This one should be cool to see, actually! I remember seeing GoldenEye in cinemas back in late '95 and being shocked to actually notice the boom mic creeping in during certain shots. The one I remember most of all was when the girl is supposedly inspecting computer equipment she wants to buy, as a means of looking up Boris. From further memory, I think it also occurs during Bond’s early scenes with M, when they see the EMP blast going off on the screens. Curiously, with both the original widescreen laserdisc release and all DVD and HD issues the movie appears to be quite tightly cropped and re-framed, perhaps to hide this issue.

IIRC they discussed this on the 50th anniversary box set’s special feature about the restoration, though I think they were giving examples from several of the films, not just Goldeneye (or maybe not even Goldeneye at all). There is one movie where the entire camera and crew are visible in a reflection during a fight scene. Not sure which movie it was; I think one of the earlier ones. IIRC they digitally removed the error in the Blu-ray (Despecialized Bond, anyone?).
