Visible crew/equipment: When the crew lands, watch their helmets, you can see the microphone and the crew.
Red Planet (2000)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Antony Hoffman
Starring: Val Kilmer, Terence Stamp, Tom Sizemore, Benjamin Bratt, Carrie-Anne Moss, Simon Baker
Continuity mistake: In the earlier scenes on the planet's surface when the men still have their helmets on, it appears that the cameramen were also wearing space suits so that they would appear as crewmen on the visor reflections. Still too many people visible though.
Question: The ship is hit by a solar flare. But in that case shouldn't Earth advise them about the solar flare incoming? It is supposed that the Sun is constantly watched for solar flares, in case a human mission is en route. Shouldn't mission control on Earth be watching for any unusual solar activity to advise the crew? And they could warn them with time because radio waves go faster than solar flares.

Answer: The ship is not hit by a solar flare, it is hit by a gamma ray burst. It is a completely different, much more violent phenomena.
