Exodus (1) - S1-E23
Continuity mistake: When Sun and Jin sit at the table at the airport, both cups' lids are on properly, yet for the "spill shot" one lid is askew, and Sun's hand changes between shots to be in perfect position to knock the cup over. Things on the table instantly change positions, such as the clear plastic croissant container that jumps back onto the red tray. This applies to Exodus 2, as well. (00:12:10)
House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: The gold watch disappears from Michael's wrist in the wide shots, when Jin is attacking and trying to kill him, but reappears in the close-ups during the attack. (00:05:20)
White Rabbit - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: When Claire gets to Kate and sits down with her talking to her, Kate gives her a bottle of water. Then Claire asks "What are you doing?" and then puts the bottle to her mouth. When it cuts from behind her she has suddenly lowered the bottle. (00:08:40)
Whatever the Case May Be - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: At the bank, when Kate asks for the bank's key to box 815, she holds her key up in front of her face. In the following close-ups of Kate, the way she holds the key noticeably differs depending on camera angle. (00:34:40)
Whatever the Case May Be - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Kate is in the bank office with her accomplice, Jason puts his right arm all the way around Kate's neck when they kiss, but in the next shot it's gone as his left hand is now on her face. (00:20:05)
Continuity mistake: When Shannon is talking to Locke about Boone staying out of her business, her hair changes between each shot. It is very noticeable, she goes from having no hair on her face, to having a lot hanging down the side of her face. (00:19:30)
Continuity mistake: In the film, the hair on Marvin Candle changes from the original film to the one that Mr. Eko found. It is much shorter on the recovered clip.
Exodus (2) - S1-E24
Revealing mistake: When Jack hangs onto Locke, after Kate throws the dynamite into the hole, in Locke's next close-up, the wound on his forehead (grazed from Shannon's bullet) is on his right, whereas it's normally on his left. The shot is flipped. (00:05:00)
Exodus (1) - S1-E23
Continuity mistake: When Walt notices the pillar of black smoke, in the overhead shot everyone gathers well behind the raft, including Claire, who was just sitting in front of the bushes in the previous shot. However, in the next shot, all the survivors are now gathered at the side of the raft. (00:08:30)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: In the garage, when Haddad tells Essam and Sayid to stay relaxed and focused, his collared shirt is on properly, but in the next shot, as he says, "Drive with the windows down," the shirt is off his right shoulder. This happens again when Essam takes the gun. (00:34:40)
Continuity mistake: In this episode Jack works on an old crippled man to try and perform another "miracle." Remember, this is supposed to be in Jack's past. When he's looking at the x-rays in the beginning, take a look at the dates on them. They're November 16, 2005. In the last episode of season 2, Desmond says that the plane crashed in September 2004.
Whatever the Case May Be - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Kate and Sawyer go underwater to retrieve the case, in a close-up it is easy to see that the male corpse is barefoot. But in a following close-up, when Sawyer swims up with the Halliburton case - just as the words "Production Designer Carlos Barbosa" appear onscreen - in this specific shot the man is actually wearing a black shoe on his left foot. (00:06:15)
White Rabbit - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: When Jack hangs off the cliff, he grips a vine covered in a multitude of leaves in the wide shots, but in the three tight close-ups his hand is dramatically shown slipping down a vine, without any leaves on or around it. He also remains at the same height position the entire time. (00:21:30)
Continuity mistake: When Jin gets out of the car and goes into the hotel, there is a sign that says it's the second floor. However when it cuts to him hitting the man in the face, it's now the 15th floor. (00:26:20)
All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: As Jack performs CPR on Charlie, in the close-ups of Charlie, the twine lies curled under Charlie's head and his right hand rests on his chest, but in all the wide shots the long twine is spread all the way out, under/behind Charlie's head, and his right arm is stretched out to his side. (00:34:20)
Exodus (1) - S1-E23
Continuity mistake: In the hotel room, while Walt watches TV and when Michael runs after him, the pillows, things on the table, etc., move around between shots. (00:01:20)
Flashes Before Your Eyes - S3-E8
Other mistake: In the series 3 episode "Flashes Before Your Eyes", several scenes purport to take place in England. However, the poster for the Royal Scots Guards which Desmond looks at as he passes the Army recruitment office has the American spelling for "honour".
Continuity mistake: After Sawyer admits to Kate that he doesn't have the inhalers, Sayid and he get into a tussle. In the first shot, the back of Sayid's white shirt is fairly clean as he is standing, but in the next wider shot the back is completely filthy - before he and Sawyer ever even hit the ground. (00:30:10)
Tricia Tanaka is Dead - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: When Sawyer helps push the minivan, there are small holes on his tee shirt's collar and a large hole on the seam of his left sleeve. When he walks back into camp with the beer, the large hole is now on his right sleeve, and the left is intact. Neither are flipped shots. (00:22:30 - 00:37:30)
Visible crew/equipment: When Jack, Michael, Hurley and Charlie play their first game of golf together, another survivor named Sullivan finds them. In Sullivan's close-ups, the clear reflection of the reflector screen is visible in his eyeglass lenses. (00:22:20)
Answer: He was eating a peice of an orange with the skin still on.
