Born to Run - S1-E22

Born to Run - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Kate is fleeing with Tom in the car, she slams into the State Trooper's car and the right front end is damaged and a piece of the bumper hangs down. Just after Kate's next close-up, in the next shot from behind, the bumper is fine. (00:33:20)

Continuity mistake: At the motel, when Kate asks for the envelope addressed to Joan Hart, the employee searches through the box with many envelopes sticking out of the box. However, in the next shot, as he finds it no other envelopes are visible, and when he hands it to her, her sunglasses are now upside down.

Born to Run - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Tom removes the toy airplane from the lunchbox, the three propeller pieces are completely broken off of the left wing engine (all are intact on its right wing). Yet, earlier on the island, when Kate twirls the airplane in the air, before Charlie joins her, the left wing engine has grown one piece of propeller that is unbroken. There are other moments such as this, in other episodes. (00:02:40 - 00:23:50)

Born to Run - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Kate burns Joanna's passport photo in the close-up the corner of the book burns up, yet in the wider shot the corner does not burn, and in the next shot another change, including the lighter. Later, when Sawyer holds up the passport, the burned page edge is just a bit singed. (00:10:30 - 00:29:00)

Deux Ex Machina - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: When Jack speaks to Michael and Jin, as they build the raft, and then when he walks up the beach and inquires about Sawyer's trouble with his head, the backpack that Jack carries on his back is nylon, black/green with white trim. Yet, when Sawyer asks, "Sensitivity to light, that bad?" the backpack is suddenly transformed into solid black leather, of an entirely different style. Then, in following shots it jumps back and forth. (00:16:40)

Season 1 generally

Question: When Claire is pregnant with her baby, her belly looks very realistic. Does anyone know how they make it look so real?

Answer: Using a mold, a realistic pregnancy belly is made of latex (rubber), including the distinct belly button, to suit the proportions of Emilie de Ravin who plays Claire. It is then painted with a special paint/adhesive compound that adheres to the surface and for shots of the actual belly, additional veining and stretch marks are airbrushed on.
