Exodus (1) - S1-E23
Continuity mistake: While Jin is finishing up work on the raft, Sun walks over then holds out her translation notebook for Jin. In the shot facing Sun, she's gripping the notebook's spiral coil binding, but in the next shot facing Jin, she's gripping the top of the notebook. (00:36:30)
Continuity mistake: When Jin is packing to leave the cave, his backpack is wide open and unzipped when he swings it onto his right shoulder and then carries the fishing net. After a brief cut to Sun shouting in English, Jin is walking away carrying the net, and the backpack is still on his shoulder, only now it is zipped closed. (00:32:15)
Continuity mistake: When Boone tosses the statue out of the plane, in the close-up the entire statue shatters, and the heroine bags spill out as the head flies off to the side. But in the following shot, Locke picks up a large unbroken piece - the head and torso are intact with some bags still inside, and even that piece changes in the next shot. (00:32:50)
White Rabbit - S1-E5
Audio problem: While Claire is lying down, just after she says, "Our only hunter's gonna get eaten so he can get the pregnant girl some more water," we hear Charlie say, "I wouldn't worry about that," but his lips just begin to open mid-sentence, and he certainly doesn't say that. (00:24:40)
Exodus (2) - S1-E24
Revealing mistake: Locke is chased and grabbed by the "monster," and is subsequently pulled through the jungle on his stomach. Just after Jack jumps and grabs him, Terry O'Quinn's right pant leg comes up and his black shin pad is clearly visible, as he is being dragged. (00:04:06)
Continuity mistake: Episode 3-3: When the stick falls, John isn't wearing a backpack. But when he picks it up, he is suddenly wearing one. (00:02:40)
Tabula Rasa - S1-E3
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)
Continuity mistake: 4-3: When Sayid is in bed with the woman, his position changes depending on the angle.
Orientation - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: While Jack holds the gun on Desmond, who is running away, the stains on Desmond's garb change, particularly the very large reddish stain on the right side of his chest that disappears in the wide shots.
Revealing mistake: In Boone's flashback in the hotel, you can see the Sydney Opera House out the window which looks nice, except that in order to see the it from that perspective the hotel would need to be EXACTLY where the Harbour Bridge is, but there are no hotels in Sydney that could provide this angle of view. (00:36:00)
Tricia Tanaka is Dead - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: When Charlie is shaving, he cuts himself near his lip. Once he wipes the shaving cream away in the next shot, the cut disappears.
House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: At the party when Jin and Sun are standing together, Sun place her arms on Jin's shoulders. Her arm's position on the shoulders differ between the shots. (00:03:40)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: Just as Sayid walks out of the building (number on both doors is 815), the white van pulls up. When Sayid gets in, in the exterior shot, the door he opens is opened to Sayid's left, but in the next interior shot, the door is opened to Sayid's right (the door to his left is closed). In this shot the building is seen behind Sayid - note the number 815 on both doors have vanished, and the chipped wall paint differs. (00:33:55)
Continuity mistake: When Sayid holds the music box open, for Danielle to see, in the shots facing Sayid he holds it facing out towards Danielle, but in the shots facing Danielle, the box faces to the side. (00:28:35)
House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Revealing mistake: Sun's left earlobe has a cleft, but while Jin is still cuffed to the wreckage, Sun watches Michael head off through the trees (to cut firewood) and in this close-up it is Sun's right earlobe with the cleft. The shot is flipped. (00:28:40)
Continuity mistake: When Hurley is showing Charlie how to fish with a spear while standing in the water, the wet area on Hurley's tee shirt drastically changes between shots, such as going from being soaked up to his collar, but in the next shot dry till his waist.
House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: When Sun is asking Michael's help to free Jin, from behind, Michael's right arm is raised, but from the front, his left arm is raised, and the axe also switches hands. (00:30:10)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: At the Beachcraft crash site, when Locke hands Sayid the gun, in the shot facing Locke the metal tool chest on the airplane is closed, yet, it's wide open in the next shot. (00:25:50)
Continuity mistake: When Jack and Ana-Lucia are talking on the rocks by the beach at the end of the episode, Ana-Lucia's hair is pulled back and is completely off her face. However, in two of her close-ups, there are two small forelocks loose in the wind near her temples, which are not present in any other shots during this scene. (00:40:40)
Tricia Tanaka is Dead - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: Young Hurley (age 8-9) is shown with brown eyes, but the adult Hurley on the island has blue eyes. (00:02:00 - 00:25:00)
