The War of the Roses picture

Audio problem: The auctioneer says the object that Oliver is bidding on is Japanese, but the insert angle of the brochure said it was Chinese. It could be a character mistake, but that wouldn't move the plot anywhere and, besides, this is a movie, so the one who designed the brochure most probably didn't know what the script said.

Ghostbusters 2 picture

Audio problem: Dana shows up at Peter's door with poor little Oscar desperately crying after the bathtub misadventures. Is he really crying though? Sigourney Weaver does her best to hold the baby close to her and away from the camera, that shoots the scene cutting off above the mouth level. His body language is composed though, and for one moment (when Dana says "this pink goo everywhere" his mouth pops in frame and it is closed. (00:46:20)
