At the risk of sounding really anal, the one thing which really gets to me is old steam railway films on You Tube, where the sound is dubbed in.
I know enough about steam locomotives to know what sound a two cylinder, three cylinder, and four cylinder should make, and it's very easy to watch the wheel revolutions. Obviously a two cylinder locomotive has four exhaust beats per revolution in synch with the wheels. Much of the time this is way out, and it grinds my gears every time.

You all have to work on your "Suspension of Disbelief" It greatly enhances the enjoyment of movies.
I watched the movie "Eddie the Eagle" over Christmas and believed every moment of it. Only to find on researching it afterwards that only about 5% was accurate according to Mike
Try watching Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in a literal sense for practice.

Well the last time my second SIL was down we watched a Netflix film (on his ipad) and it was all about an invasion of the White House by a load of mad men, they were ahead of their time and totally authentic, I watched it happen "live" last night  I have to say the Silver Back in our local zoo has more gravitas than the one that spoke last night.

Film production used to employ a "Continuity specialist" to pick up glaring errors like these, but in the cost conscious world we live in I suspect this is no longer the case.
Most people neither notice or care, but it really irritates me. A few years back I was sailing the Wherry "Albion" and we had a film crew on board making a program about how the Wherries carried goods etc to all the little villages around the Broads. Part of the cargo was big bundles of reeds which got everywhere. Now, being a bit of a safety freak whilst on boats, during a tea break, I swept the side decks clear of debris so as to limit the chance of anyone sliping falling in the drink. Those of you who are aware of continuity ( which I wasn't ) will feel for the poor chap whose job it was to put all the individual reeds back on the deck just where they were prior to the tea break.
Here for a good time not a long time!!

Speaking as someone who spent over forty years working in television and feature film drama in every production I was involved in the sound recordist would record separately things such as cars driving off, door slams and toilet flushes. These are known as "wild tracks" and are recorded clean without any extraneous noise which requires total silence on the location or set, they would also record the ambient noise on the location such as water flowing or wind and be then used by the editor tracklayer and dubbing mixer. If by any chance something has been overlooked it can be recreated in a foley session or found in a sound effects library which will not only offer you say a car ticking over but give you the choice of which car. I was a dubbing mixer for almost 30 years - mostly telly documentaries, including a fair bit of natural history. On the occasions I did some historical stuff with vehicles and aircraft, I would try to get the sounds as close as possible, but sometimes there just wasn't the time, or budget! And luckily, most people don't notice the many household items we made use of to create the sounds of animal movement and footsteps.....
