A drawling texan as a bad guy would just get laughed at.
havent you seen the "fifth element"?
He was british. Fake accent, AND he was a comically bad villain.

Yes this is somewhat true but Clive Owen usually plays the good guy and so does Patrick Stewart, not to mention Roger Moore and Sean Connery, and Im not talking about thier bond movies. There are many others too.

Yep. Shoot 'Em Up. Paul Giamatti was the bad guy and Clive Owen (one of my favorite actors) was the good guy. Children of Men as well.

Oh my god, some of the accents in that film were shocking.  The leader of 'the firm', who is actually English in real life, pulled off the worst representation of a London accent I have ever heard.  It was like a fucked up cross between Australian / South African / English.

After I heard that I couldn't take the film seriously.
Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

I just read that movies aren't real... They get a bunch of actors and they pretend to be people in various roles... And after the movie is filmed the actors go back to being themselves... lol

The whole James Bond series is set in Britian.  At least that's where the "home office" is.  So . . . fail.

what about "Braveheart"
Well that film was full of shit. Great to watch but about as historically accurate as U571. William Wallace was a sheep rustler, could'nt speak french and was about 7ft bloody tall.

I believe all of this "english = bad guy" dates back to the Red Coats

(think Mel Gibson in Patriot)

As an Englishman born and bred I have to say that I'm quite fond of the American tendency to cast my countrymen as the villain of the piece. He might always fall foul of the hero and/or his own devious plots at the end of the film, but he always gets the best lines and brings an impeccable style to the dance that you just can't get with a US accent. Alan Rickman, Charles Dance, Jeremy Irons and many others always steal the scene away from the likes of Kevin Costner, Bruce Willis and Tom Hanks every time.
