* In the 1998 film version of ''{{Series/The Avengers}}'', a character at one point drops an F Bomb...but it's quite clearly been dubbed in, as it sounds nothing like the character's previously heard voice and the actor's lips do not move. This was done to [[AvoidTheDreadedGRating bump the film up]] from a PG to a PG-13, in hopes to draw fans to the film (which had been postponed from its original release date due to terrible test screenings, and was subsequently NotScreenedForCritics).

* Five of HumongousEntertainment's games had entirely redone dubs specifically for the UK. They probably wouldn't have gotten much recognition had the UK dub of the first SPYFox game not been mistakenly exported to the US.

* In the 1998 film version of ''{{Series/The Avengers}}'', a character at one point drops an F Bomb...but it's quite clearly been dubbed in, as it sounds nothing like the character's previously heard voice and doesn't match the actor's lip movement.

** In ''ThePhantomMenace'', Darth Maul was played Ray Park with his lines ([[TheQuietOne all three of the them]]) dubbed over by Peter Serafinowicz.

* When ''RobbieTheReindeer: Hooves of Fire'' was aired on CBS for the first time in 2002, its British voice cast was dubbed over with an all-star cast.

* In the TimBurton film "EdWood", OrsonWelles was played by Vincent Donofrio, but dubbed over by MauriceLamarche.

* In-story example: In ''SingingInTheRain'', Lina Lamont's nails-on-a-blackboard voice is dubbed over by Kathy. The original plan is for this to be a springboard for Kathy's career, but Lina has other plans.

* In the ''StarWars'' Original Trilogy, the actor in the Darth Vader suit on-screen was David Prowse; the voice was provided by James Earl Jones. In ''[[StarWars Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith]]'', it's Hayden Christensen in the suit, and an uncredited actor providing the voice. It's believed to be Jones again, but he has never confirmed it. On the DVD commentary, it's mentioned that the voice actor will always remain uncredited, but any true Star Wars fan "should know the answer".
** Until later rereleases, Jones was uncredited as Darth Vader in the original trilogy as well.
** Both actors playing Wedge Antilles in ''A New Hope'' - Denis Lawson and, in the briefing scene, Colin Higgins - were dubbed by David Ankrum. Lawson went on to play Wedge in the next two movies and finally got to use his own voice in the third.
* Also in ''A New Hope,'' the actress playing Beru Lars was dubbed over because Lucas thought her voice was too low.

* When ''MadMax'' was released in the US, the entire film was re-dubbed by American actors to eliminate the cast's thick Aussie accents.
** Mel Gibson himself dubbed Max in that version.

* The song that Cameron Diaz's character sings at a night club in ''TheMask'' is actually dubbed over by voice actress Susan Boyd.

* The Danish {{Kaiju}} film ''{{Reptilicus}}'' was shot with the cast phonetically speaking their lines in English to make it easier to sell in America, but the cast's thick accents forced it's American distributors to re-dub the entire film.

* When you're watching the 1984 movie ''Greystoke'' you're looking at Andie MacDowell, but hearing Glenn Close.

* ''[[ArnoldSchwarzenegger Hercules In New York]]'': The original release had Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice dubbed over by someone much more intelligible. The DVD release features Arnold's undubbed voice. It's pretty painful.

** Marni Nixon also provided a singing voice for Margaret O'Brien in ''The Secret Garden'', some of MarilynMonroe's high notes in ''Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend'', Deborah Kerr in ''The King and I'' and ''An Affair to Remember'', and Natalie Wood and Rita Moreno in ''WestSideStory''
