All the windows of the Black Moon appear solid black throughout the movie, until inside the freight elevator, where they become clear glass.
Similar to one way mirrors, when the exterior light is brighter than the interior, it is black. Also, filming through a black windshield is a problem.

The video technicians show up for work, but in a previous shot they are already on site working on the problem.
Earl slices into the insulation on the video cable, spreading the jacket open to reveal the cabling inside. In the next shot, he is still slicing into the insulation jacket.
Just when Nina is about to drive off in the Black Moon after the theft of the cars at the Betsy, she presses various starting buttons on the dash, however it is clear that it is not Nina's hand doing the pressing as her finger nails have suddenly become much shorter than the long nails she displays in almost all of the movie.
It's unlikely that a stunt actor was brought in for that one shot. Far more likely that this was shot later, after she had trimmed her nails.

At the beginning, Quint flees with his car while people is firing guns at him. Bullets break rear windshield and left rear lights. Soon after, Quint is waiting in his car, and a rear shot shows rear windshield still broken, but the left rear lights is now intact.
At about the 43 minute mark, as Quint surveys the towers with binoculars, two yellow pencils are visible stuck upright into the planters and flowerpots of the middle plaza, revealing the scene to be a fabricated mini model.
During the opening sequence, Quint runs towards a glass door to escape, the door has a push bar visible. In the next shot from the front, the push bar is still visible, but in the shot, he jumped through the glass door and the push bar is missing.
When Nina is driving the "Black Moon", chased by Quint, the car has a normal round steering wheel. In all other scenes the steering wheel of the "Black Moon" has two handles.
When the owner of "Black Moon" is describing the car at The Betsy, he says the body is made from "Kelvar". The super-strong plastic is "Kevlar", not Kelvar.
During scenes filmed from the backseat of Quint's Dodge Daytona, you can see an indicator light on the dash revealing that the hatch is open. Perhaps this is to make room for the rig, camera or crew.
During the opening sequence, Quint runs towards a glass door to escape, but stops well short of the door. In the next shot, from the side, he burst through the glass in a jumping fashion, as if in one continuous motion.
The 6-shot revolver that Quints pulls from under his car is fired 7 times without reloading.
At around the 63:03 mark, in the long shot just before Quint is pulled out from under a car, someone can be seen walking at the top right corner of the set.
