Had to put some of my own comments in...
I found this on imdb.com:
Revealing mistakes: When Jack Sparrow falls into the grave, the print of a modern shoe can be seen clearly in the dirt at the top of the grave.
Anachronisms: When Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth and Norrington are arguing on the pier in Tortuga, the hull of a ship can be clearly seen behind them bearing a Plimsoll line, which wasn't used until the late 19th century.
Continuity: When Gibbs is describing Davy Jones to Will Turner on the trip up the river, his forehead is clear in the first shot, then a tangle of hair has fallen down, then in the next shot has again been swept back.
Audio/visual unsynchronized: At the beginning of the film when caskets are being thrown into the water, the first casket makes no noise of any kind when it hits the water.
Continuity: When watching Will, Jack, and Norrington sword fight on the beach, Elizabeth's nose and cheeks are slightly sunburned. When back on the ship, they're only tanned, and no longer burned.
Lighting? It will make a sunburn look like a tan sometimes...
Continuity: When Norrington is running from Jones' crew and falls, the letters of marque fall to the ground, as seen lying next to the head of the crew member he throws the chest at. In the next shot, they are gone and Norrington somehow gets them back.
Revealing mistakes: After Elizabeth handcuffed Jack she climbs into the lifeboat, you see a blue lining from the pool under water.
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): After Elizabeth has handcuffed Jack to the mast on the ship, he tries to free his hand from it. You see that as he tries to pull his hand through, his rings look like they are about to fall off but when it goes to a shot of his face and his hand after he has just pulled it out his rings are back on his hand in the right places.
Continuity: Before the three-way sword fight on the beach, Norrington points his sword at Will Turner, who points it at Jack Sparrow, who points it at Norrington. In the next shot, Norrington is suddenly pointing the sword at Jack Sparrow, and Will Turner is pointing the sword at Norrington.
Continuity: When Will is flogged his shirt is ripped wide open down the back. Afterwards from the conversation with his father to the very end, the shirt which had been ripped apart is miraculously whole again.
Revealing mistakes: Elizabeth's ponytail is missing while the crew tells of the "ghost woman," in the first shot, but after the man holding the dress says "She's somewhere on this ship, naked," the camera shifts back to Elizabeth, who now has a ponytail.
Miscellaneous: The large world map being painted in Beckett's office has a compass topped with a fleur-de-lis. Since the fleur-de-lis was the official symbol of the French monarchy, it is very unlikely it would appear on a map commissioned by a leader of the (English) East India Company.
Continuity: At the scene where Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew visited Tia Dalma, the blackness of her lips changes from one angle to another.
Anachronisms: In the scene where Will is on Tortuga asking for Jack Sparrow, someone replies to will, "I think he went to Singapore." Singapore wasn't established until 1819.
This is true, I've been to Singapore and it WASN'T established until 1819. It didn't even have a name until then.
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Jack Sparrow presents Tia Dalma the undead monkey (also named Jack) as a gift. However, if the curse was lifted off Barbossa and his crew in the previous movie, why is the monkey still undead?
This makes me wonder...did you watch the credits?!? I mean, what a stupid question! At the end of the credits, the monkey takes off with a coin, so obviously, he would be undead, but the rest of the crew wouldn't be undead! This is why we watch the WHOLE movie.
Continuity: When Tia Dalma gives Jack the jar of dirt it's dark soil, but when Jack spills the jar on the ship, it's sand.
Revealing mistakes: In the water wheel scene, Jack get knocked out by a bar, then falls out. They get back inside the wheel and fight, there is obviously no bar, otherwise it would block their way.
I noticed that too.
Factual errors: When the Kraken is attacking the Black Pearl, Will sends for rum and gunpowder to be collected, so that the material can be shot, therefore causing an explosion. However, when using the gun in question, it would not be possible to ignite the gun powder, and therefore, no explosion. This is contrary to what happened in the film.
Yeah I wondered about that! I've never seen a bullet make something explode!
Miscellaneous: In the scene where Turner, Sparrow and Norrington are fighting inside the rolling water-wheel, at the end of the shot, Will Turner is seen standing upside-down inside the wheel without holding onto anything or falling towards the ground.
Continuity: As Jack Sparrow enters onto the boat, after escaping from the island of cannibals, he is washed with a large wave, which wipes off most of the paint on his face (eyes on his face). However, in the next scene when he is talking to Elizabeth Swan you can clearly see the eye paint on his cheeks.
Factual errors: Davy Jones is the captain of the Flying Dutchman in the movie, but the legend of Davy Jones and the Flying Dutchman are actually two unrelated myths. Davy Jones is not reported to be the captain of any ship, let alone the legendary Dutchman.
