I heard him speak french in "Southern comfort", where he only says some little words like "au revoir" or "merci", which is easy to say even if you don't speak french. I don't speak japanese but if I am well coached I think I would be able to repeat phonetically some words without even understanding what I say (but so that the Japanese will !) ... In "Choose me" , he says a longer sentence -not in a quite correct french, I mean grammatically- which surprised me so much that I remember each word :" fais attention qu'est-ce que tu dis, hein, les murs ont des oreilles" The correct way would have been "fais attention A CE QUE tu dis..." Well, I would just say that I prefer his english voice... But the strangeness of this sentence makes me think that possibly he was not coached to say that and -maybe- speaks french enough to have decided himself to place this sentence here... A french person wouldn't have said "les murs ont des oreilles" (walls have ears) , old-fashioned expression going back to the second world war when German spies could be everywhere. In the movie he only wants to tell that he understood what Powers Boothe just said in french (PB is supposed to be a Canadian guy and he speaks french, assuming that nobody understands).
