Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. This looked like from earlier trailers that it might have been ok. But then up pops possibly a career ending decision for Mr Tarantino.

Have a look at this clip and tell me what stands out like a sore dogs dangly...

Not good. Somebody should give that bloke a slap and tell him that he can't do an English accent. And here's a bet for everyone. Odds on him turning out to be the traitor leaking information to the Germans?....scratchchin

Made me think though, any other appalling casting errors that spring to mind?

I'm only getting sound on that, but if that's Tarantino it sounds like he's trying to impersonate John Cleese.

Just found the clip on youtube, he should have just done his Scottish Shrek accent. At least it would have been intentionally funny biggrin

"Looks like an orange on a toothpick,"

"Spherical but quite pointy in parts,"

Made a lot of money with Austin Powers, now thinks he can do no wrong. My friend runs a video shop and tried to watch The Guru (his latest solo project.), says its the most unwatchable load of garbage he's ever seen.

Sly Stallone did a Get Carter remake.

In the words of the chuckle brothers.... "Oh dear oh dear oh dear"

Tina Turner in Mad Max 3, was pretty bad.

Most of the casting, acting, script and sound track in Green Street was appauling.

Another scene with some charactors walking, time to play the same music again ..... and again ..... and again ..... and again ..... and again
