I'm surprised you've seen anything else, living over here - I've tried to find the proper version for years and years, since I first got here (about 5 years after it came out) - and couldn't. Well, not without paying a fortune, anyway. But yeah, it was dubbed with American voices so that an American audience could understand it (which is just patronising, if you ask me, quite apart from completely changing the film), and that was the release that was available here on video and then dvd for years... You could eventually get hold of the original version in dvd, but that was relatively recently. There's a slight effect like that in the new movie, where some of the actors (and Theron, obviously) have American accents, which would be fine, but if the world's exploded in apocalypse, then how would she have got there? And besides she says she grew up in a place in Australia, so it doesn't make sense there, either... If they'd just given her (and the others) a get-out clause then fine, but... it niggled at me when I was piecing together the story... Good movie apart from that, though!
