Resident Evil: Afterlife picture

Audio problem: Near the beginning of the film when Alice and her clones break into the Umbrella building, she comes down in an elevator. The numbers above the elevator showing what floor she is on beep every time they change, but some of the beeps are out of sync. A beep is heard for floor 6 before the number 7 has even changed and a beep is also heard a fraction of a second before the number 3 fully appears. (00:07:05)

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time picture

The Karate Kid picture

Audio problem: When Dre is leaving Meiying's violin practice in the auditorium there is a long shot of her playing her violin showing her left side as Dre walks to the exit. The notes she is playing are vibrato - varying the pitch of the notes by rapidly pivoting the finger on the strings - but her hand is perfectly still. Even though you can only see part of her hand it is obviously that her playing style doesn't match the notes being played.

Knight & Day picture

Audio problem: During their conversation on the plane, when Cameron Diaz tells Tom Cruise about the wedding gift for her sister being a car, during shot when she says "kinda like a present from my dad too you know" you can see her mouth doesn't move. It's not because of the angle of the shot either; you can see her mouthing moving from the same angle during other parts of the conversation.

Despicable Me picture

Inception picture

Audio problem: In the dream-café Cobb talks to Ariadne right before telling her that it's all a dream, but from a side angle the mouth doesn't match the sound coming out, which obviously belongs to the front angles.

The A-Team picture

Audio problem: In the helicopter chase scene, when the A-Team is about to be shot down by heat seeking missiles, Murdock shuts the helicopter's engine off. When he restarts engine the sound is that of an radial piston engine starting, not the sounds of a jet turbine like it should be.

Sex and the City 2 picture

Audio problem: When Mr. Big and Carrie are talking in the bathroom, from a shot from behind while he talks his jaw moves up and down, but for several seconds he is quiet but his jaw keeps moving. Surely the audio belongs to the front shots.

The Ghost Writer picture

Audio problem: When the news helicopter descends on the house as the news of the ICC trial breaks on the TV, the helicopter rotor makes no sound or almost no sound until the shot changes to see it, despite it being very loud once it is visible. The sound of its blades also fades very quickly as it leaves, despite any pilot presumably being very careful so close to a building.

The Spy Next Door picture

Audio problem: In the last fight scene in the movie the children's mother slams the female Russian spy with a half-empty (she shakes it first) plastic bottle of bleach. When she finally hits the "spy" the sound effect played is the exact same sound effect that they used when Jackie Chan was slamming the male Russian spy with cast iron skillets.

Audio problem: When the Victory Fund Gala begins, when the woman next to the metal detector gives Victoria her necklace back, Victoria replies "Thank you, ma'am", somehow without pursing her lips on the "ma'am", revealing it's a dubbed line. (01:21:45)

Saw 3D picture

Audio problem: When Dina says to Ryan that she didn't love Brad, just him, there is one point where she says, "No, I never did." When she does, her mouth does match up for the word "No" but not for the rest. (00:06:05)

The Back-up Plan picture

Audio problem: When Zoe reunited with Stan at the Farmers market (after the wedding scene) they talk, and as the camera pans to the side of Stan's face, he says "Zoe, after all this time." You can tell this is a voice dub due to the fact of his lips saying something else, and the sound levels/background noise dramatically differ.
