Please note: The boy at the start is NOT wearing braces - he's just got dirty teeth.

Other: 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. Submitted by Rikki

Continuity: The position of Bootstrap's knife embedded in the deck rail changes, from the time Will slams it into the wood to when Bootstrap removes it. Submitted by Rikki
Continuity: 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?

Continuity: When Sao Feng's ship fires on Beckett's ship (When Beckett's captain asks if Sparrow has a plan or just makes it up as he goes along). Endeavour, Beckett's ship, loses her mainmast due to battle damage. In reality, as no ship carried a spare mainmast, Endeavour would have had to limp slowly back to port, refit a new mast and rigging, and then return to battle. This would most likely take weeks. Endeavour is spotlessly repaired a few scenes later.
