i’d like to add an honorable mention to Gabriel Anwar for her horrible irish accent on the TV show “Burn Notice” which conveniently disappeared halfway through the first season.
Trouble is........I’ve worked with a couple of FOB Irish gents, and if they do the accents for real then Americans would have to use subtitles, cause it took me about two years before I could understand anything those guys were saying..............
Thanks Stoat: what a fun and interesting link.
I’m going to listen to the Hollywood phonys tomorrow.
Julia is a Libtard of the worst kind: she once said that Republicans are somewhere in the dictionary sandwiched between the words reptile and repulsive.
I have another word for her acting abilities:
reprehenible, revolting, retread, and regrettable.
Anyone else?
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!!!!
I think it’s unfair to take Connery to task because I believe he made it plain he wasn’t attempting to do accents in his movies. He’s never really been able to do them, and we forgive him that.
Sure and Begorra,..
Those are some of the worst!
Roberts, Spacey abd Cruise ta be sure.
Connery’s Irish attempts pale when compared to his portrayal of Captain Ramius in “Hunt for Red October.” He made no attempt at all to sound Slavic, testing (successfully) the audience’s ability to willfully suspend disbelief.
No honorable mention of Brad Pitt doing the gypsy “pikey” accent in Snatch?
Supposedly that was Guy Ritchie’s response to the critics who gave him crap for bad accents in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
Richard Gere in “The Jackal”...
But if it impresses that lady in the picture (slapped) OW!. Never mind....
There should be an article written about bad Boston accents in movies. As someone who has one, some of the ones I’ve heard make my ears bleed....
Funniest movie bordering on ethnic slur.
Richard Gere in “The Jackel”.
The thing about Sean Connery is that in every film he’s ever made, he sounds like ta da!!!! Sean Connery. Sean simply cannot do a foreign accent. But, so what...I’s always been a huge Connery fan. No Bond like Connery’s Bond.
I’m a little late on this thread, but don’t forget all the people in Back to the Future III, Michael J. Fox, Michael J. Fox and that girl that played Michael J. Fox’s mother/gg grandmother.
Some of those links are to musical montages.
