Audio problem: In the Italian dub, Chief Sterns reads Mr. Pennington's number as 555-5219 instead of 555-5214. (00:28:30)

Audio problem: When Hawk says "Damn, I'm out of bullets!", Michael Bisping's lips don't move. (01:17:20)

Sammo

Audio problem: When Mr. Owen does a shot of billiards as he starts to explain the evil plan, there are just two balls left in total (the cue ball and an object ball). The shot happens off-camera, but the sound dubbed in implies that one of the balls clashed with a third one. (01:31:30)

Sammo

Audio problem: Since his piano rendition of the Ten Little Indians was appreciated by just 1/9 of the audience, Raven (Charles Aznavour) decides to perform one of Charles Aznavour's hits. It gets a much better reception from the audience, but it's no surprise, since everyone must be in awe of the fact that playing the song on the piano he managed to get also the accompanying sound of drums. (00:15:00)

Sammo

Audio problem: Blore, just wearing his pants and tanktop, razor in hand, opens the door between his room and Lombard's. Louis Hayward and Roland Young have an exchange ("Whatchya doing here?" "You called me, didn't you?") with barely half of the words mouthed, the audio does not match. (00:58:20)

Sammo

Audio problem: When Vera plays the piano, the Italian dub uses a different version of the song, with a much higher tempo and that does not sync well with the scene - plus, she'd have to be a world class pianist to execute it that way. (00:40:00)

Operation: Silent Night - S4-E10

Audio problem: On the beach, TC is comforting Higgins who is depressed for the unceremonious ending of his sailing adventure. He tells him "It could have worked." There's a cut to Higgins and silence between the two, but you can spot at the edge of the frame that Roger E. Mosley's mouth is moving with no sound. (00:38:20)

The Look - S4-E9

Audio problem: In their struggle on the lookout point, Don Cassidy throws the gun over the railing. A clattering noise is heard as if the gun fell on a solid pavement, but the way the action is shown, it went down in a spot where a few seconds later during the suicide attempt there's nothing but a freefall. (00:46:05)

The Look - S4-E9

Audio problem: The whole episode revolves around a radio DJ, who calls the various songs - however, for licensing issues, contrary to what the DJ advertises, the songs (including at least four Beatles hits, Elton John, and a version of Satisfaction that already appeared in the celebrated Season 3 opener) are not the originals, but stock covers.

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Audio problem: When Charlie Amos says "No time to promote you" questioning TC's proposal to replace Leon, the sentence is dubbed in, having different audio quality from the rest. (00:13:55)

Squeeze Play - S4-E7

Audio problem: During the first phases of practice, Kioki in a close-up exclaims "All right!" in an obvious redub with background noise almost silenced. (00:08:25)

Letter to a Duchess - S4-E6

Audio problem: When Vivian tells Higgins "Will you visit me in England?" as the car takes her to the airport, a stock buzzing sound of an electric window is dubbed in, but look at Jane Merrow's shoulder; she's cranking the handle. Not quite the car for a Duchess. (00:46:10)

Smaller Than Life - S4-E3

Audio problem: Waldo from the ground sort of grabs the arm of the villain who pummels him. There are at least 2 hit sounds that don't match with neither the ground and pound of the Bill Hader-esque villain, nor upkicks from the midget. (00:41:50)
