      The greatest casting ever made can never be replicated.

        Worse: Mickey Rooney as a Japanese man in Breakfast at Tiffany’s

        As bad: John Wayne as Genghis Khan in The Conqueror

          Oh those are definitely worse.

          But Connery, playing an Egyptian pretending to be a Spaniard while also being the only one with a recognizeable Scottish accent amidst a an entire cast of non-Scottish people playing Scots? That was something special.

            Oh I agree. Fun movie and character though.

            No worse than a Russian submarine captain with a Scottish accent though. 🤣
