Audio problem: Not getting much sympathy from his buddies, Magnum just hands his coffee mug to Higgins and bolts off to go meet Karen. If you look at Roger E. Mosley face when he says "Hey Thomas, Higgins said we don't have t...", the audio is dubbed and does not match his lips' movements. (00:07:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Audio problem: Earl captivates Higgins with the story of his wrestling antics with an old army buddy of his who'd beat him on the ring with his peg leg. Higgins then exclaims something, but John Hillerman's lips move with no sound, only Tom Selleck's voice is heard. (00:17:55)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Audio problem: Magnum slips into the car in 1936 with his client out of the club. If you pay attention to the audio, there is sometimes a droning noise as if someone were using a leaf blower nearby (it's actually because in editing they cut out all sounds below a certain level - but some of it spiked enough to stay into the audible range). (00:11:20)
24th Mar 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Audio problem: Higgins watches Magnum spit what he chewed on and gives him a "Magnum..." full of contempt. Magnum responds ever cheerful "Sorry, want a bite?" but the audio of the sentence is much lower than in the rest of the scene. (00:13:10)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Eighth Part of the Village - S3-E3
Audio problem: When Higgins' mail order bride (well, not really) bows deeply for Magnum and her hat falls off, she says "Thank you, Higgins san", but the actress, overwhelmed by her own abundant mane, is just grinning and her lips don't move. (00:11:15)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Audio problem: Back to the mansion after meeting Simon & Simon in the hotel room, Magnum narrowly misses the villain. Still clueless about it, runs to Higgins and hops over a wall. The ghastly yell he emits during his athletic effort is entirely off-pitch and at a different volume than his speech. They might as well have used a Wilhelm scream here. (00:41:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Audio problem: TC is calling Higgins to figure out where he could find Magnum. Higgins is busy with his construction work, but since the phone keeps ringing he has to answer. The second ring has been edited in a split second of delay to John Hillerman's reaction, though, so Higgins 'jumps' too early. (00:32:30)
21st Mar 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Audio problem: The noise of TC's helicopter powering down is Out of Sync with the speed of heli blades you can see in the reflection of the glass, and the effect on nearby vegetation. (00:09:40)
20th Mar 2020
Detective Kobayashi
Audio problem: In the first duel of the game, against your fellow detective Tsuguo Yoshio, the sentence that precedes the moment when you have to contradict one of his 3 statements ("He might have gone to play with some of his friends" etc) has a striking difference in volume and ambience compared to the rest (probably was recorded in a different session, maybe the first take had a mistake).

The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Audio problem: On the plane, Crawford is talking about the first victim. He's out of frame as he mentions that she was the only victim he took the trouble to weigh down. Except for a brief moment, when you can see his lips, not in sync with his voice. (00:36:35)
19th Mar 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Audio problem: The address on the satnav is 35 Rue Dauphin, but Ardal O'Hanlon says 35 Rue D'Orphan (the close captions say as much too, it's not a personal interpretation). Florence correctly types Dauphin. (00:35:00)
14th Mar 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Audio problem: When Jack and Florence talk to the club treasurer drinking lemonade, several times in shots where Ardal O'Hanlon is out of focus in the foreground you can hear his voice being dubbed in while he was doing simple a stand-in role without opening his mouth. (00:26:20)
27th Feb 2020
Joker (2019)
Audio problem: In a bit of movie magic, nobody touches the TV set in the dressing room, but it adjusts its volume perfectly by itself, to the point that not only does not disturb the conversation with Murray and the producer, but even when Arthur is all on his own and sits back in his chair the TV, still turned on and showing a program, is perfectly silent. (01:35:10)

Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Cucuruz Doan's Island - S1-E15
Audio problem: In the faraway shot that follows the slap Rollan gives Amuro for accusing Doan, Amuro's lips move a second before his voice is actually heard. (00:14:00)
25th Feb 2020
Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Coming Home - S1-E13
Audio problem: The first refugee to greet Amuro has a male voice (original version, but also English dub), but when you look at the figure, it's kinda rounded in the chest and in the next shot when just the legs are in sight, just match the positions of those around Amuro and it's quite clear that 'he' is the one wearing a skirt. (00:10:00)

Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Icelina- Love's Remains - S1-E11
Audio problem: When Char is chased away by Bright, Hayato and Kai shooting at him (even if he's a skilled commando and is running from a couple teenagers), the gunshots of the White Base officers produce 6 detonations in total but many more light blasts. (00:16:00)
25th Feb 2020
Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Icelina- Love's Remains - S1-E11
Audio problem: In the throne room of Zeon, Dozle opens the big portal door with one hand, and it makes a creaking sound as if it were a small wooden door of a broom closet. The door itself is closed in the following shots, with no sound heard for it. (00:04:00)
21st Feb 2020
Ride Along 2 (2016)
Audio problem: At the end of the scene with Tasha, Kevin Hart's voice says "I'm just asking" when he has his back turned to the camera. His mouth does not move when the phrase is heard, only before. (00:48:20)
4th Jan 2020
It Follows (2014)
Audio problem: Jay's friends are playing Old Maid on the porch at night. Her sister asks the guy to pass her the spiked soda. She drinks and then puts the can down. Several seconds pass, but in the next shot Paul retrieves the can reacting to it as if the girl just put it down - in fact there is even a metallic sound, which is impossible consider Kelly's movements and Yara talking between shots. (00:22:00)
3rd Jan 2020
Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Audio problem: When Garma is at the bar with Char, he performs an advanced ventriloquist feat, talking while he is guzzling down his drink. (00:03:20)
