Visible crew/equipment: When Shakespeare enters the bedroom with the Romeo and Juliet first act, he discovers Mr. Tilney is having sex. As Tilney gets out of the bed, you can see what looks like a microphone above his trousers.
Shakespeare in Love (1998)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: John Madden
Starring: Gwyneth Paltrow, Judi Dench, Tom Wilkinson, Geoffrey Rush, Joseph Fiennes
Continuity mistake: Halfway into the film, Shakespeare is holding Viola's face placing his hands around her jaw, looking closely at her. When the angle is behind Viola, we see that her hair gets caught around his left hand's fingers. The angle changes to a wider side angle and his hand has no hair around, even though he hasn't moved it at all.
Queen Elizabeth: Have her then, but you're a lordly fool: she's been plucked since I saw her last, and not by you. Takes a woman to know it.

Question: Why is Rupert Everett not credited? His part certainly merits it.
Chosen answer: Actors, on occasions, choose not to be credited - generally if they're appearing in a relatively small role, one smaller than you'd generally expect that person to play.
