One that stuck in my mindwas when Phantom Menace came out. There was an interview with the lead actors, done by some yank mob. I know that because I saw excerpts on other programs.
Then the local aussie TV has their 'exclusive interview with the stars of star wars'. It's the same footage but they've edited out the american interviewer and some aussie girl is asking the same questions.
Aieeeeee....

Wow that's fascinating and kind of surprising.It's seems almost ironic as it could be the case that some British films had non speaking trailers when shown in America.

More recent example as a DVD called "The Secret"which was a self-help new age pile of claptrap that became popular and made a local woman a lot of money a year or two ago.
She took a US produced video called "The Law of Attraction" and put a snazzy front end on it that claimed (but failed to substantiate) all these people have been trying over the ages to hide this secret from the world. Once that's done, it's into the US production with all american presenters. Every now and then they splice in an Aussie guy giving his "real life" experiences. Local content? The 15 min of WANK intro plus a total of 6 mins chopped through it. (sigh)
An amusing digression, I googled the names of the presenters... without fail, every one of them is a wealthy person who made their money not in some honest profession but on the wealth creation speaking circuit :)
