In the movie Bullet, the audio has Steve McQueen double clutching the Mustang on every shift but the video shows him doing regular shifts.

Also has the same audio of a muscle car exhaust sound for a bunch of different cars in different scenes.

Theres several cars you see dozens of times too.

My wife no longer sees the humor in me pointing out these instances in our movie watching 😂

My movie peeves are about location. Example, the Top Gun Maverick sailing scenes were filmed on San Francisco Bay—look closely and you can see a high-speed ferry in one of the shots—rather than anywhere near San Diego Bay, the closest body of water to Miramar.

Yep.

I love moves filmed around, based on in water locations.

I always look up filming locations just to see.

Hardly ever where they present it as.

Geographical oversights annoy me too.

The awful movie “The Hangover Part 2”, filmed in Thailand, showed the main characters traveling from Bangkok to Phuket in a 38 Baja portrayed as a couple of hours across the Gulf of Thailand. However, Phuket is on the other side of the Malaysian peninsula so they’d have to travel all the way down the coast of Malaysia, around Singapore, and up the other side of the peninsula to Phuket. 1,529 nautical miles @ 50 mph would take about a day and a half non stop.
Grrr 😡

How about the Deer Hunter where the hunting scenes were filmed in the rockies but the story took place in PA. Absurd the second I saw that.

Doesnt bother me at all/.. what bothers me is all the WOKE ****.
Every moview after 2020 is garbage.
White actors are out of work and now we get every movie there`s gotta one or more : interacial couples, and couples that would never happen in real life...always a gay something or another , beta males galore, no good jokes, everything is politically correct, the chicks are no longer hot but fat ... I end up rewatching old movies.
I don`t care what people do in their own lives as long as they`re happy but don`t try and shove it down my throat.

Roadhouse was actually decent .First one in years .

Even Hollywood TV series screw it up. My favorite Miami Vice scene with a 25 Talon with 2.4 Bridgeports. When Sonny starts them up it’s an inboard sound then it changes to the oh so recognizable sound of bridgeports idling and under power.
