What about in the Old English dub when Piccolo's arm is taken off by Raditz "HAHAHA 'Excuse me, has anyone seen my arm, it's big and green, you can't miss it!' BWAHAHA!"

Man that was a long time ago and I pissed myself laughing at it. Is that in the Season 1 box? :D

Yeah its still there. The only stuff that was changed are the really awful lines like Vegeta's special sause and all references to the next dimension.

I have to say, I preferred the Buu Saga's tv version calling Hell "Down Below" to the classic HFIL.

I personally loved most of dub Freeza's lines. I'm an advid dub fan, and though sometimes I feel Funi drops the ball, I love Freeza's nature all throughout the Namek saga. I like how he kept cracking puns and sadistic jokes. And I don't know why but, "Pop goes the weasle", just seemed to fit after he killed Krillin.

I hate to say it but I greatly prefer the redub, when Goku tells Krillian to spare Vegeta to the original.

For Real ?! I mean.. for years I thought Goku spared Vegeta because he wanted to show him that the earthlings can show mercy, which is nothing wrong with that whole idea. But when I saw the Japanese version, I swear I was overwhelmed by Goku's words, even if it was a selfish request.
