Continuity mistake: When Norrington runs with the chest, he falls and his sword ends up beside shell-head when he also falls.

In the shot of Jack from within the grave, the imprint of a modern, flat bottom trainer/sneaker sole can be seen on the dirt wall (yes, wall) to Jack's left. It is not the imprint of a shoe of the time period. (01:48:00)
