Hellraiser picture

Audio problem: When Trevor is explaining to Riley how he wants to rob the storage unit, at one point there's an over-the-shoulder shot where he says "Totally anonymous... nobody's ever seen any one in there... but, like the shit..." If you look closely, you can tell Trevor is saying something completely different. True, his mouth isn't on-screen the whole time, but his jaw movements and his mouth movements don't match the words at all when they are visible, revealing they altered the dialogue in post.

Audio problem: When Baldacci shoots the van that is coming at him full force, the sound bits inserted are of bullets hitting metal. Since he is aiming at the windshield, either his gun does not shoot straight or someone has been very lazy with the sound editing; even if he hit bulletproof glass, the sound it would make would not be like that at all. And a few seconds later his colleague shoots at the van from the side and there is no bullet impact sound at all; to Miss a static target of THAT size from a few feet of distance she'd have to blind as well. (00:43:05)

Audio problem: Katherine visits Poirot at the field hospital; the opening line has a loud gulping, most likely dubbed, and then Branagh's voice says "I asked you...not to come" with the second part of the sentence added in dub; his lips don't move. (00:05:45)
