The Host picture

Kick-Ass 2 picture

Audio problem: When Mindy uncovers her motorcycle and starts it for the first time in the film, the engine sound suggests that the motorcycle (which appears to be a Ducati 1199 Panigale) has a 4-cylinder engine (identifiable by the distinct smooth car-like sound with higher pitch). The Ducati Panigale has a 2-cylinder engine, which should be sounding a lot rougher. But in the end scene where Mindy drops Dave at his house with her motorbike, it makes a completely different sound, which is how the 2-cylinder bike sounds in reality. (00:14:10 - 01:34:25)

CBGB picture

Audio problem: When the Police play "Roxanne" for Hilly, the actors are just lip-syncing to the studio version; though his laugh has been edited out, the atonal piano chord at the beginning of the song, a now-famous gaffe from when Sting accidentally sat on a keyboard during recording, still remains.

The Haves and the Have Nots: The play picture

Audio problem: In the mansion during the second scene, Louis is among the group and his phone goes off vibrating. It is extremely obvious that the sound of the phone vibrating was actually someone humming in attempt to mimic the sound, and doing a poor job at it.
