Trivia: The game that Will Turner plays with Davy Jones with the dice is a genuine game called Liar's Dice, a gambling game where each player has to make consecutively higher bids based upon how many of each die they claim are on the table (two threes, four fives, etc), until a player is called a liar, in which case all the dice are shown and it's seen if the bid is correct.

Trivia: In the beginning of the movie, the 2 pirates that fish out Jack Sparrow's hat from the sea are speaking Turkish. The one who fishes the hat out of the sea says, "It's a hat. Now I am a captain." Then they start arguing, "It is my hat," "No, it is my hat."

Revealing mistake: On the beach during the sword fight after the chest is found, in one overhead shot it shows the three men are casting shadows in different directions, revealing the presence of on-set lighting. (01:43:50)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest mistake picture

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)

Other mistake: The first time the Kraken attacks the ship, he breaks it clean in 2. One of the guys is right next to the tentacle when it breaks the ship, yet he is launched up into the air. If he was next to the break he would be pulled down into the water, the only way he'd be launched would be if he were at the opposite end of the boat. (01:32:50)

Continuity mistake: Right after the monkey knocks Jack's hat off, there is a shot of the monkey on the rigging. The moonlight is shining on him, but he looks completely normal. Shouldn't he be cursed? It's not dawn, the next shot is a time lapse, as evidenced by the fact that the Pearl had moved far enough away from Jack's hat that the other ship didn't see it. (00:17:05)
