You know how I know Brad Pitt's accent in Snatch was good? Because I couldn't understand a word he was saying.
Absolutely! I thought it was pretty spot on actually
+Marvin8861 I never watched the movie, but from this clip I had no idea what he even said. xD
Silent Warrior dont know if youre american or other, but in britain we have pikeys and that is who he was playing. Its sort of irish crossed with nonsense! And he did it quite well really. I guess the people at watchmojo could be forgiven for not knowing what he should have sounded like, they probably thought he was just doing a bad irish accent!
Rossi the Bossi I didn't say it was bad or anything, I just couldn't understand what he was saying. I'm not very familiar with a variety of different accents, but I'll take your word for it that he did well. Yeah, Watchmojo may have thought it was bad, but no one has to agree with them, lol.
There is an Irish UA-cam channel called Facts. There is a video where Irish people judge Irish accents in movies done by Americans and they said Brad Pitt was the best and that they could understand him in snatch.
Brad Pitts accent in Snatch is perfect. He sounds exactly like a pickey.
That is true. I work in a betting shop and we get Pikeys in all the time, they all talk like that lol x
What's a Pickey?!.
Irish gypsy/traveller
@@laurabeaton490 Sorry, I was just messing around as he spelt 'Pikey' as 'Pickey'.
Oh haha I didnt notice the spelling !
Brad Pitt's accent was supposed to be Irish Gypsy, and he nailed it
I laughed to tears when I heard supposed Italian accent of Nicholas Cage XD
me too sister oh lawd
+Flores Amarillas Which is even more hilarious when you consider that fact he IS Italian. Real last name is Coppola. Yes, he's the nephew of Francis.
1958PonyBoy Nowadays, Francis Ford Coppola would be soooo thankful to his Nephew Nicholas, for avoiding using his original last name for casting... Cage became so much a joke of himself & Coppola family, that he's not worthy of using Coppola as last name anymore. Setting aside the name of Nicholas Cage's son (Kal-El, lol!!)
Brad Pitt was waay worse: "corre*c*to". Btw, I'm Italian and he didn't sound too off in this clip (I didn't see the movie though).
Oh, and why do say that he's Italian? He was born and raised in the USA, just because your granpa is Italian doesn't make you one, ask Scorsese. (it works the other way around too: if a person with American parents was born and raised in Italy I wouldn't say that he's American).
@@urracojalpa4481 Cage is ethnically Italian, so yes that makes him Italian. There are many 2nd and 3rd generation Italian Amercians who could pull off an Italian accent way better than Cage can, so that makes Cage's performance look even worse lol.
And why bring up Scorsese? He himself identifies as an Italian American. And "American" is not an ethnic group, so of course a person born to "American" parents in another country wouldn't be American.
Scarlet Johansson speaking Russian in Avengers. my god that was terrible. I mean how hard is to learn couple of words?!
that was pretty crap too (seeing as im russian myself). But honestly I could not even understand alec baldwins supposed "Russian" XD
TheAwesomeLena
What part of Russia? Black Widow's accent speaking in English is non-existant I'll agree, but I've heard from a friend in St. Petersburg that was the first she's heard true Russian spoken in an American film. Ironic given her origins.
Well both my parents are from the far-east side of Russia (i was born in Aus but i speak fluently). But it was some of the best ive heard from any actor/actress (Scarlett Johansons russian, not Alec Baldwins. His was absolute piss lol) given the circumstances. hahaha
Scarlett Johansson didn't even try to sound Russian in that movie. She just stuck to her native American accent when she was Black Widow. I agree, she should have tried to do a Russian accent considering she was portraying a Russian Marvel Comics character.
the best russian ive heard from an american actor was viggo mortenesn from eastern promises, dude not only sounded russian, but sounded like a russian ganster
As a half Irish guy, I feel like I can say that Brad Pitt's accent wasnt even all that bad, he tried his best. Tom Cruise, however, sounds like a bloody racist person trying to do a stereotypical Irish accent.
much agreed. Brad Pitt's wasn't bad at all.
