    Pierce Brosnan had an absolutely terrible accent in 'Evelyn'

    In addition to the accent being laughable, he also uses the expression, as an Irish man in the 1890s, "lighten up" :rolleyes:

    Brad Pitt has to get a shout for The Devil's Own. Fúcking terrible it was.

    Watching this film now, his accent is so bad that the narrator say's he was Irish\Lithuanian.... I reckon that was a re-write after they heard him speak, its atrocious


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,724 ✭✭✭tallaghtmick


    Most irish accents in the movies are shocking


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 405 ✭✭doubleglaze


    The Dort accent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 526 ✭✭✭7Sins


    Wexford has a disgusting accent and in general piss poor ability to speak coherently, doesn't really matter anyway sure, down there in the arse of Ireland next to the Brits no one pays much attention to them :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 519 ✭✭✭AnneElizabeth

    Michael J. Fox and Lea (<insert-surname>) in Back to the Future 3, when they're in 1885 as Irish emigrants.

    "Ah, shuuure, we're the first McFlys in America, so we are".

    Jackie Healy Rae when he made a brief cameo in "The Dail"

    The Drogheda accent is dire. They don't pronounce the letter "R" at all. Its something like "Dwahedah".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,515 ✭✭✭✭admiralofthefleet


    the cork accent. the american accent put on by teenage girls is grating as well

    Very authentic Belfast accent there... not as bad as South Park's Bono accent though.

    They also pronounce Hugh as 'Q'

    Julia Roberts in Michael Collins. Scarlet for her.

    Alan Rickman did a spot-on impression of De Valera though.
