anyone noticed that his accent isn't consistent. I mean when hes in the sub with Destro and the doctors lab scene, he sounds aussie and when hes with the Baroness/Storm Shadow at the Pitt, it sounds American.

Maybe that's why his birthplace is unknown.
From his filecard: "Zartan can become anyone by changing his looks, personalty and voice. He's a genius with make-up and disguises and speaks over 20 languages and dialects." |

I'd say this is fridge brilliance right here. Zartan can change his accent on a whim, all the better to disguise himself.

Sounded South African in every scene to me.
But... the 'mimicking' scene near the beginning was cut out and, presuming I'm wrong and there was one, his 'fluctuating accent' may have been an extension of that: Zartan copied the traits of those around him. May have been scripted that way, may have been the choice of the actor.

Sadly, Arnold Voslo gives one of the better perfomances of the movie, and this is likely one of the intricacies he brought to the character, but due to editing and time constraints the scenes that would have "fleshed out" this behavior were cut, leaving us wondering.
