Default The worst movie accents you have ever heard

Matrix 2 - the guy with the pepe le pue accent was so bad I thought it was intentionally satirical at first

Steel Magnolias - my girlfriend at the time forced me to watch this when I should have been playing video games. Julia Roberts cannot do any type of southern accent ... period. Dolly Parton should have smacked her silly for that.

The Aviator - maybe this one shouldn't count, but Cate Blanchett's version of Kate Hepburn was surprisingly awful. A caracature, at best, from an actress I, honestly, respect.

Revolution - Al Pacino has a modern New York accent in the middle of the American Revolution

do y'all have any to add?

How 'bout Arnold Schwarzenegger (sp?) in... anything. This one's not as much of an actor/actress trying to do an accent and failing, as much as it's his accent completely overriding any other accent the characters are supposed to have. Now don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of Austria and Germany (been there 3 times), but that stereotypical accent has to go.

Copy and paste from another thread.

Not to be a pain, but just to contribute something, I'll list the best accent I've heard cos I don't know/can't remember any bad accents.

Peter Sellers being French as Inspector Clouseau in any Pink Panther movie...but then again, he was supposed to sound bad, hence the beauty.
