Audio problem: The baby cries when Fraw Bow holds him. The crying sound eventually stops, but his mouth is still wide open. (00:09:35)

Football Manager 2020
Audio problem: Many of the sounds during the match are not in sync and glitch. The most egregious bug here has to be when the sound of the ball being kicked starts repeating very fast, and not when a footballer is running with the ball (kicking it forward at every step, makes sense), but when the ball is in mid-air! Another obvious glitch is the crowd noise; the cheers and jeers are often much louder during a replay than during the match, with the same camera angle.

Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Audio problem: The officer is trying to force Bright to send out of the Gundam to break through the enemy forces. Kikka is singing, which makes him lose his temper. You can see though that when she supposedly sings her mouth is instead closed. (00:05:30)

Martian Successor Nadesico (1996)
'Unmei no sentaku' mitaina - S1-E6
Audio problem: In front of the vending machine, Hikaru does a little prank with her eyes 'bugging out'. The English dub is fine, but the original Japanese audio has her pronounce an additional line during close-up when her lips are not moving and the mouth is shut. (00:05:40)

Ranma ½ (1989)
Ore wa otokoda! Ranma chuugoku ni kaeru? - S1-E18
Audio problem: This episode is basically a clip show; the English dub reused lines of female Ranma without redubbing the first ones, from the first episodes with Brigitta Dau. Therefore female Ranma has noticeably two different voices in the same episode.

Martian Successor Nadesico (1996)
Midori no chikyû wa makasetoke - S1-E2
Audio problem: In the hangar scene at the beginning, Goat is talking to Akito. Seiya Uribatake in the background is arguing with his fellow mechanical worker about the reparations to the Aestivalis. The conversation happens in the back of the hangar and it is meant to be strong background noise, annoying enough to prompt Goat's reaction, but in the English dub it is so strong that quite literally most of the main dialogue is nearly inaudible because of it. The dubber also adds a surprised/scared "waah" at the end when Goat cuts him off, but that is incredibly delayed compared to the reaction of the character on screen. (00:02:35)

Out There
Audio problem: In the intro of the game, the subtitles/captions of the very few lines are greatly out of synch with the narration.
5th Nov 2019
The Knock Out Cop (1973)
Audio problem: Rizzo gets interrupted in his 'conversation' with Tom; he shoves away the guy with the horseshoe moustache, sending him offscreen. A noise of broken glasses and cracked wood is added, but in the following part of the scene the club is undisturbed, with a couple nearby and every table intact. It's only a minute later when the big guy comes back with a vengeance, that stuff starts breaking and people acknowledge violence happening nearby. (00:36:40)
27th Oct 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Ranma o gekiai! Shintaisou no sukeban toujou - S1-E11
Audio problem: In the English dub, when Ryoga grabs Ranma by the shirt asking him "Who are you calling P-chan?" and the following answer by Ranma, are not whispered (as they should be, like they are in Japanese, since they wouldn't talk openly about it in front of Akane). (00:09:50)
27th Oct 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Onna no koi wa snesouyo! Kakutou shintaisou de iza shoubu - S1-E12
Audio problem: In the English dub, after thwarting the plot of the tacks-loaded handshake, the sentence Akane pronounces before getting to the locker room goes too long, so she is talking with the mouth shut (the Japanese original has the phrase entirely offscreen). (00:16:20)
16th Oct 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Onna no koi wa snesouyo! Kakutou shintaisou de iza shoubu - S1-E12
Audio problem: When Ranma and Akane close the door behind them avoiding the gas trap, the English dub adds a lot of coughing, even when they have their mouth closed. (00:16:40)
14th Oct 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Ranma o gekiai! Shintaisou no sukeban toujou - S1-E11
Audio problem: Kodachi is barefoot, but after the part when she jumps over the taxis, her running steps on the asphalt produce a definite sound. (00:20:25)
14th Oct 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Ranma o gekiai! Shintaisou no sukeban toujou - S1-E11
Audio problem: Kodachi grabs weapons from her locker and jumps in the night to go deal with Akane. She laughs maniacally but her mouth is shut. (00:07:55)
14th Oct 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Kotsuban uranai! Ranma wa nihonichi no oyomesan - S1-E14
Audio problem: In the English dub, Ranma manages to say perfectly "Coward! You take that back!" to P-Chan while he has his teeth gritted. (00:13:45)

Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Audio problem: There's a bit of a mix-up in the codenames of the cars who chase Reggie Dyer. Unit 7 is the first to give chase and it is identified by its crew with the photographer. Then Unit 8 intercepts at the rendez-vous point. Check the license plate; FVW 49. Japp mentions a "unit 10" that is not shown. Later in Chinatown, Japp calls for the other cars, and "Car 8" responds, but its license plate is now YD 8501 and it's another car model. Unit 10 is again not shown. They dubbed in the wrong voiceover, they should have kept offscreen the second response by Unit 8 and made it Unit 10's.

Escape Plan (2013)
Audio problem: The helicopter appears in front of the window (like, a few feet away) of the command deck of a ship in the middle of the ocean, with the ship being in full alert and with guards all around the premises but who all somehow missed its deafening arrival. (01:35:50)
9th Oct 2019
Kiss the Girls (1997)
Audio problem: Hotel room scene; after assessing the state of a shirtless Cross' ribs, Kate says "At least now the FBI know who they are looking for." Most of the sentence is pronounced off-screen, but it begins with Ashley Judd with her mouth shut. (01:14:35)
9th Oct 2019
Shaft in Africa (1973)
Audio problem: The slave recruiter in the village shoots Shaft and kills his bodyguard. The Luger gun he is using has a suppressor, but the noise it makes is the noise of a normal, not 'silenced' gun. (00:56:55)
29th Sep 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Audio problem: In the very first turn of Monopoly shown, the player scores 11, but moves just 7 ticks. In the second, a 9 produces 8 ticks. (00:01:40)
Suggested correction: It is entirely plausible that a player does not tap the piece to the board with every move. Sometimes, you tap it hard enough to make a sound; sometimes, you just hover the piece over the square.
24th Sep 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Audio problem: Nick gets supposedly grazed by a bullet fired while the plane's noise has already diminished considerably, making quite unlikely that any gunshot could be drowned out by it. (00:06:50)
