My Fair Lady picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Professor Higgins is having Eliza practice saying the letter H by blowing into a tube to make the flame waver, the paper she's holding is actually Rex Harrison's lines. Once the paper starts to burn and the camera angle changes, you can read them and it's practically all of his lines for the whole scene.

First Men In The Moon picture

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene when Bedford hits the ceiling in the Cavorite-covered chair, the thick metal cable attaching the chair to the ceiling is visible to the right of Bedford. It is NOT, as I initially suspected, part of a lamp or some other bit of scenery - at one point you can actually see it move as it pulls Bedford up and down.

Visible crew/equipment: When Joe (Clint Eastwood) meets Ramón for the first time in the courtyard, they exchange a few words and then walk a short distance to a table to continue their conversation. As they walk the shadow of the boom microphone is cast on one of the pillars (the pillar with the man leaning against it and holding a rifle). (00:28:32)

The Brass Bottle picture

Visible crew/equipment: An angry aspiring home buyer tosses a tomato inside the office of Fakrash and Ventimore, but the rancid veggie boomerangs on him when the genie summoning his powers reverses the flow of time causing the tomato to fly where it came from. Well, that's the idea, while in fact you can see a literal stagehand actually throwing the tomato in the actor's face. (01:17:55)