As someone who was born and raised in Northern Ireland where Brad Pitt's accent is supposed to be from, I can honestly say it was perfect. Same with his accent in Snatch. Two of what I think are the most difficult (or at least the most often butchered) accents to fake, and I think he did them perfectly.
As someone who had the 'fortune' many years ago to work in a bar frequented by a whole caravan-park-full of Irish 'travelers', I'd have to say Brad Pitt was spot on :D
I thought that too. But then I'm not Irish so I thought maybe I just didn't really know what I was talking about.
lloyd watkinson I'm not trying to put you down or anything, but I have two things to say to you:
Firstly, pikey is a racist word for Irish people, so you should use the term 'traveller' when referring to those people.
Secondly, you said that 90% of travellers were born in England which is absolutely absurd. The majority were born in Ireland, please look it up.
Brad Pitts accent in "Snatch" was golden. I loved that accent
That's exactly what I was thinking he can only do that type of accent idk if it's gypsy like talk/British or an area in Britain
Nate one gypsies are travellers who go around Britain in caravans, and for some reason they speak in an Irish accent, Brad Pitt does it well
I’m Irish, it was most certainly not golden...the exact opposite actually...
@@rebeccamcgoldrick1697 in "Snatch" they acknowledge that their gypsie accent is a combination of Irish, English, and jibberish
@@rebeccamcgoldrick1697 : I’m Irish as well and I thought it was class... I loved the film.
Every attempt at an Australian accent ever.
Mangle Metamorphis HAHAHAHA yes, pretty much :P
Mangle Metamorphis Except Robert Downy Jr. Watch the Mojo video about actors who are good at foreign accents, RDJ has two movies he did an Aussie accent in - it was the best I have ever heard.
Mangle Metamorphis I think the worst "Australian" accents I heard were in Pacific Rim
+Mangle Metamorphis It's very easy to do - It's like the generic British one but you say "eh" instead of "ah" as in "man" and also make a HUUUGE accent on "o"s as in "hello" - instead of saying hello you say something like "helllahoy"
Max Khovansky "Helllahoy"? Um, dude, I am an Aussie and even I have no idea what you're talking about...
The 'Scarlet Witch' character in Avengers: Age of Ultron was one of the worst faux accents I've heard in recent time.
Funny cause after tht one movie she stop doing it.
Pitt's accent in Snatch was freaking awesome.
Just like his southern accent in Kalifornia
Absolutely. Brilliant work in Snatch.
Brad Pitt’s accent in snatch is INCREDIBLE. Any Irish person could understand every word, it was a perfect pikey accent
Uh... no. That was not a pikey accent. Not at all.
It was fuckin dogshite sounded like he had a paperclip in his gob the whole film
❤😂
As much as I love her, Halle Berry deserves an honorable mention for her African accent as Storm (Ororo Munroe) in the X-Men movies. I assume she was going for a Kenyan accent, but it was atrocious and faded in and out.
Brad Pitts accent was intentionally in audible, did you fuckers not watch the movie? He's a piker, the accent isn't Irish, it isn't British, it's piker.
It's Irish traveler I dope
What?
LOL Irish Traveler or Gypsy, otherwise known as "pikey". A "piker" is something more familiar on the stock exchange/trading floor/sales ☺
That's not what they're called in the film, it's English English, not American English. So that definition is irrelevant.
Yeah that's why they didn't include snatch but only devils own and seven years in Tibet
You were wrong about Brad in Snatch.
I'm surprised Don Cheadle's butchered Cockney accent in the "Oceans 11, 12 and 13" movies wasn't included in the list. (At least he did apologize for it after the fact.)
I honestly expected Don at No.1... not even an honourable mention smh
I didn't think Don Cheadle was that bad. In the beginning of the movie I actually thought he may be British. Then later he accidentally dropped it a few times.
I didn't think he sounded that bad. I thought his character was cool!
Brad Pitt was doing an Irish gypsy accent on Snatch I think he pulled it off
Brad Pit in Snatch, made that movie a gem in my eyes.
"You're not goin anywhere ya thick lump, you'll stay until the jobs done" and "Did you do it?", are one of the few lines I understood from his dialogue
The jury is not out on Snatch. Pitt's accent was epic.
