Whatever the Case May Be - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: After Kate and Jack open the Halliburton case, when she finally removes the toy airplane from the envelope, the design of the wings and its engines are very different to the toy seen in other episodes, such as "Exodus 1". (00:35:00)

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.

Whatever the Case May Be - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Kate and Sawyer find the deceased crash victims underwater, as Sawyer takes the man's wallet and heads for the surface the corpse's tie floats up freely, his suit jacket is pulled way up, and his legs are spread apart. Yet, when Sawyer and Kate go back for the case, the neat tie and suit are on properly, and now the corpse's legs are suddenly crossed, albeit in a twisted sort of way. There are other changes in both the female and male corpses' positions between shots. (00:05:20 - 00:05:50)
Continuity mistake: When Jack joins Rose on the beach, he places a blue blanket round her shoulders. In the following shots while they sit together, until Rose and Jack stand up, the blanket moves around quite a bit, jumping on and off Rose's shoulders depending on camera angle.
Continuity mistake: When Claire visits the psychic for the second time, she is seen giving him AUS $100 (1 $50 note (yellow note) two $20 notes (red notes), and one $10 note (blue note)) but after the session she asks for her $200 back ($100 notes are green, and there is no sign of any green notes). (00:24:35)
Continuity mistake: Once Sun leaves the bathroom, Jin's hands begin to shake as he washes the blood off, in fact there is much more blood on his hands now to wash off. Suddenly there is a silver/red soap dispenser on the right of the faucet (this isn't the gold/red one on the left), where the bar of soap was earlier, and there are also two large white towels hanging on the bar, whereas there was only one in all the previous shots. The early part of this flashback is in "House of Rising Sun" and the additional last shot was filmed at a later date. (00:25:25)

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)
Continuity mistake: 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. (00:22:30)
