Movie Localization: 7 Films That Appear Differently in Other Countries
Subtitling and dubbing are not the only changes or additions employed when importing movies to audiences abroad. A good number of movies end up getting slightly modified not only in their translated or interpreted dialogues, but also in some scenes or images shown on the screen. These changes are done as a result of localization, largely in deference to cultural and political sensitivities. They don’t alter the overall stories or plots of the movies, but they can be significant and noticeable enough. While some movies simply add or change the audio and visuals during post-production, there are movies that shoot different versions of entire scenes to be used in the localized versions shown in different countries.

On the other hand, association did seem to pay off when Sonny pulled young Chazz out of the ill fated car that killed his four friends in. The actual truth, though, firmly sides with the voice that took precedence in the two worlds Palminteri went back and forth between.
