I am intrigued when a Disney film for example adds a gay reference that is not relevant to the movie, so it is easy to remove when heading to China or something.

What was the most interesting thing you have seen done to a movie or show to appease foreign governments?

You mention removing scenes for the Chinese market but I've read many movies have extended scenes added when shown in China featuring Chinese actors added to Hollywood movies. I believe one of the Transformers movies had this.

Neat, are the extra scenes still relevant to the plot?

Nope, I think there was a Iron Man movie where theres some Chinese doctors treating Tony Stark and discusses the moral implications of modified human (If I recall correctly).
