray is still attached. (00:04:20)
17th Oct 2005
Continuity mistake: When Gracie is reviewing Joel's etiquette rule book, her right hand holds the book while her left flips the pages, but in a consecutive shot she is suddenly holding the book with her left hand flipping pages with her right. (00:17:10)
17th Oct 2005
Continuity mistake: When Gracie is on TV with Regis, he asks, "Could you give us a little encore..." and points toward the side of the stage with his outstretched left arm, but in the next shot he points with his right arm. (00:18:40)
17th Oct 2005
Continuity mistake: At the kidnappers' shack, when one says, "Let's line this up," the TV's position in this shot not only differs in the next close-up, the junk beside the TV stand is gone. (00:31:30)
