"Sean Connery’s accent in Red Tide (the film)"
my god, how painful was that?
huh huh, moosk
Back when I was a kid, if we expressed unhappiness with something my mom used to say "well, as they say in Russia - tough kashitski"
Poor Misha!
I bet they were responsible for those matryoshka nesting dolls, and those stupid fur hats!
Come on people, they did give us Vodka - Where's the love!?
The thing you have to love about Sean Connery is that he doesn't even TRY to learn a different dialect - if he's playing a Russian, he has a Scottish accent. If he's playing an Egyptian, he has a Scottish accent.
It's awesome!
Yakov Smirnov?
