I've got two words for you:
Spinal Tap
hehehe
now in all seriousness, have you heard of any of the following films which were huge success in the U.S. and most of the casts do not have American accents:
The English Patient
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Snatch
Amelie
Like Water for Chocolate
Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down
El Mariachi
Boys in the Hood
If you want, I can list every foreign film, or film with a non-American accent that was hit.
Quite frankly you're wrong. And, sorry, I never saw Mad Max dubbed into American. It was available in both. Have you been to France, Italy, Spain???? Foreieng movies are available dubbed or in the version originale. More often than not, foreign films in the U.S. are subtitled not dubbed.
