Mad Max

Visible crew/equipment: About half an hour into the film, following the scene where the two people are rescued, there is a shot of a guy stopping on a motorcycle. He tells a man, "Johnny, the boy has done it again." Right as the camera is tracking across his bike, the head of the camera operator casts a shadow on it. (00:30:50)

Visible crew/equipment: In the widescreen edition DVD, when Max's wife tugs at the chain on the back of the car after they have escaped the gang members, before she sees the ripped-off hand tied to it, you can see a crew member's hand holding the chain. (01:00:50)

Visible crew/equipment: After the bikers finish revving their engines (when they first arrive in town) there are a couple of close-ups of some of the bikers. One of the bikers starts unstrapping his headgear, as he does this four bright stagelights are reflected in the helmets visor.

Visible crew/equipment: When Goose is interrogating the stoned biker he turns around and says "Take your time Charlie, we've got plenty of it", when he turns you can see the feet of the camera operator reflected in his glasses. It cannot be the other policeman as he is in the other room.

Continuity mistake: When Goose is ambushed by the bikers, one of them throws a brake drum through the windshield of his car, making Goose lose control and crash. As the car begins rolling down the hill, you can clearly see a silver-helmeted stunt driver falling across the front seat bench.
