Moonraker

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where the space station explodes, the wire holding up the model is visible when the explosion backlights it.

Visible crew/equipment: In Venice, when the two scientists are dying, there's a shot in front of Bond, with one of them standing at the window. There's a reflection of the two scientists and something else moving behind—a crew member or some kind of equipment.

Dr Wilson

Visible crew/equipment: During the speed boat chase you can see the charges floating in the water - they are black squares/rectangular.

Visible crew/equipment: When Bond changes from gondola to hover mode, look at the wooden posts in front of him. You can see the water jets supplying the bubbly water to simulate hover mode.

Factual error: The space station rotates for pseudo-gravity, but everyone falls along the rotational axis towards the bottom of the screen instead of falling outward from the axis as they actually would. Admittedly, this would be difficult to film (Stanley Kubrick's astronaut jogging in a giant hamster-wheel in Space Odyssey - nuff respect), so I guess they just hoped the audience wouldn't know the difference.
