Home Alone 4 (2002)

Visible crew/equipment: Just after Kevin locks Prescott in the freezer, the shot tightens up on the window and you can see a slightly distorted reflection of the cameraperson in the door below the window. It's quite hard to miss as the shot tightens.

Mr. Bean (1989)

Goodnight, Mr. Bean - S1-E18

Visible crew/equipment: When Mr Bean is waiting for his ticket number to come up, we see a schoolboy and his mother come in with a saucepan stuck on the boy's head. When the shot is framed to show Mr Bean and the boy, if you look closely you can just about make out the (slightly distorted) reflection of a camera tripod on the saucepan. (00:04:40)
