Crew or equipment visible

When Flynn runs through the computer halls shortly before he gets scanned in the computer, you see a crew member sitting behind a Cray 1 supercomputer and several others reflected in the glass on the same Cray 1.

Plot holes

In one scene on the lightcycle grid, we hear one of Sark's forces (the ones piloting the blue cycles) say "I'm taking him into the maze!", but when we see the cycles turn and head into the maze, Flynn's cycle (in yellow) clearly has the advantage.

Spoilers

The goof below may give away important plot points.

Revealing mistakes

Ram has just died and the next scene shows Tron running down a corridor. As this is occurring, there's a black speck to the right that's crawling around in a circle indicative of a bug on the transfer screen.
