Continuity mistake: When the SS officer is killed for hanging children, his papers land by his head. When the shot changes, his papers are now by his feet. (00:48:30)

Continuity mistake: When Jack, Norrington and Elizabeth find the chest, the amount of flowers visible changes instantly. (01:41:20)

Ssiscool ★

Continuity mistake: When the two women put the necklace around Jack's neck they are stood next to each other and are close enough that they are touching each other as they put the necklace on. When the shot changes they are stood around 1ft away from each other. (00:31:20)

Continuity mistake: When Jack first gets slimed, in the shot of him to the side there is a glob of slime on his chest dripping to the floor. When the shot changes to in front of Jack, this glob of slime has gone and is replaced a second later. (02:09:20)

Ssiscool ★

Continuity mistake: When captain Jack Sparrow gets slimed by the Kraken, Jack's hat lands on deck, slime-free. In the next shot, the hat is in a glob of slime. (02:09:30)

Revealing mistake: Elizabeth says."Oh the heat." You can see the exact spot where she is going to fake faint, from previous takes. (01:44:35)

Continuity mistake: Aboard the Pearl, when Elizabeth reaches for the gun at the top of the stairs, her hand is clean as Jack appears. As she hugs Jack's leg, her hand/fingernails are black and filthy. (02:04:10)

Super Grover ★

Continuity mistake: The actual position of the burning word "Tortuga" differs between the first shot as it begins to burn on deck and from the close-up of the flames. (01:04:15)

Super Grover ★

Continuity mistake: While Elizabeth listens as Captain Bellamy tells his crew that the stowaway is likely naked, she drops the paint brush into the pail. When it cuts to the close-up, the paint brush handle rests much higher in the pail. (00:46:05)

Super Grover ★

Continuity mistake: When Jack "intuitively" inquires about Elizabeth's feelings, the dangling beads in his hair are over his dreadlocks, near his shoulder. Next close-up they're tucked under his hair. This type of thing - with all the do-dads in Jack's hair - occurs numerous times throughout the film. (01:35:20)

Super Grover ★

Continuity mistake: After Jack explains the legend of Davy Jones to Elizabeth, and they have found their heading, Elizabeth's braid is going down her back. When Jack points Elizabeth toward the ship her braid is now on her right shoulder. She doesn't move her head and there is not enough time for her to move it herself. (01:17:00)

Jennifer 1

Continuity mistake: After Jack has escaped from the island where he was going to be burned, the makeup on his face (the eyes) changes between scenes. The makeup has faded quite considerably when he first boards the Black Pearl then in a later scene the makeup is neater and clearer. (00:42:30)

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)

Super Grover ★

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)

Super Grover ★

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the two sailors have found Jack's hat in the water, they try it on in turn. When the second man tried it on, the hat changes position between shots, with no time for him to move it. In one shot, one of the corners is facing front, in the next shot a flat side is facing the front. (00:17:50)

Continuity mistake: When trying to flee, Norrington falls and drops his sword and the chest. As he crawls in the first shot, note the sword's hilt and particularly the hand guard, with its wide part facing up. In the next shot the direction of the hand guard has changed, with its wide part now facing the ground (this has nothing to do with camera angle). (01:58:45)

Super Grover ★

Continuity mistake: When Pintel and Ragetti argue over the pronunciation of "Kraken" while they're rowing, the loose end of Jack's red bandanna changes position and jumps from his back to over his shoulder, between shots more than once. (01:38:30)

Super Grover ★

Continuity mistake: This occurs during and after the scene where Jack empties the sand out of the jar and puts the heart inside. After replacing most of the sand, in the later shots the amount of sand in the jar keeps changing. Later in the scene on the Black Pearl, the amount of sand changes from shot-to-shot up until the jar is dropped and breaks. (01:51:40)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the crew of the Black Pearl is in the two cages climbing up the ravine wall on vines, in one shot, the smaller cage is significantly further behind the one with Will, Gibbs and the others. In the next shot, when there is the conversation about, "it would only take about six," to crew the Pearl, the smaller cage is even with the larger one. (00:35:50)

Continuity mistake: When William is talking to Cutler Beckett after being arrested, a fishing ship is seen out on the ocean, not moving. In the next shot, the ship has disappeared. (00:10:20)
