Monkeys Fist 43089 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Having just endured Mary Poppins with my 3yr old, I was thinking, is there a worse example of a shit accent than Dick Van Dyke's attempt at Cockernee? Keanu Reeves' English accent in Dracula is poor, but nowhere near as bad as the Dykester. Any others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonatine 11556 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I was going to say Sean Connery's Irish accent in The Untouchables, but then i remembered he never even bothered and just used his normal voice Bit like his Spanish accent in Highlander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Apologies, his Pikey accent in Snatch is amazing. He does a northern Irish accent in an IRA film that's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Geordie 1 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 The Geordie lad in Green Street trying to be a cockney. Terrible. Sounded Australian from memory. Just googled it and that guy is in Sons of Anarchy playing an American, didn't have a clue! His American accent must be better than his Geordie accent.

Neville Neville Neville 0 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 lowest common denominator stuff but obviously there's suspension of disbelief in a connery film. but it starts off with him speaking in subtitled russian so clearly there was an attempt at authenticity. still, really like the film. plus, not sure if the fish was serious or not, but laurie's pretty much critically acclaimed for his american accent on house. not heard enough natives from that part of the US to comment myself though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
