I think it was Apollo 15 which first had a TV camera on the lunar surface
watch the ascent stage of the LM take off.  That would have been a camera
on the lunar rover.  Almost all of the later moon landings had a camera
within the ascent stage watching lunar lift-off from that angle.  I do
know that the Apollo 11 U.S. flag was indeed knocked down, but I think
they had the foresight on later missions to move it farther away.
