Visible crew/equipment: As Quatermass drives back to the spaceship in a cab, just before it is to be drilled, the film crew can be easily seen in the cab's windows. A woman with a white cap can be seen holding a script. Later when the police use a megaphone on their car to announce the spaceship is a hoax, you can again see the same woman with a white cap in one of the windows of the police car.
Quatermass and the Pit (1967)
Directed by: Roy Ward Baker
Starring: Andrew Keir, James Donald, Barbara Shelley, Julian Glover
Suggested correction: How could you tell if the reflection showed the actual film crew and not just a TV and newsreel crew assembled for the scene? They were also using mounted cameras and carrying papers.
Continuity mistake: The martians that were pulled out of the spaceship had compound eyes much like a fly. However, the lifeforce of the martian over London, had cross-eyed pupils.
Visible crew/equipment: As the drillman was removing his equipment from within the spacecraft, the gravity became nonexistent and all the tools began to float. You can easily see wires on all the tools - especially the flashlight.
Trivia: This movie was also called "Five Million Years To Earth."
Barbara Judd: We are the Martians now.
Professor Bernard Quatermass: These shapes, suggests some sort of... apparatus... instruments.
Col. Breen: Your imagination is running wild.
Professor Bernard Quatermass: Isn't yours?
Col. Breen: What?
Minister of Defense: You realise what you're implying? That we owe our human condition here to the intervention of insects?
