Visible crew/equipment: On the train, Jack hears Mac saying the track isn't finished, then Jack becomes aware of the broken emergency stop button. When Jack walks back over to Annie and tells her they have to jump, we can see the reflection of the standing camera operator on the right door's window, and the reflection of a crouching crew member (possibly boom operator) on the left door's window. Definitely crew given they're meant to be alone on the train. (01:45:55)

Visible crew/equipment: After Bud wakes up all alone in Bligh's cabin, he soon realises all the doors are locked. Then, just as Bud rushes over to the stern window (particularly the second time), a seated crew member is visible at the bottom right corner of the screen; we can see the movement of a leg and two hands (so, it's not a mannequin).
3rd Oct 2023
Continuity mistake: While Bud is napping/fishing in the skiff, Flipper grabs hold of the anchor line and tows the skiff. However, in Flipper's closeup, the anchor is missing from the line. Then it reappears when Bud pulls up the line and sets the anchor down in the skiff.

In the closeup, she flips the light switch, which is already in the up position, and the light turns on, but in the next shot, the light switch is in the down position. Then, when June exits their bedroom, in the wide shot, the light switch is in the down position, but in the closeup, the switch is in the up position so she can flip it down (off). (00:06:35)
