The more and more I see/watch/learn, the more I realize that most movies are dubbed, or looped.
What percent of old/new movies actually have their dialoge looped?

Listening to the director/writer commentary on the Fellowship of the Ring EE, I get the feeling almost all of it was looped. Anything shot in the outdoors is going to have problems. They mention having a lookout at the nearby airport to call them whenever a plane was about to come their way.

Most dialogue in films is looped. Studio stuff less so than location stuff.

When dialog is looped well, it's really sort of seamless. Other times it isn't properly lip-synced, and it almost looks like English-dubbed from a foreign language.
And also, almost any sound you hear in a movie is also put in post-production by foley artists.

A former professor and profession sound designer told us that 70-75% of film dialogue is looped, and 90-95% of it is "tweaked."
And the instances where 100% of it is altered in some fashion isn't a rare occurence.

A good room tone will mask most problems. It's the lack of proper background tone which makes it noticable.
