Visible crew/equipment: When the Szalinski brothers and their wives are shrunk, they run into a cockroach the size of a sofa. They hide behind some structure with a nut on it. A boom mic is visible in the top-right corner for a second or so.
Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Dean Cundey
Starring: Rick Moranis, Bug Hall, Robin Bartlett, Eve Gordon
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Wayne makes his speech at Szalynski Labs, he pretends to stand in a strange shape. When he does so, his speech cards are facing down. In the very next shot, the cards are facing up.
Gordon Szalinski: You are dead meat, mister.
Wayne Szalinski: Gordon, you're three-quarters of an inch tall, now's not the time.
Trivia: The final live-action film to star Rick Moranis before he mostly retired from acting to take care of his kids after his wife's unfortunate passing. Moranis is however tentatively attached to appear in a legacy sequel titled "Shrunk," though the film has been stuck in development hell for some time.
