The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: At the Beachcraft crash site, when Locke hands Sayid the gun, in the shot facing Locke the metal tool chest on the airplane is closed, yet, it's wide open in the next shot. (00:25:50)
Tabula Rasa - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: When Sayid, Kate, Sawyer and the others make camp for the night, on their way back from hearing the French woman's transmission, they sit around the fire talking. Sawyer has a cut over his right eye, but in every other close-up of Sawyer the cut is over his left eye. The shots are flipped. (00:03:35)
Exodus (2) - S1-E24
Continuity mistake: On the raft, when Michael walks over to Jin with the translation notebook, as Jin tinkers with the rudder, Jin's hand and handcuff change repeatedly in the following shots. (00:47:15)
Continuity mistake: When Boone is tied up, with the goo in his hair, Locke has only his backpack slung over his left shoulder, when he holds the sheath in his left hand as he raises his right arm to throw the knife. After a brief cut to shocked Boone, Locke is in mid-throw and suddenly his second bag is slung diagonally across his chest and shoulder. (00:14:55)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: When Jack wakes from his close encounter with Kate's sleeping pills, in the close-up his white pillow lies on the blue seat cushion, but in the next shot it lies on the grey blanket, which is spread over the cushions. (00:32:45)
Do No Harm - S1-E20
Revealing mistake: Jack's left arm is bandaged from Boone's blood transfusion. After the shot of Shannon, as she cries over Boone, Jack sits on the beach in the wide shot and the bandage is on his right arm, but in the following shots it's on his left. Yet another flipped shot. (00:41:35)
House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: 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. (00:05:15)
Continuity mistake: When Locke throws the knife towards a tied up Boone, it lands at a 45º angle away from him. When Locke leaves, the knife is now upright at a perfect 90º angle. (00:15:00)
House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Revealing 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. (00:39:40)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: When Charlie walks with the crying baby on the beach, he meets Hurley and later Sawyer, and then later when Sawyer reads the "engine story" to sooth Turniphead, throughout these shots the baby's blanket constantly jumps off, on, off, etc. (00:23:40)
Visible crew/equipment: When Boone climbs up the vines toward the plane, in the first wide shot there is a rather conspicuous round CG blur at Boone's left hip that moves as he moves. Then, in some following wide shots the black stunt belt at Boone's waist is perfectly visible as he makes his way up. In Boone's close-ups no such aids are on his body. (00:30:35)
Exodus (2) - S1-E24
Continuity mistake: When Sayid goes over to Shannon to help her with her luggage her trunk falls down open and some clothes fall out. Then Sayid picks up some shirts. But when it cuts to Shannon grabbing them from him he is holding fewer and different looking shirts than he picked up first. (00:16:15)
Exodus (1) - S1-E23
Continuity mistake: When Danielle approaches the beach campsite, in his close-ups, Walt hides beside a tree and holds it with his left hand. However, in the shot between his close-ups, facing Danielle, Walt is hunched over with his hands leaning on his knees. (00:03:30)
Exodus (1) - S1-E23
Continuity mistake: On the way to the Black Rock, when Danielle removes her sweater Locke notices the long scratches on her arm. Later, when Claire questions Danielle the scratches are very different and their positions differ. (00:24:30)
Whatever the Case May Be - S1-E12
Revealing mistake: At the bank, when Kate shoots her accomplice in the leg, the small square indentation on the pants, around the bullet hole, where the stunt device is located, is rather obvious. (00:33:20)
All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: After Boone ties the red shirt around the tree, he places a red shirt on his shoulder. The position and width of it changes between shots. (00:16:00)
Continuity mistake: When Hurley returns and gives the battery to Jack, Hurley says "She says hey". Then it cuts to a close-up of Sayid and we can see the bag's strap going over his shoulder. When it cuts the strap is gone. (00:35:25)
Whatever the Case May Be - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Kate and Sawyer begin their swim, Kate is not wearing a bracelet on either wrist, as she heads into the water. In a few following shots, including when Sawyer goes to "See what they got on em," Kate wears a bracelet on her right wrist, but when they head down to retrieve the case, the bracelet is gone as she pulls on the case. After Sawyer frees the case, in Kate's close-up the bracelet reappears, but now it's on her left wrist, yet when they reach the surface the bracelet's on her right wrist. Whew! (00:03:10)
House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: 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. (00:20:20)
Exodus (1) - S1-E23
Continuity mistake: When the group stops to rest on their way to the Black Rock, as Locke speaks to Danielle, he holds the right or left backpack straps with either his right or left hand, depending on camera angle. (00:25:45)
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.
