Children of Men (2006)

Visible crew/equipment: After the roadside ambush scene, when the police pull the car over, Luke says "I can't outrun them" and the camera follows Theo looking out the back window. In this shot you can see the top of the head of a crew member wearing headphones crouched down in the small boot space behind Theo's chair. Also, after Luke shoots the two policemen, just before Theo gets out the car you can see a piece of the elaborate camera rig sticking out over the top of the car, above Theo's door. (00:29:40)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, we see, from a POV shot, Blade running towards a road when the car carrying the two assassins pulls up in front of him and the two men get out. The shot then changes to an overhead view of the car. Blade should be visible in front of the car but isn't. (00:04:46)
