Another one that I forgot is Die Hard... Apparently the German dialogue spoken by Hans Gruber's heist team was re-recorded for the home video versions, starting from the remastered Special Edition VHS release, to resolve grammar and punctuation issues that were present in the theatrical cut. Only Alan Rickman's German dialogue remains uncorrected.

I don't know if McTiernan has followed the footsteps of Lucas/Spielberg by ensuring Fox only provide the fixed version for TV broadcasts, I'd have to compare my W/S THX VHS and SE DVD alongside my HDTV recording to confirm.
