Pirates of the Caribbean: Pirates Aren’t Cowboys

In “Pirates of the Caribbean,” a surprising costume error stands out. During one scene, a background extra can be seen wearing a white T-shirt and a cowboy hat, which is wildly out of place for the 18th-century pirate setting. Pirates didn’t wear cowboy hats, making this mistake quite jarring.

The film, celebrated for its period accuracy, slips up here, giving viewers a good chuckle. Although not in a crucial scene, this costume blunder remains an amusing oddity in an otherwise carefully crafted movie. Such mistakes are rare in a film of this scale, but they add an unexpected layer of humor for attentive fans.
