Continuity mistake: Season 3, episode 2, "The Glass Ballerina". When Jin is in the hotel and is about to kill Jae Lee, he holds a pillow to Lee's head and presses his gun against it. At first, the gun is pointing to Lee's cheekbone, but when it cuts to Lee as he is sobbing "I'm sorry. I'm sorry", the gun is much lower, and pointing to his throat. Cut back to Jin, and you can see the gun is once again pointing to Lee's face. There was no time for Jin to move it between shots, and Lee did not move nearly enough to cause this changes. (00:26:50)
Continuity mistake: When Jin gets out of the car and goes into the hotel, there is a sign that says it's the second floor. However when it cuts to him hitting the man in the face, it's now the 15th floor. (00:26:20)
Flashes Before Your Eyes - S3-E8
Other mistake: In the series 3 episode "Flashes Before Your Eyes", several scenes purport to take place in England. However, the poster for the Royal Scots Guards which Desmond looks at as he passes the Army recruitment office has the American spelling for "honour".
Tricia Tanaka is Dead - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: When Sawyer helps push the minivan, there are small holes on his tee shirt's collar and a large hole on the seam of his left sleeve. When he walks back into camp with the beer, the large hole is now on his right sleeve, and the left is intact. Neither are flipped shots. (00:22:30 - 00:37:30)
Continuity mistake: Episode 3-3: When the stick falls, John isn't wearing a backpack. But when he picks it up, he is suddenly wearing one. (00:02:40)
Factual error: In the first flashback, when Charlie first hears himself on the radio, there is a close-up of the UK number-plate on the front of the van. It is the wrong colour: this is a yellow plate. As it is on the front of the van, it should be white. Only rear plates in the UK are yellow. This false plate was made up in mirror-image by the production company, as the actual van used was Left-Hand Drive. The whole scene, apart from the shot of the radio, was filmed and then flipped for the final cut, to make the van appear to be Right-Hand Drive as you'd find in the UK. Hence the moles on the right of Charlie's neck are on his left in this scene. (00:04:20)
Through The Looking Glass (2) - S3-E23
Continuity mistake: When Charlie is about to die, the text written on his hand keeps changing from light to bold and back to light between shots.
Through The Looking Glass (1) - S3-E22
Continuity mistake: When the entire camp is heading up to the radio tower they head up the beach with the water on their right side. After the title screen shows they are walking with the water on their left side. They are going in the opposite direction as before. (00:09:10)
Tricia Tanaka is Dead - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Vincent is running towards Charlie and Hugo, between shots the arm he is carrying in his mouth changes positions. (00:05:10)
Continuity mistake: When John loses his voice, he uses a pad to communicate with Charlie. He writes "I need you to stand guard" in one scene and later shows the same message to Charlie. In the second scene, although it is supposed to be the same message, guard is misspelled "gaurd."
Continuity mistake: The blood on Juliette's mask changes drastically between shots. (00:08:15)
Through The Looking Glass (2) - S3-E23
Continuity mistake: When Jack hands the walkie-talkie to Ben, the way he holds it differs between the two angles. In one angle, he is gripping it; in the other, he is holding it on his flat palm. (00:10:30)
Through The Looking Glass (1) - S3-E22
Continuity mistake: On the plane, Jack's paper is on the armrests until he notices the article; at which point, it is now on the seat next to him. Pay attention to the black marker on the seat. The amount visible changes. (00:02:10)
Continuity mistake: When John is playing chess, we see him make a move, followed by the computer making a move. It's now John's move, but when he makes his move, all the pieces are in different positions. The screen is in shot all the time, and we don't see him make another move explaining the moved pieces. (00:28:00)
Tricia Tanaka is Dead - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: In the VW bus, Charlie says "Victory or death." He has his hand raised in one shot but not in the second angle. (00:34:10)
Continuity mistake: At the very start, when Ecko and Yemi break into the shed, the hand holding the packet of biscuits on Yemi changes between shots. (00:01:30)
Continuity mistake: When John wakes up, the right-hand side of his head is covered in blood, both fresh and dried. When he's looking at Ecko's stick, his head has no blood on it. Fresh or dried. (00:02:40)
Answer: He was eating a peice of an orange with the skin still on.
