It works in some cases particularly old martial arts flicks.

The dubbed Shogun Assasin sampled in Wu-Tang's Genius debut album (also in Kill Bill Volume 2) sounds like the greatest movie ever made.

Sometimes the dubbing is silly and lends a cheesiness that is no different than cult fans' enjoyment of camp. I guess foreign distributors were unknowingly giving fans unintentional comedy that has now become intentional unintenional comedy (anyone who knows the original intentions please correct me if I'm wrong).

The Iron Chef (the original Japanese) is enjoyable because of the bad dub jobs (the laughter is so affected and fake). However, not cool if people enjoy it to mock Asians.

Sometimes good. Sometimes bad.