So they just put the two together, like Alien v. Predator.
Miscellaneous: When Elizabeth gets ready to shoot the explosives/rum to ignite it, the pan of the musket is open. After the musket was thrown all over the ship, there would have been no primer powder left in the pan. Consequently, the musket would never have fired without stopping and replacing the primer.
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the men who are held in the bone cages and are climbing up the wall the old man with the parrot is seen in the cage that falls to the ground but then is in the cage that makes it to the top along with Will Turner.
Well we couldn't kill Mr. Cotton!
Continuity: Early in the film, the map that takes up a wall in Lord Beckett's quarters has no writing. In the final scenes of the film, several location names have appeared on the map.
Yeah, that's because they update the map every day with new information. Of course there would be new stuff on it!
Well, some stuff is frustrating, but some of it's neat!
The Black Pearl is the only ship in the film which operate under power. All others, except for the Lady Washington who portrayed the Interceptor from the first movie and the Bounty that portrayed the Edinburgh Trader, are built atop other ships such as barges with only the portions seen by the cameras completed.
The Black Pearl is the only ship in the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and its sequel which operate under power. All others, except for the "Interceptor" from the first movie, are built atop other ships such as barges with only the portions seen by the cameras completed.
The movie was shot back-to-back with _Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)_ .
Rolling Stone Keith Richards was set to make a cameo appearance as the father of Captain Jack Sparrow, but Richards had to pull out of the project due to his commitment with the Rolling Stones world tour. Johnny Depp had previously said that his performance as Jack Sparrow was based on Richards.
Keira Knightley had to wear hair extensions because she had cut her hair short for her role in Domino (2005).
The gigantic wheel upon which the sword fight between Sparrow, Turner and Norrington takes place weighed at 1800 pounds and stood at 18 feet tall.
For the film's release, the Walt Disney Company redesigned the Pirates of the Caribbean rides in Walt Disney World and Disneyland to feature captain Jack Sparrow, Barbossa, and an appearance by the films' supernatural character Davy Jones as part of the attraction and will be featured beginning on the film's opening day.
A bayou swamp scene with small shacks and fireflies is directly copied from the Pirate ride at Disneyland.
While the script for the second movie was being written, Keira Knightly suggested the scene between Jack and Elizabeth where Jack is handcuffed to the ship.
Yeah she just wanted to kiss Johnny Depp!
In order to get an actual surprised reaction, the small kissing scene between Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann was cut out of Orlando Bloom's script.
That's just mean-spirited!
Gore Verbinski did not tell the cast what was to happen with the bone cage. He wanted to get their natural reactions when it swung from side to side.
Ditto.
In June 2006, the "Flying Dutchman" set ship was towed to Castaway Cay, Disney Cruise Line's private island, where it was displayed in promotion release of the movies.
Davy Jones and his 18-member crew of the Flying Dutchmen were entirely computer-generated, except for Bootstrap Bill. Bill Nighy wore a dark gray motion-capture suit with dozens of reference marks on his face and body while performing. ILM has refined the motion-capture system so that only two cameras were needed, compared with up to 16 in the past.
The music played during the pub brawl on Tortuga was not composed for the movie. It is a traditional piece called, appropriately, "Nine Points of Roguery".
The conch-man spoke Cantonese after his head was cut-off.
When the word "Tortuga" is set on fire on the deck, it is written in the trademark Disney font.
The shack by the river as the crew go to see Tia Dalma is identical to the shack on the far side of the river across from the boarding dock of the Magic Kingdom's "Jungle Cruise" ride in Orlando, Florida.
The pirate musical "band" that was playing in the inn at Tortuga are also from the ride. Notice the one playing the accordion.
Tia Dalma's swamp is a recreation of the opening bayou scene in the ride in Disneyland complete with fireflies.
During filming, the cast and crew had to be evacuated to Los Angeles because of Hurricane Wilma.
At $135,634,554 domestically in its opening weekend, this movie smashed the previous record of $114,844,116 that Spider-Man (2002) made. Aside from it being the all-time weekend record, this film also has the distinction of being the fastest motion picture to reach $100 million, accomplishing the feat in two days.
When Mr. Gibbs is enlisting new recruits at the tavern, a bunch of men are pulling a man out of a well, and he slowly spits out water. This is a recreation of a scene in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at the Walt Disney theme parks.
This is the first film to feature Disney's new logo, a computer-generated model of the Magic Kingdom, replacing the blue and white silhouette.
Deleted footage of Tortuga from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) was added to the final cut of this movie.
The dice game that Will Turner plays with Davy Jones is 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.
My cousin knows how to play it!
So yeah!
Have a great day everyone!!!
