At least in this movie.
When people mention embarrasing performances they always mention Keanu Reeves as Jonathon Harker.
However this has to be up there for one of those completely overracted and seriously cheesy roles EVER!
I know Rod Steiger is a golden oldie so folks don't like to hear any criticism of him but jeez! He was cräp.
How about that fake accent. I could have done better. But nice attempt anyways.
shareHe did a decent impression of drunk Tony Montana.
:looking up to God:
"YOU BASTARDO!!!"
my fav scene in the movie
-You just can't go around killing people!
-Why?
It was the same accent he used in Duck You Sucker, which was made well before the Tony Montana character existed.
In Duck, You Sucker, the funniet thing Steiger said to a wimpy man after the train was held up was "Can chu make a babies"? Effin hilarious!
" I don't agree, but I do understand" - Chris Rock
It definitely reminded me of Pacino's horrid accent in Scarface.
shareWatch In the heat of the night to see how perfectly he can perform if he wants.

Yes, he was great in that. The scene at the end where he is walking in the train station with Sidney Poitier is very well done.
shareHe was horrible in this and The Amityville Horror but not much else.
I'm happiest...in the saddle.
bad impersonation of Tony Montana IMO.
"Because of my big legs and my karate, I can do the splits......Noo...Prroblemm"
He was undoubtedly awful in this, the only half decent bit of acting he did was when he did that sleazy finger lick thing which looked like it was improvised. That was cringeworthy in a good way, as opposed to his work in the rest of the film.
"I told you we'd play later, you little bitch."
It was cool to see him in a role like that. Wasn't perfect but it was fun to see him like that.
