DRACULA: Keanu Reeves and his AWFUL British accent

[chandlercanfly]

I cannot stop watching. I... cannot. 10 times and I laugh harder with each viewing.

[danning1]

(laughs) After watching this scene I really want to go to Cahfax Aabeyh now! Sounds like a fun place.

[hoopswill2]

AHAHAHA

[Arckitekt]

I bought him there to corfucks abbeh- classic

[RealFngDeal]

and this guy has made millions by "acting"..... -_-... sigh

[squamish4244]

Cahfax Abbeh.

[plugindave]

I literally started watching this for the first time about 7 minutes ago, and after enjoying The opening, i instantly had to switch the damn thing off the second Keanu opened his damn mouth...

It's times like these you have to weigh up how much you enjoy Gary Oldman versus how much Keanu's accent makes you cringe

[robinbrum]

Well I am English and I speak just like that and my chimney sweep sounds just like Bert in Mary Poppins.

I also look just like Keanu Reeves.

[TheSim1derful]

"To Cawfax Abb-eh"

[Fourzerotw0]

woah, I'm keanu

[disengagejam]

I KNOW KUNG-FU !!!!! LOL

[camerondiaztwin]

I've never understood the need to be so nasty by posting a clip making fun of someone else.  Deatheatre needs a life.

[RSixBoy]

@camerondiaztwin Get a sense of humor and get off keanu's nuts.

[camerondiaztwin]

@RSixBoy I'm not on his nuts and there's nothing remotely funny about this.

You're just a loser, apparently.

[AlthoughNotAFollower]

@camerondiaztwin Shut up, faggot.

[camerondiaztwin]

@AlthoughNotAFollower I happen to be female, which one could deduce from my username if one possessed intelligence or a brain.

Clearly you have neither.

[AlthoughNotAFollower]

@camerondiaztwin Woah, what? Sorry. I moved on and forgot about this anyways.

Yeah, I have a brain. One quite functional might I add. It would be wise to look up statistical information about the name Cameron and notice how it is generally unisex and that many males bear the name.

However, your gender is irrelevant to my comment. You ARE a faggot. Female/male has nothing to do with it whatsoever.

[camerondiaztwin]

@AlthoughNotAFollower Functional? Maybe. Intelligent? Hardly.  Cameron Diaz happens to be female, which you would know if you weren't a flaming imbecile. The faggot here is you.

[AlthoughNotAFollower]

@camerondiaztwin Lol. You're not a very good troll, hope you understand that. Since you want to gauge my intelligence it's ironic that I must explain this to you.

You see, you're not Cameron Diaz. So, you're not inherently male/female until I knew for sure you were. Pretty simple.

You remain a faggot.

[shoux]

@AlthoughNotAFollower i went to find the beginning of this flame war.. facepalmed after reading camerondiaztwin's first comment..

[AlthoughNotAFollower]

@shoux Yup.

[jigglefloyd]

@AlthoughNotAFollower Just look at the homepage of camerondiaztwin and look at her comments on numerous youtube videos. She flames and trolls everyone who doesn't agree with her point of view, even when it comes to completely subjective things like taste in music, etc (she happens to love the BeeGees). Her comments on this channel and everyone else on youtube clearly show that she has very low self-confidence and self-worth. Hopefully she'll reflect and improve her ways.

[AlthoughNotAFollower]

@jigglefloyd Yeah, I'm aware dude.

Besides, I don't need other people to qualify something as being funny for me.

[apincle]

We're going to like, totally slay Dracula duuuuuude.....

[jonoessex]

Did keanu practice his english accent by watching endless episodes of withnail and I?

[danning1]

@jonoessex (laughs) Either that or reruns of "Mr. Belvedere."

[Django5198]

It's as if Richard E Grant is controlling him

[MrBurgundy76]

winona ryders face at the end= "NEGRO PLEASE"

[backto1960]

@MrBurgundy7 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[StasisClungeFlux]

I know where they sleep - I'm not telling.

