Aussie accent


I have to say that even tho Val Kilmers aussie accent isnt perfect he does a prett good job, well atleast better than most accents I've heard americans do.

It was very, very good in comparison to pretty much every other attempt I've heard.

No it wasn't.

The scene near the beginning of the movie where Templar is stealing the chip during Tretiak's speech is an Australian accent. And not a bad one either, considering many actors stray into overkill "shrimp on the barbie" territory.

His accent when disguised as Thomas Moore (in disguise while sketching the sculpture in Oxford) is a South African accent.

Does anyone know how good the South African accent was? I've only ever met four South Africans, and it sounded okay but what do I know, lol?

Why settle with words what you can settle with a flamethrower?

Yep, I've heard plenty and it is pretty good. It's slight though and depending where in SA you're from can depend on how strong it is. Don't even think about asking me what region of SA I think it's from... I'm not that good. ha ha ;o)

For once, maybe someone will call me 'Sir' without adding 'You're making a scene'...

If you mean "most Aussie accents Americans do", I'd agree with you.

It surprises me that they find it so hard to do an Aussie accent. I'm an Aussie actor myself, and I think they just don't get the vowel placement right.

I saw "Frost/Nixon" not so long ago, and that's got an absolutely woeful attempt at an Aussie accent very early in the movie. When I saw it at the flicks here, it stuck out so badly that the whole audience just burst out laughing.



You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.

Ive heard worse, but ive heard better...

however the dreadful south african accent he attempts as thomas moore is so bad when he said ''take you back to africa to see my house'' or whatever, i practically wet myself laughing...

Actually the South African accent was dead on. Almost perfect.
