* [[Keanu Reeves]] gave a mediocre English accent (with some passable moments) for the first half of or so of ''[[Bram Stoker's Dracula]]'', but by the end of it the poor fellow seems to have forgotten that Jonathan Harker was ''not'' raised in Canada...
** Same goes for ''[[The Devil's Advocate]]'': he seemingly arbitrarily alternates between his natural accent and a Southern-sounding accent (the latter being more appropriate for his character). As with ''[[Bram Stoker's Dracula|Bram Stokers Dracula]]'', he basically abandons the second accent about halfway through.
* [[Orson Welles]] playing an Irishman in ''[[The Lady
* In the (sadly rather shithouse) Australian slasher film ''[[Nightmares]]'' from 1980, the central character's accent swings back and forth wildly between something resembling an Australian accent and something resembling an American accent. She was an American trying to sound Aussie, but her accent lapsed so regularly that it really was a 50/50 chance guessing which was the real one.
