German dubbing in the middle of Close Encounters

Iwaneczko123 — Mon, 28 Feb 2022 09:43:36 GMT

I watched Close Encounters of the Third Kind on Sky Cinema Mystery HD last night and at approximately 1 hr 7 mins, the main character played by Richard Dreyfuss is overdubbed and speaks 3 lines in German. It's at the point where he's taking the news articles down and he pulls the top off the model mountain. From the next scene on, its back to English dubbing.

I've just downloaded the SD version and the German dialogue isn't there. Not sure if it was just on the broadcast version.

Anyone else notice this?

Yeah I've noticed it twice! Weird for it to be one scene only 🤣

Have you tried double deteing the HD version and then downloading it again to double check this German dialogue?

Sorry, should have updated. I emailed Sky relations when @caesarome suggested it a couple of weeks ago. They said they'd fix future broadcast versions

It's not a big deal for me, I just thought it was really strange - why does a copy with 3 random German lines even exist in the first place?

Probably never know.

That is a good question. Too bad we'll never know the answer.
