Horrible Accents in Films

[DannyVTS]

I'm just watching "The Weather Man" not a bad film so far, but Michael Caine's attempt at an American accent is spine tingling.

I found that clip on Youtube that shows what I'm on about.

Got any more to add?

[Pothole]

Green Street.

Richard Burton in The Klansman

[TankRizzo]

Dick van Dyke in Mary Poppins.

Russell Crowe in Robin Hood.

Both awful.

Russell Crowe struggles a bit...

Edit...

Oh...

Scotty Mel Gibson...? Don't think so...

Winstone + The Departed = WTF

[The Game]

Don Cheadle in the Ocean movies will take some beating

[Bebee]

Sean Connery, he does a terrible Scottish accent.

[skoff]

Troy - Colin Farrel and the rest of the cast with Irish accents...

Valkyrie - Eddie Izzard playing a German officer but with an American accent...

The OH tells me Mel Gibson in Braveheart was pretty bad - can't say I noticed myself

As much as I like the rest of the film, Christopher Lamberts accent in Highlander sounds a bit odd for a scotsman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbvbIN0nN7A&fea...

Edit - Also Connery has a bit of a wierd accent for someone who is ment to come from Egypt.

It's better than his "Irish" accent in The Untouchables!

very true.

Just did a quick search to remind myself of bad ones as I seem to subconsciously block them out, don't know why.

Anyway, Kevin Costner as an American Robin Hood but even worse, that horrible typically American wideboy Christian Slater playing himself in the same film. How I wish Alan Rickman had taken their hearts out with a spoon. Just don't mention Rickman's German accent in Die Hard

[Antony Moxey]

Anthony Hopkins in World's Fastest Indian.

Shum mishtake, shirley..?

[RedWhiteMonkey]

Josh Hartnett in Blow Dry (terrible film)

[mybrainhurts]

That French policeman in 'Allo 'Allo...

I mean, French accent...no jolly chance, what?

[Traveller]

Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman in Invictus. Terrible. Lethal weapon 3, complete and utter fail. Leonardo di Caprio in Blood diamond however, surprisingly good.

A bit unfair, as cod german accents go it's pretty inoffensive. Jeremy Irons' was much worse.
