Marvel's Iron Fist: 30 WTF Moments In Netflix's First Failure

13. Zhou Cheng's Accent

Nobody is going to sit here and try and devalue the exceptional Drunken Master sequence starring Lewis Tan as Zhou Cheng too much (even if it did slightly reduce the character billed as He Who Kills The Iron Fist into something a tiny bit silly), but there's also no avoiding how awful his accent is.

Or more appropriately how awful his accents ARE.

He starts of sort of Australian, then takes in both Russell Brand and Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow (clearly working on Pirates Of The Caribbean left an impression) before he settles on a sort of mangled Manchunian (where he was born). It's the only bad part of that sequence, but it's horribly distracting.
