Brian's Song (1971)

Deliberate mistake: While on the sideline during a game, Sayers tells Piccolo that he should ask Dr. Fox to give him something for his hay fever, and Piccolo heads back to the field. The next closeup of Sayers is a flipped shot; note the "40" on his jersey. (00:41:55)

Visible crew/equipment: When Coach joins Piccolo and Sayers in their room, Coach tells them he wants to speak to both of them as it cuts to a medium shot, and the shadow of a boom mic moves around near the top right corner of the screen. (00:38:05)

Visible crew/equipment: When Piccolo and Sayers see JC pinning the paper with Sunday's lineup, Piccolo begins to walk away. In the closeups facing Sayers, we can see the outline of the strip of tape holding the lavalier mic that's taped to his chest, under his shirt. In the shot facing Piccolo as he walks toward the door, we can see the bulge of the mic transmitter at his back. (00:25:15)

Coach George Halas: All I can promise you is a fair shot. Because you're gonna have a lot of company. Jon Arnett. Ralph Kurt. Brian Piccolo. There's gonna be plenty - there's gonna be plenty crowded out there.
Gale Sayers: Well, a fair shot is all I want. I can't ask for more than that.

Brian Piccolo: Did you get a chance to talk to Linda today?
Gale Sayers: No, why?
Brian Piccolo: Well, I thought you might have heard. Joy's expecting again.
Gale Sayers: Hey, THAT'S GREAT!
Brian Piccolo: Yeah, we think so. You know, if it's a boy, we'd kind of like to name it after you!
Gale Sayers: NO KIDDING?
Brian Piccolo: Yeah! It's got a real nice ring to it... SPADE PICCOLO!

J.C. Caroline: Hold it down. Hey! Some of you cats that pulled in today, haven't had a chance to hear what's gonna be expected of you. So, hold it down - and let me talk. Now, you new guys are gonna get a playbook tomorrow. It's like the Bible.
