Visible crew/equipment: When the truck is getting shot on the bridge, you see Rubber Duck get down on the floor of his cab and this is shown in many following shots. Just before the truck falls off the bridge, there is a short shot from inside the cab looking out. Somebody is sitting in the driver's seat, steering.
Convoy (1978)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Sam Peckinpah
Starring: Ali MacGraw, Burt Young, Ernest Borgnine, Kris Kristofferson
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film when Spider Mike is rescued from a town. The Rubber Duck's truck is damaged. It loses the bullbars on the front, and the windbreaker on the roof is flattened against the roof of the cab. Yet after leaving the town, in a series of shots showing the Rubber Duck's truck. The damage disappears or varies. The windbreaker appears fixed and so do the bars, but in the next shot just the windbreaker is fixed and the bars aren't. It continues like this through a montage and then in the next scene when it cuts back to a close up of the truck both are damaged again. (01:47:40)
