It's pretty obvious that all of this actors lines are dubbed in at a later date. what's the reason behind this?? maybe should be in the trivia

Maybe he was a stunt man who didn't have the right voice for acting?

It was like he stepped out of a Kung-Fu movie. Thankfully he doesn't have many lines, because it was really distracting.

very suspicious.

Because the actor who played that part J.J. Makaro, is really a stuntman by trade and they didn't like his accent.

it's one of my favourite films of the 80s. i think this should be in the trivia. no idea what was so wrong with JJ's accent they had to dub it out. bit offensive?

Did his accent change over the years...I don't see anything wrong with his voice.

Wayne Enterprises buys and sells companies like Stark Industries

it's clearly not his voice. especially after seeing that youtube vid.

I just watched the movie the other day. I have never noticed that.
