No Need to Know - S1-E5

Audio problem: The episode opens with a news report, which itself opens with the words; "In Belfast, Northern Ireland, where a bomb blast destroyed an office building last Tuesday, a special task force under the command of Brigadier General Alistair Folkes", etc. The report runs for a minute, then the phone rings and Higgins, off-camera, answers. The audio of the TV fades in and out to leave room to the relevant conversation, but you can still hear that it's going in a loop, repeating the exact sentence it started with and moving on from there word by word. (00:02:00)

Thank Heaven for Little Girls and Big Ones Too - S1-E4

Audio problem: Magnum just took TC to the bad part of town. TC says "Hey, look, don't forget you called me, I didn't call you." with the audio noticeably much lower than the rest of the conversation, and out of synch with Roger E. Mosley's lips. (00:13:00)

China Doll - S1-E3

Audio problem: Sorting the whole 'protecting the vase' business when it's first brought up, Higgins asks "Is the vase Chinese?" The audio in the scene becomes really spotty, culminating with Magnum saying "Mai Ling" in audio, with Tom Selleck mouthing something else entirely. (00:17:40)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii: Part 2 - S1-E2

Audio problem: Rick sprays the hitman with bullets, and hits the car behind him. The car is not Robin's Ferrari, but regardless of that, the car alarm of the Ferrari stops the moment that black car is hit. (01:25:25)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1

Audio problem: Ensign Healy parts from Magnum saying "See you, Magnum", but his lips barely move, not long enough for all the words. (00:31:05)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Audio problem: Warner Jameson is making perfectly clear to Jim how much in control he is. When he says that he plays a mean game, part of the audio is dubbed in and does not mix with the rest. (00:21:40)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Audio problem: When Rockford is having his no dill lunch with Sandra Turkel, the audio, in particular at the beginning of the scene, changes ambience noticeably when the camera angle changes - not quite justified, they are sitting at the same cafe table. (00:05:20)

Sammo ★

Exit Prentiss Carr - S1-E5

Audio problem: Driving his dad's pickup, Rockford gets flanked by one of the worst dressed killers in history. The guy shoots him about 3 times, but the audio is at really low level for a revolver shot from a couple of meters of distance and there's no flash or smoke indicating that any shot in fact is fired. Combined with the fact that it's preposterous that the guy could miss from such a short range and no arm/body movement is present, it's an adequate guess to imagine that the sounds have been added in post to add some sense of danger and were not planned when shooting the actual scene. (00:41:20)

The Countess - S1-E4

Audio problem: The Countess' husband looks annoyed at the teenager frolicking in the pool. The sound does not match Sally's mouth. (00:10:30)

Sammo ★

The Kirkoff Case - S1-E2

Audio problem: Jim has been beaten up in front of the Sierra and dragged back into his own car. When they drag him out inside of some warehouse, he says "Take it easy! I'm not struggling, am I?", but James Garner's lips are not moving and the line is obviously dubbed in. (00:24:30)

Two Birds of a Feather - S3-E19

Audio problem: When Mr. Sato on the phone asks "What is going to happen to my old bird", those last two words appear to be dubbed in and not match the lips. (00:14:25)

Sammo ★

Birdman of Budapest - S3-E15

Audio problem: When Higgins lists the various things he expects to run into when he enters' Magnum mancave, there's a noticeable difference in the ambience of the audio when it cuts to Magnum as he mentions the "soiled garments."

Erupting in Murder - S6-E1

Audio problem: Catherine has been a character on the show from season 1, almost the first episode. Never has she pronounced the name of the island, Saint Marie, like she does in this episode: "Welcome to St. Mary." (00:20:20)

Sammo ★

Audio problem: The lengthy tutorial for the game is carried through by the character Kiki, Mr. Mu's aide. The text balloons are mostly fine, but each line is also dubbed, in a language that tries really hard to be English, but is obviously read by a non-native speaker and butchered to the point of being barely if at all intelligible.

Episode #4.2 - S4-E2

Audio problem: Florence talks about the financial problems of the surfing school. Doing so, she says that they have two mortgages and they "are behind in both." This last part is pronounced with the camera behind Joséphine Jobert, but the timing between audio and jaw movement is off. There's also a little jump in continuity with her left hand away from the sheet/on it. (00:35:10)

Sammo ★

Audio problem: During the first meeting with the elf prospector, in the dub the line "It's the one my dad gave me. And sure, we can go by Vriska the Cold-Footed" the voice actress calls her own character "Viskra" instead.

Episode #3.1 - S3-E1

Audio problem: Camille invites Humphrey to have a drink with the crew. When he begins to say that "It'd be a bit awkward", Kris Marshall's lips don't match the audio in the brief cut when the camera is slightly behind him. (00:50:25)

Sammo ★

Episode #2.8 - S2-E8

Audio problem: Vicky had just introduced herself to Camille when a gunshot is heard. Everyone reacts as you'd expect with such a loud and sudden noise exploded in the middle of a party, everyone except in a brief cut to Duncan Wood. Nobody in that shot is perturbed by the bang in the slightest. (00:02:50)

Sammo ★

Episode #1.7 - S1-E7

Audio problem: In a typical movie clichè, the snake at the neck of the ophiophilist member of the band produces the characteristic insidious sound of a rattlesnake despite being a python.

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Audio problem: The lawyer and Magnum join the others in the room for the reading (rather, play) of the will. One of the prospect heirs says "It's about time then", but their lips are not moving and the muffled and unnatural ambience makes it even further clear that it is dubbed in. (00:08:55)
