The World is Not Enough picture

Audio problem: When Bond arrives at the King Industries place, where he meets Elektra King, watch the man he talks to when he gets out of his car. It is painfully obvious that the man's mouth is not in sync with what he is saying. Even worse, the voice is not even his. It is slightly higher pitched than the man's real voice when he finally talks right.
