napoli accent?
is it different than usual Italian?
Yes, like all dialects, it has a distinct flavor, though it is still very much Italian.
shareThe Italian in this movie is very hard to follow. The only person in the movie I could really understand was the Chinese dude because he spoke standard Italian. My Italian isn't great, but usually with an Italian movie I can follow without subtitles. This one I could not. Though the dialect was cool. It added to the grittiness of this movie, I thought.
sharesame here, I could hardly understand any of them, never knew Neapolitan was so different to Standard ItalianWhen there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...
In the movie most characters speeak Napolitan, of which the main characteristic is that words are often pronounced without word endings (aka they are shortened). It's true that the Chinese guy and the toxic waste dealer were the only two who spoke standard Italian.

Joemoe66: Neapolitan is NOT standard Italian with dropped word endings, you're not even close. It's the old language of that region, with its own vocabulary and grammar. For the Italian release of "Gomorra/h" most of the dialogue required subtitles in standard Italian.
