Visible crew/equipment: When the limousine explodes (flying several feet into the air) after being hit by the second rocket, in one or two shots (most noticeable right before it explodes, during the rocket POV shot), you can see chains attached to parts of the limo, that were not there in previous shots.

Visible crew/equipment: After Bucho's men bring the dead knife thrower back to their ranch, when Bucho enters the limo, the boom operator and boom are visible, reflected in the limo window. (00:55:25)

Visible crew/equipment: When Banderas and Catalina are on the rooftop, and Bucho shows up and Banderas doesn't shoot. When they start going to the next rooftop, you can see a shadow of a microphone going up the wall.
