Passenger 57 (1992)
Continuity mistake: Liz Hurley shoots one of the FBI agents seated next to Rane, in the background the other agent can be seen with make-up on waiting to be shot next. Then the angle changes and his blood has vanished.
Revealing mistake: Two mistakes here: Before Darth Vader cuts Luke's hand, he cuts in half three columns. In the close-up, one can see that what held them together was a piece of wrinkled duct tape. In further shots, the tape disappears and only the scorched part of the column is visible.

Visible crew/equipment: Robocop tries to arrest Dick Jones but fails, and an ED-209 is brought in to destroy Robocop. During their fight scene, it fires a missile at Robocop, and you can see the guide wire that the missile flies along (slo-mo helps but it's not necessary). (01:09:00)

Robocop 2 (1990)
Visible crew/equipment: When Robocop visits Cain's hideout and sends his car in as a decoy, after he returns to the car, watch the driving shot closely. A wire has magically strung itself across the entrance and attached itself to the back of the car - it wasn't visible from an earlier shot. As the car drives forward it stretches the horizontal wire, and just as a tiny amount of pressure is exerted, the car explodes. Yeah, it's technically a mistake, but I think it's more worth checking out just to see how those tricky effects are achieved.
