Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974)
Visible crew/equipment: After the billboard crash, Larry is shown from his left side as he drives. In his glasses there is a reflection showing the two large lights attached to the vehicle in front of his car that are lighting him. (00:58:35)

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974)
Visible crew/equipment: While shooting pool, Deke lines up a shot into a side pocket where Larry stands. On the table, there is a ball to our right of the pocket, and nothing is between the ball and the pocket. When the shot changes during the ensuing argument, there's a small camera on the table between the ball and the pocket, to show point of view. (01:03:20)

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974)
Visible crew/equipment: When the Charger hits the train, the shot from above and behind ends with the rear window shattering due to a very obvious mortar blast at the left/lower corner of the glass, which fires a white gaseous stream upward. It's seen again in slow motion from the side in the next shot as well (at the right side of the shot). (01:31:00)

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974)
Visible crew/equipment: As the Charger races toward the railroad tracks, the view from above and behind the car shows a cable is pulling the car forward. The cable runs under the tracks (note the discolored pavement that crosses the tracks), then the cable emerges on the other side and turns left around a horizontal pulley. The cable disappears to the left where an off-screen truck is driving further to the left, pulling the car. (01:31:00)
Suggested correction: Actually the cable was attached to the train locomotive itself. That way they were able to measure the cable out that the car would be in the right place to be hit, without dealing with timing issues of getting two independent vehicles to be at the same place at the same time.

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974)
Visible crew/equipment: As the Charger approaches the bar/pool hall, a side shot of Larry driving shows a duplicate of his car reflected in the side of his door mirror. The film's budget was so small, there were no 'camera trucks' and such, so the extra two Chargers they had doubled as camera platforms when needed. (01:00:15)
