Visible crew/equipment: During the landstrider sequence, before they reach the Crystal castle, you can just make out in one shot, the safety wire attached to the performer as he runs. (DVD extras says the landstrider performers had these wires all the time but this is the only time you see them).

The Dark Crystal is a dramatic puppet-populated fantasy adventure film created by Jim Henson, without any humans present, set on a world dominated by hateful, selfish reptilian beings known as Skeksis that drain others of their life-force so they can continue their decadent and evil ways indefinitely. Only good, elf-like creatures called Gelflings can break their dominion and save their dying and tormented world! A great family classic with dark elements, The Dark Crystal provides lessons in courage, hope, perseverance and working together toward a good cause! Root for Jen and Kira as they strive to win the day.
More mistakes in The Dark Crystal
Jen: When single shines the triple sun, what was sundered and undone, shall be whole the two made one, by Gelfling hand or else by none.
Trivia: The Garthim costumes were so heavy and hard to get in and out of that oftentimes the costumed actors were suspended on a rig to allow them to take breaks between takes according to The Making Of The Dark Crystal Feature on the DVD.
Question: I believe I read somewhere that the worlds are connected by crystals and travel is possible. Is this true and where might I look for the answer?
