Discussion in another thread got me thinking about the worst attempts at accents in movies. Just wondering what memorable crappy accents you guys can think of in the world of film.
Some that come to mind to get us started;
Christopher Lambert's Scottish accent in Highlander (Great movie, but he sounded about as Scottish as I do pakistani when they had the only Scottish guy in the movie playing an Egyptian ffs!)
Richard Gere's Irish accent in The Jackal (He obviously studied hard watching The Lepricaun over and over to get it juuuuust right)
Cate Blanchett's Russian accent in Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (You need to see the South Park episode about this abortion of a movie if you haven't already!)
Jason Statham's American accent in The One (To quote Statham in Snatch, "He's about as (American), as he is a monkey")
So AM, what other atrocious accents can you remember in film? :afro:
