Great film, terrible accents.

They're not supposed to be Irish accents. They're Boston Irish and aren't that far from how many people in Boston speak.

That's a great film!! Wilem Defoe at his best:)

My vote goes to whoever was responsible for the voice of the Irish kid in the Simpsons movie. My god that was bad!!

Oh actually, has anyone watched 'Burn Notice'? Great show but the accent your one Fiona had in the first few episodes was horrendous. Luckily they've now pretty much dropped it.

Thank God she lost the accent

Yet? It's been one of my favourite films since I first watched it back in 2001.

The accents are great, because theyre not meant to be completely irish, more of a boston irish.

The film itself has some great quotes and scenes.

Colin Farrells brutal accent in "In Brugges" is laughable. In fact its probably the most laughable thing in the film.

Remember "The Callbox".......

PS I love you no contest... maybe the guy that played Darby in dary o gill and the little people.

Did anyone see the episode of Heroes that featured the Irish??????? :pac:

I have to say that Marlon Brando does a really good stab at a generic Irish accent in 'The Missouri Breaks'.

....then again, he was a genius.

Just watching Back To The Future III and, to be sure to be sure, the accents of the McFly clan back in the 1800s are ridiculous.

José Alaninho

Not really a movie, but cringeworthy nonetheless. Really captures the complexities of the Troubles aswell. :rolleyes:

Pierce Brosnan is a paradox, an Irish actor who has the worst Irish accent ever!!!

lol a bit like joey in friends.......'they said that they've never seen an italian actor with a worse italian accent!'

Has to be the Iroish accent by the nut-case Cruise in "Far And Away"
(come to think of it, the title also describes the location of his faculties!)

"Say ye like me hat shannin".... FAIL!

Has there ever been any good Irish accent done by a Hollywood actor?

Yer one in About Adam, Kate Hudson. She did a good job. I mean... I never watched that movie.

Cred--;

Snake Plisken

Brad Pitt in Snatch (The Movie not Angelina's!) spot on Traveller accent I mean really spot on! British press were slagging it off but deffo No 1

EamonnKeane

Lisa's boyfriend in the Simpsons Movie: he claimed to have just arrived from Ireland ... in a time machine from 1874 maybe.

"WHERE'S ME DAAAUUGHTAARR"


Pierce Brosnan does a terrible accent, stick to pretending to be English mate

razorblunt

Saw Open Range the other night, thought Michael Gambon did an excellent Irish accent, thought Paul Newman did a good version in Road to Perdition.

komodosp

Seamus and Maggie McFly ("And doant yeh bay forgettin' de missus") are pretty bad alright but BTTF is a sort of comedy so you can allow it...

Also maybe people talked like that in 1885!

Sean Connery in Darby O'Gill and the little people. That was a real didly eye film anyway but his accent was terrible

Was there ever a "top of the morning" irish accent. 100 years ago, our accent wasn't the same - maybe he was accurate. Is there any recordings of normal Irish people speaking 100 years ago?

Even radio broadcasts from 50 years ago, people have much different accents than what their accent is today - same applies to English and American accents as well.

copeyhagen

gangs of new york, leo di caprio.

wasnt too bad till he narrated at the very end.

sounded like a pure pikey

Cant believe that was only mentioned now... That should have been EVERYONES first example that comes to mind! Even if you havent seen the filum:p

Mr. Cian

That irish guy in harry potter, not sure which harry potter filum but he's soooo annoying! Wrecks my head. oh and any time irish people are mentioned in 'The Simpsons' :mad:

Tea-a-Maria

I actually didn't think Richard Gere's accent was half bad...

Tom Cruise immediately springs to mind. There was also an episode of Murder she Wrote set in Ireland which was painful to watch.I really want to watch this episode of Heroes after hearing so much about it here!
