Visible crew/equipment: During the jungle chase, Marion jumps out of the truck, leaving Dovchenko driverless. A few shots later, Spalko fires on the two amphibious vehicles, and when Mac removes his cap to check his head, the actor's modern wired device (earbud or mic perhaps) drops out from under his scarf/shirt and hangs over his shirt. Later, in the chamber with the crystal skeletons, Mac admits to lying about the CIA, then as Spalko climbs the chamber stairs, it looks like her lav mic is a bit visible between two upper buttons.
