Red Dragon picture

Visible crew/equipment: When we first see the "Tooth Fairy" he is lifting weights in a room full of mirrors. If you look close, you can see one or more crew members reflected in some of the mirrors. The most obvious is a man standing, whom I am guessing to be the director or a grip.

There is someone standing there, and it can't be any of the five people mentioned. (02:05:35)

Bad Company picture

Visible crew/equipment: After Chris Rock and Anthony Hopkins hit the 'panic button' and escape from the 'triple cross' in the church, they cross an old wooden bridge. As they cross, the loose boards supposedly knock off their GPS device from the underside of the car. As they approach the bridge you can VERY clearly see the GPS device waiting on the bridge ahead of their crossing, only to be bounced around under their car as they cross & then zoomed in on by the camera.

Visible crew/equipment: Just after Kevin locks Prescott in the freezer, the shot tightens up on the window and you can see a slightly distorted reflection of the cameraperson in the door below the window. It's quite hard to miss as the shot tightens.

Death to Smoochy picture

Visible crew/equipment: In the ice skating scene at the end of the movie, Shelton and others are saying good bye to Smoochy. Buggy fires, and the camera goes to Shelton falling to the ground. If you look at Shelton's head, you can see the special effects tub that shoots air (or something) out, to give the impression a bullet has just gone into Shelton's suit.