[DarthDestro84]

Huh. I didn't know you could ask for a carfax history report on women too.

[umacenuff]

I can't even believe he's american in half of his movies



[logjammin1987]

ahh yes, keanu reeves.........a real actor's actor hahaha

[Seniorchubakens]

Show me the Carfax

[EpicBeard815]

cahfax abeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[filmflim]

Keanu is a trainwreck in this movie.

[DeathtoRaiden1]

I loled so much because of this scene. It's established that his accent is terrible early on in the movie but this scene just blew my mind. Anthony Hopkins should have just punched him in the face right then and there.

[1993MovieMan]

@DeathtoRaiden1 Um , Keanu`s of English Descent on his Mom`s Side and can do A PERFECT British Accent in Real Life ! Francis Ford Coppola ENCOURAGES his Actors to ham it up , which LIKELY threw off Keanu`s Accent in The Film ! What The Hell does Sir Anthony ( A Welshman ) care if somebody mucks up The English Accent ESPECIALLY when his Dutch Accent in The Same Film IS Hilariously Stereotypical !

[DeathtoRaiden1]

@1993MovieMan

You are seriously defending his accent in this movie? Like seriously?

[1993MovieMan]

@DeathtoRaiden1 No , I`m defending Keanu`s Credibility as An Actor ! Francis Ford Coppola DOES encourage his Actors to ham it up while discouraging Adlibbing and that likely threw off Keanu`s Accent in The Film ! The ONLY Decent Accents in The Film were Renfield , Holmwood and Dracula himself ! Sir Anthony`s Dutch Accent , Mina and Lucy`s Brit Accents and Quincy Morris` Texan Accent were all terribly Stereotypical !

[apincle]

@1993MovieMan Nothing, but nothing beats tom cruise's welsh/indian/dutch/paki/scotti­sh/south african accent in far and away.

[danning1]

@apincle (laughs) I remember that movie, and you're right. Cruise couldn't decide which one sounded the best so he tried them all!!! :-D

[PalladiumTV]

@apincle yes I concur 

[thybuilder]

Surfer Brit !

[danning1]

(sarcasm alert) Oh, give the guy a break. Maybe Jonathan Harker lived for a few years in California and Reeves brilliantly accounted for that in his interpretation. Hence the occasional surfer-voice inflection.

[squamish4244]

@danning1 Lol best explanation ever. "I totally know where the bastahd sleeps, dude!"

[MrMasoodrodman1]

Winona and reeves are two of the worst ever

[ChrisFromNY1]

LOL! Look at Winona Ryders face at the end. lol

[ZitzBracket]

The looks on Winona Ryder's face are priceless. She's like, "Oh god, is THAT how you're going to talk? ... We're not going to use this take, are we?"

[rabbit4400]

HAHAHA!!!! frickin' funny! xD

[biggusdickus1994]

his mother is english aswell wtf

[StretchDouche]

I know this might sound weird. But for characters who are British, Why not get actual british actors instead of americans putting on cockney accents?

[1993MovieMan]

@StretchDouche Keanu`s NOT American , he`s Canadian of Native Hawaiian , Chinese , Portugese , Irish and British Descent who moved to L.A to become An Actor in The `80s. and was born in Beirut , Lebanon , not unlike A Friend of mine !

[StretchDouche]

@1993MovieMan

Well regardless, someone who isn't british but puts on the cockney accent from mary poppins.

[napleee]

@tH3sUbL1m1nALn33d Natalie Portman ?

[tH3sUbL1m1nALn33d]

@napleee oh sorry, Winona ryder

[jasperjamito]

I half expected a "DUUUUUUDE" in there.

[superstarwarsrocks]

Hii know wheea the boston sleepz.

[Vader3123]

Makes us Hawaiians look bad.

