Question: Its an American film, set in America, with American kids in an American way of life...so why the HUGE Union Jack on the inside of Ferris' bedroom door? What's the significance with Britain?

Answer: It's tribute to the Beatles. Ferris sang the Beatles version of "Twist and shout" at the parade.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Ed Rooney first goes to the house to search for Ferris, you see a gold colour pot and a reflection of a crew member in it.
Chosen answer: The British flag was a trendy item in the mid-80s. You had it on t-shirts, on pants, on all kinds of items, and kids would draw it on their sneakers (remember Converse's rubber toes? That was perfect to draw a British flag!) or on whatever they could draw on.
