The Prisoner (1967)
Visible crew/equipment: When Number 2 and Number 6 are talking at the beach there is a shot of Nadia getting into the sea. Just before she takes her sunglasses off you can see rows of spotlights reflected in them. This is because the scene was shot in a studio and not a real beach. (00:15:25)

Scanners (1981)
Continuity mistake: When the female assassin first shoots at Pierce with the shotgun the pellets miss Pierce altogether, but he grabs near his thigh like he was hit there. Cut to a close up of Pierce's leg immediately after and all of a sudden there are three bloody holes in his thigh. (00:40:37)
