Audio problem: In the scene in the banquet hall, where the bad-guy is eating a carrot, he throws it on the floor. Subsequently, while chewing on the little bits he has left in his mouth, there comes a sound which is not a chewing-small-pieces-of-carrot sound, but a biting-a-piece-off-a-carrot sound. That sound was way too loud to have been produced by some little piece he had left in his mouth. (00:47:45)

A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)
Audio problem: When John pulls the iron rod out of Jack's abs, he throws it on the floor. It is the size of a large bolt, but the sound it makes is the sound of a large iron pipe. [Fixed on Blu-ray]. (00:59:05)

From Russia With Love (1963)
Audio problem: When Tania and Bond are in bed the first time, and Bond says, "Well I hope you are not disappointed," his mouth doesn't match the words.

Titanic (1997)
Audio problem: In the poker scene, when Jack picks up a card from the deck, it makes a very loud and long noise. Much louder and longer than the movement of the card against the deck would justify. (00:23:15)

The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009)
Audio problem: When Ryder clicks the Google link about Garber, the page makes beeping sounds when the news article flows down the screen. That never happens. Pages just appear silently.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Audio problem: When Axel is in the shed in the final shoot-out with Dent and Karla, there is a flopping sound from the ceiling fan. The instant Karla gets shot, the sound disappears.

Bad Boys II (2003)
Audio problem: In the drug dealer's attic, when he shoots a rat, there is a very long echo - as there would be outside - for example in a forest. But inside, the echo would be much, much shorter. (00:43:25)
7th Mar 2009
Never Say Never Again (1983)
Audio problem: In the tango-scene the music doesn't match the moves. And since Bond is an excellent dancer, he wouldn't make such a mistake. (01:17:30)

Licence to Kill (1989)
Audio problem: When Bond captures the seaplane with the money, he knocks out the pilot and throws him out. We can see that his body is limp when he falls from the plane. Nevertheless there is an 'aaaarrrrgghh' sound, as he falls. If he was awake, he would not have been as limp as we see - and in that event it is then clear it is a dummy being thrown from the plane.

Licence to Kill (1989)
Audio problem: When Bond takes the 'belt' off his tux, in order to get the concealed rope, there is a scratching sound, as velcro ripping. But the belt is not closed with velcro. We can see metal clamps when the belt lies on the ground and Bond removes the rope.

Guns of Navarone (1961)
Audio problem: Right before the escape from the fortress, Miller throws his gun from the cliff into the water with the 'splash' sound following rather quickly afterwards. When they climb down the rope and jump in, it takes a lot longer for them to splash into the water.

For Your Eyes Only (1981)
Audio problem: When Colombo pulls out Bond's gun it makes a noise like the top is pulled back. But he takes it out with one hand, and the hammer has not been pulled back. Even if he pulled back the hammer with a finger (which he doesn't) it wouldn't make that sound.

Armageddon (1998)
Audio problem: During the sling shot around the moon we hear a sound in more or less every shot of jet engines being revved up. They couldn't rev the engines up several times - it's not like such engines have gears.

The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
Audio problem: In the teaser we see the hitman load his gun when he gets ready to kill Scaramanga. When Scaramanga walks into the room, the hitman aims for him. The gun makes a loading sound. Upon the hitman's arrival to the room he racks a bullet into the chamber therefore no other action would be required to make the gun ready to fire. A loaded gun does not make a sound when you aim it - and why would he have unloaded the gun while waiting for his victim? When you load the gun, the hammer is back and the gun is ready to fire. No further actions are necessary. And a professional hitman does not wait to turn off the safety on his gun until his victim has arrived.

Romancing the Stone (1984)
Audio problem: When Jack digs for the statue in the puddle, and he hits it, it makes a sound like iron against ceramics, but the bunny statue is wrapped in hay and cloth. The wrapping is so thick that the spade would not be able to touch the statue, so it would make no sound at all when he hit it with the spade.
23rd May 2008
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Audio problem: When the monkey is crawling on Marion's head at Salah's place, the sound does not match Marion's mouth.
12th Jan 2008
Thunderball (1965)
Audio problem: In the final chase, when Largo says "jettison cocoon," his mouth does not match the words.
11th Jul 2007
Live Free or Die Hard (2007)
Audio problem: Why does the whole city make a 'whooom' noise when the power turns off? And each block makes exactly the same sound.
11th Feb 2007
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)
Audio problem: The ship is going at full speed towards the coast - making a roaring engine sound. But when it hits the coast and stops, the sound of the engines stop too. Who turned them off? (01:46:25)
3rd Jan 2007
Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
Audio problem: When Bond is driving away from the 'Moon base' his tires are screeching. But the asphalt is very rough - maybe its even gravel - so it couldn't make such a sound.
