@Mav: I should get a direct link to the goat vid for you...
Comparing the Ocean group dub with the FUNimation dub of Dragonball Z
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5umpiuCwz_U
This is amazing. Leon and I suddenly sparked upon this awhile ago when he complained about the DVD version of Dragonball Z being different to the TV broadcast version.
I'll explain for those who don't actually know. Dragonball Z actually started out being dubbed by Ocean group, who are a Canadian company and uses mostly Canadian VAs. About halfway through the Freiza saga, I think... or maybe at the start of the Trunks saga, there was a switch over to FUNimation who started dubbing their own version of DBZ. Now at this point I thought that Ocean had stopped producing their version, but apparantly not. Apparantly folks in the UK and I think Canada as well got the Ocean group dubs of DBZ, while The US and Australia got the FUNimation dub instead.
So here's a comparison between them, they're marked clearly so you know which is which... and I have to say, no offense to Leon, but the Ocean group dub sounds like Chim and I did the voices for them. It's that terrible.
