Visible crew/equipment: When Dead Reckoning (the massive truck) is starting to be surrounded by zombies there is an extra spotlight mounted on top of it. It wasn't there in any of the earlier scenes. The shot where it's visible has Dead Reckoning on the right, eight or nine zombies on the left all walking by, and a few powerlines visible in the background. It looks like they just put it on top to give some extra light on the zombies.
Land of the Dead (2005)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: George A. Romero
Starring: John Leguizamo, Dennis Hopper, Asia Argento, Simon Baker
Other mistake: When the zombies come out of the river and start marching, look closely. The first zombies to come out wear wet clothes, but the ones in the back are dry.
Cholo: Still workin' for the man. Kaufman send you to kill me, huh?
Riley: Yes.
Cholo: Takes a true friend to stab you right in the front, doesn't it.
Trivia: Tom Savini plays the "machete zombie." This is a callback to the original Dawn of the Dead (1978) where he played the living version of that character- a motorcycle riding hillbilly. He also did special makeup effects on Dawn and Day of the Dead (1985).
Question: At the end, when Riley meets the 'freedom fighters', why aren't they bothered by the zombies who are still walking around, or the defences being completely useless, as the zombies tore the defences down or went through the river?

Answer: Riley feels that they have just the right to be there as the living do. Besides, those zombies survived all the missles and are coming to the city while Riley and the gang are leaving. So why waste the ammunition?
