Audio problem: At the start, when at Ground Zero, a robot wakes up, and Joshua shuts it down. The woman he's with says, "What the hell," but her mouth says, "What the fuck," dubbed presumably for a lower rating.

Jojo Rabbit (2019)
Audio problem: Towards the end Fraulein Rahm sends a child towards the Americans after pulling the pin on a grenade attached to him. He runs offscreen but no explosion is ever heard.

Suggested correction: So the grenade was (thankfully) a dud. Considering they were wearing paper uniforms, it isn't unreasonable to assume they didn't have the highest quality equipment.

Desperado (1995)
Audio problem: When the bad guys in the car are shooting at Danny Trejo, the kid with the broken leg kills him with six shots we see and hear, but the slide on his gun locks back after 5.

Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever - S3-E12
Audio problem: At the start, the car stops at the gas station (weirdly far from the pumps, for a start). Grooms talks to Monk then walks to the back holding the nozzle, stretching the hose taut, despite no filler cap on that side of the car. We cut to Monk, and we hear a clunk of Grooms attaching the nozzle (to what?). Later Grooms is still holding the nozzle, and as Monk goes inside Grooms is just wandering around aimlessly holding it.

Veep (2012)
Audio problem: As the governor walks into the office, he says "you think you're hot shit?" and in a shot from slightly behind him we can see a clear profile of him, and his mouth isn't moving.

Gotham (2014)
A Dark Knight: A Beautiful Darkness - S4-E13
Audio problem: Near the start, as Gordon tells the crook "how about you exercise your right to remain silent", the shot cuts and we can hear the audio from the different take which hasn't been spliced in properly. As a result the line actually is heard as "right to remain silent-silent."

The Matrix Revolutions (2003)
Audio problem: As the trio break into the club, they take on some bouncers. One of them gets his gun turned on him by Trinity, pushed right into his chest - we hear two gunshots, with corresponding wounds, then a third shot which has no effect. (00:14:50)

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Audio problem: After Bond sets the timer on the bomb at the end, the ticks don't add up. There's a definite tick each second, and you can count 12 of them after he starts it, then we cut back to the bomb and only 7 seconds have passed. (As a vague trivia aside, coincidence though it is, on the UK DVD he pulls the pin out at the DVD second timer ticks onto "07").

Friends (1994)
Audio problem: Any scenes outside Central Perk always sound as if they're on a set (which let's be honest, they are) - the sound is often muted and footsteps on the pavement have a very slight echo to them.

Eight Legged Freaks (2002)
Audio problem: When the mayor's leaving the mall as people flood in, the first van to arrive is beeping its horn. The horn sounds as if it's passing him (via the doppler effect), but it's coming towards him - no way should it sound like that. (01:03:05)

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Audio problem: On the freeway when the Twin stops firing when the car goes behind a truck (shortly before he floats into the car), you can hear about 5 shots being fired by him after the muzzle flashes stop and the gun stops shaking. (01:22:15)
