MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: The farmer tells Kate that he saw her photo in the post office, and that her capture would result in a $23,000 reward. Australian wanted posters are usually in the police station (post offices never have them), and normally do not specify rewards.
CONT: In the car-chase flashback, the red truck flips over, off the hill and the tailgate breaks off. The next scene shows the truck in upright position, with the tailgate still on.
FAKE: When Kate is in the car with the Australian farmer, the image was horizontally flipped to appear how Australian cars have right-side drivers and left-lane driving. As the U.S. Marshall's GMC truck pulls alongside, the "C" from the grill logo is visible in the farmer's rear view mirror when its reflection should be horizontally flipped.
CONT: The bandage on the marshal's head disappears once between cuts after Michael pushed him back on the ground.
CONT: In flashbacks to the airplane clash, the flight attendant says "The captain has switched on the fasten seat belts sign," but in the first episode she says "The pilot has switched on the fasten seat belts sign" in what is clearly the same message.
