->The people who do ADR for movies shown on broadcast TV and basic cable (i.e., the guys who dub over the curse words) are [[GiftedlyBad underappreciated geniuses.]] After all, without them, how would we know that [[Film/{{Scarface 1983}} Miami is like a great big chicken, just waiting to be plucked]]? Who else is going to warn us about the dire consequences [[Film/TheBigLebowski when you find a stranger in the Alps]]? And where else would we have learned about the treacherous [[Film/DieHard2 Mister Falcon]]?

->''It might be worth noting that a terminology change was made in the North American localization of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''. The English script refers to Edea as [[VainSorceress a sorceress]], but what she's called in the original Japanese is evidently a lot closer to "[[WickedWitch witch]]." Interesting choice. "Witch" is a bit of a loaded term; Square's American branch probably worried that players would associate it with pointy hats and broomsticks, inadvertently softening the impact... Edea speaking of the populace's deep-seated hatred and fear towards sorceresses isn't terribly evocative; the scene probably would have struck more of a chord with English-speaking audiences had she referred to people hating and fearing ''witches'' instead. Ah, well.''
