Lance Fuller in She Creature Sometimes I just trail off and.... Good choice! I keep coming back to the older movies with non-American female leads who only got the role because they were Miss Universe contestants, but yeah, they should get some slack. I'm reminded of Ingrid Goude in Killer Shrews and Chase's French girlfriend in Giant Gila Monster. For the latter, I can't remember a single line of hers that I understood. To be fair to Gila Monster and Shrews, MST3K just obtained really bad copies of those films. I've seen Shrews on Google Video and was surprised I was able to understand every word. |

It makes me think of that odd infatuation that Hollywood used to have with buxom, thick-accented European starlets. Think Anita Ekberg or Elke Sommer or any of the Gabor sisters. |

...The part later in the film of him wandering around with the "western zombie music" playing is the worst... In the freakish coincidences department... when I first saw that episode and got to the scene with the "Western zombie music" playing, it was perhaps a split second before Servo's own riff that I instinctively started singing "Night Train To Mundo Fine". Oh, and btw -- not that it really matters, but do sequences with badly-recorded sound really count here, or are we strictly talking about actors with poor diction? Otherwise, the entire dialogue track of Monster A Go-Go would qualify here. Just wondering. |

I'd go for any time I voice came over the radio in a Bill Rebane movie. (Monster a Go-Go and Giant Spider Invasion)

Another example of poor sound tracks... the first General Hospital clip they did (jumps to the part I mean): youtu.be/fSmI5uCiy2Q?t=2m14s Although, the whole thing is very muffled and hard to understand really. |

Oh, holy jeez, how could I have possibly forgotten that climactic scene towards the end of The Beatniks, right before the alley fight behind the recording studio with Eddie and Moon? Pick it up at around 01:25:15...
...and take a good guess at just what in the Hell, Michigan Peter Breck is supposed to be saying there... "I'm gonna spread you..." ...whaa?

Not to mention his incomprehensible squealing when Eddie's got him up against the wall a little later. I've always wondered if Moon was supposed to be drunk or high in that scene. It would explain his spastic and incompetent fighting ability. "I hate you garbage can lid I hate you! *sobs*"

Eddie drops the garbage can lid, and Moon keeps on flailing away at it. WTFF?There is a good chance that Moon was either lushed or high -- or both -- in that scene, although you can't write off the fact that Moon was also just good old-fashioned psychotic. |

Wow, I'd almost forgotten about the 'strange foreign friend' in 'Mixed-Up Zombies.'
Tried watching that this weekend, and I definitely could not understand him 95% of the time. I swear, the audio in 'Manos The Hands of Fate' was Oscar-Worthy compared to 'Mixed-Up Zombies.'
and like Crow said, "What is with the constant dog barking?"

I got reminded of another example recently, although not from watching an MST3K movie but rather another movie with Clu Gulager (of San Francisco International). I'm not sure it quite counts. It's Gulager's distinctive, rather odd-sounding enunciation. He's not incomprehensible but he sounds a bit like he's forcing out his words between tightly clenched teeth.

^yeah, i have to agree with that. clu isn't exactly mumbling, but i have to really pay attention to catch what he is saying.
other than that, the little foreign dude from TISCWSLABMUZ. or noel from werewolf, when he is explaining what a skin walker is. i love mike's accompanying mumbling in the background.

Whoa, Nellie, that really is mangled. Servo pretty much nails it: the guards in this movie all sound like the grownups in a Peanuts special. |

Actually, I'm surprised I haven't seen The Paper Chase Guy from Warrior Of The Lost World mentioned here. He sounds as if he's phoning in his lines with big wads of cotton in his mouth.

No, I mentioned Robert Ginty already. See my initial post. (Though again, I must emphasize, the fact that I watched Warrior of The Lost World right before coming up with this poll topic is a complete and utter coincidence. :  |
