Besides "all of them", which movie is made immediately better if every character is conspicuously Australian?

Crocodile Dundee

It's suddenly a movie about a weirdly elitist Australian talking down to a bunch of Australian expats.

In a movie where the antagonist tries and fails to hunt down and kill a flightless bird? I could see it.

Superman might be cool if only because it'd finally be something "different" but not "edgier".

Like, Ma and Pa Kent still keep their origin but their son just inexplicably has an Australian accent? Maybe that's how they all sound on Krypton

The King's Speech.

Although the Yes movie would be good too, just so it could be renamed "Yeah Nah Yeah".

Wasn't this almost a thing? Didn't Mike Myers record almost all his lines with an Aussie accent before the last minute change? Or am I misremembering?

My answer for these kinds of questions is honestly always just the last movie I saw, because that's always the only movie I can remember.
Well, I watched The Babadook last night and that one would be really funny if everyone were Austraian

I downvoted them because they used the americanised version, instead of the correct version that's called Philosopher's Stone.

I won't be party to allowing those yanks to rewrite history anymore. IT'S UNCONSCIONABLE! IT'S IMMORAL. IT SMELLS LIKE STINKY CHEESE!!!

I'm not sure if that movie needs another layer of weird.

I think it was a Canadian accent originally, which I assume is just his normal accent.
