>Eddie Izzard noticed that in most Hollywood movies, that supposedly happen in another language (but all the characters still speak English), the villains will have a British accent. Darth Vader and his officers in Texas drawl - can't have that, can we? They must sound British or they aren't convincing.

When I was much, much, much younger, a couple of friends and I went to the show to catch a couple of middle of the night horror movies. The theatre was in a Chinese area. We got there early and caught part of a western that was still playing from the evening show. The movie was in English with Chinese subtitles. However, there was a scene where the Indian chief and a couple of his 'lieutenants' were atop a hill sitting on their horses. The chief pointed out toward the soldiers and said something in supposed Apache, or Arapaho, or Sioux or whatever, and a Chinese subtitle appeared at the bottom. I thought that was very unfair.
