Has the irish accents in Gangs of New York been mentioned?

DiCaprio only attempts an Irish accent at the beginning of the film, maybe he realised it was terrible and just spoke normally for the rest of it

it was so awful that 90 of the 220 cast and crew got cancer from being exposed to the Duke's Mongolian acting skills

District 9.

The Viticus guy (Main character)

Whenever he swore it sounded Scottish and the South African accent in general wasn't that great.

how could we represent that? Oh I know, by letting them have different accents in English

Yip, personally I think it's a really good technique. Some people can't get over it, but I prefer the right actor than a silly voice. That said, silly voices creep in everywhere

Good moaning! May I st on this chair?

Yep. He's said in interview that he emphasised his Saffer accent for the film. But, yes, he is South African.

It's more of a "fock", which you're more likely to hear from an Irishman than a Scot. So, 2 Ambiwlanses are on their way to you

McNulty's British accent in one episode of the Wire. Intentionally, however, given that the actor is British already doing a (very good) American accent.
