Any American trying to do a British accent, except Cary Elwes in RObin Hood Men in TIghts. That was just classic

Any Australian or New Zealand soap star who goes to try and "make it big in Hollywood" and therefore has to try and do an "American" accent so they can fit in. I guess it's only funny if you remember what they used to talk like.

Examples: Cliff Curtis, Temuera Morrison, Martin Henderson, Heath Ledger, Naomi Watts, Nicole Kidman etc

Other than that, you can't go past Nicolas Cage's dodgy Italian in Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

Every actor in Alexander playing a Macedonian(especially the children at the start) had an Irish accent for some reason! :lol:

Any American trying to do a British accent, except Cary Elwes in RObin Hood Men in TIghts. That was just classicWhich is funnier because Cary *is* English! o_0

I vote for the entire cast of "A perfect storm". Probably the worst butchering of the Boston accent in the history of film.

Every American actor ever 'speaking' french

Probably the worst butchering of the Boston accent in the history of film. The accents from The Departed, on the other hand, were beautiful. Except for the fact that no one actually has one anymore :p

The Highlander movies were appalling... Scottish accent anyone?

I hate the fake Irish accent in Sin City. That was just bad.

Some of the accents from Aurthur were terrible. I remember the guy that the knights were saving in one of the first few scenes where the Brits ambushed the convoy had an accent that sounded Russian

I never understood how so many actors fail to do an Irish accent. I think Gillian Anderson deserves credit as she pulled of a flawless Norn Iron accent.

In what film, Cuch?

Worst Ever - Dick van Dyke trying to do Cockney in "Mary Poppins".

I know Harrison Ford pulled off a terrible Russian accent in a submarine movie, I forget which one though...

On the note of a very good accent though - Hugh Laurie in House.

The Mighty Celt, Barmy. Its a boring movie about greyhound racing, but auld Gillian was very impressive.

The Highlander movies were appalling... Scottish accent anyone?Not surprising. The Scot was cast as an Egyptian-cum-Spaniard and a Frenchman was the Highlander.

Costner in JFK. Gawd awful.

The Scot was cast as an Egyptian-cum-Spaniard and a Frenchman was the Highlander. Actually Christopher Lambert was born in the US (Long Island, New York). He was educated in Switzerland and he studied acting in Paris.
In the first movie his Scottish accent is not perfect but it's not as bad as in the sequels.

Antonio Banderas in the 13th Warrior.
Leonardo diCaprio in Titanic.
Jim Carter as Déjà Vu in Top Secret :D
Jean-Claude Van Damme in any of his movies...except Hard Target.

How about those terrible accents that are intentional....

French Knights in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau (Steve Martin did a very bad impression of Peter Sellers' butchering of a French accent).
James Coco as Inspector Perrier and (again) Peter Sellers as Inspector Wang in Murder By Death.
Yet again, Peter Sellers as the title villian in The Fiendish Plot of Doctor Fu Manchu.
One more time... Peter Sellers as Dr Strangelove.

Well then you could add those germans in Top Secret as well...

How about those terrible accents that are intentional.... 'Allo 'Allo was a classic series :D

God Moaning. The resist-once have accqo-aired a bum. They are going to ex-plod the whaleway brodge.

Every German soldier speaking... English?
Kevin Kline in French Kiss.

I know Harrison Ford pulled off a terrible Russian accent in a submarine movie, I forget which one though... That one I was remembering too, the Widowmaker, Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson were terrible.

Mel Gibson in Braveheart has probably got to be the worst.

Peter Sellers as Clouseau (or Dr Strangelove or Hrundi V. Bakshi) doesn't count for me because he's spoofind the accent as opposed to actually trying to imitate it (there's the real French accent, there's bad French accents, and then there's Peter Sellers).

George Clooney in Syriana trying to speak Arabic doesn't count either, because the problem there isn't the accent: he's simply not speaking anything that remotely resembles Arabic (which makes the guy opposite him telling him "Your arabic is quite good" even funnier)

I saw a preview for Blood Diamond and Leonardo DiCaprio's accent (British? French?)... I don't even know wtf he's *trying* to sound like.

God Moaning. The resist-once have accqo-aired a bum. They are going to ex-plod the whaleway brodge. "The troon corrying the ponting has been bummer by the RAF"
"Bummed by the RAF?"
"Bummed by the RAF?"
"What have those naughty RAF been doing now?"

Sorry, the accents in Allo Allo are appalling and extremely unfunny.

The French chick in "Out Cold." It seemed as though every other scene she forgot she was French, and spoke in a 'normal' accent. Throughout the movie, this got more and more pronounced, until she finally started to phase it out in mid-conversation. By the end of the movie, the phase-out was complete. Pure 'merican, and proud.
