I don't hate Spacey's accent in HoC like people in here seem to.

If anything, it's fake just like his character.

Cage in Con Air is WAY worse

I really don't have a clue why people hate it so much. It isn't exaggerated. I think it is a fine accent. The locale for the accent could be wrong but I just can't figure the hate for this one.

Oh.... Honorable Mention to Tara from true blood. People really hated that one and many people called it racist.

Jean Claude Van Damme as Chance Boudreaux in Hard Target.

Definitely one of the most awesomely bad movies of all time!

EDIT: I guess it's technically a cajun accent but you get what I'm saying

Dennis Quaid doing a New Orleans accent in The Big Easy was hilarious.

You are all wrong. Julie Benz in Boondock Saints II makes the movie unwatchable all by herself. Most mentioned didn't actually ruin the movies.

Finally! I was looking for this one. Crushes everything else. Not saying the other picks aren't horrible, but Benz is the standard bearer for all time.

I'd like to nominate CSI New Orleans. Not one particular person/character but the whole damned lot of 'em.

fricking this. Being from SC and knowing the dialect he should be aiming for makes it even worse. Hes not even close to getting it right.



I could be completely missing the mark here but I think that is the point. Frank Underwood is not a real person. He is completely made up concept. Everything about him is a achieve a goal and part of that persona is to be as Southern as southern is.
