Of course the bag appeared whole later. Just as Mola Ram used the power of the Sankara stones to remove the sacrificial victims hearts, after which the wound closed, the stones were able to pass through the bag, then the leather closed over the hole. The flames were merely an illusion. ;-) And if you believe that...

: A lot of times the changing of distance between shots has to do with different focal lengths of the lens used for each shot. A longer focal length will compress the distances between objects while a short wide angle lens will make them look farther apart. A good example of where this effect could have been used more is the scene where they start digging for the Well of the Souls. They are right in front of the Germans! A wider lens would have helped make it look further away. These films are notoious for their continuity errors, though. I'm sure there are many many more to list, but In ToD You forgot the Mk VII bag that gets a whole burnt in it from the stones and then is back to normal!
