Line 160:
* Siegfried and Shtarker in the 2008 movie ''[[Get Smart (film)|Get Smart]]'' - in sharp contrast to the way the characters are portrayed in the series (Bernie Kopell, the original Siegfried, has a brief yet wonderful cameo in the film).
* Justified, sort of, in ''[[Toys]]'': Michael Gambon, as a crazy American general, has a British accent. He complains that because he spent his childhood at a British military school and ended up absorbing the accent there. Which is odd, because Gambon is quite capable of using an American accent when he wants to.
** [[Rule of Funny]]: A lot of his lines would simply not sound as hilarious in a generic American accent, plus the scene where he complains to his father about the accent hampering his career is fairly character-defining (and also hilarious).
* [[John Wayne]] [[What the Hell, Casting Agency?|as Genghis Khan in]] ''The Conqueror''.
