Lost ( 2004 )

Revealing mistake: When Kate pulls Ray from the burning pickup, he has bloody bruises at the center and right side of his forehead. As she drags him across the grass, in the shot when she grunts, the bruises on his forehead are at the center and left side of his forehead. This shot is flipped. (00:03:15)

Revealing mistake: When Sayid, Kate, Sawyer and the others make camp for the night, on their way back from hearing the French woman's transmission, they sit around the fire talking. Sawyer has a cut over his right eye, but in every other close-up of Sawyer the cut is over his left eye. The shots are flipped. (00:03:35)

Continuity mistake: When Charlie takes the suitcase from Claire, he puts it on the wheel chair. At first the suitcase lies straight on the wheel chair. When it cuts it's askew. (00:14:30)

Continuity mistake: When Sun brings the luggage to Jin her face is mildly dirty. After Jin says, "Go wash up," in the next shot facing Jin, Sun's entire face is filthy, yet when she turns it's just a bit dirty again. (00:15:25)

Audio problem: When Charlie helps Claire with her bag, Claire remarks, "So you guys hiked all the way up that mountain for nothing," and in the next shot she keeps talking, but nothing is heard. (00:16:20)

Continuity mistake: When Kate is in the closet, she removes a jar from the shelf. There is at least one jar left, on the left side of the jar she picked up. When it cuts the jar on the left is suddenly gone. (00:17:00)

Continuity mistake: Inside the closet, when Kate is about to turn the lights off, she is reaching out with her left arm to turn it off. When it cuts it's her right arm turning it off. (00:17:25)

Audio problem: When the farmer says, "You've been here for almost three months now, and every time I ask you," to Kate, it cuts, showing the farmer from behind saying "you get that look on your eyes," but his mouth isn't moving at all during the last sentence. (00:17:45)

Continuity mistake: When Kate leans over the unconscious marshal he wakes and chokes her, and when Jack subdues him the marshal's large head bandage falls off. When Jack squeezes water into the marshal's mouth, the bandages are wrapped perfectly round his head, yet when Kate stands up the bandages are off again. (00:19:30)

Revealing mistake: When Kate is in Ray's pickup, as they drive down the road, she looks into her side view mirror twice, over a minute apart. Firstly, the road that passes in the view reflected in the mirror is perfectly identical in both instances that Kate looks at it, which is impossible - the same shot is used twice. Secondly, the road that passes Ray's truck is completely different to the road that passes in the view reflected in the side mirror, they are obviously edited together. (00:21:55)

Visible crew/equipment: When Michael is searching for Vincent, he stops in the jungle and the camera pans round him. In one shot, you can make out a light screen and camera. Slo-mo helps but is not essential. (00:24:10)

Continuity mistake: While the marshal groans in the distance, Kate assembles the firewood on the beach, and when Sawyer tosses the lighter to Kate, then joins her, the firewood differs between shots. (00:27:50)

Continuity mistake: When the marshal and Ray drive their vehicles down the long road, the endless line of telephone poles are on their left as they drive, with barren land on their right. However, when they pass the third vehicle the poles are on their right and then repeatedly change sides in the following shots. (This has nothing to do with camera angles.) (00:30:10)

Continuity mistake: When Ray and Kate are in the pickup, in the shot facing the oncoming vehicle as it beeps, Ray is driving in his right lane. In the next shot, whilst the vehicle still beeps, as the marshal pulls behind Ray, the marshal and Ray are both driving in their left lane. However, in the next shot, facing the beeping vehicle, Ray is driving in his right lane and then starts to pull over to his left. (00:30:10)

Continuity mistake: When Marshal Mars pulls behind Ray's pickup, as the third vehicle beeps, the camera pans to the back of the cab. The cab window, behind Kate and Ray, is slid open to allow a clear view of the marshal pulling behind. In previous and following shots, the windows behind them are closed. (00:30:15)

Revealing mistake: With Marshal Mars in pursuit, as Ray drives his pickup, he holds the steering wheel with his left hand, and his stiff prosthetic right arm is down at his side. When Kate grabs for the steering wheel, in the side exterior shot the stunt driver is quite noticeable, as he grips and turns the steering wheel with his good right hand/arm. (00:30:40)

Continuity mistake: When Ray's pickup truck swerves off the road, it flips and the tailgate completely breaks off, yet in the following shots the bright red tailgate remains intact. (00:30:45)

Continuity mistake: When Kate pulls Ray from the burning pickup, in the first shot as she drags him across the grass his overall suspenders are not on - they are not clasped shut. However, as Kate drags him, a few shots later the suspenders are properly clasped on. (00:30:50)

Revealing mistake: When Kate is with Ray in his pickup, he wears his wedding band on his left hand, and his right arm is prosthetic. After the wreck, when Kate pulls him from the cab and onto the grass, he wears his ring on his right hand (which is supposed to be prosthetic); the door and Kate's bracelet are also on the wrong side - obviously a flipped shot.