[Ubermann88HH]

A know weah da bastaad sleeeps, I brought hem thear, ta cafax abaee

[louisNero666]

i don't care lol thats just not keanu reeves type of character then but he is a good actor in many other films

[MrBurgundy76]

you should let me go now.

[FuchsiasAttic1847]

"Theeyahh"

I love how shaky he is.



[coreyH1313]

lol Ryder is thinking WTF is this

[NataliexK]

OMG, what the hell you guys? Okay, yes it was a crap accent. But, do you think you could calm the fuck down? Geez. IT'S ONLY A MOVIE. Leave Keanu alone.

[BananaSandwich1]

is this a comedy?

[Wiklah]

The only dislike was keanu reeves

[the7valleys]

A Greek goatherd could do a better British accent, actually a Greek goat probably could as well....

[dinkthroughball]

cawfax abbehhhhhh lol

[mikethe4th]

oh my god why would you put him in that role lol

[mahdogzbite]

They shoulda slipped in the word "dude" in there.

[Niobesnuppa]

LMAO! xD Even I can speak with a better English accent than that, and English isn't even my native language! Dear god...

[desotowright]

Press 2 for Keanu's response.

[diegofan80]

That movie would be a masterpiece if it wasn't for stupid Keanu and his god-awful accting

[persianprincess96]

I wish there was a clip somewhere of him saying, "Come. Let us to the BANQUET," in Much Ado About Nothing...

Alas...

[DemonSmiter16]

Oh Keanu. No. Just....No.

That's the accent proper British people use when we mock the ultra posh.

[JVbin]

If you let this video load, press play & keep pressing 1, you'll get a very camp Keanu.

"I know! I know! I know! I know! I know! I know! I know!"

[thefoosballwizard]

He totally knows he couldn't do that accent for shit too. xD

[uminatsuko]

Well, no surprise there. XD Robert Downey Jr, Johnny Depp and Anne Hathaway have too attempted and failed to do British accent.

[Irulan800]

@uminatsuko I thought Robert Downey Jr's English accent was pretty good in Sherlock Holmes.

[jagpro91]

@Irulan800 That's because he's Australian. He just does a really really good American accent.

[steves2ndaccount]

@jagpro91 RDJ is Australian? Hahaha, he's American.

[squamish4244]

@steves2ndaccount They're probably confused because he played an Australian playing a white American playing a black American in Tropic Thunder, lol.

[1993MovieMan]

@squamish4244 Robert Downey Jr. was born in NYC , he`s of Russian-Jewish descent on his Father`s side . He`s also of German and Scotch-Irish descent . He now lives in L.A. County and has been living there since he moved out of his Father`s house , hence why though he had a thick New York Accent as a child it`s virtually disappeared

[squamish4244]

@1993MovieMan Did he go to Cahfax Abbeh?

[Mrster]

Even Winona broke character at the shite accent.

[frannehxpoopz]

i can't stop watching it it just gives me easy laughs! lmfao

[shadowwolfmoon88]

Ok jus for clarification...hes supposed to be doing an english accent?

hold on .. i'l stop laughting .. soon .. maybe

[92af]

I think that Hugh Grant would have been much better as Jonathan Haker than Keanu Reeves was

[Mazmorrero2]

Keanu Reeves and his awful wig.

[Barqu3ntine]

I love the look on Winona Ryder's face at the end.

[alexandradeufemia]

People either love him or hate him. Either way, he does draw alot of attention. He must have something going on because people can't seem to shut up about him. I find it all very entertaining.

[Mathiastro]

The role of Jonathan Harker seems to attract bad actors, see David Manners in the 1931 Dracula. I think even Keanu trumps that performance.

[pipercoventry]

Now come on you guys. He's been really good in other movies. I can't imagine anyone else as Constantine or Ted Logan or Neo. He may not be the greatest actor but he makes for a great movie star. He tries, he works his ass off and he's just fun to watch. Deal with it. Seriously, that accent was pretty painful.

