For Whom the Bell Trolls - S1-E9

Visible crew/equipment: During the big fight at the end between Ticklesneezer and Megazord you can see a child crouching down next to Megazord at one point. It's hard to miss, bottom right of the screen, and he's wearing green clothing. This is due to the original sentai footage featuring the oversized child in the megazord battle and the Americanized version not editing them out. (00:16:55)

The Thing (1982)

Visible crew/equipment: When the "Thing" monster bursts out of Norris' chest it rises up to the ceiling and grabs onto an oblong-shaped ventilation shaft. MacCready steps forward with his back to the camera (getting ready to burn it) and in this shot if you look at the adjacent pipe on the ceiling you can see the hand of a crew member. It looks like the crew member is there to steady or grab the monster puppet if it falls. (01:15:45)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: I've re-watched this part several times on HBO Max. There is nothing visible above their heads at the 12:39 minute mark. There is a shadow on the wall that is boom mic shaped; however, it would be pure speculation to what it is since it is very briefly and no equipment is ever shown.

Originally when I posted this mistake I added that I saw it specifically on the Netflix version. This was not included for some reason when it was uploaded. Watch the Netflix version and it's there.
