Duel (1971)

Visible crew/equipment: When Mann's car spins out on the gravel and comes to rest facing the truck, you can briefly glimpse the cameraman (purported to be Steven Spielberg himself) crouching in the back seat. (01:04:25)

Trilogy of Terror (1975)

Visible crew/equipment: Segment 2: When Millicent talks to the lawyer in the study, the microphone dips into shot above their heads. (Trilogy is a TV movie, so the mistake can't be dismissed as a theater projectionist's error.) (00:29:05)

Trilogy of Terror (1975)

Visible crew/equipment: Segment 2: During Therese's conversation with the doctor, part of the boom rigging can be seen overhead, glinting in the studio lights. (Trilogy is a TV movie, so it's not a theater projectionist's error.) (00:34:30)

So Long, Patrick Henry - S1-E1

I Spy (1965)

This Guy Smith - S3-E18

Visible crew/equipment: As Kelly is getting dressed in the hospital room, someone's shadow strolls across the floor in front of him. Scott is standing still, and no one else is there, so the shadow must belong to a film crew member. (00:13:35)

Contraband - S1-E21

Visible crew/equipment: While the crew are holding a conference inside the moonbase, an equipment shadow moves across the top left of the screen. In the same scene, a poor choice of camera angles also places two diagonal white ribs of a hatch door directly behind James Coburn, resulting in the bizarre impression of antennae growing out of his character's head. (00:12:00)
