Saw X picture

Audio problem: When the CT technician asks John if he'd like some help getting down, John says "Thank you very much", but you can tell that he's not saying anything and that the line is just dubbed in. (True, the camera is facing away from him, but his jaw and face aren't moving at all.)

A Haunting in Venice picture

Audio problem: At the beginning of the movie, a local errand guy delivers a box to Poirot from a gondola. The actor is supposed to be speaking Italian in his first phrase, but he says "Segnor Poirot, lo pesce!" (Mr. Poirot, your fish!), totally off in accent and grammar, obviously from an English-speaking actor poorly faking an Italian accent. Moreover, the box does not contain fish, but turns out a few minutes later to be a box of chocolates. In fact, the Italian version redubs this line entirely and the guy says the equivalent of "Mr. Poirot, your sweets" in a Venetian accent ("Sior Poirot, I suoi dolcetti!").
