Visible crew/equipment: Very close to the beginning of the film, when they first land the helicopter in the abandoned city, there is an alligator on the steps of a bank. A few seconds later when a zombie comes out of the bank and the alligator runs down the steps, you can see a red band covering his mouth (that wasn't there before) to prevent him from biting the actor.

Day of the Dead (1985)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: George A. Romero
Starring: Jarlath Conroy, Joseph Pilato, Lori Cardille, Terry Alexander
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Captain Rhodes is first introduced. Initially, his captain insignia is horizontal (correctly). After a few shots in the same scene, his rank is now vertical.
John: You want to put some kind of explanation down here before you leave? Here's one as good as any you're likely to find. We're bein' punished by the Creator. He visited a curse on us. So that man could look at... what Hell was like. Maybe He didn't want to see us blow ourselves up, put a big hole in the sky. Maybe He just wanted to show us He's still the Boss Man. Maybe He figure, we was gettin' too big for our britches, tryin' to figure His shit out.
Trivia: Joe Pilato who plays Captain Rhodes in this film had a small role in the Director's Cut of its predecessor, Dawn of the Dead: he's the police captain at the dock scene.
