Smokey and the Bandit picture

Audio problem: The section of sound effects used as the Trans-Am and the big-rig pull up to the warehouse to get the beer is exactly the same 'loop' as the effects used when the Trans-Am and the big-rig stop by the pond to give 'Fred' his burgers for lunch. Specifically, the Trans-Am's engine idling down to a stop, then the T/A's door closing, then the big-rig's air brakes squealing a very distinctive sound and finally the big-rig's engine rattling to a stop. Exact same 'loop' both times.

Must Love Dogs picture

Audio problem: In the scene where everyone's singing the theme to the Partridge Family, Bobby gets up and walks over to a two-keyboard organ and starts playing on the top row. What we hear is piano. It's possible that the organ was set to emulate piano, but he never turned it on first. It's also pretty clear that he's not actually playing anyway, as his keystrikes aren't matching up with what we hear.
