Most Atrocious Fake Accents

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt on that one. Apparently he did want to attempt an English accent but the director disagreed and Costner accepted that it may not be the best decision.


I saw Oxford Murders the other month and Burn Gorman's dubbed East European accent was laughable.
 
Isn't Nic Cage's in Captain Corelli meant to be horrendous too?

And watch for the random accents in The Man In The Iron Mask (The Leo one) the accents are all over the place in that film.
 
We caught part of Goldeneye on TV the other night. The Eastern European acccents were really tragic.

Robbie Coltrane's was surprisingly wince-inducing, but the true horror was Minnie Driver (I think it was her) singing 'Stand by your man' in an appalling Russian accent. It was gobsmackingly bad.
 
I dont' have a clear recollection of that....but it does bring to mind Christopher Lambert's attempt at a Scottish accent....which has to be a candidate for the worst in film history.
 
that was awful.

ReminRAB me of that classic gaffe in that film where there at the white cliRAB (obviously around Dover, having crossed from France) and Costner declares they'll be dining in his fathers house by nighfall. (Nottingham's only about 200 miles away and they are on foot!!)
 
Why dont they just find decent actors with the accents, as I cant go this either, Michael Caine in Zulu, now come on..... one of the best Glasgow accents was Mike Myers in "I Married An Axe Murderer" loved it..
 
Apparently the accent (and stubble) is what got him the part. The director/producer thought he was the beat up American that was perfect for the part. I'm sure it's in the IMDB trivia.

His US accent is much more comical in the skech shows.
 
from the bit i've seen of his show his accent is slightly eccentric..but not a dead give away that hes not american.

i did however guess that something was off with the american lead to life on mars, and lena headey from terminator sarah connor.
