The Mummy (1999)

Visible crew/equipment: In the opening action-scene, as Rick backs away from the wall when the raiders start to leap over, there's a shot behind him where the camera pulls back... and you can see a near-perfect row of white markers (likely for the extras or actors) in the sand. There's at least five of them in a line.

The Mummy (1999)

Visible crew/equipment: In the opening action scene, when the raiders start firing their guns towards the French Foreign Legion, there's a wide-shot of several French troops being killed, and a few of them fall over a balcony to their death. As some of the soldiers on the left side of screen fall of screen and land behind some piles of sand, you can briefly see the edge of an air bag (or some other form of padding) pop up a few times with each one.

The Mummy (1999)

Visible crew/equipment: In the beginning of the film, when Ardeth Bay is first seen and talking about how "We, the Medjai, the descendants of pharaoh's bodyguards, kept watch," look closely. You can see the shadow of the camera move up Ardeth's horse's head as it closes in on him.
