Pain & Gain

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Paul is trying to get Victor drunk, the cameraman can be seen reflected in the left side (viewer's right) of Victor's goggles. (00:52:10)

Phaneron

Visible crew/equipment: When they are going to the hospital to find Kershaw, in the outer scene on the right side a camera crane is visible. (01:00:20)

Visible crew/equipment: When Doyle goes into Kershaw's office you can see the camera crew in the reflection of Pepe's glass door.

Factual error: The movie is set around 1995. But the SWAT team in the movie is wearing gear from the 2000s. (MICH-2000 helmet, modular tactical vest, M4 variant with picatinny rails and scope). Plus, in a scene when the guys are shopping for a taser (gun shop scene), some of the rifles on display are from 2000s era. AR-15 variants with variant stock, foregrip and picatinny rail. Those style of weapon system were unheard of in early 90s. Even Special Forces just adopted it by the late 90s.
