irishmile Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Well during the golden age of piracy there was a huge amount of Spanish control in the area.. Hence all the evil Spanish in all those 30's and 50's era pirate movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy.brush Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Maybe that is the origin of the evil moustache-twirling big bad boss guy cliche? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 There was is also a TON of French influence in the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueZTone Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 there were heavy Spanish (Puerto Rico, Trinidad, Rio de la Hacha), French (Martinique, Montserrat, Guadaloupe), English (Port Royale, St. Kitts, Barbados) and Dutch (Curacao, St.Martin, St. Eustatius) influences.. Largo LaGrande would best fit with Spanish yeah! (French would be possible La Grande being french as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Well, apparently Largo is a Spanish name, so yeah. Appropriate name, by the way, seeing how Largo is so incredibly tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward van Helgen Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Well, apparently Largo is a Spanish name, so yeah. Appropriate name, by the way, seeing how Largo is so incredibly tall. I think a french accent would be more appropriate, because his family name is french. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 What about Largo's dad's name, Marco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward van Helgen Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 What about Largo's dad's name, Marco? Hmm, true. Maybe a spanish or italian accent would be better. I'd choose for italian then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 La Grand is also acceptable Spanish! We should ask someone, like Purcell or Grossman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s-island Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 That's the joke! LaGrande implies he's a woman. If he was a man, it should have been ElGrande. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Check this out. Wikipedia is ALWAYS right. English has most with 66, French next with 31, third come the Dutch with 23 Irish only have four and Spanish five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickelstein Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I always thought the implication was cross-dresser, not "he's a woman!". I always wondered why he wore a bra. I thought it was because he was so fat that he had tits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the thought that he might actually be a woman never crossed my mind either. He's a tranny — the voodoo lady sorted him out. Oh, does she do that? I'm uh... I'm asking for a friend.

scabb Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I've always (ALWAYS) imagined Stan as sounding from the deep south. "Howdy!" Certainly NOT as he sounded in CMI I always imagined that Stan would sound a bit like Lyle Lanley from the Simpsons episode "Marge Vs. The Monorail". Only faster. I think that Irish Largo worked pretty well, was a good fit. You can't have a comical hard-man with a Spanish accent. What about Largo's dad's name, Marco? The good news is he's dead.
