Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Continuity mistake: During the three way fight for the key, Will uses the bell rope to grab the key from Norrington. A couple of minutes later, while they are fighting on the roof, Jack sneaks up behind them and tries to snatch it from Norrington, despite already having taken it. (01:49:00 - 01:51:00)

Suggested correction: Norrington takes it back from Will during their fight on the roof (not seen but possible), only then Jack tries to take it again.

Other mistake: When Elizabeth points to the word "Tortuga" written in flames, she is pointing the wrong way. (01:04:30)

Suggested correction: Elizabeth drops down and says "what's that over there?" and leans to look over the side of her seat. She doesn't point at the flames. The dress points earlier in the scene before the dress has knocked the candle over to start the flames.

Other mistake: When the two pirates are rowing toward the beach, and the dog is at the front, one of them is reading the bible. From the cover it's being held the right way up, but in a very quick shot showing the actual text of the book, the text itself is upside down. (00:30:20)

Suggested correction: This isn't a mistake. Pintel states that Ragetti can't read. So the fact that Ragetti has the book upside down adds to this claim. With regard to the cover and text being opposite ways round, Ragetti or someone could have reattached the cover at some point as the Bible is damaged in places.

I feel like arguing that the "cover may have been reattached" is far too much conjecture to be a mistake. It's much more likely to just be a minor continuity gaff as the mistake suggests.

TedStixon

I'll concede that is a fair minor goof. However, the writing being upside down when Ragetti is trying to read isn't really a goof.

Trivia: The face on the small music box lid is visible when Will steals the key from Davy Jones. At Tia Dalma's, when Jack steals the ring, it lies beside a necklace whose pendant is identical to the face on Davy Jones's music box.

Question: When Jack asks for Tia Dalma's help, she asks him what he brought for her. Jack then lifts the cage containing the monkey and shoots it. Jack then says, "An undead monkey". How is it possible for the monkey to be undead, wasn't the curse on the Black Pearl lifted?

Answer: There is a scene after the credits of "The Curse of the Black Pearl": the monkey got back to the cave and took a coin. That way he turned undead again.