Im irish and I think Brad Pitts accents in The Devils Own and Snatch are brilliant.
Brad Pitt's gippo's accent in snatch is good, that's just how pikey's sound, mix of English, Irish that's hard to understand
Definitely. I have traveller friends who sound just like that. I thought he was brilliant.
I don't think a lot of these are bad accents necessarily... I just think that we're SO used to certain actors' voices and normal accents that hearing them do another is often strange and sounds weird and takes away the believability... but they're not necessarily bad. :)
They're bad in that it's so easy to tell they are being faked.
Aaron H. Go back to your cave.
Kevin Costner was doing a British Accent in Robin Hood??? Fuck me backwards... I've seen that film half a dozen times and loved it, but I thought he was just doing his normal American voice.
Well isn't that racist.
Is it? Danged if I know.
noR10swDBaur I'm not sure any races were involved in that comment XD
I did not hit her
it's not true, it's bullshit!
I did not hit her
I DID NAAHT.
Oh hi Mark.
Oh hi Jhonny Wasup
You are tearing me apart Lisa!
What kind of movie accent did Sylvester Stallone do during the last four decades?
That would have been too hopeless to even attempt.
jay45ecp Uhh, it’s not an accent. There were complications at Stallone’s birth, which led to half of his face getting paralyzed.
I don't see how Brad Pitt in Snatch could be in this list: 1. It's not an accent, it's a language on it's own 2. It's meant to be funny and in a joking way. 3. Snatch is too badass a movie.
It's really not another language mate..
Brad Pitt's "Pikey" accent in Snatch is nearly spot on...
And the worst accent in this video has got to be 4:48..."Moose and Squirrel". haha
Absolutely cannot take Nicholas cage seriously 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
+joelercoaster he should've called it quits after "raising arizona"!!!
Nicholas Cage in general just shouldn’t be on any screen. He’s a curse
@@reneye1813how dare you Cage is a legend
@@reneye1813his recent movies prove that sacrilege false. I read that the reason he did pretty much any movie he could was because he was severely in debt. Now he's not, and chooses movies that suit him much better.
Sean Connery? But he ALWAYS does his own Scottish accent, that's what he's known for..
Maybe he should stick to Scottish roles then
@@dynamokev4253 But they give them to Australians and French though.
Brad Pitt in Snatch was brilliant.... everyone on these shores knows this...
Brad Pitt was PERFECT in Snatch.
I was gonna say the same thing... lol
diego laris
:-)
***** HAHAHAHA! REALLY? I didn't know that. That's hilarious.
was literally going to comment the same so i'll just thumbs you up
love that movie
As a Brit with a fairly standard British accent (BBC accent if you will), I can say that it is a hard one to fake properly. Mostly people sound awful.
Apparently Dick Van Dyke only had a couple of days to work with his dialect coach before filming his scenes. It's a shame that his accent has detracted from an otherwise incredible performance; his talent as a dancer and his gift for physical comedy are truly astounding. And Keanu's accent, uneven? No, it was very even: it was evenly shit from beginning to end.
Unintentionally funny and then you have Brad Pitt's role in Snatch?
Brad Pitt was amazing in Snatch!
Pitt's accent in Snatch buys him forgiveness for the rest.
I thought this movie was Pitt's absolute best! The movie was great and he was almost too fun to watch!
I honestly thought Al Pachino's Tony Montana character in Scarface would be number 1 only because he actually admitted in interviews that Cubans said that his accent was so off that anyone could would he wasn't a true Cuban.
John Travolta's Serbian accent in 'Killing Season' (2013), too strong and got annoying after a while.
Can someone explain to me what this "British" accent is? You seem to call other accents "Scottish" or "Welsh" or "Cockney" but then say "British". Makes no sense. ---should probably add that I'm Scottish and don't actually need an explanation, I was making a point :P
theres no such thing as a british accent
^Exactly. Wish people would stop saying it.
