interestingly Oliver Reed does a sheffield accent as Vulcan in The adventures of Baron Munchausen

Didn’t Piggy Sterland have to wear a United shirt. I bet he’s still wincing about that.

 

[ATL Recs]

Best of the lot was or pushing "Damned United" was Stoke City and "Marvellous" a great film and story

Forgot all about that, great film. I see it's on Prime, might re-watch that tonight

 

[HighfieldBlade]

I was on the Kop that day. At half-time, they were filming the penalty scene for WSC. As I recall, there were several takes of the penalty and on each take we were asked to shout and cheer when it went in. Dunno if they just dubbed it over in the end!

 

[I should coco]

It's taken me a long, long time to teach my wife how to say 'reyt laff' and how to say 'Shefyuldwensdeyzfukkditupagen!'

There ought to be a control desk at the station, where everyone coming to Town, had to say this, before being allowed in.

 

[Selly]

Pete Postelthwaite’s accent didn’t seem out of place even though he’s from Warrington area where they all sound like scousers.

That's because Pete Postelthwaite is one of the finest actors of his generation. RIP

 

[Houso]

Shame about the film, like.

Was originally on BBC2 but now available on Apple TV if you have that.

 

[eastsussexblade]

I met the producer of WSC - Jim Daley at a wedding a couple or so years after the film came out. He was there with his wife Melanie Hill and over the course of the weekend me and my then missus, spent most of the time in the bar with them. If that wasn't enough, once back in London a few days later, we went round to their house in Finchley for another session Top man Jim!

 

[Gimli]

Tony Currie’s cameo…

‘He’s fast but not much of a team player’

Top top acting.

 

[PaddysMad]

I was an extra in it me

Sheffield United​

When Saturday comes​

The choice of Hollywood​

Always wanted that on a Tee shirt​

 

[dexter101]

They also fail to clock that a northern Sheffield dialect is similar to a southern Sheffield dialect, but not the same.

Fascinated by this, could you let me know some examples of how they differ? I lived in Sheffield in late 2000s, but also find that generations accents are different as well (like everywhere in the country).

The southern sheffield accent can be found saying stuff like:

"Come on Yoonited"

whereas the northern one can be found saying:

"We tOok 3k tO QpR"

That makes sense, I just assumed that was the South Barnsley accent

 

[COME BACK CHED]

Good film , the fact the blades featured heavily in it made it even more enjoyable . pity about the non stop rain and the frenchmans antics ,even with ten men we played well. We have some right miserable people on here , i suppose they hated the United TV series too

 

[ChefYouKnighted1889]

When trying to take me off or do a Sheffield accent they always say ‘reet’ instead of ‘reyt’ and it does my head in as they’ve obviously not been listening.

I tell them to say the number eight and simply put an R in front, but it’s just too tricky for them. Professional actors should be able to get it you would think but it’s rare to see a good Sheffield accent from someone who isn’t from here.

It's reyt

 

[Gin&Juice]

Sad when our Russ died in the mine. Catalyst for a redemption arc.

Fucking absolutely astounded that Pete Postlethwaite did this and The Usual Suspects in the same year

 

[Large Mendonca]

Seen the film once, it was enough.

 

[Lens instep catch]

I was working in Dundee when the film hit the screens, I was working nights so went to watch it.
Went in the cinema and I was there with about 3 others and maybe a dog
I enjoyed it especially as I was away from home and was also at BDTBL when Sean was trying to score a penalty

 

[Varkanoid]

My memory of being on the Kop at halftime was that we all jumped up and cheered as each penalty was taken, but they were all misses. By the time he scored one, we had all lost interest. I assume creative editing was applied to the scene. I have never bothered watching the film…yet

I think we all remember this getting bored the 25th time he took the penalty.

I've got the film on Blueray it might be poor but its probably one of the "better" associated films with a football club. Must watch it again.

and we all know Sean Bean was also married to Melanie Hill too (but not at same time as Jim Daly before)

 

[Stanthemanfan]

Some of this film was filmed on the road I lived, pye bank road in pitsmoor( shock horror!)
Our little gang thought it was funny to try disrupting filming, needless to say the crew weren't happy so we ended up getting moved along

 

[ChefYouKnighted1889]

proper sheffield accent

 

[John Street West Terrace]

After deep analysis & evaluation… I’ve concluded after much debate ..What a fkg crock of shit that film was

 

[Rodley]

The only good part of WSC was that stripper with a Blades tattoo on her arse....

She’s now in the Senior Blades!

 

[BazWainwright]

Tony Currie’s cameo…

‘He’s fast but not much of a team player’

Top top acting.

It was indeed an Oscar-clip.

"The nominees for 1997 Best Supporting Actor Oscar are:

Cuba Gooding Junior - Jerry Maguire
Edward Norton - Primal Fear
Armin Mueller-Stahl - Shine
William H Macey - Fargo
James Woods - Ghosts of Mississippi
Tony, Tony Currie - When Satdi Comes, Thanose ..."

Clips follow. Massive applause for the King of the Shoreham Kop

"And the winner is ..."

fumbles with envelope

"TONY. TONY CURRIE - WHEN SATDI COMES, THANOSE!"

camera pans across audience. A vacant, velvet covered seat

"Um, Tony, Tony Currie can't be with us terneyt ... I mean tonight, but we go live via satellite to the Cremorne pub in London Road, Sheffield, where he has this message for us ..."

"Cheers, everyone ..."

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

I like to imagine the brother had a more prominent role in earlier drafts of the script but after the extras started laughing at the worst attempt at a Yorkshire accent ever committed to film they had no choice but to kill him off offscreen in a rewrite.

CAN'T BELEEEV AR JIMMEHHH'S GUNNA PLAY FER YOU-NAR-TID!
