Audio problem: After leaving Bloomingdales, Allen and Madison start talking. Allen says to her "Just begin when you were born and finish up right when you blew up the TV's." His mouth doesn't move at all when this is said. (00:41:15)

Splash (1984)
1 audio problem
Directed by: Ron Howard
Starring: Tom Hanks, Eugene Levy, John Candy, Daryl Hannah
Revealing mistake: When the TVs explode, the glass is very fake and "cardboardy".
Walter Kornbluth: I was right! Behold the mermaid.
Trivia: The angry customer who is screaming to Allen about his cherries is director Ron Howard's real-life father, Rance.
Question: When Dr. Cornbluth first sees the mermaid under water and unsuccessfully tries to take her picture, how come he has an oxygen tank AND an air hose coming from the boat topside? I thought it may be a mistake but I am not a scuba diver so I though I would ask.
