Visible crew/equipment: The boom mic is visible when the first golfer hits his ball and the camera pans up. It's a long pole that is very out of place on the right side of the screen. You can even see it wobble.
Visible crew/equipment: At the golf course as the boys are describing what they are seeing, the camera shadow is visible on Bobby's left shoulder the entire shot. When we see both boys and Shane in the same scene, the shadow is now mostly on the dog.
Visible crew/equipment: At the beginning when the kids are helping Fisher put his cape on there is a shot looking at them. At the bottom of the frame is the shadow of the camera.
Answer: The script's ending was ultimately changed by director Richard Donner from what writer David Evans had originally written. In the original ending, it was made clear that the Radio Flyer had actually worked and it was seen hanging (actually floating) next to the Wright Brother's plane in the Smithsonian. Donner instead wanted the ending to be a "Rorschach Test", meaning the viewer sees the ending as he or she wants. So if you perceive it as working and Bobby being free or you see it as Bobby committing suicide, etc, it's meant as a reflection on you. However, Evans has said that he never intended the ending to be, or allude to, suicide, but because of the script changes, he understands how people could make that conclusion.
