Carry On Cabby picture

Audio problem: When Sarge is giving instructions to Allbright over the taxi radio Allbright replies "I don't know what the union's going to say about all this" to which Sarge replies "**** the union". His mouth doesn't open while the noise sounds to cover up his swear word.

Audio problem: When Jack says "Anyway, the conch doesn't count on this side of the island", he is clearly biting his banana and eating it, however the dialouge is heard perfectly clear, even though he is eating.

Summer Holiday picture

Audio problem: When Cyril is driving up the bus up the mountainside, and Don is talking to him over his shoulder about Barbara, Cyril is heard to say "Don, Bachelor boy". However this is not what the original line was, as it can be seen that he is speaking different words. The line was probably changed between filiming and recording the over dubs.

Jason and the Argonauts picture

Audio problem: At one point, I think it's when they arrive at the dead Hydra, Aeetes' Captain (with the brown "bobble-hat" and the moustache) says a line like "Some of you up there....and that way," and is pointing to direct the soldiers. It is very obvious that he is not saying this line and that it was dubbed on afterwards.

8½ picture

Audio problem: While Marcello Mastroianni is waiting at the station and Sandra Milo's train can be heard arriving off-screen, we hear much whistling by a steam train, but when it finally appears, the train is being hauled by a diesel locomotive. [As a side note/explanation - all sound in Italian movies, including the dialogue, is recorded afterwards, sometimes by different actors, eg. Claudia Cardinale in real life has a regional accent.]

The Great Escape picture

Audio problem: The sounds of the prisoners laughing and bantering about during the 4th of July moonshine scene is obviously a looped soundtrack as the same exact sounds and volume are heard at least four times during this scene.