***** ^ THIS !!!
Welsh, Scottish, English and Irish are all British accents because England Ireland Scotland and Wales are all in the country Britain
Lloyd Pagett I'm Scottish and you miss my point. Only certain accents ever get called British, while the others get called Welsh and Scottish etc. my point was, what the hell is this British accent. I believe (Americans mostly) see Britain and England as the same thing and call "posh" English accents "British accents" but if they hear someone from Scotland they will say "Scottish accent" or Scotch if they are even more ignorant.
The strange thing about Schwarzenegger movies is that whilst nearly all his characters have English surnames like Quaid, Richards, Kimble and Tasker, he simply cannot do anything other than his own brand of an Austrian accent.
Touche
pretty much the appeal of his movies are his quirky muscly characters who all share the classic "GET TO THE CHOPPER!" voice
That's not an Austrian accent. It's a Schwarzenegger accent. He sounds very much the same in English and in German.
Being an Austrian myself I've never met anyone here who speaks like Schwarzenegger...
i think pit nailed a traveller accent in snatch
What about Michael Caine when he is supposed to be upper class. Don't Americans realize that he has a working class cockney accent, and always has had?
This is not a popular opinion, but I think that Al Pacino's "accent" in Scarface is atrocious.
Brad Pitt didn't sound too bad in the clips shown and the jury has ruled that his Snatch accent was incredible. It was made to be uniquely indecipherable and yet at the same time he is actually saying words...he's kinda like Kenny from South Park in that regard.
He slipped a couple of times in Snatch. But that "accent" is what made his character shine.
100% agree. I liked the accent. If anyone does an Irish better (who isn't Irish), I'd like to see it. Irish is hard.
I can't believe Cate Blanchett didn't make this list for Indiana Jones 4. Her russian accent was hilarious
John Travolta's attempt at a Southern accent in "The Generals Daughter" was horrific.
So was his Texas in Urban Cowboy
Sean Connery's examples don't count because he wasn't even TRYING to do accents in those films. For that matter, he never attempts any accent other than his own, it's part of his appeal.
Exactly. He's like "You know it, I know it. I'm Sean Connery, you're lucky I'm in this piece of shit, now let's get on with it."
He didn't even ask "Do you speak Russian" from the clip as far as I can tell. would translate to "You are Russian?", and would also be very rude to boot as Ты is reserved for close friends and family members.
Why is Connery on this list? Sean Connery has played English, Irish, Americans, Spanish, Russians, all sorts. At no point in his career has he EVER tried to alter his accent. Don't beat Connery down for being cast in these roles. I think it's quite apparent what you would be getting when casting him. Oh and point of order, check out Tom Hanks in Cloud Atlas (a film me no like) His Irish accent is crap
So is his Russian.
Connery's accent is the 'shound ov loosh denshurrs"
He has a voice that I want to eat, that's for sure.
I have never heard Connery's undubbed voice.
From what you wrote I gather that he never bothered with faking accidents and just spoke Connery?
Schwarzer Ritter I's say at a push he's spoke "Smooth Scottish" for Bond. There's not one role he's managed an accent of any kind. But then he never tried! Ford however did try a Russian accent and failed miserably. Note: Lambert did try (ironically) a Scottish accent for Highlander opposite Connery (him supposedly Spanish) and was awful.
Non British people might not get this....but Green Street is by far the worst accent in the history of acting. A guy from the North of England trying to act cockney and it comes off Australian at times, American at times and generally just all over the place. Not good.
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. That 'mockney' accent was the piss icing on the shit cake. The film was bad, but his 'crapcent' made it terrible.
Totally agree! I love Charlie Hunmann (sorry if I spelled his name incorrectly) but yes, his cockney is fucking terrible.
It might sound Australian to non-Australians, a lot of people don't realise how bad attempts at Australian accents are.
Hey, Dick Van Dyke's accent was perfect in Mary Poppins!
XDDDDD
You'll never see Hugh Jackman here.
Or Hugh Laurie. What is it about Hughs?
Fuck no. When I first heard his real accent, I was shocked. He's good at disguising his accent.
