Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation picture

Audio problem: At the end, as Dax rescues Sahara and loads her into the evac shuttle, he steps away from the craft. Bugs are swarming the scene, but it is apparent that Dax is staying behind. Sahara cries out, "You stay here, you die!" and we hear Dax reply, "Murderers don't go home," which is an overdub. His mouth visibly says something very different with several more syllables.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor picture

Audio problem: When Jonathan leaves at the very end of the film, watch the valet's face. When he says the lines "Let me get your bags, sir" and "Where you off to, Mr. Carnahan?", it's very clear he's not actually saying the lines. In fact, his chin/mouth are barely moving at all. Jonathan's dialogue "Don't touch it, don't touch it!" also seems to not match. It seems like every single line in the scene before "Step on it, I've got a plane to catch!" was either (poorly) dubbed or added during post-production.

Audio problem: Although the protagonists are all American, the actors are all English. This is why several characters mysteriously switch accents part of the way through the film - Marty speaks with a solid English accent after his first few lines.
