Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Revealing mistake: Look carefully at the end of the cavern where the Millenium Falcon enters the giant asteroid. It's a dark blue circle, because the light is dim. But there is a little white circle on the right and the two circles are much brighter on the left side. It's because it's an image of a planet with a moon.
Continuity mistake: When the Millenium Falcon escapes from the giant space worm, it comes from the center of the mouth, but viewed from outside, it comes from the side.
Visible crew/equipment: When the snowspeeders exit the rebel base to go to the battle, there are rails under them.
