Character mistake: Throughout the whole series Jin and Sun refer to each other as "yobo." The subtitles continually translate "yobo" as either "Jin" or "Sun" which is incorrect. "Yobo" is Korea's version of "dear" or "sweetheart."
The End (2) - S6-E18
Continuity mistake: As Locke stabs Jack's neck in their final battle, the wound is visible, above the neck line of his shirt. Once the rain stops and Jack speaks of his plan and kisses Kate, the wound is missing for the entire scene. The wound reappears on his neck during Jack's scene with Hurley and Ben at the cave opening. During the final sequence as Jack lies down and closes his eyes, the wound is visible in most shots, but in the final two wide shots, the dry blood make-up appears to be coming off and once again there is no neck wound.
Continuity mistake: At the end, when we see Ben lighting a candle with a matchstick in the cathedral during the entering of Eloise, he puts out the matchstick so we see that the flame is gone. In the next shot, the flame is back and Ben is doing exactly the same thing, but we see it from another view.
Continuity mistake: Ses. 5, ep. 5, "This Place is Death". When Daniel is telling Charlotte that he has a plan, and explains, "When we were back at the hatch, I talked to Desmond", he places his left hand on top of his right, holding Charlotte's hand between them (seen at bottom of the screen). When the angle changes to a shot above his shoulder, his left hand is suddenly back under Charlotte's head, with no time to move between shots. (00:32:50)
Continuity mistake: In the very beginning of the pilot episode, Jack runs out of the jungle. He looks around and hears distant screams. While he is looking around, you can see through the bushes that there is nothing but beach on the other side. But when he turns around, the entire beach just on the other side of that bush is filled with wreckage. The wreckage would have been visible from the other side of the bush had it been there.
Other mistake: In the scene with Sawyer and Michael drifting on the pontoon, where Michael is crying, you briefly see a boat with a mast in the background in one shot over Sawyer's right shoulder as he faces the screen, just before he says "Are you allright Mike?".
Continuity mistake: 6-01-02 - LAX: When Sayid is drownd and laid on a carpet, his head swaps from being by the edge of it almost out, to several inches inside the carpet.
Continuity mistake: "The Variable": When Faraday is on about the variables, he has his jotter in his hands. Camera does a quick cut and it's now on the floor.
Continuity mistake: When Miles and Hurley deliver The Package, the way it's held is constantly changing.
Continuity mistake: The blood on Juliette's mask changes drastically between shots. (00:08:15)
Ab Aeterno - S6-E9
Factual error: Season 6, episode 9 "Ab Aeterno": The episode is supposed to take place in the Canary Islands, Spain. However all the characters speak with either Mexican, Puerto Rican, or Cuban accents. In the 19th century there wasn't such a blend of American cultures.
The Man Behind the Curtain - S3-E20
Continuity mistake: When Ben and his father climbs up the hill in the camper, there are obvious dents on the front-right and rear-right of the camper. But the camper looks brand-new when they stop on top of the hill. (00:35:50)
Left Behind - S3-E15
Character mistake: Kate's car is shown being towed, because, according to the tow-truck driver, "your fan belt is shot" The car in the scene is a 1988 to 1994 Buick Regal 2dr, which came with 2 engine options, a 3.1L and a 3.8l v6, both transversal engines. So, there could not be a "fan belt" on that car, as the pair of radiator fans on it were electrical. In any case, "your drive belt is shot" would have been the correct term to use, to describe the specific belt failure on that car. (00:02:19)
Homecoming - S1-E15
Continuity mistake: At the end of Jack's fight, Ethan has 5 blood trails on his face that disappear briefly. (00:34:00)
Homecoming - S1-E15
Continuity mistake: During the fight between Ethan and Jack you can see as Ethan rams Jack against the tree, his tattoo has switched sides. (00:33:20)
Homecoming - S1-E15
Continuity mistake: When Boone runs into the jungle in daylight he holds his stick at an angle pointing up. We then see a closeup shot of his hands holding the stick and it's horizontal. (00:21:00)
Homecoming - S1-E15
Continuity mistake: When Charlie examines the snuffbox, its position rotates 90°. (00:14:20)
Homecoming - S1-E15
Visible crew/equipment: When the camera pans onto Churchill's snuffbox, the cameraman and camera can be seen moving in the silver lacquer. (00:14:20)
Homecoming - S1-E15
Continuity mistake: When Charlie is talking to Claire explaining where she sleeps etc, Claire's hair is constantly switching between tucked behind her ear and hanging free without her touching it. (00:05:00)
Answer: He was eating a peice of an orange with the skin still on.
