Lost (2004) - 9 mistakes in "Confidence Man"

Deliberate "mistake": In the episode where Shannon is having asthma attacks, Michael get some eucalyptus plants for Sun, but the plants he gives her aren't eucalyptus.

Revealing: After Sayid stabs Sawyer, in the wideshot when Jack pushes Sayid away, as Sawyer lies with his right arm outstretched the knife is nowhere to be seen. In the next close-up, the large, long-handled knife is protruding from Sawyer's upper arm at about a 90º angle. Given the angle and position of the knife, it should have been seen in the previous shot.

Continuity: While Sawyer is tied to a tree in the "jungle of mystery," Sayid throws water on Sawyer's face to wake him. The amount and pattern of water stain on Sawyer's tee shirt differs significantly in the following shots.

Continuity: When Claire is writing in her diary, in the close-up the large decorative bookmark hangs down from the book, yet in the next shot, as Charlie walks over, the bookmark is on the other side and under her fingers.

Continuity: When Sayid stabs Sawyer, in the close-up there are considerable blood stains on Sayid's white shirt, yet when Jack pushes Sayid off Sawyer all the blood has vanished. This continues to happen in all the following shots, when Jack tells Sayid to get his bag, and the amount and pattern of blood also significantly changes.

Continuity: Just after Sayid has woken Sawyer up by throwing water in his face, there is a shot of Sayid from behind the tree Sawyer is tied to, and you can see a bit of Sawyer's hair. However, it is hardly wet, if at all, and when the camera cuts back to Sawyer his hair is drenched again.

Continuity: When Sawyer is in bed with his girl, he puts his finger on her chin and says "What do you want right now?". When it cuts his hand is gone.

Continuity: At the start of the episode, Sawyer tells Jess he has $140,000. Later, when Sawyer is talking to his boss in the bar while playing pool, his boss says that he had $160,000.

Continuity: 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.
