Top 10 Worst Movie Accents


can you Americans speak any other
language than English we both speak a
little Italian an atrocious xyn no doubt
at best they’re distracting at worst
they’re offensive see grit dough welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
worst movie accents for this list we’re
going for accents that are
unintentionally bad not for those that
are purposefully making fun of a certain
dialect michiko write to me number 10
Jon Voight anaconda please don’t make me
out of monster veteran actor Jon Voight
Don’s a Paraguayan accent to become a
badass snake hunter as if there were any
other kind SiC favorite staff and
somehow this New York native makes a
movie about a giant man-eating snake
that stars JLo
Ice Cube and Owen Wilson even more
ridiculous with his questionable at best
in and out Ricky Ricardo impersonation
anacondas are perfect killing machine
you get the privilege of hearing your
boss break before the power of embrace
causes your veins ice block oh and guess
what garbled accents run in the family
they are like people you can love them
for years
let’s do they can turn on you number
nine Nicolas Cage Conair and Captain
Corelli’s Mandolin I was just about to
start what’s worse that an Italian guy
from California can’t do an Italian /
Greek accent hell of a beignet –
applause or that he can’t do a down-home
Alabama accent oh Conair is one of those
classic 90s era action movies with the
kick-ass punchlines and over-the-top
fight scenes and who better to helm that
than an extension wearing accent
attempting Nic Cage aah
the bunny back in the box
however how he was cast as a musical
Italian military man from World War two
will never understand if I do that I’ll
start getting confused about when I’m
supposed to come in and that in a
concert hall would be a disaster
number eight Tom Cruise far and away hey
first trying new things doesn’t always
work sounding like a leprechaun Cruise
and his wife at the time Nicole Kidman
both fake Irish accents as new American
immigrants
what would a plant I wonder what all the
Irish inflection is tough so credit
where credit is due I did well tonight
didn’t I but this movies dialect coach
should still be smacked put me ten me
they like that fortunately for Tom’s ego
when the time came for him to attempt to
take down Hitler he’s stuck with the
American accent what I said was much
worse
number seven Brad Pitt the devil’s own
and seven years in Tibet even when he
was the sexiest man alive Pitt was still
taking risky roles that required him to
stretch as an actor – – in the case of
the devil’s own that meant playing an
Irish terrorist who used the word I too
much Fotolia warned yet in the case of
seven years in Tibet that meant
attempting a Schwarzenegger impression
ish why must it be this way why why is
it always a problem well neither of
those attempts proved successful chair
George Aria the jury’s still out on
snatch I save your breath occurred your
parts
hey let so it’s hecka to roof lights ah
the sinus house frame furniture and ska
her questions what uh Mattson Shack by
Korver Yeah right it’s a total of
partial to the periwinkle blue box
number six james Van Der Beek varsity
blues we’re as surprised as you are that
Dawson is on one of our lists why don’t
you bring this up anyway
in his first and some would say only
attempt to make it on the big screen van
der beek plays a high school quarterback
dealing with the pressure of
expectations this is your opportunity
for you playing football at West Canaan
may have been the opportunity of your
lifetime but I don’t want your
this story does work best set in Texas
since they live and die by the pigskin
but Van Der Beek’s drawl is way
overblown that is when he remembers to
do it we got the rest of our life to the
mediocre but we have the opportunity to
play like gods for the next half of
football number five
Harrison Ford k-19 the Widowmaker in the
history of the Soviet Navy no sailors
have been given such a boat as k-19 it
can be tough to work a Russian accent
without sounding like you’re chasing
moose and squid for more information see
John Malkovich in rounders be bit Paul
but in true Han Solo style Harrison Ford
gives not a damn and does his best to be
a Soviet military man without you I am
left but the accent comes and goes and
is iffy and distracting at the best of
times making this thriller an accidental
comedy we will not fail number four Sean
Connery The Untouchables and the Hunt
for Red October for his portrayal of a
principled Irish American cop Sean
Connery nabbed an Academy Award and if
you believe that I’ll tell you another
however he won that Oscar due to his
acting skills and not his ear for
dialect how do you know that as his
Irish accent work leaves much to the
imagination
yes I knew it but then Connery got cocky
see and thought he could cover his
Scottish brogue with Russian was it ego
captain we each have a reason Victor
unfortunately Alec Baldwin best Simon
ruski making this scene pretty
preposterous new Poirot ski polyesters
net still do me at pretty bleak beep
revelry
it is number three Dick Van Dyke Mary
Poppins Oh ladies and gents
Carmichael poem suitable for the
occasion extemporized and thought out
before your very eyes
we considered disqualifying this one
based on the criteria that it can’t be
making fun of a certain dialect like is
it truly possible that this was not done
on purpose well no Royal Academy always
supposed still a bet on a finger in your
eye anything but alas we do think Van
Dyck was trying his darndest to sound
like a cockney chimney sweep thankfully
though a it’s a kids movie so we don’t
care that much and B he’s still as
lovable as ever I support number two
Kevin Costner Robin Hood Prince of
Thieves
Costner isn’t the only guilty party in
this film there’s more than enough
judgement to go around to Robin Hood’s
Merry Men you’re still trying to be lord
of the manor however as the lead
Costner’s transgressions are most
obvious I for one would rather die to
spend my life in hiding claiming he ran
out of time before perfecting his accent
the actor sports a British inflection so
negligible
he often lapses into full-on Yankee this
is English Church to the point where he
was later spooked mercilessly unlike
some other Robin Hood’s
I can speak with an English accent
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
oh no sir I wouldn’t want the other
servants to think I was getting above
myself is this a joke nope you better be
reading my name tag friend
she’s absolutely ridiculous number one
Keanu Reeves Bram Stoker’s Dracula 2015
Beauty pass left Beauty pass to belly
this morning give him a surfer dude the
chosen one Oh
or a STONER time traveller oh and
Kiana’s got you covered but give him any
accent remotely out of his comfort zone
and you’re asking for trouble
it was southern twang and the devil’s
advocate is laughable takes a little
getting used to his french-canadian
goalie shtick and young blood is painful
that’s mad he’s an animal and the list
goes on we’re picking on his uneven
British accent in Dracula cuz of this I
know where the Boston sleeps I brought
him down to Carfax Abbey do you agree
with our list which movie accents do you
think are the worst for more top 10s
