Film Awful Movie Accents

[CassiusClaymore]

So this has come to my attention today. Al Pacino in 'The Local Stigmatic' attempting what appears to be, well, listen for yourself...


It's a bit like Phil Cornwall doing Michael Caine crossed with Harry H Corbett. Half expected him to break into "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off Harold...you dirtay old man" at one point.

Truly Bizarre.

Any one else got some abominable movie accents to share? Lesser known films and the bigger the actor the better...

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

Ray Winstone in The Departed takes top prize here.

 

[horsechoker]

Sounds like Scarface doing a Clcock accent

 

[The Cat]

That bloke from Mary Poppins

 

[SalfordRed18]

The bloke off Vikings in green Street.

Was exceptionally bad.

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Ray Winstone in The Departed takes top prize here.

Yeah I'm generally not that impressed with British actors doing American accents (bar Dom West and Ibris Elba in The Wire). Ray doesn't fully commit here you can tell...


I think basically since Dustin Hoffman said "Hey, I'm walking here!" in Midnight Cowboy, they've all decided it's a piece of piss.

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Yeah awful. Too slow and deliberate. Sounds like he's chewing on a script. From 1:20 on in the below...Christ

Woeful, this is the one that sprang to mind for me, but Pacino's London is pisspoor too.

Irish is one many actors have come a cropper on. Bit of a shitty video but there's some good examples here:


I'd also add Tommy Lee Jones from Blown Away.

 

[2 man midfield]

Don Cheadle in the Oceans films. Sounds like he’s actually taking the piss.

Not sure Sean Connery belongs on there. He doesn't even attempt one does he?

God yeah.

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

God yeah.

Nope Accents are clearly beneath an actor of his stature.

 

[Loon]

Karl Urban in THE BOYS.

 

[shamans]

That jurrasic park guy in peaky blinders. Most Brits trying American accents and other way round. Can Always tell

 

[Rooney24]

Brad Pitt - The Devils Own.

 

[BusbyMalone]

Keanu Reeves in Dracula and Kevin Costner in Robin Hood

 

[Vault Dweller]

Keanu Reeves in Dracula and Kevin Costner in Robin Hood

Wash your mouth out with soap.

 

[BusbyMalone]

Wash your mouth out with soap.

That's what he should've done. Clean his accent up a bit.

 

[Vault Dweller]

That's what he should've done. Clean his accent up a bit.

 

[Sara125]

Dick Van Dyke’s ‘cockney’ accent in Mary Poppins

 

[Garethw]

Yeah awful. Too slow and deliberate. Sounds like he's chewing on a script. From 1:20 on in the below...Christ

Jesus. He’s English as well

 

[SteveJ]

As I mentioned earlier this week, Liam Neeson in Michael Collins:

"Top o' the morning, and Lucky Charms to ye. I'm grand, so. Four-leaf clovers, begorrah, and I'm after Dana. No, I'm not Chinese - I'm from Coke...I mean, Cork."

 

[0le]

The actor who potrayed the female security guard in Night at the Musuem 3.

 

[JPRouve]

Jesus. He’s English as well

Fimmel? He is Australian.

 

[Florida Man]

Fimmel? He is Australian.

Wrong guy. It's Charlie Hunnam and he's from Newcastle.

 

[JPRouve]

Wrong guy. It's Charlie Hunnam and he's from Newcastle.

Aah, someone mentioned Vikings, not Jax Teller.

 

[Florida Man]

Yeah awful. Too slow and deliberate. Sounds like he's chewing on a script. From 1:20 on in the below...Christ

It's hard for me to discern a Geordie accent. And while I can generally pick up a cockney accent, I'm not familiar enough with it to know if someone is doing terribly at it.

 

[711]

Brad Pitt's the dag's bollocks.

 

[adexkola]

Don Cheadle in the Oceans films. Sounds like he’s actually taking the piss.

I'm still confused as to what accent Chadwick Boseman was using in Black Panther.

 

[Berbaclass]

Brad Pitt's the dag's bollocks.

Brad Pitt in Snatch was good IMO

 

[Grinner]

Gerard Butler just talking in any film.

 

[C3Pique]

Charlie Hunnam's in that new Guy Ritchie film too, wonder if he breaks out his cockney again...

 

[Fracture90]

Gerard Butler just talking in any film.

This

Dude just gives 0 feks. Whether he's playing a Greek, a Hun or a goddamn Egyptian diety, he just doesn't care.

 

[Rado_N]

Yeah awful. Too slow and deliberate. Sounds like he's chewing on a script. From 1:20 on in the below...Christ

that’s so bad

 

[yumtum]

Christian Bale is does a pretty decent American accent.

 

[2cents]

Laurence Fishbourne doing Jamaican in Higher Learning. Also McNulty in The Wire.

 

[Grinner]

George Lazenby getting completely dubbed for most of OHMS

 

[Fingeredmouse]

Tony Hopkin's tour of European accents in Dracula.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

 

[Champ]

Took a lass to see last Christmas the other day, Emma Thompson has a pretty awful eastern European accent in that.
Made the film for me.

Nicholas cage's in Captain Corelli's mandolin and also in Con air
