Yes! There's an Armando Iannucci film called The Death of Stalin which does this too so, even though they're all supposed to be Russian, you've got Americans and Brits with regional accents portraying them and it just seems funnier for it. Same with the kid's show Horrible Histories. I also just love hearing Antipodean accents so I'm glad they got to speak like themselves.

@@han5234 I wonder if it's because the New Zealand accent sounds so friendly? To me it's one of the least intimidating accents, so the fact they're pirates but speaking so softly just makes the whole thing hilarious lol
