Sean Connery's accent in The Untouchables has been voted the worst of all time.

The Scottish actor's Irish-American voice topped a poll by an American ticket agency, according to The Sun.

Kevin Costner also appeared on the list for his English accent in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

Meanwhile, Tom Cruise's Irish speech in Far And Away also unimpressed viewers.
