In one of his first films, Denzil Washington plays a British soldier returning from active duty to South London.

Now, DW is one of the finest actors (IMO) there is but his London accent in that film is truly terrible.

Cannot remember the name of the film though!

For Queen and Country, 1988.

The accents in Alexander are their real ones though aren't they? Mostly Gaelic for Alex's men.

I just found it impossible to listen to the King of Macedonia talking fluent pikey... 'D'ye like Dags?'

If "worst" is used then we can't forget the Cage.

Got this nailed. No need to start a new thread, this will close it.

During the filming of something, the Twilight Zone possibly, there's a scene set in Vietnam and the main character is trying to rescue some kids. They had a helicopter, which promptly crashed during filming. Decapitating the lead actor and kids before exploding into a fireball.

Naturally this footage is on Youtube:

Bob Hoskin's Russian accent in Enemy at the Gate was pretty comical, but soon is forgiven when you see Jude Law not even trying to hide his London accent
Cwoor love a duck i'll get on me plates of meat and go shoot some pesky Jerries so I will Mary Poppins!