***** Van Helsing was a good fun movie in my opinion. I didn't find anything wrong with his accent since his character was a man who didn't know where he came from and traveled across the world probably adopting accents from different nations.
tiffany marrero He doesn't "disguise his accent"; he puts on an American accent.
Or the dude who plays Rick on Walking dead. That Brit can do western pretty well.
I feel bad for Keanu. Why would they put him in a movie that required thick accents when most people were fully aware he only sounded good when talking under his breath. So basically, every line of dialogue he has in "The Matrix"
Not to mention he has fewer facial expressions than Steven Seagal and Chuck Norris :D
How about Leonidas having a scottish accent in 300?
SaketG Better speaking in his own accent than trying Greek.
***** Yes! I absolutely love Gerry, but they should just cast him in roles where he can have his own accent. But PS I Love You is the worst. I kept trying to figure out what it was he was trying to do, until they said he was Irish. He has also since apologized to the Irish people for that attempt. LOL
+SaketG That wasn't a put on accent. He's just Scottish.
gantzisballs Leonidas is Scottish?
SaketG Gerard Butler is.
Snatch is literally perfect. It is a more common jumbled Irish accent like you'd hear them speak to each other
Tarantino's Aussie accent in "Django Unchained" is highly suspect as well.
I must say, most Aussie accents from non-Aussies in film aren't great.
Maddolis The irony is Hollywood is loaded with Aussies and Kiwis who flawlessly play American characters (like The Walking Dead, etc.). Am frequently surprised to hear in interviews these heavy accents suddenly emerge from so many actors.
As a South African chap I can confirm that he sounded more like a South African than an Aussie.
Brad Pitt's accent in the Snatch is AMAZING!!!! As well as his facial expressions, the ways he moves his eyebrows and smiles... I've lived in East London for four years and Brad Pitt manages to reproduce a perfect cockney accent and attitude... and he is American! Not even English people can reproduce that accent, sometimes! Brad Pitt was the sexiest man alive, but he has always been a great actor (perhaps too much underrated).
Eh its an Irish traveller accent he has in snatch.
LOL!!
"The Snatch", ahahahahaha!
Haha ya sap! He's an Irish traveler in Snatch not a cockney londoner lloooooooll
karl byrne touché! ... well, that's why not even English people can reproduce the accent he had in that movie, LOL!
vins1979 My father can. He has perfected both a cockney accent, and a Reading accent. My father was born in the West Ham area, known for its cockney accent, but he soon picked up on the Reading accent when he moved.
Kevin Costner's attempted Boston accent in some movie about the Cuban missile crisis (forgot the title) was absolutely TERRIBLE as well.
+Scheurthiaume *Thirteen Days. ;)
+Scheurthiaume They could make an entire Top Ten list of bad Boston accents. Think Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting, Martin Sheen in the Departed and, my choice for number one, Tom Hanks in Catch Me If You Can.
Brad Pitt's accent in Snatch is decent, most (not all, I admit and acknowledge) of the Irish people I have met/know actually said that his Irish accent was quite good.
Also how did they not mentioned Cameron Diaz's Irish accent in Gangs of New York...made the movie unwatchable for me!
Val Kilmer - The Ghost and the Darkness. Horrendously bad Irish accent.
Cate Blanchett - Indianna Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, she totally forgets to do her terrible Russian accent half the time.
Also Brad Pitt's 'pikey' accent is absolutely spot on.
thankyou! pikey, not irish. he could have slurred a little more but as close as you'd get with a yank. it comes to something though when british actors do American dialects better than those from the damned place.
I've always thought Keanu's English accent was the worst accent ever. In British cinemas everyone was laughing out loud the entire time he was on. Russell Crowe in robin Hood should have made the list as his accent is a disaster. As for Kevin Costner in the UK everyone assumed he just decided to do it in an American accent. I would not put him on the list as I had no idea he was trying so an English accent at any point. Sean Connery doesn't care he just does the same accent regardless, it was absurd he won an Oscar for playing an Irish man in a Scots accent.
