Visible crew/equipment: When Ned and Zissou are arguing and walking through the boat, they pass in front of a picture where the reflection shows a completely different camera set up from the documentary crew, with two grips wheeling a dolly.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Wes Anderson
Starring: Owen Wilson, Willem Dafoe, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Michael Gambon, Jeff Goldblum, Anjelica Huston
Continuity mistake: During the shoot out with the pirates on their secret island, Team Zissous' firearms change from Glocks 21's to Beretta 92FSs'. When the members are holding the guns without firing, they are in fact Glocks. Any scene where they are actually shooting, they are holding Berettas.
Steve Zissou: Anne-Marie, do all the interns get Glocks?
Anne-Marie Sakowitz: No, they all share one.
Trivia: Steve's #1 intern is played by Matthew Gray Gubler. Gubler was actually an intern for director Wes Anderson during production, and Anderson liked him so much, he gave him a role in the film.
