Worst accents
http://edition.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/...onnery.accent/
Pretty funny link of the worst accents ever. Yet they left out Dennis Hopper as a Serbian (I think) in "24" and Morgan Freeman's disappearing accent in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

With the exception of The Untouchables, Connery has never tried to speak in another accent. There is no way he tried to speak with a Russian accent in Red October...
What about Harrison Ford in K-19?  |

Schwarzenegger....
I've always found him ridiculous in his cop or military parts. How often do you see a cop or US soldier with an Austrian accent?

Oh God, Harrison Ford in K19 was unforgettable. How about Cary Elwes in Shadow of the Vampire? He sounded like a retarded Norwegian instead of a German.

No one is worse than Kevin Costner in Robin Hood. Granted, he wasn't trying an accent, but everyone else managed at least a good one, if not an excellent one. And the acting job was just as bad.

He was Egyptian!
Only diehard Highlander fans will get that.
I'm sorry, but Connery kicks ass.

The worst was Christopher Lambert as Raiden in Mortal Combat.

Christian Slater didn't talk with an accent either, but nobody mentions that... |

Shouldn't that go under the most embarrassing moments thread or something.

And how could we forget Russell Crowe's Spanish accent in Gladiator ? "Oy crikey, I'm a Spaniard!"
