Please elaborate. Totally drawing a blank
When she says "The more you tighten your grip, Tarken, the more star systems will slip though your fingers," she says it with a British accent. Many poeple have tried to cite it as some kind of inconsistency, but in fact, she's just mocking Tarken, and really, Peter Cushing and his impeccable British accent.

Tom Wilkinson as a British sounding Friedrich Fromme in Valkyrie was pretty bad

I am going to go ahead and say Channing Tatum as Gambit. Look, I know the movie hasn't come out yet... But that's going to suck.

I had to turn it off halfway through due to Natalie Portman's painfully terrible fake British accent.


I've watched V about 200 times and have not noticed this one time.

This, although the movie itself sucked, so can't blame the accent for ruining it.

Brad Pitt in "The Devil's Own" was pretty bad, too.

I've actually never heard that before. That is one of the worst things I've ever seen in film. How did they let that happen?

Not a movie, but Dennis Hopper's accent in 24.



Worst accent ever imo

At least with Quaid in the Big Easy it sounds like he's actually trying and prepared, despite sounding like a complete cheesedick.

Hopper sounds like a total idiot and I doubt he did any research for an accent. He sounded like he was recovering from a stroke.

cheesedick>idiot

I see a lot of Dennis Quaid in The Big Easy being posted and I agree but do yourself a favor and check out his accent and entire acting job in Great Balls of Fire it is so fricking horrible and unintentionally funny it's great.

He's already played a New Orleanian in 2 movies, so I'll be curious to see how he does. However, the last time he had an accent:

Seems like he always plays the same character.
