Cheating

The topic suggests deviance, but that is not my intent.

Every once in a while, we need to cheat while editing. I'll list a few examples from my own experience, looking forward to the responses.

Reversing motion to match the script. If the motion looks the same in reverse, most people would not be able to tell the difference.

Using audio from a different part of the footage. Recently, when showing a baby being born, the little rascal did not cry for about a minute. But the dramatic moment was when he emerged from his temporary housing. I hope there are no baby lip-readers watching!

Combining elements of different shots to make the more perfect shot. I have taken a surgical instrument out of one scene and superimposed it into another scene - as long as it does not call attention to itself.

George Lucas corrected his dialogue scenes by taking the eye positions from one take and inserting them into another (I read this in a making of attack of the clones book).

Ok tell me your examples.
