Very, very true, Sic!

Watching all the Italian "nasties" on more or less uncut VHS got me used to the English dub and nowadays it's almost fun to recognize some of the voices from different roles in other movies...then again, growing up in Germany I should be used to that considering that, for instance, the same actor has been dubbing Arnold Schwarzenegger AND Sylvester Stallone (plus John Travolta and John Cleese and Terence Hill etc, etc) over there for ages...and he's still doing a terrific job.
