Jack's Scar

With the surgery the huge part of the show, surely this is NOT a continuity error. In the one shot of Jack he has a big ol' scar and then in the next shot NO scar. Is there something going on here?

This season has been riddled with both bloopers and continuity errors. I think this is due to the break-neck speed at which they are filming. just my opinion.

In the first screen shot, you're seeing him in a mirror. His scar appears to be on his left when its actually on his right side. In the second screen shot, the scar is not visible because hes turned slightly to the right.

the light on that second photo is just brutal. LOL.

Really? Bloopers and continuity errors like what?

lol I was thinking the same thing.

the scar is so faint, i doubt it could show up in the second shot.

I noticed it was seen in the mirror but not otherwise too. I've checked all the opening scene and the only time you see the scar is in the mirror. Mirrors played a prominant role in this episode - seeing the scar in it - needing one for the operation too. Through the looking glass?

Like this!
episode 4x01:1.Randy's camera has its cap still on.(Randy is Locke's and Hurley's old boss)
2.Minkowski's voice is different from the one heard in "Through the Looking Glass."
episode 4x03:1.When Sayid shoots Mr. Avellino in the golf course, objects around the area are casting shadows. At the next overhead shot, all the shadows are gone.
2.The menu in the restaurant where Sayid meets Elsa features numerous spelling errors: "Tages Menu" ("menu of the day"; correct would be "Tageskarte". "Tagesmenü" would be a table d'hôte of the day); "Grilltes Huhnerfilet mit Gemüse" ("grilled chicken filet with vegetables"; correct would be "Gegrilltes Hühnerfilet mit Gemüse"); "Steak mit Knobloch Kartoffen" ("steak with garlic potatoes"; correct would be "Steak mit Knoblauchkartoffeln"); and "Gulash mit Bratkartoffen" ("goulash with roast potatoes"; correct would be "Gulasch mit Bratkartoffeln").
3.At the place Elsa marks on the map there is no restaurant. At this place is the Humboldt University of Berlin.
However, the 'Cafe Odeon' is within the area Elsa circled
4.After Sayid exits the bar, a building in the background can be seen sporting two flags, the German State Flag and the Bavarian flag, both of which are normally flown only above government buildings. This property, however, has stores on its floor level, which is rather unusual for a government establishment.
5.Berlin is not in the state of Bavaria, making a Bavarian flag highly unlikely
6.The triangular traffic sign warning about pedestrians crossing the road is typically used on country roads rather than the city. The additional sign "Mo-Fr 16-24 h Sa u. So 9-24 h Bewohner mit Parkausweis für Zone 29 frei" limits the warning to the given times and excludes residents with "Zone 29" parking permit completely. Also, the sign is of a different design than German traffic signs and the text would have been split to two additional signs.
7.There are no yellow stripes on sidewalks in Germany.
8.Dustbins in Berlin are generally orange.
9.The green Brazilian passport found in Ben's drawer has three mistakes. An authentic Brazilian passport would read "Brasil" , "Passaporte" and "República" rather than the English "Brazil" , "Passport" and "Republica" that are seen in the episode. Similar mistakes were made on Paulo's passport in Exposé
This could have been intentional on the props department's behalf, as it is illegal to produce fake passports.
10.The money in Ben's drawer is obiously fake: The 50 Euro bills are missing holograms.
11.When the helicopter takes off there are shots where Naomi's body should be seen, but is missing.
There are more, just look at the articles for each episode on Lostpedia. (where I got all this info from)
