Visible crew/equipment: In the beginning of the movie (about 10 mins. in) Steve McQueen and Aneta Corsaut are driving along and think they hit an old man on the road. They stop the car and get out.

They help the man into their car and there is another side shot of the car and the lights are now 3 sets of 2 lights. They're in the middle of nowhere, at night, along a country road.

Day of the Dead (1985)
Revealing mistake: In the very beginning of the movie, Laurie Cardille is sitting looking at a wall with nothing but a calender on it. She rises and walks up to the wall to get a closer look at the calender. Suddenly hands come out of the wall. If you look closely, you can see the round marks on the "cement" block wall where the hands will come out. Viewed best when freeze framed (which is permitted for a revealing shot such as this one), just before hands emerge.
