Visible crew/equipment: Near the end when the Coast Guard is chasing the boat, there is a shot looking at Wilford Brimley. The perfect shadow of the camera can be seen since the light is directly behind the operator.
Cocoon (1985)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Ron Howard
Starring: Brian Dennehy, Steve Guttenberg, Hume Cronyn, Wilford Brimley, Don Ameche
Continuity mistake: When the Antereans go into the sea for about the second time I think, Jack stays on the boat and starts playing about with the machine and makes it go off. When it does he drops a load of sweets or nuts out of the bag he was holding, but when the camera cuts away then cuts back there are no nuts or sweets on the floor.
Trivia: Some of the cloud effects were created by dumping colored dyes in tanks of water which were then superimposed into the shot.
