Visible crew/equipment: When the Lost Boys begin to chase Peter around their hideout there is a shot that starts high up in the trees and moves down as it closes in on Peter running from the kids. As the shot passes a support beam attached to the track that Rufio's sail-ship runs on you can see the camera's shadow cast on the support. (00:52:22)
Visible crew/equipment: When Peter first arrives at Neverland we see Smee taking Captain Hook's hook to the ship. When the camera pans underneath the ship's sails to reveal the giant human skeleton attached to the prow you can see a metal walkway at the top of the screen, behind the sails, and the legs of some crew members stood on it. (00:37:23)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the school play Moira turns to Peter and says "Watch your daughter, she's stealing the show" and you can see two fathers stood behind Peter filming the play.

Continuity mistake: When Pockets is shooting paint at the pirates, he sprays yellow paint on a pirate's face on the right, who crouches and touches his face blinded. Shot changes and not only is the painting gone, but the pirate is calmly sword fighting with a kid. (01:53:38)
Continuity mistake: When Peter recalls himself alone in the rain with a teddy bear by his side, the bear is sitting upright in the first shot, but resting against the baby with its head skewed in the following angle.
Continuity mistake: Peter is lying in the cradle with Tinkerbell flying around, the fluttering of her wings making his hair messy. When he stands up his hair is neatly brushed to the right.

Continuity mistake: During the insult war the black kid next to Peter leans forward and fakes a puke. When the shot changes he's sitting still.

Continuity mistake: In the plane, the way the note book is held changes between shots: by the top or by its side.
Continuity mistake: When a lost boy fires balls at the pirates, they slip and fall on the deck. Angle cuts back to the boy firing and the deck is suddenly spotless and empty, and the same pirates repeat the previous actions.
Continuity mistake: When Pan is about to kill Hook and his daughter grabs his arm and says "Please daddy, let's go home", Pan's arm swaps from bent to straight between shots.
Character mistake: When Hook has Pan under control, the kids start to say "I believe in you" in turns. The second one, a red haired boy, can't help staring at the camera.
Answer: (1) David Crosby and Jimmy Buffett both appear as part of Hook's crew - whether either of them is there as a result of losing a bet is unknown. (2) Traditionally, in stage productions of Peter Pan, the actor who plays Hook will also take on the minor role of Mr Darling, Wendy's father. As, in the story presented in the film, Wendy is now elderly, her father is likely long dead, and thus no opportunity exists to maintain the tradition. However, you can hear Dustin Hoffman as the voice of the pilot on the plane ride to London, giving a nod to the tradition.
