In which Sean Connery movie, for which he won an Oscar, did his character die? I heard the question on *Jeopardy * last night, but when Alex gave the answer somebody here made some loud noise and I missed hearing the answer.
The Untouchables
Thanx 
His only nomination. He also dies in THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING which I’d also rate as one of his best performances.
Did he usually speak without an English/Scottish accent?
Well, he didn’t get a nomination but he also died in the beginning of “You Only Live Twice”,
but, you know,
he lives twice.
No. Even his character on The Untouchables was an Irishman with a Scottish accent.
There is a YouTube channel called “Facts.” where Irish people react to things, and they laughed hysterically at his “Irish” accent.
He played Irishmen in The Untouchables, The Longest Day, The Molly Maguires, and Darby O’Gill and the Little People, but always with a Scottish accent.
IIRC, he had his head lopped off in, “Sword of the Valiant: The Legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight,”* but he just walked across the room, picked it up and screwed it back on.
*Title is best part of film.
That would have been a sight to see.
They wanted SC for, “Skyfall,” but decided that would be confusing as he wouldn’t be playing Bond but everyone would see him as Bond, so they “settled” for Albert Finney, who blew his part outta the water:
KA-BOOM! (Bad guy drops) “Welcome to Scotland.”
OK, so movies Sean Connery dies in are:
Highlander (he got better…somehow)
Untouchables
Sword of the Valiant
What else?
League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen
“Robin and Marian.” She poisons him and herself. They both die. Da end.
Connery played a Soviet Navy submarine captain (of Lithuanian extraction) in The Hunt for Red October, speaking phonetic Russian with a distinct Scottish burr in a way no Balto-Slavic speaker has every pronounced their respective languages. If you know Russian, it is the weirdest sounding pronounciation ever, like a Jamaican speaking Mandarian or Ron Perlman talking in a little girl’s voice.
Also, I don’t know what Sam Neill’s accent was supposed to be, but it was not Russian. “…and I will live in Montana, and I will marry a round American woman, and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck, or possibly even a…recreational vehicle.” It’s not quite Boris and Natasha, but it gives John Malkovich’s ‘Teddy KGB’ a run for his money. Most of the actors, Tim Curry aside, manage a reasonable approximation of Russian or Ukrainian accents.

Sean’s Scottish accent is pretty unusual in itself, it’s like his dentures don’t fit properly, or his tongue is too big for his mouth or something.
See my post above.
He also died in Highlander II, but for some people, that movie doesn’t exist, so it might not count.
Magic! 
^ Never believe it’s not so.
