Hereditary picture

Audio problem: As Annie is trying to leave Joan's house and she starts to give Annie instructions on how to do the ritual, it's obvious the audio for Joan's lines was dubbed in in post as a lot of her speech doesn't quite match up with her lips. Especially when she's saying "Your whole family needs to be in the house". (01:08:00)

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom picture

Audio problem: The sound for the Cessna 208 that our characters take to Isla Nublar is that of a piston engine prop plane, while the plane is actually a turboprop plane. The start-up and cruising sounds are significantly different from what it should be in real life. (00:20:00)

Halloween picture

Audio problem: At the babysitter house, her boyfriend Dave goes out and finds a motorcycle in the garage to the side of the house. He goes in and starts it, revving up the engine loudly. Several shots while he's doing this show the babysitter and the boy sitting in the boy's room reading and they are unable to hear the motorcycle that's blasting its engines loudly. However, moments later when Michael stabs her in that room and she screams, he is able to hear her scream through the house, through the closed front doors, through the yard and into the garage where he was trying to pick the motor cycle back up. How was he able to hear her scream through all that but they couldn't hear the bike which was considerably louder?

Ready Player One picture Video

Audio problem: Parzival starts to walk away from the Office Party recording as Halliday says "Why can't we go backwards for once." Parzival stops and turns around, telling the Curator to stop and go back right as Halliday finishes saying "Really put the pedal to the metal you know?" The Curator then replays that same recording over again. However the timing is off - it is actually two different recordings of the actor saying these lines and not the same message replayed. He says it a full second faster the in the replay. (00:24:55 - 00:25:25)

Mirage picture

Audio problem: When Nico goes to Angel's house, he is confronted by a dog barking at him. The dog is shown aggressively moving its head up and down whilst the camera is focused on it. The camera then cuts to focus on Nico, where the aggressive barking is still heard, but the dog is standing completely still. The dog couldn't have been barking that aggressively if it were standing still; the barks were likely dubbed in. (00:05:12)
