Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Smaller Than Life - S4-E3

Audio problem: Waldo admitted the breaking and entering. Getting in the car with Rick he says "Would you just listen to me for one second?" but his lips do not move. (00:07:40)

The Last Page - S2-E19

Audio problem: The chopper is so noisy that people in it can barely talk to each other over the noise (as made clear abundant times in the series, including the previous episode when they "muted" Higgins switching off his intercom), but Thomas and TC are having a conversation while the helicopter is hovering meters above and Magnum is still with his feet in the parking lot. TC's lines are also neatly dubbed in. (00:39:00)

Ghost Writer - S2-E11

Audio problem: Magnum is begging Rick for a favor, and finally agrees to his conditions. He says "Will you do me the favour?" and an off-screen crunching noise is heard. But Rick is eating a sandwich, he still has it in hand. Only a second later he puts that down and grabs a crisp, which would make that kind of sound. (00:28:30)

Saint Seiya (1986)

Shito! Kyofu no kokushiken - S1-E11

Audio problem: Hyoga butts in with "What did you say you just saw, Ikki?", but Ikki was THINKING that phrase about seeing the battle, not saying it out loud - unless he was practicing ventriloquism without an audience. (00:21:50)

Mad Buck Gibson - S2-E8

Audio problem: Mrs Joan Gibson, shoes in hand, is waiting for Magnum after his surfski session. He tells her "I'll be honest with ya" and there's a cut. The audio quality in this second part of the conversation takes a dive for the first seconds before finally adjusting. (00:12:25)

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7

Audio problem: Magnum is talking with Nick, the traumatized Vietnam vet. When he says "Maybe I've seen the kill. Maybe...I've just", his lips don't move for the last words. (00:29:05)

Billy Joe Bob - S2-E1

Audio problem: Billy Joe manages to get through the not quite solid defenses of Ito. He shoos the geisha inside Ito's chambers and tels her "Go for a little while", with the actor's lips not moving at all except for "go." (00:43:35)

Billy Joe Bob - S2-E1

Audio problem: Billy Joe Bob's "He got in my way" response to Rick who tells him to leave the club after busting Harland's jaw is noticeably inserted in post, rather poorly dubbed in with a change of levels and discontinuity in background sound. (00:04:50)

Plot of Fear (1976)

Audio problem: In the car scene with the police transporting the prisoner from the cemetery to the station - before he makes an adventurous escape - the protagonist is barely visible through the very pronounced reflection on the windshield; however, when you can see his face, his lines appear to be completely dubbed over and don't match the lip movements at all. (00:49:10)

Sammo

Audio problem: Two quotes from Beth are mixed up. When you grab a mission item with her, she says "This one can be ours! Let's keep our heads.", but her voice says just a different line; "I located one." By contrast, when the mission is completed, she says "This one's ours!" but adds in voice only "Let's keep our heads."

Thicker Than Blood - S1-E12

Audio problem: When Magnum is pushed against the metal shelves by TC, a big clunking sound is dubbed in, but you can see that the shelves and their content are not wobbled in the slightest and Tom Selleck jumped himself against them using his hands to impact in perfect safety. (00:36:40)