I'm Irish and when Americans try and do the Irish accent it's so cringe
Yep lol
embarrassing indeed
You got to agree that Brad Pitt did well in snatch, am of the irish diaspora, travel over every year but cant make out travellers and I struggle with Dublin aswell
oh Jesus ya
Lol it's not just Americans. You should here my Brit friends trying to attempt Irish. Actually pretty hilarious when doing an American accent too because they go to the extreme and mimic a cartoon version of a deep southern accent.
Denzel Washington's English accent from the film "Much Ado about Nothing" should be on this list
I honestly feel that Keanu's accent worked in Dracula, even if it is bad. The whole movie strikes a great balance at the center of serious artistry and serious cheesiness, with lots of exploitation and camp thrown in.
Are you pulling my leg? My husband is English, I lived there, and when I saw the movie I was like WTF?
He's not the greatest actor as it is. Although it was cool when he bought me dinner.
Kathyuk28 I agree that, as a simulation of an English accent, it was pretty bad. But are realism & accuracy really that important in a Dracula movie?
For me, 1992's _Dracula_ works as a movie because it embraces equally its triumphs, its cliches and its outright badness with arms clad in silky red lingerie and the warm gaze of a lover drunk with a rich red wine. The bad parts are so lusciously bad that they become good-Keanu's accent included.
That's my take anyway. You're free to have a different one: it's just a self-indulgent horror movie. :-)
Keanu sounded like he was coughing when he said what he said at 8:23-8:29.
Bew-dapest
As much of a Gary Oldman fan as I am Keanu's and Wynona's accents completely ruined the movie for me. I sat through it once in the theater and avoided it ever since.
You're going to mention Snatch?
Pitt's accent was SUPPOSED to be bad and ridiculous on purpose.
D'ye loike dags?
Pitt's accent was perfect for the role.
YDafuk would i want caravan with no weeels??
YES! Keanu in Dracula. Haha
What about princess leia's weird Alderanean English accent that faded throughout the trilogy?
rat assassin What's even more absurd was that Leia wasn't even Alderaanian! So it's a fake fake accent!
That doesn't add up though, because if you were born in one country, and grew up in another, you WILL develop an accent based on the area you currently reside in. So yeah....
+rat assassin you're picking alderaan reasons to hate on star wars
+Oscar Somers HA
Rivaled only by Halle Berry's Jamaican accent in the first X-Men movie that conspicuously disappeared by the second movie.
Brad Pitt's character of Mickey in "Snatch" is perfect, as Turkish puts it, "they speak that way so you don't understand them when you negotiate."
Brad Pitt's accent in Snatch is intentionally gypsy, and it's actually quite good, considering Irish gypsies all have different variations on the Irish accent, none of which anyone who isn't a gypsy can ever understand.
The narration running through that scene even explains that its a mix of different accents. I guess its hard to grasp for some people
Millers Media Pitt played an excellent gypsy now his other Irish accent is crap
Dublin17Ireland
His accent in The Devil's Own was a Northern Irish accent, which most people are unfamiliar with. I think he got it spot on! It's only crap if you're expecting him to sound like he's from Dublin (and not Belfast). Gypsy accent was excellent too!
It's interesting that, oftentimes, a good British actor can NAIL an American accent, but not the other way around. When I first saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit, at first I really thought Bob Hoskins was an American actor! This is before I saw and heard him in the behind-the-scenes interviews and was stunned to learn he was British!
Subtle difference, everyone says canadians say "aboot" but to my ears it sounds more like "aboat" or possibly a hybrid between the two. Maybe this is why the Canadians always object to this portrayal. Often the subtlety in understanding a true accent is lost. Canadians also don't say "baig" instead of "bag"...it's more like "bayeg" but shorter, as if one syllable.
There are many different Canadian dialects, not just one.
East (i.e. Newfoundland), Central/West (i.e. Saskatchewan, Alberta), Ontario, Quebec... they're all very different.
I say 'bag' like I assume you do.
People from Toronto, like myself, would not even be known as Canadian to Americans, save for very small differences that we could avoid (like 'eh'). Yes, I say 'eh' often.
When it comes to 'about', there is a very slight difference, but it's definitely not said as 'aboot' from anybody I've ever spoken to.
