Continuity mistake: When Lloyd wheels out his camera and begins filming, you can see that it's a Betamax. When the cute little kid holds up the video tape produced by that camera, it's a VHS tape. (You can tell because it fits neatly inside the box. Beta tapes were entirely different dimensions from VHS and a Betamax wouldn't fit in a VHS box.)
The Legend of Billie Jean (1985)
1 continuity mistake
Directed by: Matthew Robbins
Starring: Christian Slater, Helen Slater, Keith Gordon, Richard Bradford

Visible crew/equipment: After Christian Slater pulls up in the red car at the golf resort while Billie and Lloyd are arguing about stealing a car, Billie is eventually chased by cops. After Billie and the cops go through the wooden gate/fence, Billie is seen running down the street. While the camera is panning over to show Billie running from the in-car view, you can see the lens hood of the camera in the outside mirror.
Boy: Did you rob that liquor store in Galveston?
Binx: Yep, that was us.
