And then Highlander, so it was no wonder he was a bit wary when it came to LOTR.
My shubmarine doeshn’t react well to bulletsh, Ryan.
You've really gotta admire his outright contempt at the thought of even attempting a Russian accent in that movie.
His character is actually Lithuanian, so he shouldn't have a Russian accent. Not that Scottish is accurate...
It was a thriller movie in the 90s for American audiences.
Whether he had contempt or not the accents did not matter. Just needed something to indicate "not American"
It’s honestly hilarious and one of the reasons I love that movie
“Some things in here don’t react well to bullets”
Sorry, I munged the quote a bit from memory 😅
But Highlander was awesome.
It won the Academy Award for best movie ever made.