[cha5]

@pipercoventry I can easily imagine several others as far as John Constantine goes, say Daniel Craig, Gordon Ramsay, Reeves may try but he's still a stonefaced mediocre actor who hasn't done anything interesting since the first Matrix film, and I think him playing a 46 year old Kaneda in the live action Akira film is going to be a disaster.

[lozoft9]

@cha5 Don't forget, he also wants to play Spike from Cowboy Bebop. The Anime-pocalypse is upon us!

[TheSpiritOfTheTimes]

Another piece of brilliant acting by the talented Mr. Reeves.

[Vforviolence]

thank god i`ve only seen this movie in spanish to spare myself from hearing this fail but funny anyways

[11strelokfan1000]

Hilariously bad!

[greenpenguino]

The horror!!! The HORROR!!!!!!!

[Leatherbubba]

One!  One mediocre performance! AH AH AH!

[Infinity870]

are you kidding keanu??? geeeeeeeee

[Looneyboyo]

I love the look Winona Ryder gives him after 'sleeps', it's like 'dude, what the HELL kind of an accent do you call that?'

[brixton92]

I wanna make this my ringtone.

[jarvisel]

Who the hell is Car Facts Abbie? Some Geico broad?

[EpicBeard815]

Byuudapest

[Leatherbubba]

Don't hurt yourself trying to emote,Ted.

[hudson0815]

The fuck was that ? English ?

[unicornburger]

Epic side-eye from Winona in the last frame.

[Toxishimmycity]

Marvelous accent, Keanu.

Bravo, bravo.

[bowarrful]

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!1

[chepchelfan]

Roflmfao

[thedarknight339]

trying to sound terribly posh and i mean TERRIBLY!

[funchingo]

It's so funny. It's as if Wynnona is reacting to his accent rather than acting in the scene. She seems so embarrassed.

[TheWishfulDreamer]

@funchingo I noticed this, too. It looks like she's thinking "Oh, Lord, why does he even try?!"

[Neo5941]

I know wheh the bastaahd sleeps... I broght em there, *gulp* tah cahfax abeeehhhhh.

[frannehxpoopz]

@Neo5941 LOLAGE laughing fit reading this!!

[HRVDNT]

Cahfax Abbeah.

[MorbidBliss22]

I had to rewind this SO many times when I rented the VHS back in the day....

[YouCantDeleteDenzelL]

@MorbidBliss22 I own this movie on Blu-ray and always put this on a loop. Makes for good laughs :D

[Vforviolence]

holy mother of fuck i nearly died laughing at this

[YouCantDeleteDenzelL]

I know WHEAH the bostad sleeps! I took im down theah...

...to Cawfox Abbeeehhhhh

[sami2503]

Aabbbbbeehhhhhhhhhh

[balrog13571]

Seriously would it really have been that hard to find an ACTUAL English actor for this role? I mean they hired some, but hiring Keanu Reeves for a role as deep as Harker is just laughable and embarrasing to ENgland and America. The movie itself isn't that bad, but I'm suprised Reeves wasn't chased by an angry English mob for that accent and line delivery.

[wesker100000000]

This is most hainous

[LastSunrise1981]

Keanu is actually a very good actor. Watch The Gift, The Watcher, Hardball, Sweet November, and The Lake House. The man can act and his performance in The Gift scared me.

He has admitted himself numerous times that he sucked in Dracula.

[DeliriumVeil]

This scene would have been so much better if he stabbed Mina in the head with the fork then shoots himself.

What a f***ing TERRIBLE accent!!

[swiftjt]

Another reason why Keanu Reeves sucks. I mean how the hell did he become a hollywood actor in the first place.

[BjGard]

@swiftjt The same reason Justin Timberlake sells millions of albums.. IDIOTS Watch and or listen to it

[EvilgidgitReturns]

Geez, no wonder Neo killed himself.

[rehtep69]

Woah!
