9 Foreign Actors Who Do the Worst American Accents
FilmDistrict
People are always complaining about how much Americans suck at doing accents, whether it's Kevin Costner as "Robin Hood" or Keanu Reeves seemingly coming off a heroin addiction in "Bram Stoker's Dracula." And we do suck sometimes, yes.
However, we want to at least even the playing field a little by pointing out some bafflingly bad American accents perpetrated by thesps from overseas. Europe and Australia may have the best acting academies and such, but not every graduate is as versatile as they should be, starting with a certain Gerard Butler from this past weekend's "Olympus Has Fallen."

Girls Impersonate Arnold Schwarzenegger And It Is Won-duh-ful
"Get to da chopp-ah!"
"It's not a tum-ah!"
"I'll be bah-ck."
Is there an actor's voice any more distinguishable than Arnold Schwarzenegger? The iron-pumping, butt-grabbing (allegedly!) "Terminator" has essentially eclipsed all other famous Austrians (sorry, Heinz Weixelbraun, but it's true!) with his unabashed devotion or uncanny disinclination to shake his heavy native accent. Although "I'll be back" might be his most iconic sound bite, the guy has given us a slew of phrases to impersonate. And to take it one step further, the only thing funnier than someone trying to do an Arnold impression is when that someone is a lady. The roided-up renditions juxtapose to hilarious result when spoekn by women.
YouTube channel Fat Awesome has asked everyday ladies to impersonate Ah-nold, and the results are mixed, to say the least. But, nevertheless, it sure is fun to watch. Just don't let Schwarzenegger anywhere near them (he's got a certain reputation for being, er, "grabby").

He'll Be Back: Schwarzenegger Returns to 'Terminator' Series
MGM
It feels like ages ago that Arnold Schwarzenegger made his most famous promise (no, not the one to Maria Shriver) when he declared, "I'll be back." Well, it turns out he might just be a man of his word after all—at least when it comes to his career. The actor-turned-politician-turned-actor is, indeed, coming back… to his most famous role, that is.
During a press conference in London for "The Last Stand," Schwarzenegger revealed that he will appear in the next "Terminator" film, which is currently being developed by producer David Ellison, Bleeding Cool reports. Get More »

When Fandom Goes Wrong: High School Principal Suspended Over 'Terminator' Parody
Warner Bros.
It's cool being a hardcore fan of something — "Star Wars," Robert Downey Jr., Gerard Butler romcoms (okay, just kidding, nobody is a fan of those) — but fandom can have its downsides. Many fans, for instance, sometimes have a hard time objectively seeing the positives and negatives of the thing they love so much.
Case in point: A Massachusetts high school principal has just been suspended for two days after introducing himself to his new student body by means of a really bizarre "Terminator" parody. Get More »

5 Other Random Folks Who Could’ve Co-Starred with Arnold in 'The Last Stand'
Lionsgate
We guess it's swell and all that Johnny Knoxville is starring in "The Last Stand" (especially since he seems to be playing the same character in a movie that also has the same plot as "Walking Tall"), but we can't help but wonder what it would be like if someone else had been chosen to "Stand" alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger for his big comeback movie. (And doesn't J-Knox look a little Photoshopped there, anyway?)
Anyhow, imagine the verbal quips Arnold could've shared with the ever-quotable Raymond Babbitt (aka "Rain Man") or the feats of derring-do he could've accomplished with Johnny Five as his back-up. And Danny DeVito? Please, it would be the magic of "Twins" all over again (rather than the dark sorcery of "Junior," of course).
Dream with us below, before harsh reality takes its toll when "The Last Stand" opens on Jan. 18.
