Can you hear a fart in outer space?

Define what you mean by in space. If you mean outside the atmospheric level known as the mesosphere then the answer is kinda. You could, and should, attempt to expel the gasses within you while unprotected. You have about 9 seconds of conscious thought to do so. Then you pass out and maybe a minute and a half later you'll die. Being in any self-contained environment would also allow you to burp. So if you go into space in a suit, a ship, a sealed car or plane, or a giant hamster ball then burp away.

What two physics mistakes occur in a science-fiction movie that shows a distant explosion in outer space where you see and hear the explosion at the same time?

OK in outer space , the first thing is sound does not travel in a vacuum also there is no concussion. In films the explosion , and sound happen at the same time, NOT possible, sound travels slower than the light. So if you see an explosion, the sound would arrive later not at the same time, unless u were stood right beside it.