The best I can describe the difference is:
A-bowt and A-bout (Canadian).
TripleFermentation I'm Canadian and have studied the differences between American and Canadian dialects. Most Canadians say "ab-out" and Americans say "ab-ow-t". In the Maritimes, however, they actually do say "aboot", although not as strongly as Americans seem to think. A bigger difference is that we say "s-oh-rry" and Americans say "s-aw-rry", and we say "nyewz" while Americans say "nooz". Most people that I know (myself included) actually do say "baig", though. :)
If you're interested, a really good documentary is called "Talking Canadian" which should be on CBC's website.
I say "s-oh-rry", but I definitely don't say "nyewz"! :P
To me, the word "sorry" is a huge giveaway. I don't know much though tbh it's just my husband that's Canadian
Mande Peer Soar-ry is definitely the most noticeable word in the Canadian's vocabulary.
I think all these examples are trumped by the narrator. She has the worst "Reporter's Accent" I have ever heard. It's excruciating.
John Wayne as Ghengis Khan!
hahahhahahahhahah
that'll be the day pilgrim
that movie is legendary when it comes to miscasting.
Where is the top 10 worst British accents?
You'll have to go to WatchMojoUK for that.
Brad Pitt in Snatch is a career high point.
Connery never gave up the Scottish accent. His name negated the need.
Nicholas Cage is too goddamn funny
HOW CAN YOU FORGET MERYL STREEP!? Her Australian accent in that movie about Lindy Chamberlain is so horrendous, it's an international joke.
The funny thing is, whenever American actors try to do an Australian accent, they end up doing an almost perfect kiwi accent. Whenever they try to do a kiwi accent, a kitten dies.
Julia Roberts' Irish brogue in "Michael Collins". Liam Neeson's New Yorker accent in "A Walk Among the Tombstones". Jennifer Lawrence's New York accent in "The Hustle".
At the time when Robin Hood supposedly existed back in the 13th century, Middle English was spoken in England wouldn't have sounded like it does today anyway and was closer to Anglo-Saxon, so Costner's bad British accent didn't matter. For that matter, even Elizabethan English of Shapekpeare's time, which is almost modern English and spoken a few centuries later, probably sounded much closer to American English than what we think of as the "correct" British accent (as if there was one British accent anyway!)
really?? Brad Pitts Snatch accent is on this list?? I thought that was the biggest highlight of that film!
It wasn't on the list. They said the verdict was still out on it.
it was a very good and accurate accent, Pikeys do sound like that, its like irish but weirder and different
Why was Sean Connery on there for Hunt for Red October?! That makes no sense whatsoever. He doesn't even try to use an accent at all during the entire movie, he just talks like regular Sean Connery. So you put him on this list due to the whole 2 lines of dialogue he delivered in Russian?! Ohhhhkay???
Agree with the number 1 even though a lot of other awful jobs were omitted but it was a reasonable list.
Keanu Reeves excelled at roles where he played very stoic characters like Neo and Constantine. No accents just slow paced and thought out dialogue. Not that thats a challenge for any actor but he owned those roles completely.
I couldn't agree more about Keanu in Dracula. I'm very surprised Sir Michael Caine's accent in 'On Deadly Ground' didn't make the list.
Brad Pitt's Italian accent in inglorious bastards was awesome :D
"Gor-LA-ME!!"
As much as Kevin Costner's British accent was pretty laughable, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was and still is a classic action movie with a lot of humor, heart and some pretty clever bow and arrow work. Great cast, you gotta love it!
"Arreviderci" from Inglorious Basterds is actually the funniest thing ever 👌🏻😂👌🏻
I hate that Irish accents are always high pitched and squeaky.
And they nearly always say Aye or Laddie. I'm Irish, not Scottish.
I can tell by your name. Very Celtic.
I dislike American, Belfast, London and Australian accents. Lol
I didn't say I hate Irish accents, just that they're always portrayed in films as high and squeaky.
Im irish living in north america. This explains why people tell me I don't sound like an Irish person- because I don't speak like a leprechaun, teheechacha diddley dee potato
As a person who speaks Russian, I gotta tell that Ford's accent was decent, so was his acting. He really looked Russian.
