Lost (2004) - 14 mistakes in "House of the Rising Sun"

Continuity: After Jin is pulled off Michael, when Sawyer removes the marshal's handcuffs from his pocket there is a very short link chain dangling - about a couple of inches. However, when Jin is cuffed to the wreckage the link chain is considerably longer - about a foot.

Visible crew/equipment: While Jin is cuffed to the wreckage, Sun points to her wrist and explains in Korean, but Sayid shouts, "The cuffs stay on!" At the start of the next shot, a crewmember's arm is seen holding the reflector screen to Sawyer's left, as he makes a sarcastic comment.

Continuity: 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.

Continuity: 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.

Revealing: When Jack and Kate run from the bees, they enter the cave, and when they remove their tee shirts Jack's back and sides are perfectly visible. There is not even the slightest hint of any kind of scar, on the left side of Jack's back, from the nasty cut that Kate recently sewed up with the black thread.

Deliberate "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.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Kate asks Jack if she is checking her out after he walks past her, in the top left corner you can see a black boom microphone appear in the shot for a second. (Not visible on DVD.)

Continuity: When Jin attacks Michael, the wreckage on the beach beside the wheels is seen behind Sun, as she shouts at Jin. When Jin is handcuffed the wreckage on the beach differs, there is noticeably much more in that area.

Deliberate "mistake": After Jack brings some survivors back to the cave, there is a shot of Hurley turning on his CD player to listen to Willie Nelson. In the next shot of Jack, as he fills bottles with water, his large tattoo is on his right upper arm, but normally it is on his left. The shot is flipped.

Continuity: As Kate and Jack head back to the beach, while Jack explains why they should move to the caves, when Kate lifts the bag and slings it round her shoulder, opposite sides of the bag face out between the first and second shots. Then, in the third shot it hangs from her shoulder very differently.

Continuity: The way Sun is holding the puppy change between the shots.

Continuity: When Jin comes home, he heads straight for the bathroom and washes blood off his hands. Blood stains on his white shirt change between shots, including one rather large blood stain on his right sleeve which disappears.

Continuity: 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.

Continuity: When Jack is packing water bottles in to the sack and Locke says "I think one of us should stay and help Charlie salvage the wreckage", you see Jack putting a bottle in to the sack. His hands are now empty, but when it cuts he suddenly has a new bottle in his hand which he puts in to the sack.
