Around the World in 80 Days

Audio problem: When we are introduced to Passepartout riding a monocycle a man inside a carriage cries "Move over, son!" but his lips don't match what we hear.

Audio problem: When Passepartout dances flamenco the tambourine player is out of sync with the music playing. After a while he even stops playing it but the music keeps going on.

Audio problem: When they arrive in Spain, Passepartout speaks to a Spaniard, whose heavy foreign accent shows he's not Spanish (it was Italian born and USA citizen Constanzo "Jose" Greco). It is so obvious and lame that his Spanish voice was dubbed with a real Andalusian accent in the Spanish release.

Other mistake: When they are in San Francisco, notice the pianist. The keys he presses don't correspond with the notes he's supposedly playing. It's a little bit obvious that the music was recorded in advance.

Trivia: There was no balloon in Jules Verne's book. Thank to this film, most people now can't imagine "Around the World in 80 Days" without the balloon. (Gas balloon, not a hot air balloon as most people think).
