Visible crew/equipment: When Shakespeare enters the bedroom with the Romeo and Juliet first act, he discovers Mr. Tilney is having sex. As Tilney gets out of the bed, you can see what looks like a microphone above his trousers.
Shakespeare in Love (1998)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: John Madden
Starring: Gwyneth Paltrow, Judi Dench, Tom Wilkinson, Geoffrey Rush, Joseph Fiennes
Revealing mistake: When Shakespeare is getting dressed and talking with Viola in the bedroom, you get a quick glimpse of Joseph Fiennes' modern day men's briefs under his tunic.
Queen Elizabeth: Have her then, but you're a lordly fool: she's been plucked since I saw her last, and not by you. Takes a woman to know it.
Trivia: Dame Judi Dench won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Queen Elizabeth I, even though she only had approximately 12 minutes of screen time.
Question: Why is Rupert Everett not credited? His part certainly merits it.

Chosen answer: Actors, on occasions, choose not to be credited - generally if they're appearing in a relatively small role, one smaller than you'd generally expect that person to play.
