10 Great Movies With ONE Terrible Element

10. Tarantino's Cameo - Django Unchained

Quentin Tarantino has of course appeared in many of his own movies, and while the majority of his performances are entertaining if not at least passable, there's one toe-curlingly bad exception.

Django Unchained is a remarkable piece of work and one of Tarantino's most confident filmmaking efforts - overconfident, even, given that the director gives himself a cameo he's so horribly ill-suited for.

Tarantino makes a cameo late in the movie as an Australian slave trader, with the director rocking perhaps the worst attempt at an Australian accent ever committed to film.

While you can argue that Tarantino wasn't really trying to be convincing and was just playing the cameo for a campy laugh, it's ultimately more of a cringe-worthy distraction than entertaining, especially coming as late in the movie as it does.

The only solace is that his character gets a pretty epic death - being blown to exclusive pulp when Django (Jamie Foxx) shoots him right in the dynamite.

All the same, it's a scene that aggressively obliterates the audience's immersion and rips them out of what they're watching, which thankfully isn't the case for most of Tarantino's other cameos.
