Visible crew/equipment: The car with the Boynton clan nearly runs over a member of the British Parliament. Tragedy is averted, but Emily replies with a scoff and "Blaaah." In the car window, you can see behind Lauren Bacall some guy with a red baseball cap that doesn't quite fit the setting and doesn't appear elsewhere (reasonable to assume it's the cameraman).

Appointment With Death (1988)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Michael Winner
Starring: Carrie Fisher, Lauren Bacall, Peter Ustinov, John Gielgud
Factual error: Poirot meets the rest of the cast at the port of Trieste before they sail off for Jaffa. In actuality though, they already were in Jaffa, which served double duty acting as a very poor stand-in for Trieste; the architecture of the port and promenade is nothing like Trieste's, and you can see in the establishing shot Jaffa's St. Peter's church. (00:08:30)
Hercule Poirot: People like to talk, and in doing so they tell the truth. It puts less of a strain on the memory.
