Visible crew/equipment: After Angel dives into Firebird through the open window, Rockford ends up chasing after Kane with sirens following, and when Rockford pulls over at the side of a road, we can see the reflection of the crew and filming equipment positioned beside the car. (00:33:55)

(00:26:55)
Continuity mistake: At the airport, there's a wheel chock wedged against the airplane's nose wheel when Chris climbs into the cockpit, and as Rockford walks away we hear Chris starting the engine, but in the next shot that wheel chock has vanished to allow Chris to steer the airplane forward, toward the taxiway.
