The Top 10 Worst Accents In Film

[Sigmund Fraud]

TLJ in Blown Away by a celluloid mile.

He has redeemed himself with a fine canon of work lately though.

 

[DotCommunist]

her out of Kingdom of The Crystal skull whose acent toured most of russia and eastern europe.

 

[Reno]

her out of Kingdom of The Crystal skull whose acent toured most of russia and eastern europe.

She playes a 50s caricature B-movie Russian, not a real one. I'm sure Cate Blanchett could do a more realisitic Russian accent if she had to.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Ewan MacGregor in the Star Wars prequels.

 

[kabbes]

I think that Ewan MacGregor does a damn fine job of sounding like Alec Guiness, actually.

 

[kained&able]

Lee evans' californian in theres something abut mary.

Although that is clearly getting the yanks back for every shit british accent ever.

[danny la rouge]

I think that Ewan MacGregor does a damn fine job of sounding like Alec Guiness, actually.

He does a terrible job of sounding like he comes from Wester Hailes in Trainspotting, though.

 

[STFC]

I see Forrest Whitaker gets an honourable mention for The Crying Game. That was poor.

The blond lad in Green Street. Ridiculous.

 

[Lo Siento.]

I see Forrest Whitaker gets an honourable mention for The Crying Game. That was poor.

The blond lad in Green Street. Ridiculous.

his Ugandan accent in The Last King of Scotland is also pish according to a friend of mine from the region.

oim from totting-ham!

 

[Zabo]

Anthony Hopkins in "The Fastest Indian"

It jumps from Kiwi to Welsh and then to West Country. I also think he adds a little mid-west American for good luck.

 

[scifisam]

Kevin Costner in Robin Hood.

And I don't think I've ever heard a good fake Irish accent at all, and there are so many of them.

Mike Myres is spectacularly bad in Shrek, too.

That's surprising, since he was born in Scotland and his parents are Scottish.

 

[Reno]

That's surprising, since he was born in Scotland and his parents are Scottish.

He was born in Canada and his parents were from Liverpool.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Brad Pitt in Snatch.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

He was born in Canada and his parents were from Liverpool.

Mike Myers is a Canadian.

 

[scifisam]

He was born in Canada and his parents were from Liverpool.

I'm certain he made those claims on a show I saw years ago. Probably just an actor exaggerrating then.

 

[19sixtysix]

Mel Gibson in the trailer for Braveheart.

The trailer was enough for me. I have never seen the film.

 

[Orang Utan]

george sanders as shere khan

 

[Orang Utan]

oim from totting-ham!

i cracked up when he started banging on about the frog and the scooorpion

 

[Celt]

micheal caine

any film where he isn't from the south of england

 

[red rose]

The Irish couple in Ronin.

Its not a bad film but those accents are just appaling!

 

[Miss Caphat]

She playes a 50s caricature B-movie Russian, not a real one. I'm sure Cate Blanchett could do a more realisitic Russian accent if she had to.

I love Cate Blanchett, and I got that it was supposed to be like that, but still I was left wondering wtf she was doing in that horrible degrading role in the first place.

 

[8den]

her out of Kingdom of The Crystal skull whose acent toured most of russia and eastern europe.

Moose and Squirrel!


Ten internet points for anyone who gets the reference.

Oh and fucking hell how could anyone not mention Tom Cruise in Far and Away.

 

[8den]

oim from totting-ham!

In fairness if you wandered around Tottenham these days any accent would work...

 

[8den]

Brad Pitt in Snatch.

Nope. It's incomprehensible, but it's very on the nose. Travellers really do talk exactly like that.

 

[The Octagon]

Kevin Costner in Robin Hood.

Does he even attempt an accent?

I always thought Christian Slater and Morgan Freeman are far funnier in that film, accent-wise.

 

[madzone]

In every film. But Mary Poppins is the obvious one.

Don't you mean Maaaaiiiieeereeeee Bobpins?

 

[The Octagon]

Whatever accent Christopher Lambert was trying to do in Highlander.

Also, if we can stretch to TV, Aidan Gillen in The Wire and anytime someone attempted an accent on Buffy (especially David Boreanaz's 'Oirish')

 

[Orang Utan]

tim roth is reservoir dogs and pulp fiction - it's worse than american accents you hear in am dram productions.

 

[kained&able]

someone attempted an accent on Buffy

spike wasn't entirely useless.
