Your Six - S8-E20

Audio problem: While at the range, Jamie takes Frank's revolver to the line and fires it. The last 2 shots you can hear the casings hitting the ground, but not on the first 3 shots. The last 2 shots are from another camera angle. Revolvers don't eject the casings, so we shouldn't hear them landing.

The Lost Mine - S2-E3

Audio problem: There's a bit of a mix-up in the codenames of the cars who chase Reggie Dyer. Unit 7 is the first to give chase and it is identified by its crew with the photographer. Then Unit 8 intercepts at the rendez-vous point. Check the license plate; FVW 49. Japp mentions a "unit 10" that is not shown. Later in Chinatown, Japp calls for the other cars, and "Car 8" responds, but its license plate is now YD 8501 and it's another car model. Unit 10 is again not shown. They dubbed in the wrong voiceover, they should have kept offscreen the second response by Unit 8 and made it Unit 10's.

Persona Non Grata - S6-E1

Audio problem: Diana talks to one of her sons, who's hiding inside playing Street Fighter II. You hear the sound effects playing that belong to the characters either Ryu or Ken: "Tatsumaki" (Hurricane kick), and "Shoryuken" (Rising dragon fist). When the shot cuts behind the son, you see the characters of Blanka (green guy) and E. Honda (the sumo wrestler). Neither of those characters can do either of those attacks, and there wasn't time for him to switch which character he was playing as. (00:23:39)
