I was at the premier of this film in London. All the main actors refused to watch themselves on screen and proceeded to get drunk in the bar. I was serving them.

I've watched "Lock Stock..." 20 times. I've watched "Snatched" 10 times. That's the test for me. I keep coming back to "Lock stock..".

The car door head slamming scene for me is one of the best pieces of acting I've ever seen. The pain and frustration Vinny Jones conveyed in that few seconds is legendary.

Geezer is a slang term for a man not a gangster. In the UK, it is used most often to refer simply to a man, e.g. "some geezer was here earlier", and less often as a complimentary phrase, e.g. "he is a proper geezer".

iv always perfered this one over snatch. Don't get me wrong, snatch is absolutely great, but this one just pips it for me. Not to mention it had a fraction of the budget, which i suppose in a way allows it to have a different vibe

Samoan Joes bar is The Royal Oak on Columbia Rd East London. Barry the Baptist was played by Lenny Mclean Bare Knuckle boxing champ.

The music score was Epic!

The actor who played Barry 'The Baptist' was a legit organised crime enforcer. Hence, he was well suite to the role. Despite this, he was always admired as a perfect gent.

That British accent was good, better than Don Cheadle for sure in the Ocean's films...👍

Mafia you shouldn't have let Madness talk you out of it, this film is equally as good as Snatch and this film made Richie. Pit did Snatch only because of lock stock and he did it for almost nothing just because he wanted to be in such an artful brilliant film. This film deserves a 10 out of 10 especially given that it cost only £1m to produce and the story of how it got made.

Great channel, I have always preferred lock stock to snatch. I remember being about 18 seeing it in the cinema

Hi guys, really enjoying your channel. If you're on a bit of a roll on British cinema of the 90s and 00's, I really recommend Trainspotting... It is a classic in so many ways, featuring a young 'young' Obi Wan Kenobe amongst others...

Couple recommendations from British cinema: This is England (2006), a somewhat dark but very personal tale about the lives of troubled youths in the 1980s amid the conflux of white working class Britain, West Indies immigration and far-right politics. And Quadrophenia (1979), which is again about troubled youths but this time it's mods and rockers popping pills and battling on the pebble beaches of Brighton in the 1960s. It's set to a soundtrack by The Who with cinematography by the late great Brian Tufano (Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, Billy Elliot).

Literally just completed watching all the shows and film for the first time. Rlly got invested in the characters Joe Gilgun (Woody) is a very underrated actor im my opinion

Barry the baptist was reputed to be the hardest man in Britain, 1000s of bare Knuckle fights and unlicensed boxing, fighting other ridiculously hard men.

I remember seeing this at the cinema when it was released. It was so different at the time. The camera work is amazing.

One guy is reacting, commenting. The other is watching a movie. I prefer the former in this type of video. He is teaching me things while I am watching it. The other guy is like looking at my friend watch a movie in his living room.

Some advice...to me, a Scotsman, the thought of a British accent is like me doing your accent and calling it Canadian, because you're on the same island as them. Otherwise, love the channel.

A Geezer is a guy, a bloke, a mate, dude, an old guy, a regular Joe... just a slang word for pretty much any bloke you're referring to.

That is true but the expression "Dodgy Geezer" is ubiquitous... hence its connection to crime. Remember Chris Jackson from The Fast Show? "I'm a little bit weerrrr, a little bit weeeeeey, a little bit dodgy! I'm a geezer... I'll nick anything, me!"

Trainspotting for sure will be right up your alley, abit grim but shot wonderfully.

Fun fact: Vinnie Jones was playing professional football (soccer) whilst filming this, if I remember correctly sometimes they had to prospone or move to shoot vinnies scenes around his matches and training.

If you guys haven't seen it, I highly recommend you watch the film by Shane Meadows... "Dead Man's Shoes". It's slower paced than this, but when it ramps up, whoo boy. Dark and gritty, but with more elements of realism than Guy Richie's work. Both directors are brilliant in their own right, different styles, but sometimes touch on related themes.

For more Cockney villains from the past you ought to see the '60's 'The Italian Job' with Michael Caine if you haven't already. 'The Gentlemen' was a more recent Guy Ritchie that was decent. Anything by Edgar Wright has great editing.

Guy Ritchie has said that he wants the camera to be another "character" in many of his films. That's why all of the camera-tricks

Quite a few big names in this brilliant movie - and of course you recognised Sting playing JD the pub landlord, right? This movie was, of course, Vinnie Jones's first movie role, filmed the same year he left his professional 15-year National and International soccer career behind.

Gentlemen - love the content; I suggest you continue your British odyssey with some Edgar wright.

This is England is a must to the comment that mentioned, you should check Rise of the Footsoldier also based on Essex Range Rover murders from Carlton leachs perspective. And i highly suggest: ill manors, produced and directed by Ben drew who is also a rapper/singer that goes by plan b. These are a uk cult classic you must do, Kidulthood, Adulthood, and brotherhood in that order. There’s a couple spin offs like anuvahood. 🔥

07:25 It is probably quite deliberate that the cards he has are 1066. 1066 was the battle of Hastings It was a victory of French/Norman king William (the Conqueror) who defeated Harold(English/Saxon king) and this was the birth of the Establishment we have today. It lead to things like "the Doomsday book" which was an inventory of the entire of Britain. This date is as famous to peeps in the UK as 1776 is to USA folk. The English king Edward "the Confessor" died in January of 1066, he died without an Heir. This created a bit of a sh*tstorm, but eventually Harold was crowned king. Many of England's enemies tried to invade (including Harolds brother another King/claim to be king). Harold had defeated Tostig (hos Bro) and another Viking King in the North of England. Both of his enemies had died in the battle in the north. William invaded in the south only a few days later. Meaning Harold and his army had to march down south again to face William. Harold lost the battle and died. The poker playing Protagonist is Eddie. This is no coincidence(Edward the Confessor?). It is fore shadowing Eddies fall and also hinting that they will face more than one enemy in the process, Genius little touch there. Very subtle but brilliant edit: Just realised that "Hatchet" Harry could be represented by Harold dying as well, or even The Viking king defeated in the North who was called Harald Hadrada

Should've been called "Shut Up, Shut Up, and Two Smoking Shut Ups."

You've done 4 of my all time favourite movies in a row now! Go for 5 and watch In Bruges next? 😁

Got to consider that the budget for Snatch was six times what it was for this!

Harry the hatchet was a prison officer In the classic film Scum ..with ray winstone The actor playing harry was in the scene where carling aka ray winstone First goes into borstel

Feel like the guy on the right is always getting annoyed by the guy on the left ahahahaha

Layer cake. Rock n rolla. Gentlemen.

Slightly different vibe and a bit older, but another fantastic and not well known British movie where multiple storylines come together is South West 9. All based in and around the Brixton area of London (postcode: SW9). The soundtrack to the movie is also fantastic.
