Visible crew/equipment: When Vernita Green dies in the kitchen, during a close up, we can see a bright light reflected off the sweat on her neck. This is a crew light, as all the other light in the room is natural, coming from the window facing the other way, so it couldn't be reflected.
Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Quentin Tarantino
Starring: Uma Thurman, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, David Carradine, Julie Dreyfus
Revealing mistake: When the swordmaker writes "Bill" on the window, take a close look. The window has been wiped before (as happens at the end of the scene) and "re-steamed" - you can see the outlines of the wiping from earlier takes, with a clear contrast between that pane and the others. (00:52:45)
Vernita Green: I fucked you up. I fucked you up bad, I wish to God that I hadn't, but I did. Be that as it may, I know I don't deserve your mercy or forgiveness, however, I beseech you for both on behalf of my daughter.
The Bride: Bitch, you can stop right there. Just because I have no intention of killing you before the eyes of your daughter does not mean that parading her around in front of me is gonna inspire sympathy. You and I have unfinished business, and not a goddam fuckin thing you've done in the subsequent four years, including getting knocked up, is gonna change that.
Trivia: The tune that Elle Driver is whistling in the hospital is the theme from the movie 'Twisted Nerve' (1968)
Question: Why are there 2 swords on the plane with the bride?
Answer: There are more than 2. They are positioned similarly and look similar to The Bride's. So, Tarantino is saying The Bride isn't the only passenger with a kill list. This is where Tarantino reminds us that this is an allegory with The Bride representing all good people seeking revenge against the evil people who wronged them. A common theme in Tarantino films.
