'Highlander' is a Scottish-themed movie about highland clans. And they cast Seán Connery in it AS A SPANIARD

Was Optimus Prime busy with a different project at the time?

Well it just wouldn't be the same if a guy wearing a tux came up to a woman and said "Ello' Gov'nah! Name is Bond. James Bond, it surely is!"

Everyone in the comments is getting so bent out of shape over "They cast THIS guy, to play THIS role, but he's clearly not that thing!"

But nobody is bringing up the fact that for the past 10 years they've cast Jimmy Fallon as a comedian.....

I've got some nostalgia for the movie since it's where my name came from but yeah, it's definitely shows the ahhh.... sensitivity of the time.

Didn't he already do that in Highlander? Although TBF it wasn't pretty.

"I'm not Spanish, I'm Egyptian..."

It's annoying how people don't understand he's not a Spaniard.

I'm not sure I follow? His character is Egyptian, he was immortal. Though I take OP's point, he couldn't really be Scottish since he had been alive long before Scotland existed, possibly before the Picts even.

He stole it from Highlander!

Is there any movie where Sean Connery plays a Scotsman?

It's as if any play is for a given audience, and we have to bridge the gap with our own imagination. Crazy, right?

Mind, I'm not criticizing your point, I agree with it, Hollywood has never been great with accents, it just has to be "good enough", like watching a stage play and the props have to be "good enough".

Paul Mooney would like a word.

Though I take OP's point

Do you though?

[email protected]

funny joke but also yeah valid point. its acting. people are playing pretend.

I first watched this as an adult in the 2010s, made a reddit thread about how it kinda sucks, and I guess it hit google cause I'd get new messages every few months on that thread

The Longest Day, IIRC, but it's a small part.