I was half-expecting Kate Winslet's accent in Titanic. Even though it['s not that great, it works because her character was living in the 1910s or 1920s, where word articulation was a bit more pronounced and quick in America then than it is now, and she kind of already does with her natural English accent.
Hello fan how are you doing. is me Nicolas cage. I'm here to see people who watch and support my movies. For how long have you been my fan.❤❤❤❤💋💋🍒⚘⚘
Can we talk about the atrocious, inconsistent accents in the depahted?
Oh ya! What made it worse was the accent Matt Damon used! HE'S FROM BOSTON!! smh.
And actors Mark Rolston and Ray Winstone (who play members of Jack Nicholson's gang do dodgy Boston accents
Josh Travolta in Killing Season
Who's that?
connor mccartney Typographical error. I meant John
branot89 I know.
branot89 Thank you!!! The only reason I came to this video, to see if it was on the list. Another fucking movie wasting his talents, and it brought down Robert De Niro too.
Ok my mom is born in Raised in Dublin Ireland, i have been there 3 times, I have heard both normal and gypse accents. BRAD PITTS ACCENT WAS AWESOME!! Why the hell did they put him in this ??
I'm from Ireland and live there, his accent was ridiculously bad.
I live in a town in Ireland with a lot of pykies and the accent is spot on! Great job he did!
Maybe by chance his accent is the same as the people in the town you live in, but he's on this list for a reason
Brad Pitt did a great job in Snatch with that accent
***** Agreed
absolutely right. he was amazing
***** then dont watch them
Kyle Dixon even if he didn't watch the video WatchMojo would STILL be incorrectly stating that the accent is a bad accent.
The whole "if you dont like it, dont watch/listen/pay attention to it" thing is so stupid and immature.
Vinnie Jones in Strength and Honour, now that's a good traveller accent.
"Put the bunny back in the box."
Jim James I laughed harder than I should've at the part!
I must admit, as a Southerner, it is VERY hard for those outside the South to pick up the nuances of our accent. The best at it are Brits, because much of our accent comes from their language and we've just softened it a bit
The commentator talked to much. We nearly didn't get to hear any accents.
Sean Connery doesn't do accents. Every character he plays has the 'Sean Connery' accent.
oh yes and also - STOP SAYING BRITISH ACCENT WHEN YOU MEAN ENGLISH.
there.
The traveller accent Pitt did in Snatch was actually pretty on point. His nor'n iron accent in The Devil's Own was a bit sketchy, though.
And Nicolas Cages dad's dad (Carmine Coppola ) was an Italian born composer who's son Francis directed the Godfather.
Brad Pitt was perfect in Snatch
yeah...they dont make movies like that anymore
they dont make movies like Guy Richie
EYO neither does guy richie after he married madonna.....
I really thought the Transylvania accents form Queen of the Damned would be on here, or at least Heath Ledger in Broke Back Mountain. It's almost impossible to understand him in that movie.
I agree with you on Queen of the Damned, but I think Heath Ledger spoke like he did in Brokeback Mountain on purpose as a way to show how awkward Ennis feels expressing himself
It was painful to listen to this because the narrator woman's accent is no better either.
That makes no sense ...
AdderallxAdmiral The broad who's narrating the video... Her accent is just as bad as every other accent in this video.
AdderallxAdmiral I never said she was mimicking an accent. I just think her actual accent is just has bad as these horribly put-on accents. "British accents" is a broad classification considering there are so, SO many different accents, dialects, etc. And just because you specifically don't hear a term often doesn't mean its hardly ever used. It may just be regional. Like *bloke*, *chav*, or *twat*.
+AdderallxAdmiral Which British accents are you talking about?
+Collin Willoughs That's beyond ridiculous!
In Costner's defense, he began filming Robin Hood directly after starring and directing himself in Dances With Wolves. The studio wouldn't give him time to learn a proper English accent, so thus we have his Californian portrayal in Prince of Thieves; which according to Alan Rickman, is closer to how people spoke in the 12th century anyways.
